We would say to our friend not to let

them as soon as they are read or return
them co the writer. -Dursnt News.

GRENADA, MISS, Aug. Is, 1883.
TO the Voters Of the rdJudicial District:
] take this method Of announc-
ing myself candidate for the office OF
District Attorney for this District.
In view of the fact that the office is
purely pon-political in its character, and
should by no means be administered in
a partizaD spirit, / respectfully solicit
the support OF all, without regard to par
ty or party action.
The incumbent of the office and cand-
date for reelection and myself are both
Democrats of unquestioned fidelity to
party, and unless the opposition by mons
mating a candidate of their own, should
thereby make nomination by the Dem
ocratic party, seem to be political ne,
cessity, it would be an invidious dis
tinction for the Democratic party to say
which of lis or who else should be the
party candidate. Besides that, such ac-
ton of the party might unnecessarily
provoke similar action on the part Of
the opposition.
Should the opposition nominate can
Jidate, I shall withdraw from the field,
thereby yielding to the general idea
that nomination by the opposition
would necessltate like action by the DEM
ocratic party, not witbstanding it is nv
deliberate opinion that persistent de,
termination on our part not to partici.
pate in making the Office political, would
meet the hearty approval Of large ma
iority Of the voters of the District.

The flood of nervous excitement that

charged mind, last week, relieved him,
IL is to be hoped; so we'll try again to
get some truth out him. We arc no!
discussing the question as to the time
of the discovery of America; but what
we want is that Drew retract crimi-
nal slander. There Is hut one clergy
man In Baldwin, and it follows as an
inevitable result that his character is
the one assailed. Now, there is abun-
dant evidence that the charge by Drew
is false, completely so; aud In behalf
of an Innocent man recklessly SIAN
dcred, and in behalf of the religious
society he represents, we demand that
the over smart young man at Chase
"tell the truth, and lie not" In re-
gard to the statement that zone of the
county officers" furnished the inform
alton, thus duplicating every county
officer; we are of the opinion that it Is
of the same piece with the clergyman
yarn. However, that matter may he
settled by the officers themselves. We
simply want Drew to act the man III
this matter, which is serious matter.
| This is no serving n warrant and then
demanding a set ment, that made
you complain so bitterly when you was
arrested for alleged horses teajing; but
here is an open chance for you to cor
rect an utterly false statement and thus
prove yourself an honorable and ear
nest journalist, instead of Il thoughtlcss,
reckless, unreliable one, injuring the
peace and Welfare of innocent persons.

up preparation that so effectually
cures rupture. Statistics show that
