Tom Jones, of Louisville, Miss,
was shot and killed by +. L. Jones, a
photographer of the same place, last
Monday evening. From a private
letter from DIR. G. Y. Woodward, of
Louisville, to his son Frank Wood
ward of this place, we gather the cir
cumstances of the killing as follows
The difficulty originated about some
conversations b fegafd-to q young Ia
dy, Tom Jones having said that F.
L. Jones had made certain remarks
in regard to Ale young lady, which
F. L. Jones denied. When brought
face to face, Tom still maintained
that F. L. Jones had made the re-
marks he had attributed to him,
wherehpon F. L. Jones drew his pis-
toll and fred upon him Immediately.
The shooting occurred in front of DR..
Woodward's store. From his letter
we extract the following. s
Jones shot Tom five times, and
every shot hit him. The two first
shots were in front, and Tom fell,
when Jones shot him three times,
two in the head and one in the arm.

Incompetent Teachers.

Gen. Smith, State Suporinten dent
ofEdncation, has issued q very sem
sible circular to County Superin-
tendents, which, il needed, would
add much to the free school system
Of this State. We copy from it the
followsing. .,.,es
The county Superintendent is re-
sponsiblc for the shortcomings of
his teachers, as they cannot teach
without certificate of qualification
from him. Bud teaching is worse
than no teaching at all. It is there
fore urged upon you to be circum-
spect in the issuance of certificates
to teachers. Because an applicant
does not come up to the standard of
a first or second grade teacher, do
not give him third grade certifi-
cate, simply in order that he may
teach. The recommends ton of
local trustees is not always safe
guide in this matter. To elevate the
system, the standard Of our teachers
must be raised. Reduce as far as
practicable, in conformity with law,
the number ofyour schools, as there
by you will be able to pay good teach
ers better wages and continue the
term longer.

Maj. E.sBarksdale.

The friends of this distinguished
gentleman are earnestly advocating
him for Congress. One county has
instructed its delegates to the Dis
trict Convention to vote for his
nomination, and there is a decided
sentiment in'his favor, we learn, in
every county in this district. Maj.
Barksdale has not declared himself
a candidate. but 1T is understood
that should the nomination be ten
dered him, he would not decline it.
He has always been willing to serve
when his people called. He has
made many warm and arduous cam
paigns for them, and victory has
often crowned his efforts. He is one
of the few men in this State the
Democratic party has failed to re-
ward for his work. No man has
done more for the party than Maj.
Barksdale-few have done as much
and no one has received less. The
party is largely in his debt, and
would be should it nominate him by
reclamation and send him to Con-
gross by majority of ten thousand.
AS the district now stands it has
a Republican majority, if we are to
reckon the negro vote as Republi-
can. The Democrats can easily over
come the Republican majority if
they nominate bold, aggressive,
able candidate-one who will make
a thorough canvass and "carry the
war into Africa" The party has
several such men, but no one would
carry the coIors more proudly aloft
than Maj. Barksdale. Ifnominated
he will lead the ticket to victory.

An Old Landmark Gone.

now being torn down. Sunday last
DR.. G, B. Galloway preached the
farewell sermon in it, and read a

The Fight Commenced.

The war cloud bursted on Egypt,
Tuesday morning, July 18th. Sey-I
mour, the English Admiral, COM
menced the bombardment of Alex
audria that day at seven o'clock. He
opened fire because Arab Bey, the
Egyptian Minister of War, refused
to deslst in his warlike preparations.
Now that the fight has commenced,
it is not improbable that most of the,
larger powers Of Europe may become
involved, as heretofore England has
been held in check by France, France
by Germany, Germany by Russia,
Russia by Turkey, Turkey by her
Mussulman relations. The origin
of the trouble is not generally un-
derstood. The New Orleans Times
Democrat sums up the cause of the
fight in a few words:
Egypt is "a dependency of Turkey
and as such forms part and parcel
ofthe Ottoman Empire. To both
Great Britain and France the EN-.
pire is almost hopelessly in debt.
To secure part of this indebtedness
it was mutually agreed that an
Anglo French commission should
take in charge the finances of Egypt
and after deducting therefrom SIS,
100000 annually-$3,750,OOO of
which for Great Britain, the balance
for France-should turn the surplus
over to the national need. <The
presence of the British and French
comptrollers, as well as of the scores
Of their compatriots who have in
some way or another worked them
selves into positions Of prominence
in Egypt, has increased the innate
hatred for the Christian by the Mos,
lem to frenzy which eliminated
in the late rioting at Cairo and Al
exandria. Arab Bey, Minister of
War, is the public embodiment OF
the popular feeling, and is doing
his utmost to free his county from
all connection with the Christian.
The Sultan and his agent in Egypt,
the Khedive, are, however, so COM
pletely under the control of their
creditors as to make it very difficult
for them to act in accordance with
Arab. Hence another feature of
the difficulty. Europe is steadfast
in her demands for order, and secur
ity to the Christian of life and pro-
perty in Egypt. These demands
will be enforced"

The Courthouse In Ruins.

Last Saturday morning, July LIST,
between the hours of 3 and A o'clock,
the citizens of our town were awak-
ened from their slumbers by the
alarm of fire, and they witnessed the
sad spectacle of the Courthouse
sinking to ruins and ashes, by the
dcvouring flame. The first parties
who reached the scene Of the confa-
grafton, report that the hall doors
leading into the offices on the first
floor were all open, and that the
floor and door facings were envelop-
ed in flames. 1t appears that the
fire was first discovered in the hall
and east rooms of the building, and
some of the parties who first reached
the burning building raised a win
dow on the west side Of the Court
house, thinking possibly that some
thing might be saved; but as soon
as the window was raised the smoke
rushed through the opening in such
volume that no one could enter
The flames spread rapidly, and soon
communicated to the upper story,
from thence to the dome, and the
lurid flames assembled to great
height; the current of large sparks
passed over the business part Of
town, and much uneasiness was
felt, but thanks to the calmness of
the morning, no other fire occurred.
In comparatively short space of
time, the Courthouse was in smould-
ering ruins. The records of this
county, which dated as far back as
1872, up to the date of the fire, were
all lost. The documents and papers
were all loss. Not thing was say
ed. The Assessors roll, also, which
necessitates another assessment.
The registration books were lost,
which will make general registra-
ton necessary before next election.
The loss of the building is nothing
to compare with the loss of the re-
cords. The great Inconvenience
hereafter, of establishing titles to
property, is inconceivable. A great
many persons not only lost the re-
cords of their titles, but having left
their deeds in tile Courthouse lost
them also. Bonds of all kinds have
been destroyed. Mortgages. d els
in trusts, all have vanished, and
nothing left. 1t was undoubtedly
the work of an incendiary.-Mog

the paper till recently, when he re-
tired. L. B. Goshorn then publish
ed an article rejecting on him. He
called on .Goshorn for a retraction.
Failing to get it he fired four shots
at Goshorn, but without effect.
Goshorn in return fired five times at
Ballard, two of the bullets striking
but not with fatal effect. Both were
arrested. Goshorn was released, and
Ballard was bound over in the sum
of $1,000.

"THE1R WARFARE Is AccoMpLIsHFp'

Was the touching incription placed upon
the tombstone of husband and wife. There
is nothing which so sours man, and indu-
ces domestic warfare, as i'll health; and es-
pecially weakness in the back, loss of physi-
cal power, an early breaking down of the
body, rendering one outfit to attend to his
business. Then cares and anxieties multi
ply, the temper becomes rufiled, and peace
flies out OF the window. Behold the great
restorer, Hunts remedy! Quitely it comes
to the mans relief. One bottle searches
out the disease, and begins its cure. Two
or three more take on the good work, and
finish it satisfactorily. The kidneys are
healed and restored to their proper func-
tions, the weakness is g ne, the back is re-
newed, the bloom Of health returns. and all
the old-time mental vigor in ones business
affairs; and there is no more sour temper,
but lasting peace. All hail to Hunts Rene

The River Appropriation.

Saturday last the United State.
Senate passed the bill providing 81
appropriation Of 100000 for the
Mississippi river. The bill passed
the House sometime ago, providing
a smaller appropriation, and it is
thought the House will now agree
20 the increase. President Arthur
is committed to the bill and will
sign It as soon as it reaches him.
In fact, it was through his influence
that the bill was passed. He has
come out more boldly in favor OF
improving the Mississippi river than
any President has since the war.
The bill was opposed by Frye and
some of his Republican colleagues.
Frye wanted to attach to the bill a
proviso that would prevent the ex.
penditure of any part of the appro-
priation in building or repairing
levees. He supported his amend
ment in vigorous speech, in which
he declared the country would never
consent to an appropriation for lie.
wees to protect on reclaim private
lands. Mr.. Jones replied to him,
and then Harrison, ofIndiana, came
to the front in support Of Frye's
position. Kellogg answered Harri.
son. Then Mcmillan and Conger
made speeches in favor of Frye's
amendment. Hoar got in some
timely remarks,in opposition to the
amendment, and Bayard made a
brief talk to the effect that The i'm,
provement of the Mississippi was
an experiment, and that the River
Commission ought not to be restrict
ed by proviso which might prevent
them from carrying out their plans.
A vote was then taken and the
amendment was defeated. The vote
stood 16 for and 80 against the
amendment. The sixteen votes
were all Republicans.

STARKvILLE, MISS, July "A
large crowd was in attendance at the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, at least three thousand persons
being present, and great interest was
taken in the event.
The auction sale of thoroughbred
and graded cattle was held here to-.
day, and in many respects was a
grand success. Forty odd head of
cattle were sold, confined almost en-
tirely to Jerseys, and with the excep-
ton of six thoroughbred bulls, the
sale consisted of grade Jersey cows
and heifers. From the presence of
representative men from this and adj
joining States one would infer that
the little Jerseys greatest boom..h
not yet come. Many of the cat
tie go out of the State. Among the
crowd were recognized Ex-Governor
Stone, Governor Lowry, Col. Stuart,
ofNew Orleans, Capt. Duffee, of Mo-
bile, and Judge Arnold, of Columbus.
This sale is the inaugural sale Of
blooded stock to be conducted annu-
ally hereafter under the auspices Of
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College. Liberal prices were paid for
the cattle. Two hundred and ten
dollars was the highest paid for
bulls, one hundred = for grade milk
COWS, and forty for yearling heifers.
