Mississippi.

The Memphis Methodist, in a re-
cent editorial OH the whisky qucE-
ton, says:
1--WE saw them put on the train at
certain station in Mississippi.
The surrounding country looked
poor, the crops grassy, the people
mean. Those empty barrels told
the tale and explained the cause.
The nasty poison kills men and land.
1t makes desert in the home and
field. Think of the blrnt, swollen,
inf lmed, diseased stomachs into
which the accursed contents of those
twenty barrels had been poured; of
the lazy, NANCY, mast" mortals.
white and black who guzzled it
down: of the profanity, vulgarity,
stupidity it produced. No wonder
the country is poor, weedy, washed =,
worn, sad and degcnerating. This
beverage of hell is rotting the vitals
of the land. We met not long ago
in the same region of the twenty
barrels, a very distinguished public
man of Mississippi, who said to us;
oh! for thousand funerals Il day
to exterminate this lazy, good for
nothing generation 1t was pretty
hard, We admit; but since We saw
the twenty empty barrels we rather
incline to endorse it. The region is
like a section in hell, barren, blasted,
wasted, and wild from their neglect
when it ought to be like the garden
of the Lord for beauty, fertility, and
abundance. II is time TO talk plain
ly. We younger peol lie have to live
in this country. There is no use Of
minclng words. We will look any
one or a thousand of these thriftless
creatures in the face, and tell them
TO do better, or die and get OUT OF
he way. They cumher the ground
They will not improve or let other,
do SO. They are a reprOach to the
name of man, and the curse of the
South" "

Drunkards, Take Notice.

Under the law passed by the last
Legislature, Chancellors are given
great power over habitual drunkaris.
The Raymond Gazette gives a very
short and good synopsis as follows:
Chancellors are given authority
to declare who are drunkards, ap
point guardians for them and their
estates without ordering such
drunkards into confinement, or order
them into confinement without ap-
pointing guardians, or both guar
dians and asy lum may he prescribed
by the Chancellors, and when con
finement is prescribed it may he in
an asylum in or out of the State.
Upon the ssapplication of relatives,
or at the instance of friends, the
Chancellor can order a summons
issued, to be served on the alleged
drunkard at least ten days befpre
trial, and then upon the return day
thereof the cause can be heard, and
judgment awarded accordingly.

Written for The Leader
When morning lights her opal dew,
And earth is born with joy anew;
When first | rise from balmy sleep,
Ny heart with loves soft echoes deep,
All grateful sighs,
''GOd bless thee"
When monday skies beam waves of gold
Aud lifc's high hopes rise fast and bold;
When all the world is stir and din,
My soul cries secretly within,
Forgetfnl ne'er,
God bless thee"
When worn and faint sink to rest,
And weary with the world. my breast
Beats low with disappointed day;
Whilst sorrows crown my darkened way,
My heart means still,
"GOd bless thee"
In storm OF calm, mid glare or shade,
That faithful pray'r must yet be made;
Aud when l yield my latest breath,
To seal my eyes in v0iceless death,
MY thought shall be,
"God bless thee!"

MIssIssIPPI's OPPORTUNITY
Every County Of the State Should be
Represented by an Exhibit
of Its Own.

of Its Own.
Major Jonas, State Commissioner
to the Cotton Centennial Exposition,
publishes the following in the Aber-
deem Examiner:
Every county in the State should
send to the New Orleans Exposition
this winter, to be placed on eXhibi-
tion tn its credit in the Mississippi
Department, fair samples of its corn,
wheat, oats. rye, barley, rice, tobacco,
and wool. Each should be able then
and there to prove to the world its
capacity to produce all of these great
staples in excellent qualities, for
they are types and indices Of pro
gress, civilization anil prosperity by
which men of all sections and races
Judge the conditions of climate. soil.
industry and resources, of the habi
tations of their fellow men.
No heed need be given to the mat
ter of cotton exhibits. for the despotic
king will he there in all the penitude
of his power, and his existence is al
ready known anil recognized of all
men.
The forests will be represented
strongly, but the many noble speci-
mems in the timber exhibits will only
typify Mississippi az the savage
knew twill only hold the mirror
up to nature and illustrate God's
prodigality ere the woodman's axe
Invaded the realm of the Indian, the
deer and the panther.
The grasses will be fully repre-
sented, but most of them like the
trees were born of seeds scattered
by the hand of Omnipotence.
The soils will be represented, but
they will only bespeak capacity for
production and rehearse to the scien-
tist the story tf the glacial period,
and the ages of ero, ion and corr, sion
while dame nature was busy with the
alchemy of creation.
The manufacturing indurtries will
all be represented, but the world is
cogniZant of the fact that spindes
twirl most nimblv, and heavier
sledges swing. and swifter wheels re-
volve upon the sterile and rocky
shores of New England than elsewhere
in the universe.
The world wants to know what the
farmers are doing and where they
are doing it; they want to know what
We can produce, where we produce
it and the character of the pro lucts.
They cOncede our ability to raise
cotton, but they are not cognizant of
our claim to rival the West and East
and all the world in all the other
harvests that are the rewards of
honest delving in the fields.
At the Exposition we must be on
hand with our testimony; every
county must put in an appearance,
and those counties that are not
represented by products in the list
we have given above, will not be
considered capable of making them
This will be fair deduction for the
world to make, and the delinquent
counties must be prepared to abide
10y its results, no matter how untor-
tunate these results may be.
This is a fast age; an age of hurry
and rush. and men who in old times
