lowed by the death OF the General
himself. leaving ten little babies TO

Canton's Commercial Danger.

EDITOR CITIZEN:-When | con-
ceived the idea of writing to you my

dangers to Cautions commerce, L re-
solved to urge the necessity of ac-
ton on the part of our property
holders md merchants, until such Il
time as action should he taken, or |
preceived an indifference that could
not be aroused INTO interest,
am glad to record that my arti
Gle has received some attention from
those interested, and l believe it
will only require some competent
leader to assume control of the pro-
jet 10 rouse our people into deci-
ded and immediate action. That
such a movement as l propose is
urgent and necessituas, no enc will
deny. Daily L can feel the course
of trade winding its way from its
old channel, and daily the stream
will swell in magnitude,untii naught
but IL rivulet of traffic will be lett to
mark the decadeuce of the glory of
Canton, as mercantile emporium.
The hour is not too late. The death
knell of Cantou's commerce has not
yet been sounded; but the bell has
been moulded, and the willing hands
are ready. 1t is yet time to change
its peals into chimes of joy. Let
our property holders take the initi>
ative. There are men among them
who possess the ability to lead the
van. | would assure them that
| while the success of the movement
would rebound to their interest it
will not diminish their wealth
one cent. The retention of our trad de
and the consequt nt result that
| would manifest itself in the value of
their property can he successfully
consummated without the outlay of
one dollar to Mad son county or its
people. Why not, then, avail ours
selves of IL brnefif that costs naught,
when Il neglect will insure lOsss Our
business men are too alive to the val
ue of a dollar to suffer loss of it.
If they can keep it; so With our real

be called a: an early date. That it
will be largely attended L entertain

The Earmers' Club

1t is known that an agricultural
association has been formed in this
county, and is styled "The Madison
County Farmers Club" Its mem
bers. though there are but few of
them, are farmers, "whO have a
mind to work." and from their uni
ted efforts we may confidently hope
that good will result. Their object
is not simply to have an occasional
pastime, but to ,rork for the adj
vancement of the agricultural in-
terests of the county. 1t would.
perhaps, be presumptuous on the
part of the members to engage Sill
gly in such an undertaking, but by
dividing the work aud distributing
its parts among the members ac>
cording to their several tastes and
opportunities, they hope to accom-
plish something for the calling in
whose interest they have organized.
They ale for the most part men of
varied farming experience. They
already have among them therefore
the knowledge of many facts which
when brought together and COM
pared will greatly forward their
work. Moreover, they accept and
solicit Suggestions and aid from
outside sources, and being men of
liberal views, they welcome to their
number all persons who are in har-
mOny with them and who will take
part in the work they have chosen.
The regular meetings of the club
are held in Canton OH the first Mon
day of each month. There will be
IL regular meeting next Monday
The last regular meeting was held
with open doors, as we presume the
next will be. This is in order that
the farmers may come and learn for
themselves the purposes of the club.
There arc no secrets. 1t is not to
be expected that its rules and regu-
lations will meet the approval of
every person, but these may at any
and all times be made to conform
TO the views of the majority. Farm
ers who hold themselves alOOf can.
not expect that the institution will
be nodded according to their pecu>
liar ideas. 1t must take the impress
Of the persons who compose it.

SENATOR LAMAR is never able
to do anything that does not meet
Win criticism IN certain uualttrS.
what others do with lmpunity is
magnitied into some great impropri-
ely when done by him. Col. Sins
glrton was al Jackson, in his Own
interest all the time during the SEN
atOi ial contest. yet, not one word OF
disapproval is uttered against tim.
It is all reserved for Mr.. Lamar.
And we have another opinion,
which is that if he had been there
in the interest of the 'editOr candi-
date he Clarion, and Tray. Blanche
and Sweetheart Ginning in, would
not have found anything i'll 1t to
condemn. If his presence at Jack
son contributed to bring about the
result whicl, was finally reached i'll
the Senatorial contest, then he was
rendering the State bigger ser
vice than he could possibly have
done at Washington FickSburG
Commercial.
The attitude of Col. Singleton at
Jackson was totally different from
that of Col. Lamar, and any compar~
ison of the two must result unfavOr
ably to the latter. Col. Singleton
had business in Jackson, the BUSH
ness Of endeavOring to promote bis
own honorable and laudable ambi>
ton; whereas Col. Lamar appears in
the role of a uperservlceable friend
pushing the interest of a third par.
ty-using not only his personal in
tiuence, but the prestige Of his high
office-from which it is impossible
for him to seperate his lBdividnali-
ty. Moreover, Col. Lamar appears
ed as debating choice to body
whose predecessor he had defied by
his vote III the Senate. Further
more, he was engaged in defeating
two men whose course upon the
electoral commission, was as clearly
the true policy of the Democratic
party as his course has been proven
short.sighted and disastrous. 1t is
also remembered that Senator La
mar went to the last State conven-
ton as county delegate, and while
no man sh Guild be above the duties
pertaining to the humblest citizen,
the people DONE like this persistent
clog rolling" which is properly re-
garded as the peculiar province of
the ward politician. We admire
and revere Missis-ippi's great Gend-
tor-a worthy descendant of an il
lustrious Southern linease-but we
should like to see no more of these
things, which, like spots upon the
sun, dim the lustre of his name.
Even a. the risk of being classed
with Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart,
We must say that we don't see how

has fought a hundred battles for
