Some people have never learned
how to behave in the House Of God.
They do not know any better. They
are good, clever people aud would
not be guilty Of breach Of etiquette
If they knew the rules to be observ-
ed. Il is unfortunate for any one
to be thrown out of his elements,
but we would rather commit thous'
and blunders IN the White House
than behave badly in the Church Of
God. Let all who read this para-
graph profit by the hint

So far as we have learned the sun

The series Of lessons at present is
interesting, and we hope that all the

FORFEITED LANDS,

payers and The destruction Of prop.
erty interests were cOnspicuously
disclosed by the wholesale condemn
nation Of lands in Lhe State.
in 1876, when the Democratic par.
ty came into power the lands forfeited
for taxes to the State amounted to
six millions Of acres.
This being equal to one fifth of the
entire area 0fthe State Of Mississippi
AT the present time, from estimates
furnished by the Auditors office, the
amount ofthese forfeited lands has
been reduced to three millions of
atres, and is being further rapidly
diminished by sales and redemptions.
II is said by some Of the opponents
Of the Democratic party that values
have decreased, as shown by the as.
sessments Of 1874 or 1876 and 1879.
If there has been an actual decrease
Of values, it is only another argu-
ment in favor of Democratic admin.
/ istration, as Notwithstanding that
fact, the rate Of taxation has been re-
duced.
There has not been during Demo
crstic rule in this State anything to
indicate that capital or property fears
a Democratic administration. or that
they have not had ample protection
II is a fact that foreign capital is
being invested in this State in lands
and railroad enterprises. And it is
very certain that this will not hC
checked by a continuation Of Demo
cratic administration.
