THE GUINEA BULL OF sARDIs.
If the guinea bull of Sardis, late of the
Shoestring, undertakes to butt the Lamar
train eff the bridge he'll get wrecked"
The case is SO hopeless that we can't even
admire his courage, much less his discretion.
Ripley Sentinel.
Chalmers is rapidly making reputation
as the champion letter writer; Hewitt says
he didn't tell the truth; Colonel Hodges says
he was an imbecile in war and is an imbecile
in peace. Poor little BunnyI The decent
men of the country now having no respect
for him, he is compelled to associate with
such "blatherskites" as Wimberly. "How

THE INDEPENDENTS.
The Independents as a political party
are without purpose-made up of disap-
pointed men and defeated aspirants, and are
the rendezvous of broken down demsgogues
the hiding place of entrapped Star
reuters, and the drill camp of deserters from
all rarties; the mere cast off garments OF
every political shade. Fusion is the life
charm of such a party of mongrelism and
malignity, ard all its elements are the out
cropping of hates and MISUNDERSTANDING

CHALMERs's EXPLANATION.
General James +. Chalmers has selected
Sardis for his hovue in future, and has thence
sent out another letter telling why he will
oppose the Democratic party and run for
Congress as an Independent. "If / go 10
Congress again." he says, 81 wish to go with
an undisputed title from district having
majority of white voters. 1t is said l am
helping TO put Republicans in power. As l
understand it, the Republicans will help to
put me in power. If there is anything wrong
in my receiving such help it does not become
the Lamar Democracy to complain of it. l
cannot prove it, but believe the friends OF
Mr.. Lamar made combination with Lynch
when he was contestins my seat, and when it
was feared that Major Barksdale would carry
the white counties Tor senator. If Mr.. Lamar
could accept the aid of Mr.. Lynch and be
sustained, feel safe in accepting the aid of
Mr.. Secretary Chandler" y Port Gibson

1T Is POSSIBLE.
Is it possible that Chalmers has the cheek
to run against the Hon. Van H. Manning in
this district for Congress. He surely has the
cheek of canal mule, and a white mule at
that. He could not, in our opinion, be
elected coroner and ranger. He has had his
day, the Shoestring is broken, let it stay so.
