a Good Representative.

Col. Byrd introduced four bills and one
joint resolution during the sitting Of the
Legislature, all Of which passed and be-
came laws, namely: To aid in snppressing
the traffic in stolen seed cotton, which pro-
vides that all merchants, gin owners, or
other persons buying or bartering for seed
cotton shall keep written record or regis
ter;of the same, giving the date Of the pur-
chase, the name OF the person from whom
bought and where said to have been grown,
tn. record to be subject to public inspection
at all reasonable times--a failure to COM
ply with this law is made misdemeanor,
which win subject the party to a fine
not exceeding $500 nor less than $50, and
Imprisonment not TO exceed three months
nor less than one month. To exempt from
taxation all wines made from grapes or 9th.
er native fruits; to allow Circuit Clerks q
Lincoln, Jefferson, Amite and Franklin
counties reasonable compensation in crimi-
nal cases where the State fails in prosecu.
ton, or where cost cannot be made out Of
the defendants, this being an increase an
nually of one hundred dollars. An amen
datory bill to an act passed preventing the
selling or giving away OF ~inaus or spir-
ituous liquors within five miles of Wesson
Col. Byrd's reason for introducing the bill
was that Beauregard was exempt from the
provisions of the act, while the bill prohib
tied the sale Of liquors four miles in Lin
coin county. He regarded it asa discrimi
nation in favor of Copiah and against hi
own county. The joint resolution con.
cerned the present system of leasing peni
tertiary convicts,> bringing them in compc
tition with honest labor, and recommending
that SO soon as the present lease expires
that they shall only be employed on public
works or within the walls of the penitenti
airy. Col. Byrd was chairman of the Com
mittee on fees and salaries, and every re-
port made by that committee was adopted
by the House, with one single exception
Every measure he introduced passed and
became a law.

OBJECT AND PURPOSES.

This organization is what lis name inn
plies, Union for Mutual Aid, its object
being to associate unmarried men and wo-
men together to assist each other by provi-
ding fund for them at marriage, and for
the purpose of promoting morality, benev-
olence, temperan~ e, economy and industry
INCORPORATED.
This Union was organized and chartered
under the laws of Louisiana. The officers
and directors are successful business men,
and are well known in commercial and So
cial circles. Their names are a guarantee
that the business of the Union will be
faithfully and honestly conducted. The
officers are under heavy bonds.
THE PLAN.
The Union differs from mutual life asso-
Citations, in that it pays its certifca tes at
marriage Tor stated time thereafter) while
they pay only at death. 1t also differs from
other marriage associations, giving more
benefits and for less money than they do,
allowing earlier marriages and paying
sooner. Any white person, either male or
female, OF good moral character and of
sane mind, can join either of the classes by
complying with the requirements of the
Union. A person can only join one class.
TWO FUNDS.
The money received on membership
fees and annual dues will be known as the
General Fund. 1t will be used to pay Off
GERS, agents, rents and the expenses of the
Union The assessments will be designa-
ted as the Marriage Benefit Fund, and will
only be used to pay the certificates as mar
riages occur.
CHARACTER OF APPLICANTS.
The officers of the Union will do all in
their power to prevent the admission OIL
disreputablc or immoral peoples All ap'
plicants must be satisfactorily recommends
ed before certificates will be issued. Ger.
iificates will not be paid when evidence is
received that the parties marrying are I'M
worthy people and have practised fraud
on the Union.
FOUR CLASSES.
The benefits are divided into four classes,
designated as a." "B.," &C." and I'D.
