The Yazoo Valley Branch.

The contracts for the building of the
Yazoo Valley branch of the Illinois
Central Railroad to Memphis were
awarded to nearly fifty different con-
tractors. 1t is estimated that the
construction of the road will entail an
outlay of fully million dollars. The
road viii extend through the Yazoo
Valley, and the bridging and trestling
is considerable. The contract for
building the 20 miles of the road was
let by Capt. j. G.. Mann, of Jackson,
Chief Engineer of the road.
Sixty miles of this route runs through
dense swamp and woods, and only
eleven mills of it is through an open
country. The rates for which this
work was let ranged from Is to Is cents.
Capt. j. B. Dabney of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad says the contracts all
specify that their work is to be eomplet-
ed by June l, 18S6.-N. o. Picoyu,e.

A Good Days Work.

The ticket nominated by the Demo-
Gratis of Kinds County, on Monday,
is admirable in many respects, and the
Convention was one of the most har-
monious that ever assembled. In fact
it were scarcely possible that ike
number of men coming together from
different neighborhoods of as large a
county as Kinds, could do better work,
do it in a shorter space of time, and
with as few manifestations of discord.
We have often had occasion to feel
proud of the Democrats of Kinds
county-proud Of their discipline and
proud of their loyalty and devotion to
their party, and this feeling of pride
is but intensified when, as the years roll
by, we find them as loyal, as devoted
and as true as they were when the fire:
of rs were still ablaze.
We congratulate the people of the
county that the affairs Of the dominant
party have been committed to man
agement that has always been so wise
so discreet and SO conciIiatory, and We
can point with enviable pride to tbs
fact that the year 1885 finds the Demo
cratic party here as free from factions
and factional strife as it was in 1875.
Would that as much could be said o
I every county in the State.
The Convention was in session but
little more than three hours, durini
which all the business which it wa
called to transact was dispatched harmc
niously and thoroughly, the Chairman
the Hon. Geo. w. Harper, presidin
, with admirable grace and dignity.
The official proceedings, publishe
: elsewhere, give a full account of a
that was done. We regret that we ar
unable to give the votes by precincts 0
: each cf the ballots, but we have neitht
, time nor space. In our next issue "
may publish the ballot for Represent
f tives and for Sheriff, az they have bee
e furnished us.
a OF the ticket we will speak more ;
f length hereafter, contenting ourselv'
: now with saying that from top to bottol
v it is frstclass A ticket that any Den
ocrat can cheerfully and enthusiasticall
: support, and that should be and will
l. elected by good round majority.

THE trade edition-October 1-of the
Yasoo Sentinel, is somewhat marvellous
achievement in Mississippi journalism
and is creditable not only to the enter
prising publishers, Messrs. HENRY 8
MoTr, but to the business men of YazoC
City, who have SO literally patronizet
this special issue of the Sentinel. NJ
less than fifty columns are occupied
with handsomely displayed advertise
ments. The city and towns of Yazoo
and the county generally, are writer
up in readable and sensible style-tht
whole making an attractive and valu
able exhibit of the resources of tn,
county, and its advantages in an agri
cultural, commercial and educationa
way.
After the foregoing was written, VT
received the Yazoo City Herald with il
eight ample pages and seventy-two well
filed columns. Such is the "Yazot
plan," and we rather like it.

In Defence of an Upright Judge.

that every indulgence possible was shown
his counsel consistent with the law, and
that Judge Mayors did not manifest il
any manner any "vindictive" or BAG
feeling towards Martin. Such charge
by Martin was entirely gratuitous, un
founded in fact, and could only emanatt
from a convicted murderer who hoped
to palliate his great sin by laying The

Increasing Demand For Silver

Because gold, owing to its scarcity
and the manipulation of capitalists and
Shylocks has increased in value, wise
acres in finance are asserting that the
standard silver dollar has deprecated
and is not an "honest" dollar. They dc
not know, or knowing will not admit
that the United States silver dollar con
tains more grains of pure metal thar
the silver dollar coined by any other
country on the globe.
Another absurd thing these wiseacres
are saying, is, that the demand for the
silver dollar is diminished-that the
"people don't want it" and all that sorr
of stuff. The trouble is, that the people
can't get enough of it. Here is a suffi
cient answer to the statement that the
people will not have it. 1t is from the
Washington Post of September 90
which speakes by authority:
Statements prepared at the Treasury
Department show that the amount o.
silver dollars put into circulation direct
ly from the minis during the past tive
or three months is nearly double the
amount similarly issued during tn,
corresponding period of last year. Th'
ending September 26, was 1885, SIT a
against 1856, 1916 issued during the cor
responding period of last year.

HARRIsroN. Mss. Sept. %.

Your information, that at the Jefferson
county convention yesterday the Oar
den delegates withdrew is incorrect.
The representation in said convention
being based on an unjust and Ubiquitous
apportionment, it was moved and car
ried by vote of twenty-seven and a
half to twenty -four and half, that the
convention be dissolved, and primary
election ordered.
The chairman, unjustly, arbitrarily
and extremely partisan like, decided the
convention had no right to go behind
the action of the Executive Committee.
Whereupon delegates from districts
Nos. l, 2 and 3, representing two-thirds
of the Democracy of Jefferson county
withdrew, refusing to recognize the
action of the convention as legal and
binding, and demanded that said Exc
cutive Committee, order a primary,
according to the expressed will of ma
jority of the Democracy.

Governor Lowry was then introduced

speech was able, and as it was the first
opportunity presented to him, he made
good use of the time, and clearly and

ton. The people are entirely satisfied

friends confirmed in their opinion that

ONE of the most significant pieces of
news that we have been called upon to re-
cord as to the progress being made by wo-
men, comes to us from Oxferd, Miss, where,
we learn, that Miss Sallie MCGEE Isom has
been elected to fill the chair of elo-
cution and oratory in the University of
Mississippi. This advance, so creditable to
Miss Isom as well as to the University, is
the natural outcome Of the liberal policy
toward women initiated by Gen Stewar-
and pursued by him so successfully. Mist
sissippi now stands on an equality with
the most advanced States of the North as
to provision for the education of women.
and can point with especial pride to
Miss Isom's present position as a proof
that within her borders women have an
open field and the freest scope for growth
and expansion in competition with men.
Miss Isom is honored above all of her sex
as member of a faculty that stands
among the best of the. highest educational
institutions OF the country. Memphis

We have been favored with copies of
the daily reports of the proceedings of
the Sovereign Grand Lodge Of Odd Eel
lows. Having been for many years
identified with the Order, we have ex-
amined these proceedings with some
care, and viii venture comment or two
for the good of the Order"
The reports show a gratifying increase
in memb ership over the preceding year,
1870, 359 in the Lodge branch, and
3405in the Patriarchal branch-the grand
aggregate of the former being sic, 230,
and of the latter "a, PSF. The total
relief expended in 1884 by the 1915
Lodges and 1884 Encampments amounted
to the grand sum of $2,111, 926.S6;
and the total income of these bodies
for the year amounted to s5,274, 307 SO.
In the North and West, the Order is
generally very prosperous. In the South
it has been languishing since the war
period. In Pennsylvania, for instance,
the membership is nearly ninety thous-
and, while in Mississippi it does not
exceed twelve hundred. The Order re-
cruited somewhat in Mississippi last year,
and the reports at the annual session at
Yazoo City in May were very encour.
