When Capt. Baker yielded to
the earnest solicitation of the
Democrats Of this county to al'
low them to uss his name IN the
primary election for . place on
the Legislative ticket, the pros
pect was not assuring. Ths De-
mocracy the year before had been
overwhelmingly defeated, and tho
opposition felt secure In the Chal,
mers organization and in their
ability to maintain 1t intact
throughout the county. Capt.
Baker without any effort or per-
sonal solicitation was nominated,
and at once entered upon vigor'
ous, aggressive campaign. His
first speech at Paris WAS tri-
umpaant vindlcation of the wis.
dom OF the party in selecting him
as a standard bearer. The prin.
pies of the Democrats of the
country, it's legislative action IN
the State, its capacity and integrl-
ty and it's right to control the at
fairs of Mississippi were most elc-
quently, ably and forclbly pre-
seuted and maintained. The peo-
pie felt the justice Of his cause and
the party rallied with the sntha-
siasm ofthe past and at sncs be-
came a unit in strength aud har-
mony throughout the county.
This, in short, Is the history OIL
Capt. Bakers recent services 10
the Democratic party, and We are
clad to see that they, In connee-
tjou with his former faithful aud
efficient work In the Legislature,
have brought him prominently
before the State IN connec-
tion with the SpeakcrshiP of the
House. We are not apprised that
Cant. Baker personally seeks the
honor, as he made no sffort to 50.
cnre the nomination for the Pe-
sition TO which he has just been
elected, but we do know that no
man In the state could all TIE q

prise to the great advantages of
that region cannot fail TO greatly
stimulate its industrial progress.
Once our people can be made
to shake of the prejudice which
has fora long time eNisted against
embarking in such enterprises
south ofthe Ohio River,I think the
tide of immigration will surely set
in that direction. Personally |
would give more for one acre OF
land in the Mississippi Delta than
for whole section in Dakota.
Tho only thing necessary to make
your wilderness blossom like the
proverbial rose is to attract lit

which has been, in some eases at
least, misdirected to other and
less fertile localities.

his feet firmly against another fat
round at the foot of the ladder.
A team was hitched to these
straps, and then commenced the
tug Of war. The large pair of
horses started, strained and tug
ged. But in vain. The man could
not be pulled from his position.
After making three or four futile
attempts, this team was removed
and y heavy pair ofsorrels attach
ed to the man. They, like their
predecessors, could make no I'm
preston, aud the max Of muscle
did not make the slightest sign Of
weakening. Finally one of the
employees of Mr.. Webster took
the animals by their heads, and
they again cxerted their we'll
trained muscle. This time the
large evener to which the whifiie-
trees were attached snapped in
twain like a pipe-stem. This set.
tied the contest. The crowd ia
attendance were all satisfied that
the boast of the stranger had been
made good, and cheered him heart

The Factors Of Modern Educa.
tIon." Considering the press as
one Of the most important agents
for the dissemination of culture
aud civilization, the speaker said
as follows:
THE nearest kin to the library
il the newspaper. The newspa.
per is comparatively modern in.
vention, but the rapid strides
which 1t has made towards the
development and education of
the public mind, stands unequal.
cd IN history. Newspapers are
rapidly and radically stamping out
isnorance. and u family that is
without this modern factor of ed.
ucation, exposes its ignorance and
deserves our pity. What public
school and library could not give,
tho newspaper supplies us with.
It's the school aud library for
every man, and gives US frequent.
yin the most condensed form,
what would otherwise cause days
OF study. aud probably weeks of
research. The newspaper is a
blessing to the world and enioys
the rare privilege to give satisfac.
ton to all, the rich and the poor,
the high and the low, the sage
and those whose education is OH.
ly limited one. For a compare.
lively small amount OF money, ev.
cry man is enabled to gather in a
newspaper vast store of learn
ing and information. But the
press gives not only spiritual food
to mature persons, rs general
thing 1t is a healthy nourishmsnt
also for tho youth. | would ban
ish all those abominable readers
with their stale and Indifferent
stories from tho school.room, aud
replace them by good and decent
newspapers, that give the grow.
ING youth something which will
interest them more than tales and
fables, and ut the same time make
them acquainted with the current
history Of the world. BY such
method they will undoubtedly nc.
qnire habits Of reading good litera.
turc; they will eagerly seek infor.
nation, and so become acquaint-
cd with the history Of past times;
they will learn to value science
and esteem the demands life
makes Of man; they will look out
for their future welfare, aud be
obedisnt to parents aud teachers;
and what the most stringent laws
could not suppress. viz. the read.
Ing of that trashy literature, like
Police Gazottes and dime novels,
the good newspaper will in due
course Of time fully accomplish.
The newspaper is one OF the min
factors Of modern education, aud
to it we owe in . great measure
our present culture aud progress.
School, library and newspaper
form one group, and are in my
estimation inseparable factors Of
intelligence and education. They
complete each other, aud though
they may be divergent In their or,
igin, yet they converge IN the
great aim they try to accomplish.
