Vast quarries of beautiful white stone
have recently been discovered near Knox
vile, Tenn, which is pronounced by COM
petent persons to be superior in quality to
anything Of the kind found elsewhere in the
United States, and which approaches very
nearly to Italian marble, so extensively i'm
ported into this country. The United States
government is now working, most success
fully, quarry of this stone, the discovery
efwhich it is thought will soon open up a
most important industry in that singularly
favored but as yet almost unknown section.

A CONTEST.

In the eth Senatorial District there
will likely be a contest between Hon.
V. B. Waddall of Tunica, the Senator
elected at the late election and Hon.
j. B. Perkins, who was one OF the
Senators representing said District mt
the last session of the Legislature, his
colleague being the Hon. ]. P. Walker
of Desoto.
Somtime last spring Mr.. Perkins
moved from Tunica county, where
he then resided, to Memphis. a pc
tition signed as we heard by nearly all
of the prominent citizens OF Tanica
was presented TO his Excellency, GsNN
ernor Stone, requesting him to declare
Senator Perkins seat vacant and or
der an election, which he did, with
the result above stated. Senator Per-
kins has written letter in which he
denies that he has given up his citi-
zenship In Tunica county and states
that he will expect to take his seat ON
the assembling of the Senate in JAM
uary. II is n matter for the Senate to
determine whether Mr.. Perkins or
Mr.. Waddall is Senator from the 9th
District. ,.rr.. b.

listening to the reading Of Mrs. Cat

was reclining backward In his chair,
when an explosion took place. Mrs.

was not the case. All this time Catlin
had not changed position, and when

The projected Mississippi valley
railroad enterprise is being pushed for.
ward with considerable vigor, and II
seems now as If it were only ques.
ton of time when the rich parishes
near the river In Louisiana will be Gu
HANGED in value tenfold by having
ton of their products. The route Sc
lected for this road through Louisiana
is most excellent one, and promises
n paying business equal to that Of any
railroad in the South.
The northern terminus suggested
has been ut Arkansas City, on the
Mississippi river, some forty-flve
miles above Greenville, Mississippi.
/ In o conversation yesterday with Mr..
II. +. Craig Of Chicot county, Arkan-
sas, he gave many reasons why the
company might find it more profit
able 10 make their northern terminus
at Leland, point nearly opposite 10
Greenville. The Georgia Pacific is
now constructing their road, which
will strike the river at this point, and
Mr.. G. p Huntington, the energetic
protector and builder of several rail-
roads in that section of Mississippi in
the vicinity of Greenville, has con-
traeted to build road from Leland to
Bowie's station, on the Little Rock,
Mississippi d Texas railroad. This
will place Leland in connection with
the Eastern system by the Georgia
Pacific, and with the Northwestern
system by the L. r. NJ. r. & Texas
road, already completed TO Arkansas
City. rI.r .H
II the Mississippi Valley Company
should strike the river at Leland, they
would not only have the same connec-
tions which they would make at Ar
kansas City, but they would also save
the construction of some eighteen or
twenty miles of road through q low,
deep swamp. The route through Ar
kansas to Leland, Mr.. Craig informs
us, is over high country, nearly all
of which IL In high state of cultiva-
ton, and Is among the most product
i've lands in the State.
We think the object of the visit Of
Mr.. Craig 10 this cif7 Is to impress
upon the directory Of the M. v. Rail-
road Company the many advantages
of terminating their road at Leland
instead Of Arkansas City. He thinks
the difference in the cost of construc-
ton, the splendid character Of the
country through which the road
would pass, and the fact that IL would
by this more economic route have the
same connections which they are now
seeking, will be strong inducement
for the directory TO Investigate the
route proposed by him. 4

YAzOO CITY, MISS, Oct. Is, 1881. }
For the past two months 1 have
been using my best endeavOrs-as
stated in last weeks issue of the
Yazoo City Herald--to secure liberal

this Association to the Atlanta Ex-
position. My efforts have beeh crown

Certificate Of membership, signed
by the President of this Association.
The lines of railroads from Chattan-
ooga to Atlanta will issue passes to
each member at Chattanooga, good to

The Senator'S Visiting Card.

The mystic letters written OH cards
are a source of bewilderment TO the
Congressman from rural districts, who
cannot decipher their meaning. Once
that stalwart Kentuckian, Senator
McCreery, met foppish young con-
stituent, who had just returned from
Paris, and said to him: 81 received
your card the other day. / recognized
your fathers name, which is the same
as yours, and supposed that it was his
son but what did the letters E. p,
written in-the corner mean ?'
".Why, Mr.. Senator" replied the
Travelled man, ait is customary in
Paris to write the initials OF certain
words on leaving cards. For example
had been going away, should have
written p. Z. c., the initials of Pour
lrende cOag-tO take leave. AS ii
was, calling myself, l wrote Il. p, the
initials Of en- perSOn'ae- person"
"0h % said McCreery, under
stand"
A week or 80 afterward the two met
again and the young man said "Sen-
ator, / received your card, but don't
comprehend what the letters 8. B. A.
n. in the corner meant. Pray interpret
them"
"With pleasure" said McCreery,
his eyes twinkling with humor. IS.
B. A. N, are the initials of Sent BY u
Niger.
The young man tried to laugh, but
really couldn't see the point of the in
scription. Others did.

Yazoo City Herald.
Col. John II. Powell, in q difficulty
between young man named Jas
Robinson and himself, shot and killed
the latter on Monday morning last.
The scene of this homicide was the
Daybreak plantation, belonging to
Col. Powell, and lying just over the
Yazoo line in Washington county.
The deceased Robinson had been do
ing business for Col. Powell, and the
ter between them.
After killing the subject of this
mention, Col. P. fired at a brother OF
the deceased, who was with him when
the difficulty first commenced, wound
ing him slightly.
Col. p. Is man OF large means, and
one of fine intelligence. He is fire.
quently called the "Dhke OF Birming-
hamr by the newspapers, styled so
from the fact that he owned the land on
which that town was built, and thou
sands Of the broad acres surrounding
1t at one time In his career. He still
owns property In Birmingham,
Alabama, and of q valuable charac-
ter.
AS Col. Powell is now under arrest,
and is TO have his trial soon, we will
not undertake to give any Of the facts
In the case, fearing we might not state
them just as they occurred. We wish
10 do no man an injustice.
Since the above was written, we
have received a note from Mr.. Z. II.
Bowles stating that Mr.. Loggins
was an accessory to the killing allud-
ed to, and that much indignation is
felt towards him, aud that If caught
he viii probably be lynched. Parties
are now in search OF him.
Mr.. Robinson leaves three sisters
and brother to mourn his loss, and
his death is universally lamented in
the neighborhood, as he had the re-
spect and confidence Of all who knew
him. A very sad affair all around. =

Ahnnd N Weekly.


What, after our recent triumphant
victory should the Democratic party
do to commend itself to future popu-
lar approval We have absolute con
troll of every department of the State
government, and we are responsible ID
for the results. The State is free fro N
debt, she has money in her treasury
and taxation is almost nominal. We
cannot escape the exigencies which
our victory has imposed upon us.
There Is no excuse; We must endeavor
to build up Mississippi, We must adj
vance her on the highway of pros
perity or we must surrender her dcs-
tiny to others-others who are wiser
qnS more progressive than the Demo
Grltls party is, If such can be found,
Or we must organize a party OF pro-
| gress.
The past record OF the party is full
OF glories and achievements. We
have re-established law and order, we
harmonized the races, alionated from
each other by designing partisans, we
have discharged the pecuniary obliga-
tions which We inherited from the cor
rupt and extravagant party to which
we succeeded, we have established
schools everywhere, and give the
benefits of free education to all, we
have freedom of speech, freedom of
mind, freedom of thought, equal JUS
tice to all and full and complete pro-
lection to "life, liberty and property.o
These ends are accomplished, and
in any particular wherein there may
be defects, time will supply and
remedy. We must now, move forward
on the plane of propress, and ero an
other election comes, in which we are
to be brought before the bar of public
opinion, we must show other achieve
ments, which meet the demands Of
our people. There is too much timid
craftsmanship in Mlssissippi-a dis
position to permit affairs to drift aud
adjust themselves, instead of daring
into the current and righting matters
by bold and decisive strokes. We
have feared to raise commotion in
the placidly gliding waters, lest the
surging pillows might shatter or send
ashore our own craft. We haye hes
itated to present questions of State
policy, and to devise schemes for in
dividual and State welfare, fearing
that we might divide the party, and
loose the spoils OF office. The party
can now stand the shock and conflict,
and if 1t be wisely given and judici-
ously made, survive Il all.
The people expect something bold
and progressive from our newly elect
ed officers. They expect that they
shall do something more that draw
their salaries. They expect them to
devise the ways and means to make
our State rich and prosperous that
we shall have boom
We believe that they will come up
to the public demand, and they will
be wise and progressive.
