Far the next Democratic Governor -
Mississippi. The State might look furth-
= and do worse. Col. Inge Is man Oh
warm and generous impulses and Is ever
onen in all the measures he advocates, q
ready debater and a bold, outspoken
| friend of the people.
The Senate is . more quiet body ana
there is less debate, but still the Seha-
tors get excited sometimes. This poo!
has some good representative men IN II
and some of excellent abilities 10

each man deserving the public mention
and it is unnecessary to make comParl-
sons. What Senator or Representative
really does for his people Is apt TO De
measured at its true value at home, ana
no faithful member who really tries 70 DO
his duty to his people and to the state
at large, will fail to be remembered. we
have been much pleased with Gen. Bur.
Kilt, the Senator from Clay county lie
is man of the people and is always al
his post in their interest. The General
is unAinching in his opposition to any
thing that seems to affect the masses un
fayorably and is faithful to his home
folks. lie is the father of Frank Bur
kilt. the able editor of the Chickasaw
Messenger. Among the Senator'S may be
seen the dashing Hyer, of Holly Springs
the staid and digniied Hamilton OIL
Helmes, than whom there Is no noblei
type of man, the sensible and brave
hearted Boyd, of Tippah, who is an non
ored alumnus of the State University
and the worthy Martin, of Claiborne
one of the rising young men OF MisSls

brilliant Orr. of Chickasaw, those two

Nash, while that representative man o.
the medical fraternity Of the State, Hon
John Y. hurry. of Tippah, stands pre-
eminent as the Chesterfield OF thu
House. DIR. hurry is greatly appre
ciated for his native good sense anc
sound Judgment as well as for his accom-
plished manners. Uncle Dave Roger
keeps his weathereye open on tire Water
Valley Coart. and is as full Of horse
sense as an egg is of meat, while
the venerable Watson, of Marshall, car
ries the banner of Prohibition. Houston
of Monroe, is the champion of genera
legislation, while Baker, of Lafayette
speakes to the bills and debates well
Catherine Cole calls him the Spanish
Grandee, and pays him a nice compll
nent. WaIdrip, of Lafayette, is not
noisy member, but he is influential, al
WAYS consistent and at his pos, ant
zones about as near voting right as an!
member we can name. Williams, o
Grenada, is one of the useful members
600, and with his large experience ant
Keen satire, he amuses as well rs inter
ests whenever he speaks.
