GRENADA. MISS, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER l6. 1882

The war cloud that arose at the frst
meeting Of Chalmers and Manning has
happily passed away, and left these men
of renown to pursue in future that mode
of discussion which both know SO we'll
how to utilize and dignity. II indiscreet
friends will keep their "hands off and
let them alone, and not present express
sions not intended for Insult, into chal-
lenges Of antipathy and for degradation,
we have confidence to believe that these
two brainy well disciplined forensic tac-
ticians will close their discussion upon
principles Of intelligent debate with mu-
t,lal respect enlarged andsolidified. Each
is free man in free country, and OF
course each has rights that the other i
bound to respect, and just on this line the
battle should be fought and won without
the aid Of uproarious interlopers, whose
aim is disturbance Whose end is blood.
We are for Manning first, last and all the
time, and we have every reason to be-
lieve that the honor, progress and safety
of the Democratic party in his hands
will never suffer invasion much less
defeat.

The matrimonial speculation in Gre
NADIA overshadows all other interests
The South Sea bubble, the John Laws
speculation that run London and Paris
mad many years ago, are not n circum-
stance to the marriage guilds. Marriage
on the brain is a regular epidemic, and
married folks have got it as well as sin
gle ones Money flows in and out like a
back-action current. Everybody engaged
is making money, and atlast despite the
investigations of the old philosophers,
the patient enquiries of the Alchemists of
the middle ages the long and arduous
pursuit of Ponce De Leon after the foun-
tain of perpetual youth, the alchimy Of
life has been discovered in these nlarri-
age associations. Grenada, that will
not raise money enough to plank street
has seven Of these tubmills grinding out
fortunes every hour in the day, and
through the long dreary nights, and thus
excitement runs high, not only in Gre
NADIA, but all over the State and many
other places of the South. This mania
for money at a venture is not confined to
"the boys" only, but the Christian
church in some of her leading lights
even preachers, class leaders, descons,
and the most upright young men are
suffering under tile terrible pressure OF
filthy lucre When money is in sight,
the wild ones," as they are familiarly
called by the moral critic, are not the
only ones that loose equilibrium. 1t is
a stormy time in speculation, and while
we are trying to guard our own little
bark on this fretful sea, we would signal
every other captain to look out for break.

PROVIDENCE, Sept. Sd, 1882.

Editor Sentinel :-Providenc fourishes
good crops, especially corn and potatoes
The darkey and his inevitable dog are
growing fat on bread, made of new corn,
and the big red 'tatoes. The indubitable
fellow basks in the burning rays of the
meridian sun and snores away, dreaming
the while of the city with golden streets
and the happy days that he will enjoy
while his corn lasts, and the sweat glides
quietly off his nose and drops with ease
and alacrity on his well-rounded chin,
thence to his clothes, where it is ab-
sorbed; the blue-bottle buzzes lazily
around his face and occasionally dips
into his wide open mouth and warly
steals a crumb left from the moons re-
past; he still remains oblivious to all
surroundings, and snores on with that
enjoyment known only to the full stom-
ach. Such is the pleasing prospect that
even the old residenter. smiles with sat
isfaction as he scans the corn-felds
loaded with the bread OF life temporal
No dollar corn for this county another
year. Cotton doing finely; well loaded
with bolls, good crop OF which is al
ready matured. The outlook generally
was never better at this season OF the
year.
While the Master has benevolently
blessed our temporal efforts and crowned
them with success, He has not refused to
break the bread of life eternal to many
hungry souls who have besought that
their names be enrolled on the Lambs
Book of Lite and their arms FURNISHED
for battle under the ensign of King
Emanuel against the power OF the evil
one. A protracted meeting at Provi-
dence, continuing for ten days, resulted
in some twenty conversions and acces-
sions, while many whose love had wuxed
cold were reclaimed and again started ON
that glorious road homeward.
There is a Grange just organized with
nearly forty members; have just COM
pleted the Grange Hall. Petitions for
membership are presenteda every meet
ing. We have decided that ii there is
any good in the Grange we want to be
the benefciaries, if there is none we
want to find it out and quit the business.
We argue that great things will yet be
accomplished by the united efforts OF
the farmers of this country.
You see that pecuniarily and morally
we are well nigh on the high road OF
prosperity. Politically, however, such
is not exactly the case. ! greatly fear
that some Of the Providence Democra s
have fallen from grace, while others have
grown lukewarm.
! think that II protlacted political
meeting, Democratic of course) with II Q
proper expounders of the faith might
accomplish some good.
/ have now before me an address to
the voters Of this district from u Walthall
nspirant TO Congressional honors |
can't learn flom the address what his
political procliyities are, however, he
proposes to defeat the regular Democrat
nominee which is sufficient evidence
that he is not Democrat, therefore, all
sound headed, thinking Democrats,
whetherin Walthall or Grenada will give
him emphatically the 80 by.
Health in this community is good.
Peace and prosl Gritty abound.

would be wiser and better citizens in re-
turning to their old homes, where they
