SPEAKING LAST SATURDAY.

Last Saturday was announced as o
day for public speaking here. and dis
tinguished orators were expected.
When the eleven o'clock train arrived
Gen. Lowry. Maj. Barksdale and Mr..
R N Miller, elector for this district,
stepped off and were serenaded by u
excellent band. The band preceded
the speakers to the Court house, where
"a large aud enthusiastic body OF stur>
dy Democrats assembled.
Gen. Lowry's entrance in the stand
was greeted with prolonged applause.
He spoke III his usually eloquent ana
torclble hammer. He revived the ac-
lions tor the Republican party for Its
twenty years OF plumber; charged the
Secretary of the Navy with wholesale
stealing; the Secretary OF wa
with accepting brides; the Dec
rotary of the Interior with pal
pable fraud; said Garfield was the true
exponent of the Republican party, mas
much as he walks over the laws and
constitution at has pleasure GARFIELD
has said, Il would respect the constitu-
ton AS long as II subserves onr Inter-
est; failing to do that, l would over.
leap the barriers of the constitution.
He told the Greenbackers their follow
ing was too small to attempt to cope
with the two great parties OF b day.
He charged Weaver with helping the
Republicans and acting in their inter-
est: u home Greenbackers with no
dishonesty, but said they had beer mis-
Ierd: invited them back to the Demo
cratic fold to assist IN destroying Re-
publicanism. His reference to Han
cock was chasto and beautiful. We re-
greet that a full synopsis of the speech
could not be obtained. All who heard
it. it as M Of the best evei
delivered here.
r. N. Miller, Esq, followed Gen
Lowry in a speech replete with telling
points and happy HITS. For the second
time he has been selected to bear the
Democratic banner in this district, and
ably does he do it.
Major Barksdale spoke at night te
an audience largely composed OF ladies
His address was the equal of any o
his previous efforts. He never fails tt
/ draw q crowd of appreciative auditors
In this section he is well known ant
| highly appreciated; never failing t.
, respond when duty calls, he has en-
cleared himself to all who know him
Lowry and Barksdale are two of tn
most unselfish and self.sacriicing me-
/ in the State, and we trust their service
will yet be recognized by the part
tbev have SO long and ably served.

Dear.

This day / met an old friend and
hunter, Mr.. j. d. Blue. of Lincoln
county, who informed me that for the
past two years a certain buck has been
in the habit of eating up the COW peas
of the neighborhood. Several times
they have tried to entrap him, but to
no purpose. Last Wednesday, MI.
Blue was feeding his hogs when a fa-
vorite hound, "Old Spot" gave a yelp.
and on going to a famous stand in the
Homonchitto. known as the bee gum
stand, he shot a large buck, with the
following marks and a model, which l
will describe: A swallow fork on left
ear, and underbit on right, with small
clip on tail. The model was brass and
bore the seal of Kentucky. and on one
side was the figures 1890. On SHINING
the dear. which weighed 177I pounds
dressed, MIR. Blue found a %porcupine
quill deeply imbedded in the flesh
with words family inscribed: Ken
lucky shall be our frontier, 1769.n
Cannot some Kentucky friends tel
us whose mark that dear is registered
in. PAP.

A VOICE FROM MACEDONIA.

Editor BrookhdUen Ledger
1t does seem, that the "vexed ques-
tion," as to whether white folks ever
kill each other, around where Citizen
and Shocco so frequently resort, is In q
fair way to be settled. The man who
denied the charge, seems willing to
lose his life to prove it. 1t seems to be
a poor way to argue a point. or settle a
question by charging the other party
with a defect in belief of any kind.
1t is q rough way to ascertain truth at
the expense of personal character.
Truth never needs the aid of any such.
Facts remain forever the same, aud are
not affected by either the belief or sc~
cial standing of those asserting them.
1t is absurd to think that an argument
had to depend for its force and weight,
upon the financial condition of the per-
son making it. 1t is ridiculous to think
that a part of a country's history.
could be determined only by two un>
known and obscure individuals com
parlng characters. 1t is of rare occur
renee. that we find two men, evincing
80 much disinterestedness that they are
willing to sacrifice everything in order
to settle a question which was public
and on which the public was settled
long ago. 1t is but reasoable to sup>
pose, that he who charges the least,
commits the fewest number of sins to
be .'pelted with" 1t is presumable.
when a mans calls upon God through
the newspapers, that he has despaired
of obtaining a private audience; and
that when a man intimates. to blind
Justice, not to strike another, the infer
ence is, that he is preparing a way to
ask the other fellow home with him.

Dear Sir:-The undersigned commit,
tee, appointed for the purpose, have
rho honor hereby to officially notify
you that at the convention Of the
Greenback Labor party, held in Brook
maven on the 18th inst. to nominate a
candidate for Congress from this 9th
Congressional District ef Mississippi,
you were selected as the standard
bearer of said party in the approaching
contest. Aud with full confidence in
integrity and patriotism, we earnestly 30
liclt your acceptance OF the grave re-
sponsibities implied.
The growing tendency to centrliza~
ton of wealth and political power In
Thu nation has assumed a threatening
attitude truly Alarming to all patriots
and lovers OF liberty, equality and JUS
tice. Labor is everywhere robbed and
crushed to the earth, and ground in
the dust by those twin monsters, land,
ed aud monied aristocracy, these huge
aud dangerous monopiies We're brought
into being by the wicked and corrupt
legislation, aud it is useless to inquire
at whose door the orinal sin was found
since both the old parties endors anu
propose to perpetuate the wrong. The
Greenback party Is the only party bes
fore the people that dare. openly, to
reform. To pay the bonds. stop the
interest ard restore..to the Government
the sovereign right to issue and con-
troll the currency, and thus give hon.
est people a decent chance in the hum
bier walks of daily toll, is the essence
of Greenbackism. Once out OF debt,
with q currency controlled by the Gov,
eminent and based upon the wealth OF
the people, industry will spring INTO
activity, labor will awaken to g life
and the shouts and songs OF a happy
people will echo and re-echo where er
the stars and stripes may wave, n
from generation to generation liberty
will expand and grow until 1t Hills the
earth and oppression will have no
place again forever.
