A GOOD MAN DEAD.

Just as we 90 to press our commune
~ is in deep distress at the death of
our prominent and distinguished
townsman Capt. J. n. Atkinson. Our
limited space will not permit of a no.
tice that could possibly do justice to
his memory, which we will attempt
in our next issue.-Summit Times.
Few men in the State of Mississippi
Were better entitled to the high char
acter designated by the phrase, ga
good man, He was Il successful
merchant, and an industrious and ac-
compllshed business man, but his for
tune was sadly impaired, if not des-
trOyed by too great a disposition to
lift up the fallen and aid the needy.
Full of generosity, he was an easy
victim to the appeals Of those in want.
There are to-day, scattered all over
the counties of South Mississippi,
scores of men and women, who will
call to their minds MANY acts Of IL
interested liberality from his hands,
and will pay to his memory the
tribute OF Il tear. A genial friend, u
useful and publlc-sprited citizen, Il
loving father and husband were lost
when the cold sod covered the re-
mains of Capt. J. n. Atkinson.

TRUE GRIT.

Jones' philosophy is not bounded by
thanksgiving dinner in the figura.
tive sense of the phrase. He has been
an editor too long not to be able to
appreciate the sustaining force of a
vivid Imagination where there is moth
ing but air for it to act on. When,
therefore, thanksgiving epoch oc-
ours, and the turkey est non, or when
Jones' affections run out and are pro-
fusely and literally distributed among
eleven hundred delinquent subscri-
beers, and he calls upon them in the
most touching and endearing language
to "come up" and, like the spirits of
the vastly deep, they don't come,
Jones has a remedy in either case. In
the difficulty about the turkey he
takes his revenge out on an honest
piece of roast beef, and demonstrates
to the satisfaction Of his anxious
readers that Il true and dignified pa
triot can be abundantly thankful on
beef and sweet potatoes. In fact, he
undertakes to prove, and does ably
sustain the grand historical proposition
that sweet potatoes are the original
Vegetables which started the growth
of patriotism in America. He trium-
phantly cites the case of Gen. Francis
Marion, of South Carolina, one of the
great founders, pioneers and defenders
of liberty, and shows the effect which
sweet potatoes had on him He con-
tends that the patriotism produced by
the modern sweet potato is rs genuine
as it was in the days Of Marion, and
emphatically eXplodes the theory that
there is any gaseous deterioration
of the growth.
In reference to the circumstance Of
the unanimous absence OF the delin-
quents, he is equal to that too. That
sort of vote does not make him blue.
He reasons himself over the seeming /.
neglect to respond to his attectionate
oVertures. These delinqucnts are |
strong personal friends, and they are
only waiting for their subscriptions to
grow large enough to enable Jones to
become Opulent and easy when they
do pay up. If they should recklessly
rush forward and pay up now, the
are comparatively small and
Jones could manage to squandrr every
one of them before he invested in
United States bonds and in our opin-
ion he would be sure to do it, because
we know him to be the soul OF liber-
atty. If friend of his needs dol
lar Jones will lend it to him if he has
to borrow it from somebody else. The
lelinquents know this, and they per-
haps, intend to take care of Jones in
spite of him. After he luns the Adj
vance until he gets as old as the Vet
eran Of the Mercury, who started
cut on his journalistic career when
the morning stars began to sing,
ne will have an amount due him
worth talking about. Then when a
delinquent does happen to pay up he
Fan buy a bond and provide for his
Did age.
There is nothing like philosophy,
out it takes a good article of it to look
Jar enough ahead to see wealth from
he ever-acumulating claims for de-
inquent subscriptions. Jones, how
ever, has the gift, and therein lies the
beautiful serenity of his temper

THE long article of NJ. Marshall,
Esq, Chairman of the Executive
Committee of the 9Th District, reciting

SENATOR LAMAR.

senator Lamar, Of Mississippi. is in very
feeble health, and it j. regarded ~ posi-
BILE that he will never be able 10 leave hi

Senate.-Memphis Avalanche.
So far from the above being correct,
or in any way near correct, Senator
Lamar is not in feeble health" at all,
but in this regard is so improved since
the close Of the late canvass that he
will be better able to meet the arduous
duties Of his position during the pres
ent session than he has been for tina
last two years. Immediately on his
return from San Antonio, Texas,
which will be in a few days, Senator
Lamar will leave for Washington to
occupy his seat i'm the Senate, until
which time, as stated elsewhere,

THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

At the suggestion of the Governor
durng:the last session of the Legisla-
ture-a suggestion which propably he
would be glad to recall nOw-an Adj
VisOrV Committee was Amounted bV
the Democratic caucus to confer with
the Governor in relation to the advis-
ability CT calling the Legislature in
special session. Our usually accurate
contemporary Of the Vicksburg Com
mercial is in error in the statement
that the Legislature appointed this
committee. II was the work of the
Democratic caucus. The committee
consists Of the following distinguished
Democrats:
First District-David Johnson, J.
w. Buchanan and w. w. HUMPHREYS.
Second District-J. II. Dalton, G. b.
Howry and w. S. Featherston.
Third District-W. H. FitzGerafd,

Fourth District-A. NJ. Hicks, NJ

In the meeting here of the Commit
tee on Wednesday, there were present
Hon. Ben. King, Chairman, Hon.
j. McC. Martin, Hon. +. \. Mont
gomery, Hon. C. NJ. Howry, and Hon.
Frank McGee. No action was taken
because so few members were present,
except to meet, talk little, and adj
jOurn subject to the call Of the Chair
man. We learn that some difference
exists in the views of members who
were present, and the indication now
is that there will be no great pressure
on the Governor to call an cXtraordi-
nary session.

THE WHOLE SUBJECT IN A NUT.
SHELL.

An exchange says, "There is a con-
siderable interest taken in the Ques-
ton of calling an extra session of the
Legislature together this winter. 1t
is an off year in our destiny, and when
ever an eXigency like that comes
around our solOns should give the peo-
pie the benefit of their views on nation
al and international questions, and
modify existing relations 50 as to
make them conform to the logic OF
events. Gov. Stone will probably
consult the wishes of the people before
he concludes to call an extra session.

movement, and in the present con-
dition of affairs and the increasingly
threatening proximity of Jupiter and
other foreign powers we think il would

lature together fora few days at least"
All we have to say is, if the Gov
ernor can resist that he is Stone in

SUPREME JUDGE
To the Editor Of The Comet.

To the Editor Of The Conet.
1t is stated and generally believed
that a Judge will be appointed from
the second Supreme Court District to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the res
ignation of Judge George. In look
ing over the list of worth and emf
nent lawyers in that district land l
know them all personally or by repu-
tation) / can find no one more worthy
and better qualified for that impor-
tant office than Major Samuel H.
Ierrall, of Clarke County.
He is Il native of Jasper county, n
graduate of our State University and
for many years was District Attorney.
which Office he filled with signal
ability. He is in the prime and vigor
of life, with mind well disciplined,
acute and well balanced. His learn
ing in the law is more elementary
than topical and best of all, what he
knows he knows thoroughly and ac-
curately. He has great reverence for
the established rules and principles of
the law as a science, and if he were on
jIG DtlltIl NOulO ScGh W llllNl w IlilI Vic
law is rather than what it should be,
and decide accordingly, without re-
gard to hardships or consequences.
He would investigate every question
calmly and deliberately and bestOw
as much patient labor upon it as any
man, and his opinions would he clear
and exhaustive, supported by reason
and authority.
His habits are exemplary in every
respect and in private life, he is above
reprOach.
If devotion to the "Lost Cause" is
to be considered, let it be stated that
in the late war the South had no
truer or Drawer soldier than Mai. Ter
rail-. If political antecedents are to be
taken into consideration, let it be
known that he has been Il true and
consistent Democrat in sunshine and
in storm, and always ready TO "give
reason for the faith that is in him"
Knowing him to possess those neces-
sary qualifications, of ability, integri-
ty, learning, industry and sobriety,
respectfully suggest that our worthy
Governor satisfy himself as to Maj.
Terrall, and if he shall find him to be
the proper man, that he give him the
CITIZEN.

SOME years ago an enthusiastic
friend of the Brandon Republican got
away over to Colorado and wrote back
to ask Col. Frantz ifhe wanted some
thing To ''iill up' with, meaning news
and views for his paper, Of course, Col.
Frantz promptly replied Eyes; I do
want something to fill up on, and want
it bad. Send me a barrel of flour and
keg of beerW Lately, however, the
taste of the Col. goes out in the direc-
ton of fodder. He calls on his delin-
quents to ''come up" and if they
can't do any better bring fodder
enough to pay their subscriptions. 1t
is the first instance which has vet
come to our notice where an editor
deliberately made up his mind to try
the experiment Of living on fodder.
How he expects 10 print live paper
ON such dry food is something we
can't understand.
