AFTER MANY DAys.-The other night a
stranger stepped up to Capt. Waters, on the
street, and told him that twenty five years ago,
when boy eight years OF age, he had run
away from his home in Siaunton, and had
neither seen nor heard anything Of his family
since His name he gave, as James W Bailey,
and he had an indistinct recollection OF his
mother being called Elizabeth Bailey. He
ask the Captain if he knew anything OF his
friends After studying little while, Capt.
Walters remembered Mrs. Betsy Bailey liv-
ing in town and offered to take the stranger to
her house. The offer was gratefully accepted.
When the two reached Mrs. BIS home, and she
was told the strangers story, she threw her
arms around his neck and wept for joy. After
near quarter of Il century her long lost child
was returned to her. Capt. Waters describes
the scene at the meeting as very affecting.

LEON RoUsAN, - Dear Sir: AT
the last meeting Of the board of
Trustees of the Insane ASYLUM, the
members Of the board took upon
themselves the task of asccrtaining
the number, condition &C., of all in
sane persons in the state, and the
first Congressional District was as
signed to me as my share of the
work. OF course ! will have to de-
pend upon resident citizens Of the
several counties for this information,
and although have no personal ac-
quaintance with you, l have thought
from what ! have heard of you that
you would find pleasure in aiding us
in this "labor of loven hence this let
ter.
What ] wish to know, is the name,
age, sex, color and pecuniary condi-
ton Of every insane person in your
county. Also whether confined or
not, harmless or vicious, able to work
or otherwise, with any other item
that may suggest itself to you. We
want to know as near as we can, how
many people we will have to care
for when the ASYLUM is completed.
We are building an institution OF
which you and every other good citi-
zen will be proud.
Take your convenience for making
up the list, but please have it COM
plete and reliable, and send it to me
as soon as you can. Hoping to hear
from you soon ! am Very Truly,
JoHN W. STAYroN.

II. A. sanders.

In this weeks issue we announce
the candidacy of the above named
gentleman, for the Office Of County
and Probate Judge. We take pleas.
urc in announcing the candidacy of
Mr.. Sanders, for we know him to be
a strictly sober, and honest man.
He has served as a Justice Of the
Peace in Scott Township for nearly
six years, and during his incumben-
cy of the Office gave satisfaction to
all who had business in his court.
No judgment of his was ever revers-
ed in the Circuit Count. As census
enumerator and foreman of the
grand-jury he was ever found to be
duly sober, prompt and rdiligent.
Such is his record, and we commend
him to the favorable consideration of
voters Of this county.

Read This!

We commend the following which
we clip from the Wittsburg Chron-
ical to the careful attention Of the
thinking public of Osceola and the
county of Mississippi. Contrast this
picture of Wittsburg with what you
know of Osceola, and then decide
whether you will put Osceola in the
condition of Wittsburg just to make
trade lively;
There is one thing we need in
this town very badly; more than any
other improvement just now, and
that is a oalaboose, place to chuck
all the noisy drunk Irishmcn that
are becoming such an intolerable
nuisance in our little town. Il is a
Job that Marshal Peevey will not
undertake, to carry all the quarrel
some, fighting, swearing Irish up to
the jail on the hill, and it is beoom
ing such a nuisance having them
drunk in the street all the time that
some measure should be taken at
once to prevent it. 1t has become
so bad that ladies are almost afraid
to 90 on the streets, fearing they will
be insulted or their modesty outrag-
cd by sights and sounds unfit fol
their delicate eyes and ears. 1t must
be stopped. Build strong box; SET
it down on the river behind the ware
houses and when a man becomes
noisy Or profane, or gets beyond this
and lies down in the street to sleep,
let the marshal take him to the lock
up, and when he becomes sufficiently
sober to behave himself, bring him
before the mayor and have him fined
The fines thus received would soon
pay for building the house and we
would be rid of an almost intolerablc
Nuisance,

II is INV Pocket!

at is my pocket, ! am thinking
of, when ! am working to get back
the Saloons" is the remark we heard
of a merchant Of this town making
the other day. Let the people look
well to theirpockets and vote against
the saloon the parent of insanity,
crime and social degradation. Is it
to the advantage of the voters to
have saloons, under the influence of
which men will recklesly squandcr
their money for that which they do
not want?
The Osceola times., 1882-07-29

Tue nearer the election approach
cs, picnios and barbecues increase in
frequency and grandeur. Especially
is this the case with our colored
brethren. They had one last Satur-
day, another is to come off to-day,
and still another one in contempla-
ton. As they march around, deck
ed out in their Sunday clothes, adorn-
ed with badges, and ribbons, and
keep time to the beating of drums,
the waving of banners, and all the
pomp and glitter, and circumstance
of an election, Our mind reyerts back
to few short months ago, when a
Mass +? meeting of this oounty(0 was
calling upon the general government
for aid to keep these same good fell
lows from starving. But this shows
what recuperative power there is in
our people and country. Come to
think of it, isn't it a little strange
that with only one honorable excep-
tion, every member composing that
Mass meeting, who wanted an ap-
preparation ''in dollars and cents" for
these starving" people, are candi-
dates for some Office or other, within
the gift of the people. You'll not
find their names in our list Of an
nouncements, but they are candi-
dates all the same.
The Osceola times., 1882-07-29

SIX months ago, when the local
option. or three nile law, first went
into effect, it was deemed violation
of the law for barkeepers on steam
boats to sell whiskey within the pre-
scribed limits, opinions of eminent
lawyers, secured at handsome fees,
all tended to establish and strength
en- this opinion, and the officers,
whose duty it was to see that the law
was enforced were more than zeal
Gus in enforcing a due observance
of the same. On the approach Of the
election, however, a considerable
change is observed; whether it be
that those in Office are afraid to en-
force the law, for fear Of loosing a
few votes, and thus fail to secure
themselves in place, or that the law
has lost its efficacy, We are not pre-
pared to say. 1t is more than prob
able, that the NOTICES which prompts
many, and in order to be impartial,
we might say, nearly all officials, to
defer all official duties until after
the election, may be attributed as
the cause of laxity in this particular.
1t is a certain fact that the barkeep-
er on our local packet is permitted
to keep his bar open at our wharf
and sell openly and without limit.
What we, in connection with the
peace, order and law-abiding eie-
ment Of the community desire to
know, is, whether or not the law is
still on our statutes, and ifso, why is
il not enforced?

PRoF. J. L. Denton has declined
the nomination Of the Democratic
convention for Superintendent Of
Public Instructions. We deplore
this act on the part Of Col. Denton,
because we feel convinced that there
is not another man in the state that
can fiji the position with equal profit
to the state. Yet, we are not sur.
prised, for we regard him as too
high-toned and honorable to long re-
main in a situation where he was the
object Of malignant and unscrupu-
lous attacks from soreheads and dis
appointed politicians. Prof. Wood
E. Thompson, was selected by the
Central Committee to fill his place

in favor of Mrs. Pickett. Last week
Messrs. Ferguson & IIampson OBJ
tanned an injunction from County
Judge Garlic enjoining Mrs. Pickett
her agents and attorneys, from fur
ther proceedings with their suit in
Memphis. This we suppose, is done
to compel all further proceedings to
take place in the Circuit Court.
