One and NIL Of these won the
need Of praise and applause which
their efforts merited, and tile au-
dience was delighted with the
evenings entertainment. The adj
dresses Of Coils. Reynolds and
Stands were models Of eloqucnce
and oratory, and the peerless
singing Of Miss Maggie Kidd,
whose melodious voice was as
clear as the tones of a silver bell,
drew forth the raptureus plaudits
of the audience. Mr.. Sims, also,
sang sweetly and admirably, and
was highly complimented.
On Thursday the Convention
met ut the courthouse for the
transaction Of business, an account
of which we cannot give here, as
we have not the minutes at hand.
The tedium Of alleged business
was relieved by the scholarly
memorial address of that polished
gentleman, Geo. Z. Herndon, of
the West Point News, and the
reading of a poem, 1.-The Torn
Boot" by Hon. G. ID. Stands,
written by Mrs. Sallie Ada Malone,
of CORTLAND, this county.
On Thursday night, the Aber-
deem Dancing Club gave a grand
ball at the Gordon House, in hon
or of the press, which delighted the
devotees OF Terpsichore, with It's
splendor and magniiicence, the
beauty and loneliness OF the ladies'
and the chivalry and gallantry Of
the gentlemen.
II is next in order to write of
Aberdeen and her peoples hber-
deem is situated in eastern Missi-
sippi, within a few miles of the
Alabama line, and the city proper,
has a population of $500, though
II the suburbs be included, the
number amounts to 5000, or more.
Among the public institutions of
the city are the branch railroad to
Muldon, built by the citizens of
Aberdeen : the new and fine hotel,
built by a joint stock company, at
a cost OF $52, 1000; The Fair Asso-
citation, which, though only two
years old, has its grounds hand
somely laid out and well supplied
with the necessary buildings the
four artesian wells, in the center
Of Commerce street, the waters of
contain iron, sulphur aud
other medicinal properties. We
sampled the water from these
wells and found each to be differ
cnt in taste and character from the
others. |,
