Exposition IN WO0dyiIlc.
tClarion.l

IClarion.l
From gentleman, who has re.
Gently returned from Woodville,
we learn that Wilkinson county is
making great preparation for the
Worlds Exposition. There is
Ladies' Exposition Association at
Woodville, of which Mrs. @. p.
Nelson is chairman, and they are
working with the taste and energy
that mark a refined and cultivated
community. Among other beauti-
full specimens of art, will be o
large map of the county, on which
will be every township and sec.
tion, painted ON cream colored
satin and tastefully bordered with
a variety Of native wild flowers.
The townships will be separated
by vines and leaves. One of the
most beautiful features of this
unique map is the cotton stalk. II
is observed from the time the
seed shoots out of the ground, in
all its stages, to the fading autumn
leaves, and the hull after the cot.
ton is picked. A prominent plant
or, after minutely observing the
blooms, bolls, and indeed the EN-.
tire stalk, remarked that IL was
the most faithful and beautiful
work of art ho had ever seen.
In a picturesque woodlawn,
about one mile from Woodville,
is situated a homelike cottage,
the residence of q highly cultured
lady, and upon entering the house
you find by her side her daughter,
Wilkinson's accomplished young
artist, Miss Blanche McManus.
In addition to the above and
other articles of interest, Wilkin.
son will present eighty panels Of
different native timbers, nicely
dressed with oil finish, and on one
side hand-painted with the leaf
flower or fruit of each particular
timber. The reverse side will be
dressed and lettered with the
name of each variety.
We also learn from the Govern.
or that from an entertainment Civ.
en- while he was in Woodville, the
Ladies' Association realized over
5000.
1t may be safely predicted that
Wilkinson will be in the front
rank at the Exposition.

New York, Oct. 1S.-The Citi.

ted ex. Mayor VIM. r. Grace for
Mayor of this city, and it is well
understood that all the organiza-
tions-the County Democracy,
Irving Hall and the rest-will in.
dorse the nomination. This means
a fight against Tammany Hall
which has already put ticket in
nomination. 1t also gives the Re-
publicans q tiptop chance to make
deals, but the republicans are not
united. The Stalwarts do not
seem at all disposed to deal in the
interest of Blaine, and are in favor
Of putting.u a ticket and trying
to elect it. If the Republicans
can unite, undoubtedly a ticket
will be nominated with the hope
of winning. If a victory seems
out Of the question, then a ticket
to trade on will be nominated.

The Way to Carry an Election.
Commercial Herald. I


Tho following from the New Or
leans States shows the shameless
and desperate lengths to which
the Republicans will 90 to retain
their hold upon the power and the
purse of the government:
A specimen of the shameless
electioneering practiced by the Re.
publicans in Ohio is given in a dis
patch to the Chicago Tribune from
Cincinnati declaring that a day or
two before the late election the
Swift iron and steel works. in a
suburb of the city, employing 800
men had closed down, the pro-
prietors and directors directing q
letter to the foreman to the effect
that the mills would be shut down
till after the Ohio election; that if
the results were favorable to the
Republicans work would be resum.
ed on the day following the Ohio
election; that if the election were
favorable to the Democrats the
mills would remain closed until af.
ter the November election; that If
Blaine is chosen President work
will then be resumed; but that If
Cleveland is elected the suspen-
tion will be continued indefinitely.
If Southern Democrats should
issue similar notice to the me-
groes employed by them, there
would be O howl of Indignation
from every Republican in the land,
and Senator Hoar would introduce
a bill making it penal offense
punishable by fine and imprison-
ment. 1t makes a wonderful diff
ference with such patriots whose

A Campaign Joke.

The following aerOstieal poem
dedicated to Jas. G. Blaine, was
put offn on the Buffalo CONNER
eial, a rank Radical paper, which
published and lauded it without
detecting that it was an acrostic ;
which reads, "Vote for Cleveland,
these lines are bosh.n
Virtue hath set her crown on thee,
Our President that is to be,
Truth from thousand voices cries
Ever our champion, hOnored, wise,
Fervent in spirit, just, upright,
Ordained our Leader-the true Knight,
Rich in devotion to our cause
Challenging oft unrighteous laws.
Lifted above the common herd;
Evil Of tongue and false in word.
Vile in their hearts thee harm to work.
Envy and SANDER around them lurk,
Let the blasphemous minions jeer
And seoff and rant in language queer,
Never can words Of vile disgust
Destroy loving peoples trust,
Theirs is the infamy and shame,
Hate cannot harm thy glorious name,
Ever around the peoples choice
Shall true men gather and rejoice,
Envy shall hide in humble pain,
Love shall enjoy her own again
In the millennium that is near
No patriot shall have cause 10 fear;
Established wrongs will win their ear.
Safe is the nation where you lead,
Armed. to the war with reckless greed
Rallying oft to the battle cry
Every man to do or die,
Boldly Wen follow your command
Onward to victory. Through the land
Shouting from Oregon to Maine,
Hail to our chieftain, james G. Blaine.

srSSrwILb. BoLTvAE Co, Ms. Oct :, lssi.
To Col. Alex. Yerger, Maj. A. j.
Cassity, Col. ". I. McGhee,
Capt. H. C. Grimm:
GENTLEMEN II learn since my
return from the East that my
friends and neighbors desired TO |
nominate me as the Democratic |
candidate to represent this Dis
trict in Congress, and that you as
their representative delegates to |
the recent convention at Green
vile, earnestly sympathized in
their views. Twas not Il candidate |
for the Office, and therefore am
all the more touched by this mark /
of esteem. / have no other home
than Bolivar county, and no other
people. than her citizens. While |
have no greed for the office, am |
ambitious to be the grateful recip.
lent of their respect and friend
ship. Their property is mine, and
the converse is also true while
individual welfare is rare and ex-
ceptional in the midst of general
gloom. The trusts which in the
past they have confided to my
keeping, have earnestly done my
utmost to discharge and am happy
to regard their recent action as an
endorsement Of the past II is of
prime importance to this district
to have an able man in Congress,
and especially at this particular
junction of affairs. The superb
Government leyees throughout
this Levee District attests this
fact without further comment.
But still another issue has been
presented us in the defiant
challenge from the negroes, that
they are masters of the election
and that you, tho people you rep.
resent, and the intelligence, wealth
and worth of the District is to be
relegated to political insignif-
cance, while carnival of ignor-
ance and prejudice is proposed to
be inaugurated more UNANIMOUSLY
despicable than carpet bag rule.
Such spectacle has never in past
history been presented to the eyes
of freemen. II they succeed their
success attests our unworthiness.
Our race in the past have de.
Tended their institutions against
sacriligious invasion, and if they
do not defend them now against
this insolent but impotent threat
of supremacy, they will divorce
themselves from the sympathy of
white people everywhere.
Although your first choice was
not the choice of the convention,
the party has named a gentleman
who is the peer of any man. He
is cultured, honorable and pos
sesses all qualities fitting him
for this office. His eminent
fitness further intensified by
the fact that in the past he
has discharged in a distinguished
manner all the public trusts COM
mitted to him, makes it impera-
tive that he must be elected.
There is no question about it.
Let us stand shoulder to shoul.
der, and the issue of November
will score us great victory, glo-
orious victory at home, but a more
enduring victory at Washington,
and congratulating the convention
in the absence of all antagonisms,
the harmony of its proceedings,
and its wise selection of the nomi.
nee, am with many thanks.
Your obedient servant,
JAS. L. STOKES.

WASHINGTON COUNTY. /.

Along the upper half of the southwestern limb
of this. lozenge lies Washington county, extending
eastward from the Mississippi River to the Yazoo;
the greater part, however, bordering upon the
former river. 1t is entirely included within the alu
vial region, and is watered and drained by the Big
Sunfower River, Bogue Phaah, Lake Washington
Bayou, Black or Seeles Bayou and Deer Creek
all running south, and nearly parallel, into the
Yazoo River The Mississippi receives no drain
age water from the country direct the land along It's
borders being higher than elsewhere. The general
surface Of the country is very level and heavily tim
bered with bottom growth. In the eastern part of
the county, extending to line half way between
Sunfower River and Deer Creek, the soil known as
"white land" prevails The soil is mostly rather
sandy, but is underlad by a stiff white clay and has
growth of sweet gum and swamp-chestnut oak
The banks of the Sunfower not very high, and
have a sandy loan soil. To the westward toward
the river the buckshot cays are found. Overlying

DISCUSSING the CattIe TRAIL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Representative
Lewis Hanback,, of western Kansas, arrived
to-day, accompanied by bis daughter, Miss
Matte Hanback,, who will spend the winter
here. Mr.. Hanback, saws that the agitation
of the national cattle trail seems not TO have
spread much beyond the St. Louis conven-
ton. He doubts whether anything more
han the resolutions adopted will come of the
movement
Delegate Post, Of Wyoming, largely inter
ested in cattle, and Cheyenne banker, says:
1t is matter of absolute necessity for the
southwestern cattlemen to have trail over
whi>b the cattle can be driven north, in or
der that they may be delivered to the mar
kets In healthy condition. This
thing Of shipping cattle from the extreme
southwest has been tried enough to
show that II viii never do. II is not only
disastrous TO eaitlemen, but it is attended
with danger along the route to native cattle
and the fact has been proven beyond all
question that stock so forwarded from the ex-
IRENE southwest does not reach the market
in nj condition for food. All interests, there
fore, demand that something be done for this
trade in the way of perfecting and main
tanning permanently the trail system for get
ting southwestern cattle north"
There will probably be raised, he says, the
hue and cry that this is legislation in the in
terest Of wealthy cattle men and corporations,
but 1t is imperative, not only for the trade,
but in the interest of the beef consuming
communities.

years in the house Of corrections for swind-

great attention at the time, has, it is re-

from its advertisement, seems to be some
what similar TO the institution Of the
Woman's bank. Seven dollars per month
interest is offered on 500. with three months
interest in advance. The original Woman's
bank offered eight per cent. per month on
500 and three months interest in advance.
Large deposits were received with disastrous
results TO the depositors.
