THE
Most Successful Season
WE HAVE EVER HAD,

While others grumble and COM
plain. Our Cloaks have been the
talk of the town this season. None
can compare with our prices and
assortment. We have sold an i'm
mense quantity and are still getting
them in every day. Having pur-
chased early in the season, before
the advance and before the great
demand for those special styles had
set in, we are enabled to offer
Cloaks this season at nearly one
half the prices Of last year. We
have now over 1000 garments of
all styles and prices in our show
room No one who will give us
call can 60 away without being
suited in styles and prices, and we
"hold the fort" on them.
In Carpets, Rugs and Oil Cloths
we have the largest assortment in
the city and connections with the
best manufacturers known. Our
prices are guaranteed to be the
lowest and the goods sold as rep
resented, or the money refunded.
We have also a small lot Of
Smyrna Rugs from ST. up. and sell
the largest Rugs at $lO-the same
that last year brought SIS.

President Cleveland.


GROVER CLEVELAND, the twentyeee-
ond President Of the United States, has
been inaugurated and the country has
witnessed the transfer Of the govern
ment from a Republican to q Democrat
ic administration The charge was one
which was necessary, that many who
doubted il the Republican party would
ever peaceably surrender the control Of
the government, might be assured that
the people are still allpowerful.
The inaugural address Of President
CLEVELAND is plain, straightforward
statement Of his Interpretation Of Dem
ocratic policies. It is easily understood
and is above criticism. It is simple,
and it is patriotic. No one now doubts
that the man who was chosen to lead
the party to success, has the courage
and the ability necessary to maintain
I himself most admirably 10 the exalted
/ position to which he has been called.
There is a spirit peryading his utter
ances which finds favor everywhere,
with all classes Of people and with mem
bers Of all parties. His public life has
I been remarkable, and not the least
remarkable feature Of it Is that his
abilities have always been found equal
to the occasion requiring their exercise
lie was good Sheriff, good Mayor, a
good Governor, and he will be a good
President. lie has been partial to the
/ the South in the selection of hi.
/ Cabinet counsellor-,-a clear iutima
ton that he fears not 90 do the Souti
that justice which has been so Ion.
withheld from it By the Republican
party.
4 new era has dawued upon our coun
try. The rchabilitalod South has again
taken a prominent position in the affair
Of the nation. She has put behind her tn
things Of the past as sacred memories
and she asks to take part in the resto
ration Of the Government to its ancien
simplicity and glory. Under Presiden
. CLEyELAND'7 administration the op
portunity viii be offered to her to mani
fest to the world her devotion to tn
restored Union, aud she viii make ID
most of it. The tendency Of a Re
publican administration was to dwar
patriotism in the South. 4 Democrat
administration viii encourage and stim
ulate it, Offering the while, a splendi
field for its growth and expansion. Th
times are propitious.

EDITOR CLARION: While We hear Of Sc
many disadvantages attending saw milling
in the North, l am surprised that sucL
advantages as we possess are not takeT
advantage of by our friends from acros,

why those living south of tdat line should
not at least pay our pineries a visit. The
pine-timber-and the best in the world
seems to me to be almost inexhaustible
1t can be utilized for lumber, charcoal
rosin and turpentine, and even wood could
be shipped from here at profit
1t is rottIng for the want Of some one to
have 1t corded. 1t is true this is a poor
country, but it boasts an Eagle, which
scars weekly from Ellisville, and Is a full
grown bird, feathers and all, and is not
afraid to speak what it thinks. Here Is
an opening for any lumber, turpentine or
any other man who wants to make a good
thing of timber.

The Peabody Fund.

WINoNA, Miss, Feb. %, 1885.
EDITOR CLARION: write this to see
if there is any chance to get up an in
vertigation about Mississippi's share of
the Peabody fund for educational pur.
poses.
As have never seen the will, l can
not speak for certain about it. My I'M
Outstanding is, however, that the will
provides for this fund to go TO the
Southern States for educational purpo-
ses on certain conditions, and l further
understand that Mississippi got her part
Tor several years; but that lately the
trustees refuse to pay Mississippi her
part, claiming it as an offset for those
old bonds i seems to me that if Pea
body had intended to hold Mississippi's
part back he would have so expressed It
in his will, and take it for granted that
If he had expressed it in his viii the
trustees would not have paid Mississippi
what they did. IF these be facts, the
trustees are taking authority they nave
no right to. And, l think that suit
should be brought against them for
Mississippi's part. and see If the courts
will allow those old bonds to be brought
in as an offset. / think the public
would be glad to hear from some one
better informed than myself both in re-
lation to the will and the legal question.

According to Promise.

Our friend of the Chickasaw Messea-
ger has at last concluded to mention
some of the items which 60 to make up
his charge of extravaganza against the
present State administration, and, ac-
cording to promise, we will undertake
to show, that his figures do not support
his charge. Conceding as we do, that
the administration preceding Governor
LowRY's term was admirable, the Hes
senger invites comparison between the
years 1880 and 1881, during which Gov.
STONE was in Office, and the years 1882
and 1888, when Gov. LOWRY was in
office, of the expenditures on account of
commissions for assessing taxes and the
amounts paid the Public Printer.
The commissions paid for assessing
taxes are thus stated:
1880-S1.. S2S, 25S.S2
1929. $50, 372. 90
This shows an increase in the last
named years of S22 .1131S; but if the
Messenger had consulted the assessor for
Chickasaw comfy, that officer could
have instantly explained the reason for
the increase, and saved us the trouble.
Everybody knows, or ought to know, that
realty was assessed in 1888, and was not
assessed in 1880 or 1881 and as the
labor was therefore greater in 1888 than
in 1880 or 1881, compensation was great
er and ought to have been. The Office
of assessor is one of the most important
and laborious in-the State, and we hope
that the meagre compensation now al
lowed assessors will not be further di-
minished. When realty is assessed they
get on an average 1850 year; but as
realty is only assessed once in four
years their average yearly compensation
does not exceed $3.50.
The amounts paid the Public Printer
are thus stated:
1SS0-Si -. S21 ,299. so
1SS2-S3 50. BOG. 55
lis cAO8s al lACiCsict III tic last
named years of s., 206.75, which it is
not necessary to explain, because had
the Messenger examined more closely
he would have Discovers that in 1880
and 1881 the Public Printer received
So, 1880 instead of s2l,999.s so, and
that would have been the end of the
comparison. So far from the compensa-
ton Of the Public Printer having been
increased during the present administra-
ton, it has been reduced 20 per cent,
and this, too, on the reco mmendation
of Gov. LOWRY.
If more has been paid out in one year
than another, it is not because the COM
pensation has beenincreased, but because
the work performed has been greater.
Our esteemed contemporary also refers
to the fact that some repairs were made
on the Executive Mansion. If repairs
were necessary 70 preserve the building
or make it habitable, why should they
not have been mades That the repairs
were necessary Is abundantly shown BY
the testimony of Gov. STONE. In his
last public message to the Legislature
be said: sickness in my family pre-
vented the repairs contemplated BY the
