Tie Agricultural and Mechanical
College.

TO the Editor Of the Comet:
SO far as can be judged from the
newspapers-and they generally re-
fleet the opinions Of the people-the
organization Of the A. & NJ. College
thus far meets almost universal apprO-
baton. The President, Gen. S. d.
Lee, of Columbus, has all the essential
qualifications to organize, to discipline
and to administer the functions Of an
executive officer. Only let him have
voice in the selection of his subor-
dinates, and the harmony and the CO.
operation of the faculty, so indispen-
sable to success, will most assuredly
be secured. This will doubtless be
the policy Of the Board, as it certainly
is to the interest Of the College. If
men owe their position-in "a measure
to the will Of the President, they
will invariably aid him most cordially
in all his plans for promoting the in
terests of the school.
Since the school is to open in No
vember the organization of the
faculty should be completed at once.
The men elected can have but short
time at best to compare views, to dis
cuss and digest methods and plans,
and to become one in aim and pur-
pose. The Professors, as soon as
chosen, will exert themselves to make
the people see the advantage Of agri-
cultural and mechanical training in
connection with the acquisition Of
linguistic and scientific lore, and thus
will secure the popularity of the Col
lege from the first. The people are
impatient to have the faculty chosen
school communities, whose favorite
teachers are applicants, ,arein suspense;
teachers are doubtful and rs the time
draws near for the commencement cX-
ercises, when Trustees are to elect
Principals and teachers for another
year, it is all-important that it he
known whether such and such teach
ers can be secured, or whether they
viii be invited to take up their abode
at Starkville.
If the faculty are not chosen while
the Board is in session at Starkville,
another meeting at an early day will
bc Indispensable, and to avoid possible
inconvenience, and probably too long

THE New Orleans Ledger says that
the object of Senator Bruce's visit to
Jackson some days since, was to
secure the endorsement by the Mis-
sissippi Republicans of either Blaine
or Sherman for President, and him
self for the recond place OIL the ticket.
The Ledger says:
To accomplish these objects, 1t IS
understood that the Senator will Visit
this CITY in few days, where he VIII
make arrangements with some of our
leading colored Custom House officials
TO visit Jackson at the time of the
meeting of the convention to lobby in
his interests, and assist in giving
strength to the Vice-Presidentiai
boom' The Senator's little game Will
hardly win in Mississippi. That
State will hardly trust in the face OF
the Chicago Convention the name OF
anv man for the second place in the
cift of the people, but if they do, the
name presented as the choice OF Mis-
sissippi's Republicans will be that OF
ex-Governor James l.. AlcOrn, the
friend of General Grant.

something else he sometimes practlces,
than any other fellow we know OF.
Jones went to Vicksburg recently TO

ton, and his good looks and familiar
ity completely captivated those tel-
lows. Meridian was put in nomination
for the Association to hold its next

taoes Winona had over Meridian, and
if the Association considered them
sufficient the next meeting would be

TaImage on the South.

On last Sunday Parson Talmage
turned his guns against the bloody
shirt shriekers and stalwart liar..
Mr.. Talmage said that he had Travelled
within the last year or two, over Il
good portion of the South, and had
mingled and conversed freely with all
classes of the people. He was pre-
pared to denounce as falsehoods the
statements that the Southern people
are disloyal; that they are anxious
again for slavery, and that they do
not accord to the negroes their pOliti-
cal rights. He declared that the
South is the richest portion Of our
country, and advised young men in
search of homes and fortunes to seek
them in the South. Continuing he
said:
81 bring to-day general invitation
to you all and all the North to go to
the South and settle nown. Horace
Greeley's cry of go West, must be
changed to Go South, or rather add
ed, for there is room enough all over.
There are fortunes by the hundreds
to be made by the first men to 20 in
to take possession of the riches of the
South. You Northern workers go
down where you can breathe. The
fare is only $15, if you are not too par
ticular how you travel. Afraid Of
heat ?Iou have hotter days here than
ever are there. OF Fever? Where
ever you go West or South, you have
an acclimating attack, and it is only
Il different kind of shake. Stop ours
ing the South, and stop lying about
her, and go South and develop her
immense resources Of mining and
forests. Let your Northern young
men settle down VITA the Southern
young women, and under the magnolia
grove and the orange tree put your
political feuds asleep in the cradle Of Il
generation half North half South.
Mr.. Talmagc's remarks were receiv-
ed with many indications of approval.
He closed his sermon by saying:
"If half dozen politicians North
and South would only consent to die,
there would be no more sectional aC-
crimony. 1t would only be case
then for the uudertakers. We would
gladly fit up the catafalque and play
the "Rogues March. ~
Mr.. Talmage's sentiments will find
an echo in thousands of hearts North
and South. If it hadn't been for the
politicians sectional feelings would
have died out long ago.-N. O. Times.

Mr.. A. G. Walker showed us very
peculiar kind of milk-white water
taken from well bored for Thomas
Welch in this county. 1t has no med
ical virtues more than ordinary water,
but it cannot be told from milk eX-
cept by taste. This well possesses
fortune in the hands of some milk
men.-Westville News.
This beats a COW all hollow; and it's
a genuine article of the kind, and what
we buy for milk nowadays would

A PIucky EIOpement.


The Elizabeth City, North Carolina,
neighborhOOd is i'm state of great eX-
citement over the recent Sensational
elopement and marriage of gushing
young couple. Jonathan Ivy has for
some time been courting the handsome
daughter of n respected and well-to-dO
citizen. The young girls name was
Florence Seymark. Her parents did
not approve of Young Ivy's advances,
and finally forbade him their house.
The lovers however, managed to meet
claudestinely, and had made their
minds up to an elopement, which was
to have occurred one night. Old man
Seymark, by some means or other, got
wind Of the proposed escapadc, and
went cunning that day for jonathan.
Coming up with the gay young lover,
he blaZed away at him, shooting him
i'm the left shoulder, and iLtlicting a
painful but not dangerous wound.
Florence was overwhelmed, but her
nassion for her wounded lover was in
tensified a thousand fold. She sent
him a letter telling him she would fly
with him that night il he would come
for her. so that night young Ivy put
i'm appearance, with a close carriage,
about o'clock. Miss Florence was
i'm a terrible dilemma, for her cruel
parents. to insure against any e-ca-
pade, had NOT only locked the girl into
her room, hut had also taken away
every stitch uf her clothing. But she
