Mayor W. E. Love has submitted
to the City Council completed res
port of his Office as Treasurer of
Aberdeen, during his entire term as
Mayor, which is now in the hands of
the finance committee and will doubt
less be found correct. 1t shows a
balance due the city and in bank, of
over nine thousand dollars. Since
the first Of January he has paid
S1,655 on account of rent, salaries of
teachers and other expenses of the
public schools: $3.50 attorneys fees
in the case Of the Memphis & Selma
Railroad Company against the city;
5000 first payment and interest on
the Mayors Office property purchas-
ed last year, besides the thousand
and one other expenses incident to
the city administration. The Board
of Aldermen as at present constitu-
ted guard the interests of the tax
payers with as much fidelity and
vigilance as could be bestowed upon
their own private affairs.

CONN UTED.

The sentence of John Nelson, col
ored, who was to have been hanged
in this city on the 18th, has been
committed to imprisonment in the
penitentiary for life. Nelson was
convicted in the Monroe county Cir
cult Court, for the murder Of his
wife,and sentenced to death. The case
was carried to the Supreme Court
where the action of the lower court
was sustained and Tuesday, the 18th
of March fixed as the day Of execu.
ton; but Governor Lowry, responds
ing to petition, committed the sem
tence to ninety, nine years at hard
labor.
And thus the thropg and multi
tude who would satitiate morbid Gu
riosity and crafty the baser passions
have been deprived the felicitous
pleasure of witnessing a public
hanging.

PORT OF ABERDEEN.

Capts. L. and j. r. Johnson s
steamer, Lille Lou, Capt. Ben New.
bold at the helm, arrived at our
wharf on Monday afternoon, from
Town Creek, with 107 bales of cot,
ton for Aberdeen and 700 sacks seed
for the Columbus oil mill.
There is at present a fine stage of
water, and Captain Newbold, who
has had charge of the appropriations
for the Tombigbee and Town Greek,
reports that the latter, since the ex-
penditure of so, 500 upon it's i'm
provement, is in better condition
than the river for high water naviga.
ton, and that an equal additional
amount would render it as pretty a
water course for small craft at high
stage as he knows OF. He made the
run of thirty.fve miles from its
mouth to Camargo in three hours,
including one or two landings. He
is also anxious for an annual appro-
priation of two thousand dollars for
the Tombigbee north of Aberdeen,
believing that that amount could be
expended to great advantage, and
that it would be ample.

AN act has passed the Legislature,
exempting the capital to be employed
by the Aberdeen Masonic Lodge in
erecting a new building and Lodge
room, from taxation for a number of
years, and ere this has probably re-
ceived the Governors approval. The
exemption will,we understand, amount
to saving to that benevolent insti-
tuition, of about six hundred dollars
year in the way of interest, and will
greatly facilitate matters with regard
to the erection of the new building.

AMONG other visitors to the city
on Monday and Tuesday, we were

chants and planters, of Fulton.
These gentlemen who have hereto
fore traded with Verona, Tupelo,
Baldwin and other stations on the
main line of the Mobile and Ohio

river in boating season, brought their
cotton to this market on the Lille
Lou,and we hope that our merchants,
commission houses and business men
generally extended them warm
welcome and gave such encourage,
ment as will secure their business in
future. They are live gentlemen
and worthy of every courtesy.

Electric Light Company.

A meeting of citizens was held at the
Mayors Office on Monday afternoon,
with the object Of organizing an
Electric Light Company. Hon. L.
E. Houston was called to the chair
and Mr. F. P. Jinkins requested to
act as Secretary. Statements were
made by several parties with refer
ence to amount of capital required,
the feasibility of introducing the
electric light, ETC., etc., Mr.. A. @.
Reece, of the Cleveland Brush Light
Company, being among the speakers.
At the conclusion a company, pro-
ceeding under charter granted last

ital of $4,000, and the following
officers and Board Of Directors were
elected:
President. W. Eckford.
Secretary and Treasurer-F. P.

sured that the electric lights will il,

various portions of the State. That

the several Lodges which he has WIS.,

WITH two railroads, Federal
Court building costing $4,000,
Electric Lights, Opera House, Cotton
Compress, and Cotton Seed Oil Mills,
which are already assured,to be sup
plemented with various and sundry
other improvements and industries
as a natural consequence, Aberdeen
will have something substantial upon
which to base large pretensions, and
her reputation will rapidly extend to
wider limits than those already en-
ioyed as a commercial metropolis
and a city ofprogress and enterprise.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT.


The entertainment at Free School
Hall on Wednesday night, the 18th
inst, by Capt. Emmett L. Ross, assist
ed by musicians of the city, for the
benefit Of the Ladies' Aid Society of
the M. E. Church, was attended by
an intelligent and appreciative audi
ence, and was a decided success.
The programme embraced readings
and recitations by Captain Ross, and
vocal and instrumental music, which
were SO happily interspersed as to
relieve the occasion of anything like
monotony, even if there were those
present who could have tired of
either feature. Capt. Ross is bril-
liant writer of both prose and poetry,
and his recitations, in addition to an
easy and graceful delivery, possess
the merit of being entirely original
in composition, and are rehearsed
upon the stage with the authors own
happy conception. He has an i'm
mense store of productions from his
own pen, embracing the humorous
and pathetic, from which he gave
the audience on this occasion several
pieces that were received with rap
turous applause; among them we're
southland" "The Flea" "The Bee,"
"The Sock that Baby Wore," and
very touching poem dedicated to
Admiral Semmes, of the Confederate
Naval vessel, Alabama.
The musicians who took part in the
entertainment and contributed SO
much to its success, were Mrs. w. G.
Sykes, Mrs. E. L. Sykes, Mrs. S. J.
Shields, Misses Josie Bumpass and
Made Montgomery, and Mayor w.
E. Love; w. H. Kidd, and E. H. and
F. W. Saunders, by whom the au-
dience was treated to delightful vocal
solos, instrumental duets; quartettes,
and chorouses.

WHAT about that artesian well at
West Point? Has the water oonclud-
ed to come to the surface yet, without
pumping? The Leader has been
ominously silent upon the subject of
late, and we begin to fear that the
scheme has not been successful.
Surely dame Nature who has been 50
prodigal in supplying the dozen ar
tesian wells of Aberdeen with out
flowing streams, can afford to bless
West Point with one, even though it
refused to respond to the searching
and far-roaching efforts of Meridian
and Okolona.

solicitations from all the leading
