The Undo Dog in the fight.

From the peasant up to the king,
Has different tale from the tale tell
And different song to sing.
But for me.-.and | care not a single fig
If they say am wrong or am right

The under dog in the fight.
IknOw that the world the great big world
Will never IL moment stop
To see which dog may be in the fault,
But will shout for the dog on top.
But for me | shall never pause to ask
Which dog may be III the right,
For my heart will beat, while it beats at nj
For the under dog in the fight.

and emphatic endorsement. We

The proposition to change the

ton of sub tantial justice cannot be
secured in the courts as now consti,
tuted, by all means let change be
made, and q speedy and thorough
change. But if all the ends attaina>
BILE by means of courts are fairly
subserved,-if personal probity, pro-
fessional learning and official recti-
tude continue to characterize our
Judges to as great and as universal IN
extent as could be expected under
any form of election, whence arises
the need of alteration? Conservatism

RES tending TO promote the happiness
and advancement of the human race
nothing is 50 intimately connected with
the health and happiness of women-the
centre and source of our highest earthly
enjoyments-as the discovery of reme-
dy which meets her peculiar wants, and
fits her for the enjoyment of life, and for
ministeriug to the happiness of those
with whom she is associatet>jn the tender
relations of sister, wits and mother. This
remedy is found in DR.. J. Bradfield's

from the ills peculiar to her sex. 1t cures
constipation and strengthens the system,

DEAR EXAMINER:

Feb, 18th, 1883
DEAR EXAMINER:
Another year has come to close
with all it's many changes, aud your
humble correspondent is still among
tue living. Thinking that perhaps a
little news would be interesting from
this place, | will write again.
Our school is out for the present,
but will be resumed again as soon as
the new school honse is completed
We have not decided yet as to who
will BE- our next cle', but hope
we will be acknowledgements to secure
the services of some one who will
take the same interest in teaching
the children as did Mr.. VIM Allen.
We all regretted very much his sud.
den departure. He is at present
living in Comanchee, Texas. / sup
pose you have heard long ere this
of our exh billion at Central Grove
Church; it was indeed grand sue
cess in every particular; so shy all
who attended, and you bet all come
that could.
The music was delightful, speeches,
dialogues, songs and different acts
such as would be seen and acted i'll
much larger cities than Ours, were
beautifully executed ; to try and give
the different scenes that were pei.
formed upon that occasion would
take better pen than mine. Every
one went away highly pleased with
what he saw and heard.
The farmers ale still on the march
to new improvements on their farms,
Some think this year will exceed that
Of last in raising all kinds of produce;
every one over here is buoyant with
the thought Of having hog and homi
ny enough to run him through the
year without going in debt for more
supplies. Mr.. Buchanan has a good
store of all that is needed both in
groceries and dry goods; he keeps a
general assortment of everything that
is wanted and sells rs cheap as we
could buy in any city. His new grst
mill is in splendid order and grinds
for the county at large; he also has
a new cotton press and gins out,
packs,and presses from ten to twelve
bales per day. He soon expects to
have new saw mill in operation.
Our clever young friend Mr. J,
NJ. Lawrence, Post Master at Central
Grove, is still improving, having
been 50 unfortunate as to get leg
broken sometime ago, while return,
ing from Okolona with a supply of
groceries.
Hoping success and prosperity to
the dear old Examiner, / remain
Yours truly,

WASHINGTON March 4 From carly
last evening until the adjournment OF

done by the House except to agree
to conference report or two. The
Lee Richardson contested election
case was under consideration all the
time. The Democrats, believing that
Richardson had been elected, fiilbus,
tered in bis behalf, and kept him in.
The friends of he whisky bill want
ed to get that bill up, but the Repub-
licans would not permit them as long
rs the Lee. Richardson case was I'M,
disposed Of In fact the leading Re =
publicans did not intend that the
whisky bill should pass; they meant
to punish the VII sky men for furnish
ing the campaign fund to the Demo.

ton case and the whisky interest
INSTRUCTED all other business. Ii a
member tried to get up bill cries of

criticism. Just before adjournment,
it is said he asked for the resignation
of Mr.. Tyson, one Of the official STEM

$4,000 a year. OF course there is

ataWaNlba Wants Sim0ntOm for
SenatOy.

EDITORS EXAMINER: Without en-
gaging in controversy as to the
Propriety or improperly of the Sena-
atorial nuptial of Monroe, Lee and
ltawamba countico, wo assert that we
did not make any protest to the ban,
and hence hold our peace as to the
alliance.
1t was meet, or seemed so to the
solons who formed our last Legisla-
ture, that the junction should be
formed; that there could not by any
possibility arise any trouble by the
union that could Or would infringe
the rights of the offspring contemplate
ed in the text of the law authorizing
the new jurisdiction, and certainly
vested every legatee in the bonds of
the heritage with an equal chance at
the distribution of the spoils, i e
offices.
Now, this vast estate it has been
decreed shall have two guardians
selected from among the people the
one-ShaH be mark the emphasis
from Monroe, the other from either
Lee or ltawamba and both chosen in
November next by the whole people.
In this connection it is proper to
see who is able and in every wise
qualification be it known all are
willing-to serve the people of Lee
and Itawamba in this capacity, and
having scanned the whole field of
probabilities closely, with an eye
keenly alive to ''spy out" one who,
above all others, would best serve US
in that distinguished position, we
find none, no not one, in the "metes
and bounds" of our bailiwick who is
worthier in every respect than Col.
JOHN NJ. SIMoNToN, Of Lee.
We are not aware that he could be
induced to enter the scramble for
Office, but it is surplusage to introduce
him to the people, for, to the older
inhabitants Of the district, he is init
mately and favorably known, having
lived in Monroe for many years of his
earliest manhood and having been the
choice of ltawamba for Senator before
the war and during the war after he
had led her noble hardy sons to battle
as the gallant Colonel of the gallant
First Mississippi Regiment of Infan
try volunteers, and been disabled by
lllSdltdJc ulSGdSOS nun OtIIGI AlllldIf
service, and while confined in the
hospital at Lauderdale Springs under
the care Of Surgeons, Itawamba again
elected him without opposition to the
Senate, and at that Senate he was
chosen to preside.
When the war was over he was
elected by ltawamba to the recon-
conventions twice and serv-
ed with distinguished ability.
Now, would YOU have any further
guaranty as to his capacity than his
record gives No, no Then let
him consent and Lee hoist on her
banner the name of Simonton for
Senator, and we believe from the
threats of thousand votaries of
freedom from Itawamba the shout will
