A MISSISSIPPI PILOTS STORY.
Some Facts About AlligatOrs as They
Were in the Good Old Days.
From the XIeksburg Herald.

III "A nob
The passenger, who was going
down the big river for the first time
in his life, secured permission to climb
up beside the pilot, y grim old gray
back, who never had told a lie in his
life.
ssMany alligators in the river?'' in
quired the stranger, after a quiet look
around.
'Not so many now, since they got
to shooting EN- for their hides and
taller was the reply.
'Used to be lots, eh?"
II don't want to tell you about
'em, stranger replied the pilot,
signing heavily.
'Why?"
because you'd think 1 was lying
to you, and that's sumthin' l e
do. l can cheat at keerds, drink
whisky, or chaw poor %terbacker, but
] can't lie."
Then there used to be lots of
'em?" inquired the passenger.
Pm most afraid of We, mister, but
I've counted ten hundred alligators
to the mile from Vicksburg ella down
to New eOrIeans. That was years
ago, afore a shot was ever fired at
them.'
"Well, l don't doubt it," replied
the stranger.
"And I've counted 3,459 of ZEN
on Il sand BAR" continued the pilot.
sit looks big to tell, but a Govern
ment surveyor was aboard, and he
checked 'em off as l called out"
II haven't the least doubt of it,
said the passenger, as he heaved a
sigh.
"I'm glad O. that, stranger. Some
fellers would think I'm a liar when
Pm telling the solemn truth. This
used to be a paradise for alligators,
and they were so thick that the
wheels killed an average of forty-nine
to the mlle!"
us that 500"
True as gospel, mister! l used
to almost feel sorry for the cussed
brutes, because they'd cry out cen
most like a human being. We killed
lots of 'em, as l said, and we hurt a
pile more. 1 sailed with one captain
who allus carried a thousand bottles
of liniment to throw over to the
wounded ones!"
"He did?'
"True as you live, he did. l don't
'spect I'll ever see another such a
kind, Christian man. And the ALI
gators got to know the Nancy Jane,
and to know Capt. Tom, and they'd
swim out and rub their tails agin the
boat an purr like cats, an look up
and try to smile!"
They would?"
"Solemn truth, stranger! And
once when we grounded On a bar.
with an opposition boat right behind
us, the alligators gathered around
her under the stern and jumped he1
clean over the bar by a grand push
1t looks like a big story, but I never
told q lie yet and 1 never shall. ]
wouldn't lie for all the money you
could put aboard this boat"
There was a painful pause, and at
ter a while the pilot continued:
s'Our ingines gin out once, and
crowd of alligators took a tow lin
and hauled us forty-five miles Vi
stream to Vicksburg."
"They did?'
"And when the news got along tn
river that Capt. Tom was dead, ever,
alligator on the river daubed his LEI
ear with mud as a badge of mourning
and lots of 'em pined and died."
The passenger left the pilot-hous
with the remark that he didn't dout
the statement, and the old man CAV
the wheel a turn, and replied:
'sThar's one thing I won't do fo
love o money, and that's make
liar of myself. / was brung up by
good mother, and I'll stick to til
truth if this boat don't make a cent.

To the Editors of the Standard:
Iwish, through your paper, to call the attention of
the people to the Agricultural meeting held in the
Court House the 25th inst, for the purpose of
organizing Society. As soon as the meeting
called to order, 1t was plain to be seen that
it to be a one-sided affair, that the farmers
most interested, and others who had not met in
the caucus held the evening before to have
voice in determining what was best to be
done order fairs be held hereafter should be
made prosperous and self sustaining in place of leav
ing it to the deliberations and careful considerations
THE people what was best to be done. little ring
headed by Ex-Judge had met in caucus the even
ing before, and determined upon plan, calculated to
defeat organzatfon place the control of the Ag
ricutura Society into the hands of few men of their
selections So careful was the Ex-Judge, that
the programme determined upon by the ring caucus
should be carried into effect, that he made motion
that committee should be appointed by the Society
to determine what best be done and not by the
President, as is the CUSTOM the President not being
in the ring And thereupon the ExJudge's satellites
nominated the ring caucus as the committee, and
their object carried out by the adoption of the
report of said committee.
Now what wish to say is this: We cannot have
a prosperous Agricultural Society in this County
without harmony exists between all she persons in
terested therein. The farmers should especially be
consulted and their views, a great extent adopted
Men with means should be consulted aud an organi-
zation perfected by mutual consent of all interested
parties and not by few in caucus The object of the
organization should be to promote the interest of the
farmers and thereby promote the interest of all other
classes of citizens dependent upon the prosperity of
those who dig and toll and cultivate the soil. have
personal interest in the Agricultural Society," and
do not desire any. What wish is the the prosper
ity of the Society," and know that the Society
prosper without harmony and know that harmony
cannot exist when men act through prejudice or for
personal notoriety gain Those persons who
howled and hissed at the meeting and attempted to
prevent public discussion, not the kind of
have control public interests any other interests
where brains are needed. 1T. MoNAHAN.

JUDGE THOMPSON, in his charge to
the Grand jury at Portsmouth. said (:

spirit of lawlessness is rife in the land, which
calls for strict and prompt enforcement of the law,
such as will once more compel obedience to: and re-
spect authority. And this end all officers and
tribunals, charged with the execution of the law,
upheld by the law-loving; law-abiding citizens,
should exercise especial Vigilance and fathfulnes in
the discharge Of their duties The sources of crime
should be struck at The practices and places which
breed crime. and train the men that commit the
ofenses enumerated in the list which your atten-
tion has been called. should be put down. Common
ity of the crimes committed, can be traced to or
through the drinking houses, gambling houses, and
bawdy houses of the land These the schools the
training places of the vicious and The
carrying of these places in violation of law, affects
society at large rather than the individual: # a
machinery of the law against the offender; but the
will quietly submit to the saloon, the
bling house, and the houses of prostitution. being
carried on in open and fragrant violation of law be-
cause he is only affected in with the other
members Of the community. These offenses, these
violations of law which tend to the destruction OF
society, in my Judgment, peculiarly and especi
ally, matters for the investigation of the Grand Jury
The Grand Jury stands for and represents, the pub
lie, and should protect its interests.
If 1T comes to knowledge therefore. that such
violations of the law are being committed in this
yestigate them fearlessly and impartially.
