HOLLY SPRINGS, MISS.
Municipal Taxes-DIStressIDgA Accident
The New County Jail.


Regular Correspondence of the Appeal
HOLLY SPRINGS, December 2.-The ex-
element in the political world having SUBJ
sided, our people have again turned their
attention to business. During the past week
the city has presented quite an animated
appearance; a large amount OF cotton has
been brought in from the country, and our
merchants have been kept unusually busy.
We had slight snow, the first OF the season,
on Tuesday night, and The weather through
out the week has been quite cold.
Our new county jail, built by Messrs.
Crosby & Laudrum, of Paducah, is almost
completed. Though small building, il is
amply large enough for the requirements of
the county. 1t is strong, handsome and
safe structure, and reflects credit both upon
the Board of Supervisors and contractors. 1t
contains apartments for the jailor and his
family. The part containing the cells, six
of which are ready for use, is constructed Of
brick and iron, and is fre-proof. 1t is built
upon the modern plan, contains the latest
patents and improvements, and 1t Is claimed
that it is impossible for a prisoner TO escape
from it unless he possesses full outfit OF
blacksmiih's tools and is an expert in their
use.
The municipal taxes for the fiscal year of
1882 have been due since the LIST of July
last and ten per cent. additional tax will be
collected from all parties who have not paid
by January 1, 1888, distress warrants to be
| issued to enforce the payment thereof. BY
| the new city charter, section 19, street tax
| of 50 is due from all male inhabitants be-
tween the ages of eighteen and ffty-hve
years, and all delinquents will be required
| to work on the streets for ten days, and upon
refusal will be liable to arrest and punish
| ment for a misdemeanor. All who have
neglected TO pay their taxes had better come
| forward at once, as we learn that these laws
will e strictly enforced.
The Holly Springs Cooperative Associa-
ton will meet at Masonic Hall, this city, on
| Monday. December 4th, at 10 o'clock an,

tors ana other officers. A full attendance i

the afternoon of November 20lh, near Cock

little girl ten years of sge, and the eldest
daughter of the Rev. 7. w. Dye, presiding
elder of the Holly Springs district. Aliena
together with some playmates, were removing
some boards from an old potato house, wher

A Bright OatIook-rhe Contest for It's
Location.

Special to the Appeal
VIcKsBUEe, December 2.-The National
Cotton Planters Association, whose head
quarters are at this city, are daily receiving
congratulatory communications from all parts
of the country upon the happiness of the
conception and the bright outlook for the
proposed Cotton Centennial to be held in
1884. From present adyices it would seem
that the contest for its location will be mar
rowed down to New Orleans, Baltimore and
Cincinnati. Arrangements are being made
by the Planters Association TO put, as soon
as the location is decided, corps Of iufuen-
tial canvassers into every cotton State to OBJ
tain subscriptions and exhibits. Commits
sioners will be sent to New England and
Europe for the same purpose. From assu-

A TISSUE OF FALsEHOOD.
what Wayne MaeVeagh Says OF Dorssy's
Letter

NEW York, December O. The Hon.
Wayne MacVeagh this afternoon, in reply
10 an inquiry as to the charge of ex-senator
dorsey, mat the ex-sttorney-general had
violated confidence during his term of office,
said; IAN answer is not necessary. The
whole letter is tissue of falsehoods from
beginning to end, except the one solitary
tsct that l objected to any secret examina-
tion. Before | entered the Cabinet of Presi-
dent Garfield, Dorsey painted me in very
unfsvorsble colors- If ! was as bad IS he
represented, why did he come TO me, as he
says, and Intrust me with his confidential
business? Everything that was necessary to
be said on the subject of the Star-routes /
placed IN my letter to President Arthur, and
that Co sider a sufficient reply, as I then
explained everything. 1t is sufficient TO
know that Dorsey is under Indictment and

NEW MEMBERS RETIcENT ABOUT ExPREssIN
THEIR PREFERFNCFs


THEIR PREFERENCES.
WASHINGTON, December 2.-The oppo-
nents of Randall for Speaker say that the
fact that the incoming members are unwiIl-
ing to commit themselves TO any candidate
is not encouraging TO The prospects of Ran
dali, and it is certain that some Western and
Southern members who hitherto have been
counted among the most earnest supporters
of Randall now decline to commit them
selves. Senator Lamar has arrived, and ex-
presses himself with unreserved severity in
opposition TO the attempt to refuse a certif-
cate to Kellogg, of Louisiana. Lamar says
that such an act will hurt the Democratic
party very much, and that it should not be
done because it is a wrong thing to do. La
mar does not express himself, 80 far as can
be learned, upon the similar attempt to count
out Chalmers in mis- own State, but Lamar
is resident of the same county as Chalmers
and is personally inimical to him.

Why ADVERTISING PAYs.-A. E.
Burkbart, one of the most successful
business men of Cincinnati, in an ad.
dress delivered before the CONNER
cial club Of that city, said: Il have
cast my experience in Cincinnati, and
l am fully convinced that in fifteen
years, with the advertising I have
done, I've pushed my business to a
standing that it would have taken
thirty years to reach without adver-
Using. In truth, it is doubtful if I
could have at all attained the results
| have without the aid of newspapers.
Certainly the newspapers are the
cheapest medium for making your
trade known to the greatest number
of people. Printed circulars may
possibly reach q thousand persons
whose names you know, your old Gus
Toners. Your announcement in a
leading journal will reach hundred
Thousand whom you nevlr heard Of.
New dealers coming into the field
will see your name and business, and
know where to find you. Your stand

fication to buyers that you aresaliye

THE WARNING.

"Drink +! drink - cried the merry har
vest band;
To rustic, youth and 1.-the;
"Drink! brave lad, it will make thee
work
Drink! it will make thee blithe.
1t will make thee work with lions
strength,
And every stroke will tell;
1t will make thy sickle glide along,
AS moved by magic spell.
Gay, drink, and it will make thee
workr'
Said man with age bent low,
With trembling limbs and silvery locks
And deeply furrowed brow.
"Drink, my lad, it will make thee
l know right well it will;
1t hath made me work for three-score
years -
Alas it makes me still.
81 once had youth and strength like
thee;
I drank and wasted my prime
l laughed and quaffed in thoughtless
glee,
Nor needed the flight of time.
And still | drank, nor cared for age,
The woes that round it Turk,
| know them now, alas! too late
Strong drink hath made me work.
"Had l not drank the baneful draught,
For work | need not crave
In these my last declining days,
Nor fill pauper's grave;
| might have known the calm delight
Which smiles upon the good,
Nor now have felt the bitter pang
Of homeless solitude.
81 had three sons-all stalwart men
10 them strong drink l gave;
Beneath yon silent church-yard mound
Each fills "a drunkard's grave;
And there, too, lies my poor old wife,
Who bore an angels part
Her voice appealed to me in vain
/ broke her faithful heart.
cob! cast away that blighting drahght,
The DEVILS Turing snare!
The adder's sting, the serpent's bite,
And death are lurking there.
1t hath cursed my life-I curse it now,
Here with my dying breath"
The old man sank upon3the ground
His eyes were fixed in death.
The youth was struck; laid down the
cup,
The dangerous liquor given
Then breathed a vow, which angels
blest ;{
And sealed with Joy in Heaven.
