Correct.

The big Greenback paper published in
Chicago, called the American Sentry,
advises Mississippi Greenbackers to have
nothing to do with Kings ticket and
further remarks that the election of King
means only restoration OF the Republi-
can party in this State, and eternal death
to Greenbackism.-This is true, every
word of it, asall sensible men must admit,
and all patriotic men guard against it
as they would an unmeasured evil II
they have no desire to see the return OF
the Republicans to power in this State
it stands them in hand to watch things
with vigilant eyes. The triumph of the
Republican party in this State means
death to Greenbackism and the destruc-
ton OF all the material interests OF Mis-
sissippi as well.-It means spoliation and
robbery, ruined hopes and blasted ex-
pectations. 1t meanes nothing better
than calamity like that.-Yazoo City

The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1881-11-05

In our opinion the Hon. j J Williams,
of Grenada county, has disgraced him
self, and he certainly has if going back
on most solemn pledges, publicly made
before the Grenada county convention
and in the columns of the Sentinel of
that county, is a disgrace. He was a
candidate before the above convention
for the Legislature and pledged himself
to abide by its decision. The convention
nominated his opponent DR. VIM Nc
Swine, an able and suitable man. Col.
Williams was then employed by the pro-
prietor of the Sentinel to edit that paper
under the solemn assurance that he
would do what he could to secure the
election of DR.. McSwine, and he so
stated in a published card. A petition
was circulated and a few signatures pro-
cured thereto asking him to become an
Independent candidate for the office
for which he had contended and was
beaten before Democratic convention.
And the old gentleman being, we sup
pose in his dotage, consented-disregard-
ed his solemn pledges, for which he
should receive a most severe rebuke in
November next.-Yazoo City Sentinel.
You can just bet, Mr.. Sentinel, that
j J Williams will ge laid on the back
shelf mex Tuesday, never to rise again.

A Little Advice

One of the characteristics of an editor
is his good temper displayed while read
ing over innumerable communications
which constantly come to him Tor publ
cation, and which have to be revised
before any ordinary mortal can decipher
the meaning intended to be conveyed,
yet there are cases when patience ceases
to be a virtue, .
If those who write Tor papers would
take a little pains many errors would be
avoided and much unnecessary time
saved to both printer and editor, but
for fear some one will think we are
loosing our temper now we will give
some sarcastic advice in the language of
Mark Twain on this subject. He says:
"Don't write too plainly, it is sign of
plebeian origin. Scrawl your article
with your eyes shut, and make every
word as illegible as you can. Avoid all
painstaking with proper names. We
know the full name of every man, wo-
man and child in the United States,
and the merest hint at the same is suffi-
cient. For instance il you make char
acter somewhat like drunken figure
eight and then draw line, we know at
once that you mean Samuel Morrison
even though you think you may mean
Lemuel Messenger" How we do love
to get hold of articles written in this
style! And how we should like to get
hold of the man who sends them-.just

Blaine is sSsaying a great many good
words of the South just now. He told
an Augusta Chronicle man, the other
day, that the South had great future
ahead of it. He himselfhad a considera-
BILE amount of money in various South
ern enterprises, and he proposed to in
vest the remainder OF his fortune in the
South. The last conversation that Gar
field and he had, was in reference to the
complete reconciliation of the two Sec
tions. He, Blaine, thought that the
death of Garfield, and the universal grief
over it, had made common bond that
had settled the old bitterness between
the two sections forever. In, fine the
Senator from Maine spoke in the most
favorable and complimentary manner OF
the Southern States.-New Orleans DEM

1t was predicted after slave labor was
abolished that the culture of cotton would
be greatly diminished. The above status
tics show how wide OF the mark the pre-
na'iS not kept tpa pace with the increase Of Popu-
lation in the Southern States, but it has
increased largely, nevertheless. Before
the war most of the cotton crop was pro.
duced by negro labor. Now, u third OF
it is produced by whites, who tor the the
other departments OF labor, the learned
professions, mercantile pursuits, etc.
The number of bales consumed by the
Northern manufacturers is estimated at
1.735, 900, and $4,000 bales for Southern
mills. Within the past six years the
number Of spindles in the South has
nearly doubled. Within the next six
years, it is safe to predict, that the South
will manufacture 100000 of bales per
annum.-Clarion.

When lawyers fail to take fee,

When lawyers fail to take fee,
And juries never disagree,
When politicians are content,
And landlords don't collect their rent,
When parties smash all the machines,
And Boston folks give up their beans;
When naughty children all die young,
And girls are born without tongue ;
When ladies don't take time to hop
And office-holders never flop /;
When preachers cut their sermons short
And all folks to the church resort !;
When back subscribers have all paid,
And editors have fortunes made ;
Such happenings will sure pretend,
This world must soon come to an end.
