JAMES G. BLAINE.

1t is now drawing near the time, for the
people to decide who shall be the next
President. 1 take liberty of giving wo-
mans humble opinion on the subject:
Selecting our Chief Executive, is a mat
ter of the most important consideration
because it is the best interests ofthe entire
country that is to be considered, and per-
sonal feelings should be put aside to ac-
complished it.
In electing Mr.. Blaine the people will
be fortunate in having an officer in power
and trust of high integrity and undoubted
patriotism. His labors as a public man
have always been incessant and untiring.
Ready in emergency, quick to note the
public pulse keen observer of men and
things he controls the masses and imbues
his countryInen with his own unswerving
loyalty. He is emphatically the friend of
the people, as President he will provide
for their needs and further their interests.
In ali his acts as a statesman his labors
Thave been incessant day and night, in sea-
son and out of season, he has never for one
moment faltered in his duties and his en-
tire public record has been distinguished
for judiciousness, care, economy, and hui
manity. He has been able to win the
highest opinions of his fellow citizens and
to hold it. Most affahle of men he makes
hosts Of friends among those with whom
he comes in contact. Conservative and
prudent in maturing measurs, yet prompt
and vigorous in action when occasion de-
mandsit. Mr.. Blaine has qualities that
especially fit him to be Chief Executive.
He has already shown his power as a
statesman, and developed an exceptional
aptitude for the comprehension and man
agement of the intricate and perplexing
problems of our country's vast necessities.
An earnest public spirited man, of good
Judgment, quick IN perception, generally
correct in his conclusions, prompt in his
efforts to advance measures which he be-
lieves will prove for the good and welfare
of his countrymen at large, and broad. in
his views of the requirements of the hour.
Such man is worthy of the high office
of President of the United States, he has
proved it. and why not show proper
gratitude by electing him to an office to
j
satisfaction to all. He has been we'll tried,
all must know his ability. AS a public
servant, he has always dealt openly and
honestly, and endeavored to perform all
duties incumbent upon his public posi-
Lion, deciding carefully the test interests
of all the people, with no disposition to
evade any responsibility or ignore any
reasonable demand made on him by his
countrymen. This public term of service
covers term of years, full ofactive labor,
and prompt, discreet, and decisive states
manship. Such man would prove him
self to be worthy color bearer, of the |
emblem that waves over our Great |
Republic. Under his wise craftsmanship,
aided by the Almighty, we will go on
prospecting, and be an honor to ourselves,
and noble example to the entire civil
lied world. AMELIA THRoPP.

A Sad Accident.

met with most distressing and pain.
ful accident With some other small
boys he was at play in his mothers
yard, they having a bow and arrow
with which they were shooting. Fred.

up the arrow and threw it to him, the
blunt end striking him in the left eye,
bursting the eye.ball. DIR. Morrow
was summoned, and, although the in.
jury was so painful that a thorough
examination could not be made, he
pronounced the eye destroyed. DR..
Arters, an oculist of Oil City, was
sent for, and on Thursday came up
and removed the ball, and Freddie is
now gaining rapidly and will soon be
around again. The disfguring of this
bright little boy is nothing compared
with the loss of the eye, and it should
prove an everlasting warning to all
boys to be ever ON their guard while
at play.

SUNRISE.
BY A. @. ]

Over the hilltops the sun
Is rising, to brighten the day,
Far out OH the East, he is flinging,
His banners of crimson away.
Great bars of deep violet and gold,
The bright azure of heaven adorning.
While the lark, from the meadow is
rising
To welcome the sunrise of morning.
The white clouds floating so idly
Are bathed in cascade of light,
Like castles of fairy land seeming,
Wove from web ofgold meshes bright
The hill tops he blesses in rising,
And weaves them chaplet of light,
While from the river he's lifting,
Its vapory shroud of the night.
The birds FROM the verdant deep Wild
wood
Are singing their merriest lay;
To welcome the sunrise of morning
They sing their thanks all day.
The yellow-tOpped mullen is nodding
It's broad velvet verdure to him,
To welcome the sunrise of morning
In silent through love-laden hymn.
He kisses the dew-laden flowers,
And bids their weeping TO cease;
Look up TO heaven and smile,
Ye emblems of beauty and peace.

.
Subtract this total of 1895 from
the total amount of 17,9S7.63 collected,
and we have the small balance in excess
OF current County expenses of $613.T.
1t is variously estimated that the total
Indebtedness of the County is from
$40, coo to $4,000, represented by bonds
and County warrants issued prior to De-
cember 31st, 1888. A call has BEEN made
by the Board of Supervisors for the reg
istration of all such warrants by the 10th
day of September, at which time we will
be able to ascertain the exact amount due
ON this score, and who the warrant-hold-
ers are.
Granting that the estimates are ap-
proximately correct, it will be long
time before the small excess shown above
our current expenses can wipe out the old
debt, and with the rate of taxation al
ready raised to the extreme limit fixed by
law, it is of the utmost importance for
our Board to see that all property is as
sessed at what it would bring on the
market, and for our Collector, to use the
utmost diligence in collecting all taxes.
The Brookhaven leader., 1884-07-31

The completion Of the New Orleans and
Northeastern Railroad last year ON our
east and the completion within the last
week Of the Mississippi Valley Railroad
between New Orleans aud vicksburg on
our west, is likely to cause serious inroads
upon the trade Of this city, unless our
business men arouse themselves to q Just
appreciation Of the situation, and use ev-
cry exertion and present every induce
ment possible to the trade that has been
thus tapped by the new lines Of travel.
One Of our leading merchants remarked
to us few days since that the North
eastern road has been already perceptibly
drawing on Lawrence county trade that
has heretofore been enjoyed by Brookha-
ven, and similar results are now likely to
follow regarding the trade on our west.
These are facts not to be lightly ignor-
ed. 1t will not do for our town to retire
terTapin-like into its shell and make no
effort to fully maintain and even 60 be-
yond Its former commercial importance.
As q place of residence we hold that
Brookhaven possesses advantages superb
or to any town between Jackson and New
Orleans, and it is 10 less a matter of fact
that it can offer just as good, and in many
cases greater, inducements to the coun-
try trade as any town on the Illinois
Central, or any other road in South Mis-
sissippi. In fact, being an old town,
with its commercial character already
favorably established in the commercial
world, it will be years before new towns
on the new roads will be in a condition
to successfully compete with it. These
facts we shall continue to lay before the
public from time to time, but our mer-
chants must move in the matter by indi-
vidual effort. They can help themselves
and their town too, by showing through
their local press what they are doing and
what they propose to do for those who
favor Brookhaven with their patronage.
Editorial affirmation will not do it all,
however anxious and willing we may be,
and besides, a newspaper, no more than
any other laborer, cannot afford to work
for nothing all the time and board and
clothe itself Let us work hand-in-hand
for the building up of our beautiful little
city and its commercial interests.
