A DARING ELOPEMENT.
Walthall Warden.

Walthall Warden.
The village of Clayton, in Raburn
county, which used to be the head
quarters of the Indians in olden tim es
is just now enjoying sensational
modern elopement. Mrs Eva Long,
a maiden of Is, has enthralled the
heart of Mr.. Thomas Mcconnell, aged
nineteen. But the parents of each had
other prospects in view for their chill
dren, and loves course was very rug
ged. Miss Eva was famous horse
woman. While riding with her father
on Monday, she urged her horse, and
when some distance ahead, the father
saw that she was joined by her lover
who had evidently been in waiting for
her. They put out full spead, and
reaching the residence of Squire
Wall, were pronounced man and wife
as the pursuing father rode up. He
made the best of the case, and the
three rode back home, where the faith
. narrated the adventure as a good
joke.

Aberdeen, Miss.

The completion of the new rail-

prosperity, We are informed that a
large stave and shingle factory will
be established there very soon, and

The Southern Exposition at
Louisville, NY.

The enterprise, energy, and liber-
atty of the city Of Louisville have
been wonderfully exhibited in the
Southern Exposition. This is the
largest enterprise ever organized and
maintained in this country by indi-
vidual efforts.
This year its attractions are amaz-
ing. 1t has Cappa's and Gilmore's
Bands from New York, thus assuring
the most beautiful music in the world,
The Art Gallery will comprise the
choicest selection of American pic.
lures ever gathered together in
America.
The buildings cover Is acres.
The Live Stock exhibit willAclipse
anything the world ever saw. Lon
don's Royal Stock Show led anything
of the kind previously made, but
Louisville's Southern Exposition will
hereafter head the list of Stock Elk
hibits.
One million dollars worth of horses
will stand in line, no less than an
eighth of a mile in length. 1t is a
sight worth many miles of travel to
see.
The fireworks will be in charge of
James Paine, of London, with whom,
at great expense, an arrangement has
been made to produce in Louisville,
pyrotechnic displays fully equal to
those given at the royal exhibitions
in Europe, and at Coney Island
where hundreds of thousands wit
messed them nightly. The grandeur
of Paine's exhibitions can not be de-
scribed. They must be seen to be
appreciated. Each evenings exhi-
bition is closed with some splendid
scene, like the Boml artlment of
Alexandria, Battle OF Yorktown,
Pyramids of Egypt, etc.
There is to be great Competitive
Military Drill, and other features of
no less merit.
The Exposition will open August
16, close October %, and railroad
tickets from all points to Louisville
and return may be had for one fare.

Sisters Of Charity at TOulOn.

N. Y. Telegram
While the strong men fled in wild
dismay before the breth of the scourge
in The south of France, and all Europe
was convulsed with terror at the dark
shadow of pestilence, cast over the
tideless waters of the Mediterranean,
few gentle women remained at the
post Of duty, post far more danger
GUS and trying than the forlorn hope
in the deadly breach of the hollow
square at the Wells of Teb. Inspired
solely by the sense of duty, without
extraneous incentives to heroism, the
Sisters of Charity moved among the
sick and dying, soothing the brow of
the sufferer on which the dews of
death were fast gathering, and pre-
pairing many soul for its journey
across the dark river. One by one
they persisted at their post of duty,
yet there was no flinching on the part
of their surviving sisters. When the
hand that prepared the cooling
draught for the parched and swollen
lips OF the cholera stricken patient,
grew stiff and cold in the clasp of the
plague another took its place unhesi-
tatingly. All honor to the noble Sis
tiers who labored so faithfully in the
lazarets Of Toulon, and also to the
noble band of physicians who faced
death with them.

A correspondent writing from Old
Point Comfort, thus speaks of Miss
Julia jackson, the only daughter Of
Stonewall Jackson. "She is slight
blue-eyed girl, with fair hair, dark
eyebrows and long lashes, which give
strength and character to her mobile,
changing face. She is quite an ac-
complished young lady, swims like a
fish, shoots like rifeman, and rides
like a Kentucky belle, in her gray
Confederate uniform, trimmed with
large brass buttons. 1t is very pref
ty to see the Difference paid the widow
and only child of their lost leader by
all Southern men and women who
may chance to meet them"

by the late DR.. Stone of New Orleans
to Generals Taylor and Twisgs and
Surgeon Lawson, upon the ground:
"Why, gentlemen" said he, "you
have here porous soil under foot;
IA beautiful sky overhead; the Gulf
in front Of You for bathing, sailing,
fishing, Grabbing and oystering; you
have the purest of air off of the salt
water and the piney woods in your
rear. Why gentlemen l believe |

Completion of the Canton. Aber-
deem Il Nashville Railroad.

To the Editor of the Southern Industrial Record
Friday, July Is, was golden day
in the history of Aberdeen. 1t saw
the completion, and celebration of
the same, of the Canton, Aberdeen &
Nashville railroad the extension of
the Illinois Central sys EN-, giving
Aberdeen direct connection with
New Orleans. The lively and ener-
getic little city, which is fortunat Q
in being the abode of a noble, cul.
tured and hospitable people, put on
its holiday dress. Having procured
a spike, full size, of gold, the daughter
of its worthy Mayor drove the same;
when it was redrawn and presented
to Captain John q. Mann. the chief
engineer of the Illinois Central
branches and superintendent of the
Mississippi division of that railroad.
Capt. Mann, one of the most accom-
plished engineers in the country, on
receiving the spike made an appro,
pirate answer. The Hon. L. E.
Houston presented the spike to Capt.
Mann with an eloquent address.
The second presentation was red
flag; and last, though not least, Mr..
Jucob Gattman, who has been the
greatest and most energetic friend
of the road, from its inception to
the present time, and in whose honor
locomotive No. l has been named.
presented Mr.. J l.. White, Gen. NJ
NJ. of the Illinois Central, South,
with beautiful silk national fl e.
Next followed the banquet, cham
payne corks flying, and the matter
ended in a ball at the Gordon House.
Trains will be run regularly after
August 1st. Mr., j. G. Kemp, agent
of the Illinois Central at Grenada, is
promoted to superintendent of the
branch, which is 1861 miles in length
Capt. j &C. Martin is road master
ana Mr.. Dinkins agent at this place
The road is built in a substantial
manner, laid with steel and has all
appointments first class.
Aberdeen has brilliant future be-
fore her. Without doubt the near
future will result in the extension of
this railroad to Chattanooga, or
some other point, for an eastern con-
nection and this line will traverse
the best coal and iron region of Ala.

duration was but few seconds, yet
the scare lasted for hours afterwards

Tried Oh the Train.
Letter to the Pittsburg Dispatch.

Letter to the Pittsburg Dispatch.
One of the most novel trials on re-
cord took place on passenger train
of the Memphis and Little Rock Rail-
road, between Lonoke and Little
Rock. Judge E. 7. V Vaughan, of the
Circuit Court, was on the train. After
it left Lonoke county man named
G. B. Farmer, of that county, was
arrested by deputy sheriff. The
charge against the prisoner was for
carrying slungshot. The law in
Arkansas against carrying deadly
weapons is rigidly enforced. When
the prisoner learned that Judge
Vaughan WAS on the train he went to
him and begged for an immediate
trial. He said that his wife was sick,
and he did not want to be taken
away from her. The learned Judge
is character in his way, and said he
would try HIM at once. He de-
clared the court open for bus
lness, and called Farmer to the wit
ness box-that is, to seat in the car
and asked him whether he desired
to plead guilty or not. The passen.
gers collected around this novel court,
and watched the proceedings from
various perches on seat-rails and from
the isle. Farmer replied: "Your
Honor, desire to plead guilty"
Gall right" continued the Judge;
"the prisoner pleads guilty. assess
the fine at $40. MI. Sheriff, take the
prisoner"
This ended the brief trial, and the
prisoner paid his $40 to the Sheriff.
AT the next station he got off the
train to make his may home as quick
Iy as possible to see his sick wife.
This is only case of justice on the
wing of which there is any record,

not in fact owe single dollar, for
the $3.50 mainly represents current
