Dead Jurists.

In the Cemetery at Jackson rest
the remains of two OF the most dis
tlnguished Chiet Justices this State
has ever known. WM L. SHARKEY.

Justice of the High Court Of Errors

All that was mortal Of COTEs-
WORTH PINKNEY SMITH, for years the
Chief Justice of the same court,
rests not far from the grave of Shar-
KEY, with not a Gin9le stone to mark
his last earthly tenement. Some
five years siucc we stood hy the
grave of pinkuey Smith. II was
then very much sunkcn, with moth
ing TO denote that great jurist
slept there. There was neither head
nor foot stones, not even grassy
hillnck, plant or flower above him.
We inquired for the grave oil
JOHN |. GUoIN, but the sexton was
unable to show it. Another pro
f und lawyer who had for years al
mIni>tered justice and expoEnded
law from the bench, lies in an unno,
uced and unmarked grave.
In the same cemetery are the re

their lives were devoted. Each was
an honor to thrjurisprudence of Mis-

ing, exalted patriotism and spot les'
integrity. Sharkey had not only

accrs, peas l3 acres, small grain 60

acres, all this Is in the best state OF
cultivation now, and considering the
backward spring it promises an
abundant yield. The DR., as he re-
pairs his old fences, substitutes the
wire for the rails which he thinks is
cheaper in the long run, he has two
miles and half OF this fence a.
ready completed. The Dr. raises
the most of his meat for his place,
and is more or less engaged in the
stock raising business, and with his
new mower he will he better able

How 1t was Done IN Lexington

The Lexington Bulletin gives the |
following account Of how that town /
was lately carried Tor Prohibition
For sometime the prohibiIionists
Of the town of Lexington bad been
considering the matter Of petition
ing the town council against the Is
suance of any more liquOr licenses,
aud while they were so considering
two petitions were filed asking Ia,
renewal of license for one saloon and
one drug store, SO that when the
pruhibitluniSts did start out to get
signers they were frequently met by
the objection that Il have already
signed the applications of the deal
crs, and cant consistently sign
another to the contrary, but just let
these two go through and then III
/ sign against the next one" In or
Z der that the movement should not
have the appearance of warning up
on individuals, the leaders in the
matter had concluded To- accept this
proposition, and were proceeding To
get signcrs with the understanding
chat the prohibition petition should
not be filed until the applications
aforesaid had been acted on when,
unexpectedly, some other Rich
monds appeared in the field in the
persons of five whisky sellers. They
said Fair play is jewel" or words
TO that effect, land YOU advocates Of
no more license are discriminating
unjustly against lis and in favor of
these two applicants, in that yon
are about tn let them pass and then
stop us when we petition. Come
back to first principles, discard the
petition now in circulation, get up
one that makes no discrimination
and that excludes all from license as
they Apply, and we will 20 with and
help YOU TO get a majority; other
wise we Will work against YOU
Here was victory offered without the
condition of letting any more license
be issued, and the suggestion was
acted on at once. The old petition
: was abandoned, new one was
started, and one of the five dealers
! heading the list with his own name,

: ladies and canvasScd for signers In

the Town Council was called togcth-
