Miss Sue Ogburn Caldwell,
daughter of s. A. Caldwell, Esq,
when just budding with the
expanding charms of womanhood,
received the mandate severing the
ties which bound her loving spirit
to friends on earth, and departed
to join the angelic choirs on Jan.
9Th, 1879. She was nearing her
fourteenth birthday and had in
gratiated herself with all who knew
her, with her winning ways, SO as to
be loved by all her playmates, and
fairly idolized at home. Her
afflicted parents have our tenderest
sympathy in their bereavement.
Mr.. d. w. Scott, long a resident
in this neighborhood and of late a
partner in the firm of Shelby, Scott
d Co., of the Gracey Warehouse,
died in New Providence on the day
following, Jan. 6, 1879, of consump-
ton. He had been highly es-
teemed member of this community
in both his business and social re-
lations, and left a large circle OF
friends to deplore his loss and to
sympathise with his youthful and
afflicted widow.
The funeral obsequies of both the
parties deceased were celebrated in
the Methodist Church, and the in
terments in Greenwood Cemetery.

spirited debate. Messrs. West and

Democrats have now nothing but New York
to look to. If we lose New York, little less
than miracle will save us. We may as well
take matters as they are and consider them
from practical point of view. We cannot
afford to deceive ourselves. The worst 1ears
of the Courier-J ournal have come to pass In
the light of this reverse wild and visionary
Democrats must see the error of their ways
and make an effort to amend their folly. Their
hopes lare scattered. Their counsels have
come to nought. They should go to the rear
and fall i'll line, ready to follow and obey. All
is by no means lost. But all will be lost II

Now what is your duty and mine toward cur

South? Nay; may my right arm be palsied and
my tongue cleave to the roof Of my mouth II
ever forget that the South is part of our one
Union, and that their grandfathers and our
grandfathers fought together in the struggle OF
the Revoutionl But our duty is to help up
hold the South by doing what we can to assist
popular education and to compel, by all legiti-
mate means, the practical liberation by all
men of all parties and of all political opinions
throughout the South. l believe the solid
South is as hollow to-day as was the confed-
eracy when Sherman swept through from
Atlanta to the sea. The solid South is as hol-
low as was the then exhausted rebellion. There
are in the county of Kemper smany indepen-
dent men. Some of them took me by the hand
and frankly said This condition OF matters
must be checked or the future OF our beloved
South is blighted." Even during the progress
of the murder trial which was attending, with
mon gathered from every part of the country
an advertisement was published in their coun-

they got together the people refused to have

spread to every county in MISSISSIPPI ana So
for the sake of the poor black man, VINO Is ue-
MED by force the ballot which the constitution

Of the North and Nation to stand to-day in un-
broken ranks and hold this government solid
for education; solid for progress; solid for the
equal personal security and equal political
rights Of all men under the law; solid for the
absolute supremacy OF the nation in all nation
al affairs.
