Who win be the Next Governor.

EDITORS CLARION Pardon the writer
for addressing a few lines to your wide
ly circulated journal. | am no politi-
clan, but the absorbing and serious ques-
ton Who shall be the next Governor of
Mississippi, should interest everyone.
We have nothing against the present
incumbent, outside of the present polit-
zeal status, but we do object to this
secoad teyal business.
And there are hundreds uho viii not
vote for Lowry, for this same reason.
1t is a serious objection and one that
the Democratic party will fight manful-
" against. 1t is antagonistic to the
great principles OF democracy, and is
certain to defeat Governor Lowry at
the next election.
There is another objection, which Is
not quite so strong, but it is not very
weak. Economy, retrenchment and re-
form are the great watchwOrds of the
Democratic party. They are embodied
in the platform, they we're emblazoned
on democratic banners and were used 10y
politicians from the stump. Has the
present Governor studied economy? We
have no way Of judging only by stats
tics. Figures can't lie. They are power
| full arguments-as potent as a twO-edged
sword, cutting through joints and mar
row.
The Stone Administration added 81 900,
600 to the Treasury, ardile the L9s7y al
aiaistrati0a has erpeaded $3.50, 600 NOR
than lcas placed into the Treasury.
Here is a great contrast. Who is tt
| blame? Figures show that the money
has been expended. 10 whom does tn,
money belong? To the people. Wher,
does the money come from? By taxin!
the people. Then have not the peopl,
the right to complain? The people vii
| answer at the next election.
| Such an economic administration a
that of ex-Gov. Stone should be reward
ed. Although the administration 0
Gov. Lowry may have been satislactor.
to some in the cardinal principles 0
Iretrenchment and reform, it will no
bear too close sitting. We don't know
whether Stone desires to be Governo
again or not, but we think the peopl
could not do better than to place hin
again in nomination. Competent, pa
triotic, economical, firm. He has Away
served the people to the best of hi
ability. IF he never serves them agair
his last executive administration will b
a monument to his name more endurin
than brass. COPIAH.

a mule belonging to appellee was
found dead near the track of the appel
liant, with every indication that it had
been killed by passing train. At the
trial, no witness was produced to show
the actual circumstances of the killing.
The presumption Of the want Of reason
able skill and care on the part of the
servants of the appellant must therefore
prevail. Code, section 1859. Under
this section, a railroad company cannot
escape liability by relying on presump-
tons or conjectures. It,must show the
facts attending the injury, and exoner-
ate itself. The facts did not appear in
the case, and, for all that was shown, the
mule may have been killed through the
negligence of the appellant; and the
appellant must suffer the consequence of
its failure to show the circumstances.

rest from thy labor, to the envy of
thy neighbors.
5th. Thou shat honor thy father

The Chicken Cholera.

A friend residing near Silver lake
reports the cholera raging among
the fowls in his neighborhood to an
alarming extent. He said that one
of his neighbors had lost over fifty
hens in less than one week and
othess had suffered losses equally
as great from this disease.
Chicken cholera is not slow in
doing its work of devastation and
when it invades the poultry yard,
it is not easily eradicated. The
disease originates from v. rious eau
ses. but generally from lnattention.
Fowls to be healthy and produc-
tive need fresh water in abundance
and should be fed regularly. When
the cholera has made Its appear
ance among fowls, the safest plan
is to kill all the chickens that show
the least sign Of unhealthiness and
their remains should be buried deep
into the ground. Prevention, how
ever is better than cure, and if the
hen houses are kept thoroughly
clean and we'll ventilated and fumi-
gated now and then, with proper
food and plenty Of fresh water, the
complaint Of cholera in the poultry
yard would be seldom heard. Cop
peras diluted in water is recommen-
ded as specific, but it, and other
remedies, effect little good. Chick
ems when first affected are drowsy
and their comb is pale and show
their condition by a debilitated APP
pearance. 1t is needless to warn
the people of the danger of buying
or eating unhealthy fowls-[Sbreve-

MAUD S. is probably the high
est type of a trotter on the turf, and
her hips are more elevated than
her shoulders. Nearly all our best
and great trotters have the same
popularity Of form. The shoulder
is SO placed that the fore feet are
picked up quickly, and thus get
out of the way of the stroke of the
hind legs. The PAGER differs; he
is higher on the withers than over
the loin; the shoulder is promi-
Lent, while the quarters, in most
cases, are dropping. His legs are
more under him, the feet being clo-
ser together than in trouer, and,
as in the diagonal acting the right
hind foot comes in contact with the
left fore foot, he changes to the side

A Wedding Right in a Churchyard

Allen d. Davies, Of Peekskill,
wooed and won Miss Annie Fisher,
an Is year old belle of the same
village. Last Sunday they made
up their minds to adopt the holy
state of matrimony, and started in
a carriage for the residence of Rev.
DR.. Taylor, at Shrub Oak, few
mites away from Peckshill. Ar
rived at Shrub Oak they found the
parson was at church, and there
they followed him. When the ser
mon was over DR.. Taylor told the
young couple he would be glad to
tie the nuptial knot at his home,
and accordingly, having hitched the
horse in shed~in the churchyard,
they went to the parsonage and
were made one. Mr.. and Mrs. Ira
Wis returned for their carriage and
horse, but they had so many sweet
nothings to whisper to one another
that the shades of eve were falling
before they entered the carriage and
started on their drive home. When
they reached the churchyard's iron
gates they found them locked
They shouted for assistance, but as
the church was situated in a lone
some spot their cries were Of no
avail. The walls around the church
yard were too high to scale and the
iron spikes of the gate forbade any
rash fooling with their points. FL
nally they decided to make the best
of a bad job and spent the night
under the shed, hungry, cold and
tired. Next morning the sexton
discovered them during his morn
ing rounds and liberated the bride
and bridegroom.-[N. Y. Herald.
