Death of Hon. A. e. Reynolds.

The Cerinth papers have announced
the death of Hon. y. E. Reynolds, of
that place More than forty years ago
he settled in the town Of Jacinto, fish
omingo county, for the practice Of law.
He represented his county, (then the
largest in the State) in both branches of
the Legislature. He commanded a reg
iment of infantry during the war, and
when peace came served as Chancellor
Of this District. He was a man of a
high order of intellect, and possess ed
many estimable qualities.
THE Brook haven Ledger announces
that the friends of Hon. B. F. Johns, of
Amite, contemplate bringing him for
ward for Attorney-General. And adds
that he is a lawyer of fine abiliti es, has
represented Amite and Lincoln counties
in the Legislature, and at the last .es-
sion was elected Speaker OF that body.
He had, at a previous term, been Chair
man of the Judiciary Committee,
position that will test lawyers skill.
Mr.. II. p. BEAMAS succeeds Mr.. L.
l.. Charles in publishing the Pass Chris
tian Beacon. If experience, integrity,
industry, and capacity will avail, the
Beacon will succeed under his manage
ment. And besides it will give forth
10 uncertain light The Seashore coun-
ties are well to do in the way of news
paper enterprises.

UNION COUNTY: Now comes Anderson
No. p. !, tho handsome $3.50 FOUNDER

never treated to 'spirits" man who
neither smokes or chews tobacco-the man
with sound mind, healthy body a clear
conscience, and record at the Audilors
office as bright and as clear as the MONDAY
SUM- But there is no necessity for saying
so many good things about Anderson No.

1Azoo COUNTY Geo. NJ Powell. ESQ.
the very efficient deputy for w. II. Stub

parenthesis, that the Auditor and all of his
assistants have mighty tender feeling for
collectors who are prompt with their paw.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY: One day last
week Mr.. V. c. Butt, with his efficient dep,
uty, Mr.. Gee,) made his first yi4it to the
Captains Office" to give account of his stew
ardship,as Collector, for the fiscal year. 1880
The papers were in most excellent condi-
ton, thereby causing no trouble and re-
quiring very little time to effect a most sat
Isfactory settlement. The quiet department
the modest manners and the unassuminp
style Of both these gentlemen completely
won the hearts Of the Auditor and all his
assistants We might say much more in
favor of these gentlemen, but it is wholly
unnecessary, as the settlement speaks for
itself Here it is: S404072 State tax 1880
credits $4395, entire balance collected.
Privileges collected and paid over 81, 92O. 90
liquor licenses 100000. Capt. Butts
name occupies a first class position on Capt.
Gwins books.

LAWRENCE COUNTY: In 1871 Capt.
W. II. Butler was elected Sheriff and Tax
Collector of Lawrence county, and like
Brame, of Jasper, Weathersby, of Simpson,
and Williams, Of Franklin, who were
elected at the same time, has held the Office
continuously ever since, and well aud most
faithfully has he discharged the duties
appertaining thereto. The "boys" in the
Auditors office all like "Capt Billy" and
are always glad to see his happy looking
face. His State Tax was S2,O73 70 and his
proper credits 1925 81. His privilege
account was 1870 90. and 5000 90 liquor
licenses. 1t is needless to say that the
Auditor has a very prominent white mark
opposite Capt. Buffers name.

Clipped coin, or quarters, dimes and nick
els with holes in them, seem to have sudden
ly gone out of circulation and disappeared
entirely The banks first, and then our
merchants, adopted the policy of refusing
them-in doing which they were perfectly
right-and the mutilated pieces. we are
glad to say, are no longer in the market
Columbus Index.
II the goldbugs could get in their work
while silver coins would disappear through
out the country as rapidly as the mutilated
pieces have from the Columbus market.

1t Is denied that Ex-senator Bruce, "of
Mississippi" has been offered the Brazilian
Mission We venture the assertion that
there is no Office in Mississippi within the

Bruce to return and live here where he

who made him what he is, after having as
ISOLATED so long with the grandee white folks

The Mississippi Cotton Crop.

"A correspondent of the Chicago 1ri-
bune gives gloomy picture Of affairs among
the cotton planters of the Mississippi Valley,
owing to the destruction of the crop still left
in the fields unpicked. He says:
From September to November rains fell
more than two.thirds of the days, causing a
suspension in the fields. With the advent OF
November came frosts, and then more rain ;
and from that time to the present there has
been succession Of rain and snow storms,
with freezes and thaws, that precluded any
outdoor work. From his own personal ob.
servation, he says the amount of cotton still
unpicked is estimated at 40 per cent, or
from 10000 to 100000 bales. These
facts have been kept concealed from the pub
lie from various motives. The merchant
who, in anticipation of large business, laid in
larger stocks of goods than usual, was fearful
of creating an alarm among his northern
creditors, and the planter concealed the fact
because he hoped all along that he would
yet be able to secure his crop, yet, with his
usual improvidence he has contracted debts
that he can not now hope to pay. A crash
is, therefore, anticipated among the merchants,
and the poor darkies who planted on shares
will find themselves deep in debt to the land.
owners.
