NOTES FROM EAST MISSISSIPPI.
COLUMBUS, March s, 1879.
EDITORS CLARION: Unlike Miss Flora Nc
Flimsey, THE CLARION has something to
wear, and is heartily to be congratulated upon
its new dress. l thought the print good
enough before, and had no idea, until glancing
at this weeks issue, that such a change could
be effected. The impression is at once clear
and bold but not too black, the entire tout en-
sl7,Jle Il believe they call it, attractive as the
pages of the last magazine. There is no mer-
cenary motive to be imputed to me when the
foregoing rude praise is supplemented with the
remark that no journal more thoroughly blends
the spritsr in mode with the t9riter IN re, in its
editorial management, than the honored or
gan ofthe Mississippi Democracy. As good old
Rip would say, Here's to you-may you live
long and prosper"
THE COTTON SEED OIL MILL
contemplated for Columbus is TO become a
fixed fact and as a blessing to one section of
the State more or less benefits all, hope you
will allow a brief renewal of the subject in your
columns, trusting it may inure " bread upon
the waters" by inducing other capitalists to
turn their eyes to a State so far lifted above
many of her sisters in the gifts of nature. The
projectors are from Georgia. State, by the
way, which ranks ninth in the Federal Union,
for manufacturing enterprise-and their names
are Messrs Weilman, Levin, Frank & Co.
They have purchased four-or-fve acre plot
of ground near the railroad depot upon which
they are preparing to erect buildings estimated
to cost $4,000 The mill will require the
services of about seventy-fve hands, and a
weekly expenditure of from $500 to 800. The
proprietors are already here, have rented resi-
dences and being experts in the business, they
know no such word as fail. In this cotton belt
we all know thousands of bushels of seed are
pdsted annually, and now told that the
stuff heretofore so little valued except for fer
tilizing and cow-feed, contains very Golconda
in all its parts For, by this mill arrange
ment, not only is an oil extracted that ranks
with sweet and other oils of its grade and
value, but great deal of lint cotton is saved
before the seed is crushed, and when that pro-
cess is done, there Is a meal made, and two or
three other outcomes utilized that / cannot

familiar with the staple as Col. Richardson or
the Khedive of Mummydom.
Think OF the increase of money circulation,
the employment of hundreds of worthy men,
women and children, and the impetus to sub
stantial immigration accruing from the estab-
lishment OF several oil mills like this, and one
or two more cotton factories, in Mississippi
Nav the dav soon draw near.
THE srAKvILLE SCANDAL
continues the regret and establishment of this
region, involving the grief of one of the
first families OF Oktibbeha, the lifelong sorrow
| OF of the sweetest among the many noble
women of East Mississippi, and is an event,
which, even when the pecuniary embarrass-
ment of the unfortunate man is considered,
seems inexplicable. The influence, wealth,
Understanding and number of his connection
had passed into pleasant proverb IN that
community, and up to the hour OF his depar-
ture Montgomery's character was above re-
proach. Like her husband, the broken-hearted
Young wife comes of an honored name, and
was the only daughter and idol of parents who
would not suffer " the winds of heaven to visit
her too roughly" in their devotion. Highly
| accomplished, amiable and lovely in form and
| feature-what picture of domestic bliss might
| not have been painted for her? That the good
Lord may comfort her, and be protector to
| her % shorn lambs F" is the wish of many a
| friend who knew and admired her in the
charm of virgin girlhood

capital punishment in this county for nearly
thirty years.
THE FARM AND GARDEN

on apace. The fact Is, these times would make
any man feel uneasy except an ofice-holder

class are already upon the anxious seat
