BOLTON ITEMS.

W e are still healthy.

We are still healthy.
Business was only moderate the past week.
Capt. D. G. Pepper, brother of our fellow
townsman T. c. Pepper, was in town last
Sunday.
brought into requisition in a single instance last
week.
Mr.. W. z. Hackett, an employee of the Mis-
sissippi Valley Bank, spent last Sunday in our
delightful little burg.
The weather has been showry and threatening
and fearful of overdose Of rain,
having had all we wanted the week previous.
Miss Katie Muller, who has been absent about
six weeks, visiting friends III Nicksburg and up
Gaz0o River, returned home last Saturday even
ing.
We were spared the entcing looks and win
ming ways, Of the commercial tourist to a great
extent the past week, there being only about
half dozens arrivals, all told.
The worms are all that is likely to shortep or
injure our cotton crop, though there Is no APP
pearance of them yet, and We hope that We may
not be called upon to chronicle their arrival
Mr. W. j. Randall who has been employed
clerk with different parties in town for the
past two years left hast Wednesday for Balti-
more, his former home.
Quite a number of Boltonites were present at
the reunion at Moore's Springs last Thursday,
and all expressed themselves a having had
most delightful time, and speak in the highest
terms of the people of that locality.
Those enterprsing merchants, Messrs. With
ers and Black, are sparing neither labor or
means in finishing up their mammoth brick
store house which viii evidently be the hand
soonest and most attractive structure that our
town can boast of.
Our merchants have certainly marked their
goods to rock bottom prices gentleman
from the rural district, came in and went to
Vicksburg day last week to buy some goods,
expecting of course to discount our prices here
imagine his disappointment, however, when he
returned, and remarked that he could buy as
cheap here, as he could there, he accordingly
made his purchases here.
Politics have simmered down, and though
there has been some little muttering and talk
of Greenbackers and Independents, we believe
that the straight-out ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ticket will receive the entire support of our see
ton. There will in all probability be no Beat
nominations, in which event perhaps there will
be a scrub race for the different Beat offices.
The young men of our town gave one Of their
most enjoyable and successful dances at the
large and commodus pavilion in the Cameron
grove on Wednesday night last. Among visit
ing young ladies present were Misses Matte
Shields Della Perry and Johnnie Hunt, of
Vicksburg; Miss Mollie Capers, of Yazoo City;
Miss Maud Coker, of Edwards Misses Matte
Charlton and Sallie Peyton, of Raymond, and
Miss Mollie Martin, of Brownsville. 1t is said
to have been most recherche affair.

Yazoo County Refugees.


THEIR INTERVIEW WITH THE GOVERNOR.
On Monday last Capt. Jesse f. Bell indie
pendent candidate for Chancery Clerk, his
brother, Maj. J. r. Bell, and 4 negro, arrived
in this city from Yazoo county. They had
interviews with Gov. Stone on Monday and
again on Yesterday Tuesday, We under
stand that they stated that armed men had
waited upon MI J. f. Bell, the candidate, and
informed him that he must withdraw from
the canvass, or leave the county; that large
numbers of negroes were lying out in the
swamp, and that everything in the county was
i'll state OF terror; that H. NJ. Dixon, the In
dependent candidate for Sheriff had large
numbers of white supporters, and that no at
tempts had been made to raise race issues in
the county; that until the mob took posses
sion OF the county, the negroes were at work,
quiet and peaceable, but now all was
turmoil and confusion. They stated that the
Independent candidates were all Democrats
but were opposed to nominations for the nom
political offices (so-called.) They wanted the
Governor to call on the Federal Government
for troops OF call out the militia to protect
the Independents in their canvass They said
that the Sheriff and civil officers were in
sympathy with the mob, and that no protec-
ton could be expected at his hands by indie
pendents.
We understand that the Governor told
them that he would not call for Federal
troops-that Mississippi was able to take care
of herself; that he did not see, as yet, any
necessity for calling out the militia, and that
he would write to the Sheriff of Yazoo county
to give all citizens the protection of the law.
The refugees returned to their homes yes

Whilst in Jackson on the 23d, we were for q
few minutes in the q. B. Convention, and just
in time to hear the closing of Gen. Davis's
speech, and it reminded so much of some we
heard in rs, that we asked an old colored man
if he heard it all, and he said, 'Oh, yes sir, but
