tCOeRESPoSDEscE CT dEE APPEAL.
SoxERvILLE, May 9.-The Hon. L. z.
Beauehamp, of Ohio, addressed the peo-
pie Of Someryille in the courthouse on
Wednesday afternoon and evening, in the
interest of prohibition. He dsscssin5ed
any political affiliation. au. announced his
object to be the submission of the ques-
ton to the people of the State without
any reference whatever tn politcs. An
organization was effected tc work up the
county, and was COMPOSED of abo1t forty
members, Number OF WHOM were ladies'.
there Was not much enthusiasm evoked.
IL u Presidential year; the Republicans
are bold, and determined, il possible, to
elect Governor, and the Democratic
party viii split on anything that offers the
most teaRible chance Of splitting, hence the
majority OF our people were afraid to
coqaet with the new maiden, no matter
how beautifully she was clad.
Col John 4. Moore, president, and Col,
\. n. Cox, director of the Na-hsilIe,
Jackson and Memphis rsilroad, were in
town to-day. These gentlemen met the
Executive Committee of our people, who
ennounced to the gentlemen that this
county was prepared to do ss much rs any
for the project. They explained in detail
the plan of their company, and assured
our people that the road would be CON
structed, and ct an early date. The route
had not been located west of the Tennes-
see river-where it il located will depend
on the people themselves manifesting the
proper zeal and financial Sesire for it. L;
is source CT aF.oEishment why the great
city OF Memphis does not make move in
the m%tUer, allowing all the honor OF
il construction to go to Nashville. The
road will benefit Memphis as much as the
latter city, and it is surprising that such
enterprising people as your citizens are do
not urge and work for the immediate
building of this road.
The Democratic Executive Committee
have been called TO meet 20 morrow uhen
they will appoint the time for the Fayette
County Democratic Convention.

If the late John Phoenix can be accepted as an

lCoRREsPoSDESCE OF THE APPEAL.
JoNEsBoRo, May l0.-It is probable that
We will soon have handsome Methodist
church erected in our city. The ladies of
the town have organized a Ladies' Aid
Society, for the purpose of raising funds
with which to build the church. The
society was delighted yesternav at receiv-
ing check for 500 from that noble,
philanthropic, whole-souled gentleman,
Jerome Hill, of the firm of Hill, Fontaine
& Co., Memphis and st. Louis, with which
TO start the fund. You may say to Mr..
Hill that he has made lasting friends of
the ladies' Of Jonesboro, and We all know
that when the ladies are on our side we
are safe. May the house of Hill, Fon-
taine & Co. be repaid a thousand times,
and right here | will add that any other
generous minded merchants of Memphis
who may wish to initiate Mr.. Hills ex-
ample will not meet any very decided op.
position. We expect to build $4,000
church.

disease. He did not give his name.
We are now enjoying some fine spring
weather, and our farmers being much be-
hind in planting their crops, arc making
good use OF their time, which makes bust
ness quite dull.
Political matters in our State are be-
ginning to assume lively attitude. judi
kins has withdrawn from the race for
Governor. This leaves Frolich, Hughes
and Fletcher in the field for the Demo-
cratic nomination. They are billed to
speak here on June 5th. We antici.
pate good time. Some OF those opposed
to Jake Frolich are makingi it rather warm
for that gentleman, digging up his record
as Secretary of State. They say Jacob has
been guilty of little Irregularities, and
they propose to let the dear people know
it before he is elevated to the highest
office within the gift of the people.
The social event Of the season was the
marriage here. at the Baptist church last
Tuesday evening, of r. s. Culberhouse, a
prominent young merchant of this town,
to Miss Willie Wooten, late of Senatobia,
Miss, the Rev. w. R. Foster officiating.
The contracting parties are both quite
young, the bride being only sixteen, but
none the less handso ne. She was elegant
ly attired in blue silk, and was perfect
type of loveliness. There were numerous
handsome presents. We wish the groom
and his bride long life OF unalloyed hap
piness. A. L. NJ.

AEEHPLAls TRUEaS.

There are three or four propositions
in the struggle for existence that are in
dispulable:
/. No man, no matter what condi-
ton he Was born to, has moral right
to be IDLE. Idleness on the part Of any
one, be be rich or poor, is q disgrace, II
sin.
>, The aim of all, especially Of young
men starting in life, should be indepen-
dence. This is gained when one earn
his bread aud butter, whether it be by
the rem or the currycomb, by the ton
que or the spade, by the lancet or tn,
backing brush-nO matter how.
g. Al labor being honorable, it is tn,
duly of every dependent person t"
swallow his pride and 6anish his per
sonal notions by accepting the first
place that will enable him to earn hi
living.
1. This much attained, success even
OF the highest nature becomes possible,
ifhe does his duty fsithTulty and keep
his eyes open for something better, tax.
ing care, Of course, not to let go of the
place thai has given him the boon o.
independence until he has sure gril
on better chance.
There Is work in the world for every
body; there certainly is work enough
10. a,,arrbnIx, In thio pa,N opJ ,xroyy;,, ~,
country; and if everybody would take
what he can get readily there would
soon be wonderful and gratifying de
crease in the idleness that afflICts the
country. Instead OF waiting for clerk
ships or sincures, or political appoint
mentS or places indoors, let the man
who has his living to earn, take what
ever he can get. The faithful aud com
petent man will not stay in an undesir-
able employment; ne will rise ~ rapid
ly a. his merits ard service justify, and
if he starts from the bottom his chance
are in no wise impaired. 1t is false
pride, in short, that keeps men out Of
work. The man who is ready to take
whatever employment ia at hsnd-who
is willing to do any work rather than b.
dependent, is never without employ
ment. Pride Of this kind is worse than
bad habits, and il we could
aualyze the situation We would
doubtless find that it is at the
bottom, not only of much idleness and
misery, but of no little cruelty and
crime. Ifyoung men would drive out
false pride and resolve to wrest from the
world an honest living, there would be
very few human wrecSs, even among
the weakly.

LEAP.YEAR AND THE LOVERS.

The gloomy report come up from
Alabama that the number Of marriages
in the State since the beginning of the
year is unusually small as compared
with the statistics of a year ago. With
it was the explanation that the young
ladies are afraid to accept lest it should
lie supposed that their engagement was
1.-THE result Of leap year." The Alabama
ladies are entirely wrong. They should
not allow leap year to interfere in any
way with their engagements. 1t is au
injustice to every loving Albanian, to
every clergyman and to innumerable
fathers and mothers-in-law. 1t is cruel
to keep the young chivalry of that
state in such suspense: cruel to keep the
ministers out of their fees and to deprive
the mothers of their prospective
daughters-in law. The young Ladder
must at once take a new departure
