Mrs. R.becca E.tie Dupree,

From the Baton Rouge Advocate
we learn that this most estimable
lady died in that city on the end inst.
Mrs. Dupree was born and raised in
this city ard was forty one years OF
age. Her maiden name was Tolbert,
and was an only sister of Mr.. Charles
Tolbert, well known to everybody in
Jackson. She leaves devoted hus-
band and daughter, and large circle
of friends to mourn her loss. During
the war she was married TO DIR. J. w.
Dupree, a surgeon in the Confederate
army and at its close removed to Lou
isiana. In common with her many
friends In Jackson we tender to her
sorrowing husband and daughter and
bereaved brother our most sincere
coincidence.

The Murderer Lodged I'm Jackso

The Murderer Lodged In jackson
Last Wednesday, at 0:lO A. NJ, II
COMET reporter was admitted to the
Jail where the prisoner, Joe Thomas IL
confined. Immediately after entering
the room of that dismal place, man
of ordinary stature was presented to
US as Mr.. Joe Thomas, the man who
is supposed to have killed Mr.. Chas.
Murphy, LATE editor of the Rolling
Fork Advance. Thomas is man of
about twenty-five years of age, and
confesses TO have killed Murphy, but
says he had sufficient cause for doing so
which he is not prepared to state until
the proper time. He also stated that
he did not apprehend any danger
whatever; that he had clear con-
science an fficient cause for doing
what he did!DThis, of course, is his
side of the matter, and being wholly
ignorant of the circumstances, we de-
fer our opinion to some future time,
when the case will be further develop
ed. The prisoner Is still In the jack
son Jail, and how long he will remain
there we are unable to say. This, how
ever, we do know, that if the killing
was as cold blooded as previously stat
ed, the prisoner should suffer the con-
sequences.

We call our readers attention To th,
advertisement of Mrs. b. p. Mitchell
In this weeks issue. This lady Is al
ready well-known, not only In
Jackson, but throughout the South
for the number of stylish outfits sent
forth from her establishment. We
advise all of our lady friends who de.
sire a fall or winter outfit, cheaper
than can be gotten at home, to send ia
Mrs. Mitchell, and we can safely
guarantee them perfect satisfaction.
The Democratic Central Club met
In the Senate Chamber in Jackson, on
Tuesday night, the 9th inst, for re-
organization. DIR. .Robt. Kells was
chosen President by reclamation.
Messrs Jno. Mcdonnell and John A.
Webb Vice Presidents. Mr.. l.. F.
Chiles, Secretary. Mr.. c. F. Heming-
way. Treasurer. Johnston Sproule,
Sergeant-at-arms.
Seventy-five names were enrolled
before the officers were elected, and
enrollments continued throughout the
meeting, which lasted about an hour.
The President was authorized to ap-
point an Executive Committee of
seven during the recess of the Club.
The Club fixed the place of future
meetings at the Circuit Court room in
the City Hall, and its regular meet
ings to take place on every Wednes
day night after the 2sth September,
until after election day.
Messrs. Frank Johnston, Oliver
Clifton, James Shelton, and J. L.
Power, were called on and responded
briefly in the order named.
The purposes of the organization
were forcibly impressed upon all pres
ent and clearly outlined by the speak
ers severally. They said the Club was
organized to carry the November cleo
ton in Jackson and in Kinds county
for the Democrats. To cooperate
with other Clubs and all persons labor
ing for the Democratic cause. To en-
roll and enlist all who were friendly
to its success in the coming election,
and register the enemy at his full
strength before election day, as well as
all neutrals, in order that they may be
remembered in the day Of their defeat.
They showed that formidable and
INSCRIPTIONS opposition was to be
met, and gave earnest of their deter
mination to meet 1t and defeat it.
The Executive committee will pro-
vide able speakers to address the club
at its next meeting, and there will be
a grand rally.
AS we walked down the street after
the Club adjourned, we heard num-
bers of men asking to have their
names enrolled, and censurlng their
friends who were present for falling to
enroll them.
Central Club means business, and
every man who desires il can have his
name enrolled if he means to help in
out its purposes. Let no one
delay about putting himself in the
ranks for it is all-important to know
at the earliest possible moment what
working force we have. Let us have
"a strong pull and pull altogether"
and victory Is ours.

A Ministerial statement

Rev. G. A. Harvey, d. D., is the popular
financial Secretary Of Howard University
and is specially fitted to judge of merit and
demerit. In u recent letter from Washing
ton to Il friend he said ~ have for two
years past been acquainted with the RENE.
dy known as Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure, and with its remarkable cur
alive efficiency in obstinate and so called
incurable cases of Bright's disease in this
city. In some of these cases, which SEEM
cd to be in the last stages, and which had
been given up by practitioners of both
schools, the speedy change wrought by
this remedy seemed but little less than
miraculous. | am convinced that for
Bright's Disease in all its stages, including
the first symptoms, which seem so slight
but are SO dangerous, no remedy heretofore
discovered can be held for one moment in
comparison with this.n

The Negroes Sentiment Entertain
For James A. Garfield.

To the Editor Of The ComN
The sad calamity that has befallen
our country and drapes the land in
mourning produces bereavement in
every negro's heart. The respect the
colored men of this Country entertain
ed for our lamented President Is of
the highest order. He was the en-
bodinent Of the liberal sentiment
which found Its way to every breast.
When in the very beginning Of his
career of usefulness to his generation :
when he who had climbed from the
lowest round of the ladder, TO the pin
nacle and had just surveyed the field
of operation. The eternal fitness Of
things had armed him with a pure
Damascus blade which he knew full
well how to WELD, but the assassin's
bullet cuts the tree Of liberty down,
yet the roots thereof are deeply i'm
bedded In the land. Still the seeds Of
liberty will grow with greater abund-
ance TO bless the nation. He was an
Abraham indeed A peace-maker
between sections. He was the noblest
type of American Craftsmanship, in
virtue and morality. His name will
be honored and revered In history,
and In the hearts az his countrymen
and burn upon the many christian
affairs increasingly as the fires OF
Rome called eternal, forever replen-
ished, which shall ever be coextensive
with our institutions. Let his ex-
ample be initiated by our future rulers
In forbearapce and christian fortitude:
and let even-handed justice be dealt
out to all sections, Dationalities and
peoples. The fact Is our martyred
President Is not dead but he lives in
the heart Of every American. The
fittest statue that could be reared, to
be seen by all people, in honor Of him.
Let the forthcoming Congress Of these
United States make the 28th day Of
each successive year day |
Of religious observance. to let his
name be heralded as food for the ora
tor and Statesman as one Of the iich-
est fields Of thought for the bard and
poet; as. the man who baptized the
country In tears and bo=nd East aud
West, North aud South and every
Denomination Of christians together,

great man and Prince this day has

The Republican last week asked
"what had become of Mr.. T. G. Catch
ings." We reprint our notice of his
return for its information and will add
that Mr.. Catchings challenged his OPP
ponant to joint discussion, separate
and apart from other candidates, that
he might have full time for discussion
without firing his audiences or infring-
ing upon the time Of another. But,
he was given to understand that he
could not get a joint discussion with
his opponant unless he would follow
General Fitzgerald to the appoint
ments of General Lowry and Col.
King, and we are informed that he
has gone to those appointments, as
the only means of obtaining a tilt
with his man.
From the Comet Of Sept. 2ith 1881.
Attorney General Catchings has re-
turned from st. Louis, where he has
been since the opening of the canvass,
TO comfort his afflicted wife, who has
been undergoing treatment there and
still remains on that account. A friend
of the General informs us that Mrs.
Catchings has been greatly improved
during the last week, and that the
General left for Jackson as soon as he
thought he could leave her without
detriment to her health. The General
will now engage In the canvass. He
has asked the Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee to arrange joint APP
pointments for himself and General
The General wants a
chance to "dance to his own partner"
now, and proposes to "tote his own
skillet" But, if he lets his opponent
whip him, he will "tote" all the skill
lets and pay all the expenses. If the
canvass should take the shape of a
grand tournament, General Catchings
will shiver lance with any or all
knights who champion the cause Of
the King who bears "desdichadO'
upon his shield and looks to the
"Btdck Knight" for success.

The funeral of the late President Jas
A. Garfield, took place at Cleveland
Ohio, on the Goth inst. That was a
day set apart for the whole people to
join in paying respect to the memory
of the deceased. In our city services
were had at every church. All bust
ness was suspended, and business
houses closed. Mourning decorations
were seen on every street-upon the
doors of private dwellings and bust
ness houses. The national flags hung
at half-mast, bearing their proper
tokens of the nations sorrow.
A public meeting was held during
the afternoon in the Hall of the House
of Representatives., which was so
crowded that hundreds were unable
to enter. We were unable to see or
hear all that took place. We were
able, however, to see that all classes
of our people were there, and that
there was an unusual seriousness that
marked every face. We overheard
negro woman say that she had heard
something was to take place there, and
that it was concerning the burial of
President Garfield. She did not know
what it would be, but she had heard
that everybody was to go, "and before
God / would believe everybody was Ia
there If / didn't see SO many folks out
side that can't get in ! And can't get
in nuther, but Pm glad I come, any
how, for feel better.r
We heard parts of the discourses OF
Gems. Geo. G. Mckee and Thos. j.
Wharton, but were so iar away, and
so pressed by the crowd, that we lost
the thread of both. Gen. Mckee
spoke earnestly and feelingly. Gen.
Wharton spoke rapidly and earnestly,
but we caught only one idea from him
and that was that he recognized in
President Garfield second father Of
the country. There were those pres
ent who did not participate fully In
General Wharton's sentiment In this
regard But, while they were unable
TO see that the Presidsnt's death or
the despicable assault that produced
IL, entitled his memory TO be washed
of its Objectionable features, yet they
did feel that the occasion was one for
deep thought.
We could read in the minds Of that
gathering that the real cause for the
blow that the Chief Executive Officer
Of this great nation, shall be ascertain
ed and that II shall be removed. What
shall be done to remove from the sem
liments of a large proportion Of our
people that spirit Of agrarianism,
which would drag down him to whom
power has been delegated by the ma
jorIty and that would throw all prop
erty into hodge-podge for distribution
among the provident and improyident
alike: that spirit, which recognizes
no vested right; that, which would |
