A. p. Barry for Lieutenant Governor

EDITORS CLARION: Copiah county i;
greatly rejoiced at the favorable reception
from all parts of the State of the candidacy
of her favorite son,
HON. A. P. BARRY,
for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
There are many reasons why We think
his nomination to that office would bring
strength to the cause in this canvass
among which are:
1st. He has been for sixteen years Grand
Treasurer of the Grand Lodge of Masons of
the State, and Treasurer of the Insurance
Company of Masons, having large sums in
hands for these Bodies, and has thus de-
monstrated his fidelity in great trusts, and
won the esteem, confidence and friendship
of hundreds of men of influence all over
the State.
ID. He is a prominent member of the
State Grange, through this source would be
a tower of strength in the contest
Sd. And last, he is worthy of any trust
a brilliant, brave and true Democrat.
thoroughly conversalt with parliamentary
law, and would make splendid presiding
officer of the Senate, and has performed
more service for the cause of Democracy
than almost any man known to the writer.
How magnanimous and graceful it would
be for the great north of the State, the hub
OF political power, to yield to south Missis-
ippi the observation-disclosures.
A T. Barry fills the full measure for the
Office A. VoTER.

Moss Point on the seashore.
Enterprise Courier.1

LnltTpfIse C0ufItf
Moss Point, in jackson county, this State,
shows more evidences of prosperity and i'm
provement than any town in the State. 1t
is improving very rapidly. a large number
of dwellings and business houses are now
being erected and there is a general air of
thrift and enterprise about the people and
the place. The lumber business is simply
immense, and there are other enterprises as
well, among the rest a glass mandatory
which will begin operations early in June.
At Scranton or East Rascapoula, there is
canning establishment in successful opera
ton, at which oysters, fish and fruits are
canned. Moss Point proper is about four
miles north of Scranton, but from present
appearances the space between the two
towns will be covered with dwelling houses
and there will be really one continuous city
from the seashore a distance of FIVE miles
inland
