Just Like Holly Springs-Grand Prepa'
rations for the Knights Templar Next
Month.
The Knights Templar of Mississippi will
hold their Annual Grand Conclave at Holly
Springs next month-on 10Th and 10th. The
following extracts from letter from Sir L.
B. Mosby, Emminent Commander of Holly
Springs Commandery, indicate an exceed
ingly pleasant time:
"Owing to the floods and delay in getting
material, our invitations have been delayed,
but are now being sent out. Our Sir
Knights, aided by the ladies, are making
grand preparations for the entertainment OF
the Grand Commandery. We will be pre-
pared to take care of all who come, and
| hope to have large attendance. We in
tend to make the occasion joyful one IN
every particular. We extend cordial ifl-
vitation to all Sir knights OF this jurisdie-
ton, and to our sister States, and will open
our doors and extend to them hearty well
come. I may add that Franklin Female
College is preparing an entertainment, also
our Dramatic Association. Our ladies are
i preparing for the banquet q magnificent
tcake which will symbolically represent the
Blue Lodge, Chapter and Commandery.
1t is hoped the Sir Knights Of Jackson, who
enjoyed themselves so well at Kosciusko
last year, will test the hospitality of Holly
Springs. Yours, y 49,.

The appointments made by the Governor
to the various judgships seem to give emf
nent satisfaction. In his estimate OF men
Gov. Lowry excels. He has unusual pEac.
teal wisdom, and has entered upon his ad-
ministratiou with the entire confidence and
esteem of the State. His place in the sauct

The Proposed Garfeld Monument Fund.

EprToRs CLARION In your Weekly of
the The 10th inst, notice brief comment
upon the Garfield monument question,
which | heartily endorse, and would say
that of late years it seems like the Ameri-
can people high in politics, have become
reckless and sinfully extravagant in appro-
priations. THAT being no benefit to the
suffering poor people, it should be the aim
OF all who are entrusted with the honors OF
legislative power, TO alleviate the
bnrthens Of the poor that are living.
God will take care of the dead, and those
that are living aud able ought to be left
alone, without legislation adding stupen-
Gus amounts, to an already Golfer repiete, to
take care Of themselves. If our govern
ment has in her treasury an amount that
can be drawn from TO be applied to individ-
ual benefits, let it go to those that need it,
aud are living, aud can enjoy il, and not
apply it to those already surrounded with
all the comfortso of life. j. l.. Z.

Wire Forcing.

We hear of number of persons, in differ
ent parts of the county, owners of large
bodies of land which have been lying out of
late years because of the absence of fencing,
who are much elated at the passage of the
wire fence and the hog law. They think
they will now be able to fence their lands,
bring them into successful cultivation, and
make them contribute largely to the wealth
of the county. five are not greatly deceiy-
ed, fencing wire will be brought into Kinds
in large quantities next fall; and that fac
tory which can afford the cheapest rates and
offer the best terms, will do very large and
a very safe business.-HInds County GA

Col; Green Clay's View OF the Situation
in the River Region.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Col. Green Clay, from Bolivar Landing,
Miss, arrived in the city yesterday and at
once went on Change. where he was inter
viewed cor corning the devastation in his
county. His description OF the condition
agrees with the reports ahich have been
published from that quarter When
questioned about the probable effect the
Government assistance would have in in
dueing the people to return to their homes
after the water subsidel, he did not take
very encouraging view OF the situation.
He predicted the worst would cJme with
the June rise, when, unless some provision
was made, the levees would collapse again
and sweep out the crops. He thought the
planters would not undertake to sow or
plant anything, as they would be very
foolish in wasting their time aud money in
preparing the ground for second inunda-
ton
