A Scene of Yore.
Jackson Clarion.

Jackson Clarion.
The Kinds county radical conven-
tiOn, which met in this city on Sat
urday last, to select delegates to
the State convention, was some
thing out OF the ordinary run of
events. 1t was composed of dele
gates from every precinct in the
county (nine tenths black) and
from the time il was called to order
to its close, "a scene of confusion,
riot aud turmoil was presented
which beggars description. Drawn
up on one side of the room were the
Sherman men, under the skilltul
leadship OF Revenue Collector Hill.
On the other side were the third
termers-each one striving to be
leader. The latter we're largely in
the majority, but the result of the
days wrangle shows that Hill
forced them to divide the spoils.
Two sets of delegates presented
themselves from jackson, each
swearing they would have their
seats or row. This difficulty was
obviated by seating both. Early in
the action the question of instruct.
ing Grant for was raised and then
the real contest began. The speeches
were fierce aud insulting. The con.
fusion was Intense. Speakers
mounted chairs, tables, desks, and
anything else that happened to be
convenient. "Liar," "fool,' shire
ling and "impostor,' were com
paratively gentle epithets aud hon
eyed compliments. A row was
imminent, aud the curious crowd
OF outsiders who were looking on
did all III their power to add fuel to
the flames. After several hours OF
this amusement a motion was made
and carried, to appoint a commit
tee to select delegates, flour for
Grant, aud four for Sherman,) to
the State convention. The CON-
mittee retired, and during the
recess several speakers entertained
the audience, among them Judge
Alcorn, Capt. Spears, OF Vicksburg
and Collector Hill. In response to
a call from the outsiders), Mcleod,
late defeated greenback candidate
for circuit clerk of Kinds co. came
to the stand and made the speech
of the occasion. He told his color
ed brothers that they had been
sold out by Federal office holders
that while they wanted all Grant
they had been forced to take part
Sherman he considered this the
funeral of the republican party
etc. Stiffness reigned among the
Shermanists, but the audience and
Grant men cheered loudly. The
committee, through Capt. Estelle
reported the names of the delegates
appointed; the report was accept
ed, and the convention adjourned

How Kill a Town.

Jackson Republican.
The following rules which we
clip from an exchange, If strictly
adhered to, are warranted to kill a
town inside oi two years:
Ii you should have an empty
building to rent, demand three
times its value.
Give the cold shoulder to every
merchant aud mechanic who desires
to come among you.
Never buy anything from your
home merchants aud manufacturers
send abroad tor all you need, you
may occasionally save a cent oil
two.
Never contribute a cent to the
cause Of education.
Don't trouble yourself about the
poor-the Lord will take care OF
them.
Don't think of advertising in
your home paper, if you do people
at a distance will suppose there ID
some business done in your town;
don't subscribe for it, unless you
can get it on credit; you should
regularly borrow your neighbor's
copy, though, "just to see what
that fellow has to say.'

Jones' Speech.

Meridian Homestead.
Our friend, b. +. Jones, of the
Winona AdpdRCe, is a clever fellow.
He has more practical wit about
him, and something else he some
times practices, than any other fel.
low We know of. Jones went to
Vicksburg recently to help run the
State medical convention, and his
good looks aud familiarity com-
pletely captivated those fellows.
Meridian was put in nomination for
the association to hold its next
meeting here, but Jones wanted it

the floor and asked to give the adj.
vantages Winona had over Merid.

cred them sufficient the next meet

rose aud said:
Gentlemen of the State Medi-

fifteen hundred thousand people.
The doctors began to look at each

was seen iu their faces. | mean it

The Mason Valley Minister.

Bodie Free Press
If it had not been for the coo'
and very thoughtful judgment of
the resident clergyman at Mason
Valley last Sunday, that commuui.
ty to-day would be in disgrace aud
without the holy influences of the
gospel. On that occasion the man
of God proved himself equal to any
emergency. The place of meeting
was comfortably filled; the minis
ter had read the psalm beginning,
"The Lord is NY shepherd, | shall
not wants" had given out the text,
g For the Son of Man came not to
be ministercd unto, but to munster,
and gave His life a ransom for
many.n "a collection will now be
taken for the promotion of mis-
slonary work in Van Diemau's
Land,n he remarked, and took II
seat to await results sud contem-
plate his sermon.
The deacon reached the lower
end of the room and came to u
rancher with a red beard, long hair
and a scar on bis right cheek. He
dropped a 500 piece in the hat, but
it had scarcely passed out OF his
hand before he recollected that the
years taxes had not been paid, and
reached over to take back some
change. The deacon objected, aud
in the scuffie the hat was overtnrn-
ed and the coin scattered on the
floor. The congregation made a
rush for the money and undou0t-
edly there would have been a tree
fight Rad not the minister jumped
into the pulpit, aud leveling 4 SIX
shooter, yelled in terrific tone.
"Order! The first one tha. moves
| is a corpse! What kind of game
il thisf Recollect that this is
Gods holy day that this is Gods
church, and by God you must act
decent! This amt Chandelaria,
take your seats. When a man puts
down his money in this game it all
goes, partner, and don't forget it;
Deacon, gather up the coin and
we'll proceed with the days devo-
tion."
The x.shooter was placed under
the edge of the Bible with the
hymn book, and the sermon com
menced, with an attentive congre'
cation.
The hast hymn was "Nearer my
God to Thee," which was sung with
much feeling. After the benedlc'
diction motion was made and car
ried that the minister's salary be
increased, aad that he he allowed q
two months vacation during the
heated term.
