GniIIY Of Wrong.

Some people have a fashion of con-
fusing excellent remedies with the
large mass of patent medicines" and
in this they are guilty of wrong. There
are some advertised remedies fully
worth all that is asked for them, and
one at least weiknow of-Hop Bitters.
The writer has had occasion to use the
Bitters in just such climate as We
have most of the year in Bay City,
and has always found them to be
first-class and reliable, doing all that
is claimed for them.-Tribune.

The adjourned Prohibition Mass Meeting
to be held at the Court House next Monday
ct II, o'clock will take mp the work left
unfinished at the meeting Of October 18th,
aud mature tbe'plsns marked out ct that
time. All of the committees appointed at
the last meeting should be on hand and
ready with their reports. The committee
OF hve-one from each beat-to appoint a
select committee Of 100 TO go before the
Legislature TO present the petition of the
Prohibitionists Of the county, have q most
important duty to perform. and should
make their selections from only the best Of
material. The Finance Committee should
also exert themselves to make a good
showing, rs funds are necessary to meet
the expenses of the recent canvass of the
county and other incidental expenses of the
move. 1t is also important that all those
holding petitions shall turn them over to
the proper committee. The meeting will
be addressed by its distinguished Chair
man, DR.. II. +. johnson, and tprobably
others
In this connection We may say that the
outlook for the success of the Prohibition
move IN this and at least two or three
adjoining counties is most flattering and
encouraging. Their is no doubt hut a ma

have signed the petitions, and as to the

Tree-PinatiaE.

There are few rows of beautiful trees
in BroOkhaven; we are sorry to say there
are but a few. The water oak is our
prettiest tree, and now is the season for
uaasplantiugit. The woods in the neighbor
hood abound with them, and those Of
suitable size for transporting can be had
In abundance, costing only the small
labor of removal. Every citizen who
owns property would willingly give
twenty times the actual cost of the thing,
If he could have such a row of trees along
his street front as at Capt. Moret0n's
or in front of s. +. Magee's. Our Board of
Mayor and Alderman have heretofore done
but little toward adjoining the town; but
what little they have done is beginning to
be appreciated. Let them now for this
winter cause water oaks to be planted on
both sides Of the Railroad between the
street aud the road from Congress to
Chickasaw streets; and if they would pro-
vide by ordinance for paying so many
oents-say, about half the actual cost--tO
each person who will plant out trees on the
other streets, subject to the approval of
the Street Commissioner, much may be
done this season toward identifying. the
town. All have heard of I he famed beau
ty of Columbus, Miss. The grand water
oaks which line the broad streets of that
city form one of it's chief glOries and
features of beauty.
The man who plants a tree erects a
monument to his good sense and thrift,
and one that will cause those who come
after him, in gratitude, to bless his memo
