At the head Of cur columns tad.
placed by authority, the name 'o - ~ Is
Ethel Barksdale, for re-electioOO " non
this District for Congress. The from
session is Mr.. Barksdale's initial s.et
Congress, but he has in this sbor. 10
won q name in national counsals .iine
goes to prove that high opinion oI 'naI
tanned of his ability was not . m, suIef'
and that the great confidence d;sni1a-Ae
in him by his constituents weg ii-!ea
wise misplaced, His people nav "a "a. no 70
and trusted him, and are perfe tIv I.ea
fed, and as Jefferson county nevey aa'ls'
her back on an able and faitbf'J' urns
want, she will undoubtedly stsna '5f'
Ethel Barksdale both in the eenrau N.Y. oy
and at the polls. For the present tD, Is
is sufficient. When the canvas so,;. 'us
opens, we will be heard from furrbS,
this subject. L
Canton Picket.
From announcement published Il
where it will be seen that Han ~,
Barksdale is before the people for re ,1,'s'
ination to Congress. He won S,sat
victory in an almost helpless con,s., ,G y
this district four years ago. and n,
stituents, when they learn his stanS SOl,
is raised, will hasten to rally IN b;a-'u
port. Mai. Barksdale has renre..e sat
his state well and faithfully the ', n'
term and having been weighed and Nv. -S
worthy, it is only just that his rIa i-O
for denomination should receive cor,'I

There has been, so far As known N y,
no charge of a want of fidelity IA vs.
interests brought against him, even h.
those who would like his place and y,
do not doubt there are some of tbo..
The usage of giving a Represepts,iy,
second term, which has long obtsin,j
in this District, and indeed thuurbon,

case of Mai. Barksdale, and respect T.,
precedent will undoubtedly settle ii,

The Brandon Republican states his,
Maj Barksdale is again before the men,
pie as candidate for Congress. He h.,
made an able and faithful reuresen,,
tive. No one doubts his honesty and
capacity and he is entitled to renomj
nation. Whenever a servant of he
people has shown himself faithful 10 ,bs
trust reposed in him an endorsement Of
his services should follow. The stal,
could not have a better represents,

have never missed vote. The Sixth
and Seventh Districts have reason 70 be-
proud of them. and we have no doubt
will manifest their appreciation by r..
turning them to Congress by an over
whelmning vote.
THE FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVANT
Southern Reveille.
We place at the head Of our column,
the name of Hon. Ethel Barksdale, for
denomination and re election to Congress.
and we do itwith the strongest confidence
that it will meet with tue endorsement
and appreciation of our readers and Of
all our people. Tried and true may be
said Of him in all his political course,
and of his private life, his social relat
ions, and as a christian gentleman, no
word can be said against him, no viii.
pered thought" We have known him
for more than thirty years, aud haze
had occasion to closely observe BIZ
political status, and at every eventiul
period Of political prosecutions and party
trials and home troubles he has been
;oolly, calmly, steadfastly in the
front.
The alternative of success or defeat
mas never caused him to waver, but when
others have been chosen and he left, he
las bowed with manly resignation No
or word of reproach, or dissen,
ion, ever escaped his lips. When with
n the circle of his party friends contend.
ng for honorable position, he being left
md Others chosen, he has always yielded
and cheerfully, saying Of biz
ival, che must be great he conquered
me-"
With no effort at display, no cut aBi
Iried oratory to captivate the galleris.;

Iame over the wires, he has made b.,
iame conspicuous among the use
al, faithful working members Of Con.
'ress.
No man in Congress is more laboriOus
nd none more deeply concerned for the
Welfare OF his immediate constituents
han he. His open, frank manner, and
lis earnest business methods, have given
i'm great influence in his party, and be
as as cheerful access to the Department
nd as much of the confidence Of the
Ieads Of Departments, as any man IN
he lowe: house of his own political
aste and this has been realized by hi'
constituents in every part Of his dis
riot.
In the days Of Albert Gallatin Brown,
he people felt free to ask his aid and
is counsel in all matters of private IN
crest in which a Congressman could be
seful, and the same characteristic fact
xists as to Major Barksdale and bis
onstituents, and the people want jusi
