THE WY no REF0RM

We shall have some mighty interest
ing reading about local affairs in a
few days. At present it is desirable
that all good citizens understand their
rights, and determine to have them.
They are nov hampered and injured
by boss rule, robbed, insulted and so
controlled by the corrupt use of the
money stolen from them, that a poor
man, no matter how capable, honest
and popular he may be, has no show
to serve the people in Office
unless he first secures the permission
of the negro boss. The court is a dan
gerous farce, the county government
rotten, and the people are worse off TO-
day, than when Crosby sought to enter
the Sheriff's office without a good
bond.
1t is the right of the people to have
economical, effective government con-
Quoted by servants of their choice,
and it is their duty to overthrow
any who assume to be their masters.
This can be done with ease if the
good citizens will aid the Democratic
party. The County Convention meets
next Tuesday to nominate a full re-
form ticket. Let all opposed TO boss
rule. and all who favor resenting the
BOAST of the boss that he can control
Warren county by money, join heartily
n the work of making the ticket, and
he fight will be as good as won.

A Drummer $40 Ahead.


Chicago Herald.
Three or four commercial travellers
were seated in the smoking car anus
ing themselves as commercial travel
ers are wont to do. Their conversa-
ton was not altogether of the price
of goods or the probabilities of orders,
but occasionally turned to the fair sex.
By the way" said one of the drum
ners, "before you boys came aboard |
was back in the next coach, and [ saw
there a magnificent girl-as pretty as a
picture. I was crazy to get acquainted
with her, but she wouldn't have any
foolishness. Run back and take a look
at her."
Of course the other drummers
sauntered back, and on their return
were loud in their praise of the stran.
gers beauty.
"Boys," said the first speaker. "I'm
willing to confess it's a clean case Of
love at first sight with me, and, lust to
get up my courage, I'll wager any one
of you, or the whole party SIS that be-
fore we get to Indianapolis I'll be sit
ting beside that girl and she'll rest her
head lovingly on my shoulder"
The other drummers were so eager
for the "snap" that they quarreled as to
which one should hold the stakes. The
four SIS bills were deposited with the
fourth man as stakeholder, and the
smitten wagerer threw away his cigar
and started for the other Car, telling
his companions to keep watch of him,
They watched him. AS he entered
the coach the fair stranger was reading

side and spoke to her. She looked up.
smiled, moved to one side to make
room for him, and when he had seated
placed her pretty head upon his shout
der as if she had a right to. In half
an hour the lucky commercial traveller
drew from his pocket another cigar,
the beauty raised her head and he re-
turned to the smoking.car.
MY wife has excused me long
enough for another smoke" he said to
his amazed companions. "She didn't
want to coma On this trip for fear
it would cost too much, but l told her
we'd make money if she would come
along. So far we are about $40 ahead
OF expenses, and by fall we expect to
have enough to buy her a sealskin

DEAD.

The sad Intelligence Of the death Of
Judge J. w. n. Harris was received in
this city yesterday by a telegram from
Gen. N. H. Harris to Gen. E. S. Butts.
Judge Harris died at the residence of
his daughter, Mrs. DR.. Broderick, in
Boston, at hoon Tuesday, the 8th inst.
The Judge had been i'll a long time,
but his death is none the less a shock
to his numerous friends in this city
and this section of the Union.
Judge Harris was. we believe, a ma
tive Of Maryland. at an early age his
parents moved to Adams county, in
this State, where he resided until he
become of age. He adopted the pro-
fession of the law, and for many years
he ranked among the leading lawyers
of the Vicksburg bar. Before the war
he rose to occupy a judgeship, which
position he filed with satisfaction to
the people and great credit to himself.
During the wal he filled an important
position in the Treasury Department
Of the Confederate States. At the
of the war he resumed the
practice of law in this city, in partner
with his brother, Gen. N. H.
where he lived until a few
7ears ago. In the last years Of his
ife, he was interested in some patents,
which absorbed almost all his time.

A RELIABLE

In its issue of September 4th the
Evening Post, under the head Of
Photographic" and Especial to the
Evening Post" contains nearly a
column descriptive of the execution,
death-throes, ETC., Of Patrick Harnet,
the Cincinnati wife-murderer, together
with the "details of the crime" and
clearing of the condemned on the
scaffold,"
Here is the opening paragraph of the
Posts soul.searching sensation /:
CINCINNATI, Sept. 1, 1885.
Patrick Hartnet was executed in
the jail yard here to day. He mani
tested a brutal and Indifferent DISPOSE
ton up to the last moment.
The above statements are true in
every particular, with the unimpor-
tant exceptions that Hartnet was not
in the Jail yard at Cincinnati on the
4th inst, but in the penitentiary at
Columbus; and that Hartnet was not
hanged on that day or any other day
subsequently or previously.
Governor Hoadley happened to pass
Though Columbia the day before the
Evening Post hanged Hartnet in the
Jail yard at Cincinnati, and granted him
a respite until September Both.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, which
came out just fourteen hours before
the Posts picturesque and romantic
account Of the hanging, contained a
special from Columbus, dated Septem-
Der Sd, announcing a stay in Hartnet's
execution, Of which the following is an
extract:
The governor was met at the depot
on the arrival of the train by Mr..
Jackson, who accompanied him to his
Office, and after the Governor had CON
suited the statute and listened to a
short statement from the attorney he
granted a respite to September Both.
This will be as early a day as the mo-
tion could be heard by the Supreme
Court, as it meets on September 21st,
will hear motions on the oath and rem
der decisions on he29fh
1t was about 9 o'clock when the re-
spite was granted and Hartnet was in.
formed of the action about 10 o'clock.

VI FAIR Association.

A meeting was held yesterday at the
Office of Marshall s. Kent, by the gen
tlemen interested in working up the
matter, and the association was or
gained under the name Of the "Vicks-
burg Fair Association" The following
gentlemen were chosen as officials and
directors, to serve until the regular
meeting of the stockholders: Presi.
dent, E. S. Butts; Secretary,
I. A. Marshall, Jr.; Treasurer,
Jas. p Roach; Directors, S.
Wachenheim, w. K. Bender and the
President, E. S. Butts. A pleasant dis
cussion was had and it was determined
to go ahead and let contracts for the
buildings and track at once, Of
which a notice appears in another COL
umn. Messrs. W.K. Bender and T. A.
Marshall, Jr. were appointed a COM
mittee to see the merchants and citi.
zens generally in regard to the sale of
stock. These gentlemen will start
to work at once and it is
to be hoped that they will
meet with a hearty reception from
all public spirited citizens. They de-
serve high praise for the energy and
tact they have displayed in getting up
IN enterprise which will undoubtedly
be Of great benefit to Vicksburg, and
will furnish amusement for thousands
of people throughout the Valley who
never have the opportunity Of going
North to enjoy fine racing and other
sports. Our people have had their
noses at the grindstone ever since
the wal and it is time we should seek
some pleasant diversion to relieve the
heavy strain on our daily lives. Vicks-
burg cannot afford to lag behind our
gallant little sister, Greenville, in fur
nishing sport for the people Of the Val
ley and the success attending the
meetings held at Greenville every
Spring and Fall guarantee a good return
for such an effort on our part. Let
every citizen come forward and show
his faith in the enterprise by a liberal
investment of his means. The high
character Of the gentlemen who have
the matter in hand is a sufficient
guarantee of its proper management
and abundant success. MI. Bender
tells us that as soon as sufficient stock
is taken he will leave for Louisville,
Lexington and other places to make
dates with frst-class racing stables
before they go through the Texas
circuit for the winter. The Secretary
will open a correspondence with the
Military Companies in the State, most
of whom have already given private
assurance of their Willingness to come.
