My idee Is TO use your money to pay your
debts. Take the coin reserve and paw OF your
bonds, and that will leave your greenbaeks
without any gold basis, an irredeemable paper
currency, just what We WANT.
That is just what we should have if the
greenback theory should ever prevail.

Get your votes of men whom you

1t is a well known fact that untiI

been a bold and Outspoken demo.
cratic paper, but since it's editor
become a candidate for State sena-
tor there has come over the spirit
of Mr.. Wright's dreams a radical
change, and now he delights in
abusing and misrepresenting the
true democracy of this State. The
change of heart in the Herald edi.
tor is thus accounted for by the
Washington Post:
The Vicksburg Herald, a paper so fire.
quently commended by republican journ-
ais on account of its alleged self-sacrificing
course with reference to the Dixon killing,
was q few years ago q most violent advo-
cate OF a white line democracy, but has
completely changed front since its editor
returned home from Washington last
spring. While here the editor was in con
slant and suspicious private cOmmuni

A leading republican, ex-United States
Senator Pease, who had stumped the
Northwest for Hayes and Wheeler, was
turned out of the p~ostoffice at Vicksburg
and a friend of the Heratds editor, Mr..
Dickson, put in. Senator Lamar was in
duced to favor the confirmation of Dickson
on the ground that he was a democrat, but
when the Herald editor returned home he
made haste to publish. Mr.. Dickson as a
conservative man. The Herald next ridI-
culed and then assailed the action of the
democrats in extra session. Soon thereaf-
ter it became an ultra-advocate of the ne
grn's right to Gmce, ana nov the editor is
an independent candidate for the State
senate, and is the most blatant opponent
of what he calls the negro-be Tanned de-
mocracy. We have heard it said that he
promised Hayes to take this course if his
friend was appointed postmaster at Vicks-
burg. Is this truei

A sTUDIous LOOKING man ar
rived at an Iowa county fair with
a large and intricate machine,
which he unloaded with great care
from a wagon. The superintend-
ent asked him what it was, so as
to be able to assign it to q proper
place among the exhibits. He re-
piled that it was AN apparatus for
making human beings. 81 put the
proper amount of bone, muscle,
blood, and so on, into this hopper"
he continued, "set the wheels III
motion, and the result within an
hour is a perfect adult man or wo-
man." The only imperlection in his
invention, he went on to say, was
that the creatures thus made had
no souls, but he hoped soon to
remedy that. He was allowed to
set up the machine, and to explain
it to crowds; but he was unable to
get the proper materials for a prac'
teal illustration.

The professor OF practical agricul-

miles distant without leaving his

students in the field.

THE primary election in DeSoto
county resulted in an unsatisfacto-
ry manner, as regarded the shreiv-
atty, both contestants, Rains and
Bynum, claiming to have been
elected. The executive committee
ordered another election, but as
the Bynum men took no part in it
the committee decided that Sheriff
Bynum was re-nominated for the
Office. The matter is still unset
tied and will probably result in an
independent candidate running.

to mislead and prejudice the puoiic
against our present worthy anu
efficient. district attorney, Hon.
Thoms S. Ford, whose duty i'm
posed upon him the obligation OF
prosecuting Mr.. Gulley under the
charge OF numbering Miss CHS
holm. w do not, however, charge
the editor of the Advertiser with
undue or improper motives in the
above, nor do we believe it WAS his
intention to mislcad the public or
to III any manner injure Mr.. Ford,
either as a lawyer or as a candidate,
but believe the paragraph was
penned without thinking how the
public would construe the language
used. Upon reading the above the
public would most naturally sup
pose that Mr.. Ford wished to evade
his whole duty as district attorney,
and that, being IA candidate for re.
election, he desired to evade re-
sponsibility as much as possible,
thereby attempting 10 retain the
good will and influence of the Gull
leys and their friends in Kemper
county.
We have made some inquiries in
relation to the practice of district
attorneys throughout this State, in
such cases, and have been informed
by eminent practitioners, among
them a gentleman who was for
years a district attorney, that Mr..
Ford's actions in this case were
not a departure from the usual Gus
tom. This gentleman to whom we
refer mentioned several instances
in which district attorneys left the
closing argument to the prosecut-
ing attorneys, and stated that he
himself had done so.
We feel assured the Advertiser
did not Intentionally intend to in
jure Mr.. Ford, and that the editor
will rectify his mistake.
