Thursday last, by which Arthur
Gibson lost his life. Leonidas and
Augustus Msece, James Brown,
Resa Kennedy and Arthur Gibson
took their guns and dogs and went
to ii corn field to kill some deer that
were eating the corn and peas.
FOur of them took stands around
the fence, while Brown went into
the field to drive the deer out. Glib
son left the stand at which he was
stationed, and ran to another place
and got on the fence, just as deer
jumped up between him and Brown,
when Brown fired on the deer and
shot Gibson in the head. He lived
until Sunday night, when death re
leased him from his sufferings.

By Miss Jennie N. Noondu, of Canton.
With hearts full of pride and devotion,
With hearts that have loved and have
bled,
We will honor the brave who are living,
We will weep for the brave who are
dead.
For you who are living, the willow
Still weeps DER the hopes once so dear;
For 1.-THE loved and the lost" tho dark
cypress
Still glistens with many a tear.
When the themes of song and of story
Were those of the Knight and his lance,
And his deeds of valOr and glory
Were written in bright Romance,
Then the heroes of Chivalry's ages,
Who followed the vision of Fame,
Recorded in HIstory's pages
A Richards and Saladin's name.
Right worthy were they of their glory
Their hearts were manly and true
AS any that beat with emotion
Meath Il jacket of Grey or of Blue.
But the age of true romance has vanished,
The world has grown wiser, they say;
And the deeds that once claimed her
proud homage,
Do not win the same homage to day.
OU.' heroes are men who as patriots,
Not as kuights nor as warriors grand,
Went forth to the dread field of battle,
To fight for our own sunny land.
Not by helmet or corselet protected,
AS were the brave heroes of old
Your helmets were minds, strong and
steady,
Your corselets were hearts, stout and
bold.
You were brave, though the cause once SO
cherished
Was lost. with your hopes, long ago;
You were brave, though your banners were
lowered,
And the South mourned in sorrow and
woe.
You were vanquished, but bright is the
glory
That CLOVIS in your deeds of the past,
Remembered as long as Shiloh
Or the plains of Manassas shall las1.
Then, with hearts full of pride and devt :
ton,
We will honor our heroes to-day,
When the clouds of oppression have van
ished,
And the gloom of defeat passed away.
While the Angel of Peace watches DER MS,
And with Loves magic wand in her
hand,
She has welded her scepter of olive,
And blessing has hallowed our land.

DISTRICT CONVENTION.
Maj. n. s. Foote, of Madison, Nomi.
mated for District Attorney.

Tbe convention OF this, the Ninth
Judicial District, called to nominate
candidate for District Attorney,
met in Jackson on Wednesday last.
Mr.. Ualbert, chairman of the execu-
live committee of Kinds county,
called the convention to order, and
Oliver Clifton, Esq, was unani>
mously elected temporary seci etary.
On motion, committee on cre>
dentials was appointed, who, after
consultation, reported that the
counties of YazoO, Madison, Kinds
and COpiah were represented by
properly accredited delegates, and
recommended that each county be
entitled to six votes in nominating
the candidate, and that the two>
thirds rule should prevail; which
was carried.
The convention being prepared
for business, Mr.. Halbert and Mr..
Clifton were unanimously elected
permanent President and Secretary.
Nominations for District Attorney
then being in order, Yazoo present.
ed the name of Mr.. Holt, IIInds
that of Mr.. North, Copiah that of
Mr.. Bridewell, while our own coun-
ty presented Major Foote as her
choice for this honorable position.
Balloting commenced, ADD each
county, for ten or twelve consecu-
tive ballots, cast its votes solid for
its own candidate, each nominee
receiving six votes.
When the deadlock thus caused
had continued for some time, it was
moved and carried that a commit
tee of three from each county should
be appointed to devise some means
of breaking the deadlock.
Said committee reported that it
was most expedient that each dele
gate should be allowed to vote for
two candidates; one as his first
choice, the ether as his second
choice; that after a ballot the votes
should be counted, and the candi>
date receiving the least number as
first and second choice combined,
should be dropped.
A ballot was then taken, and the
count revealed that under the above
resolution Mr.. Brideweil was drop
ped.
Another ballot was had, and Mr..
Holt of YaZoo met a similar fate,
thus leaving the contest between
Mr.. North of Kinds aud Mai. Foote
of Madison.
Several ballots ensued, when the
name of Mr.. North was withdrawn,
and Maj FOote was unanimously
elected, and was declared by the
chairman to be the nominee of the
Democratic party for the position
of District Attorney for the Ninth
Judicial District.
We are glad to learn that the ut
most good feeling characterized the
convention, and while the friends
OF the various candidates most
earnestly urged the claims of their
favorites, perfect harmony pre-
vailed.
We congratulate our county-man
on his success in bearing away the
prize. especially in view of the f,ct
