Clerical and Lay are in attendance, most,
if not all of the charges in the District be-
ing represented. Rev. II. d. Noteworthy

sen Secretary.
The morning and afternoon sessions

Who Was the Applicant ?


Mr. EDIToR-In your last issue you ask the ques
ton, "who was 1t that applied for the place of
United States District Attorney, made vacant by
the death Of Judge Thomas Walton, and to which
G. C. Chandler was appointed" We were inform
ed about the time the application made but for
fear the information was erroneous, write to re-
quest that you enlighten us. VOTERS
We are informed that the applicant afore-
said was THos. W. HARRIS, then Chairman
of the Democratic Executive Committee of
Marshall county. Whether he made an APP
plication personally we are uncertain, but
he was recommended for that position by
Senator Lamar, whose letter is on file in the
department, and spoke of Col Harris as a
Democrat We had been told that Col. H.
was an applicant, and hence the inquiry,
which we have answered as far as our in
formation of the matter enables us to do
so. Col. Lamar's recommen iation would
indicate that though Democrat, Col Har-
ris was hardly as strong Greenbacker then
as now-Col. Lamar not being regarded as
an eminent Greenbacker.

A Sad Suicide.



The community was startled and shocked
this morning at the announcement that
Capt. Harris Wilkerson had committed sui.
eide. Our reporter went at once to the
scene and found the unfortunate gentle,
man lying on lounge in the back room of
his store, with a bullet hole in the right
temple, bloody and dead The deed was
committed with deliberation. apparently.
as his hat and cane were found in corner
of the room, while his lifeless right hand
still held the fatal deriuger with which his
life had been taken.
1t Is supposed that recent financial en-
barrassments and q terrible afliictIon that
had befallen his devoted wife, in the prob
able loss of her eyes, prompted the act
The coroner and jury held an inquest and
rendered verdict in accordance with the
facts. Capt. Wilkerson was an honored,
respected citizen of this community, a
member of the Knights Templar, Knights
of Pythias Knights of Honor and was held
in high esteem by all who knew him. He
was for many years chief clerk at the
wharfboat, and recently embarked in busi-
ness for himself at the Cherry street rail
road crossing, with limited success. how
ever, as he frequently expressed very des-
pondent views of his future, and his death
was no doubt caused by this mental de-
preston. He was connected by marriage
with one of our Oldest and best families,
having number of years ago led to the
altar Miss Jennie, daughter of the late
Hon. Robert Crump, successful business
man and the honored Mayor of Vicksburg.
To his bereaved widow we tender our
sincere coincidence, and heartily trust that
merciful God will look with pity upon her
double afflction, and give her strength to
meet the worlds hard battle in this most
unhappy time of trouble and sorrow. Capt.
Wilkerson leaves to the care of their de
voted mother two bright little children,
who mourn the loss of their unfortunate
parent.

Another thing, son, you want to remem,
Der, that wearing twenty inches of coat
propped out across sixteen inches of should
ers doesn't make gymnast of you by any
means, any more than straight back, a
measured step, and Burnside hat with q
corn and acorn give you war record.
There have been young men, aye, and old
men too, before your time, who owed the
tailor for their chest and shoulders, and
owed for them a precious long time, too.
There have been young men who could
waltz for an hour and sixty>eight minutes
without once sitting down to rest, who
couldn't saw enough of wood to warm a
flannel take, not if starvation stared them
in the face and tried to drive them to it.
Don't worry about your shape, son. Men
will admire your crooked legs if your trous-
ers are paid for, and if your back is so lop-
sided that you have to keep your helm hard
a-port all the time, to keep from walking
around the block to starboard when You
want to go straight ahead, you'll never
think of it if You don't owe for your coat
that lies in such ungainly, honest wrinkles
across it. The man who doesn't owe dol
lar is good man, even If he hasn't crust
to eat in the house. And don't borrow. If
you can't get along without having more
than you've got, don't borrow steal. You'll
feel better about it, and as general thing,
you will be more respected and less tor
mented.

The Summit Times is respectfully in
formed that the true reason for the ventel
lation of an enterprising young gentleman
in the columns of THE COMET short time
since, was not the fact of his borrowing
money with purpose to defraud. If his

have felt called upon to say a word but it
was that other proclivity he betrayed to

broke the backbone of our forbearance
