Western Enterprise.

We are indebted to our esteemed
friend, f. S. Wilson, late editor of
the New Misslssippian', and now
Register of the United States Land
Office at Cheyenne, Wyoming Ter
ritory, for copy OF the Chey eune
Daily Sun. The Sun is an eight
column folio, well edited, and a
magnificent specimen of Typography.
One particularly noticeable feature
of the paper is the great number of
attractive home advertisements,
showing that the business men Of
Cheyenne are wide awake, entcrpris
ing and fully appreciate the value of
printers ink. In short, the very
fact that daily paper OF the size
and creditable appearance of the
Sun is sustained in section of the
country which has not yet attained
the dignity Of State, speaks VOL
umcs for the enterprise, energy and
public spirit OF its people.
From somewhat lengthy article
on the u. S. Land Office at Chey.
ennc, we extract the following refer
ence TO Mr.. Wilson, which will be
read with interest by his many
friends in this State
Mr.. Wilson, the register, is not, it
is to be regretted for some reasons,
of the same political faith as The
Sun. But for one other reason it il
a matter of congra.ula tion that he is
not; because if he was he would not
be here. Although he assumed his
duties but few weeks ago, he has
thoroughly acquainted himself with
the requirements OF the office, and
has systemetized the work in re-
markable manner. The best cri-
terion of public officials capabilty
is the common verdict of the people
with whom he does business, and it
is remarkable with what unanimity
the general comment upon Register
Wilson is that of praise. He has
established the impression that he
intends to conduct his office honest,
ly and in accordance with the spirit
OF the law. Personally he has been
found to be a most genial gentleman,
and it j. to be hoped that nothing
will occur to change his expressed
intention of becoming a permanent
citizen of Wyoming.

The Presidents Message.

This document is entirely too
long for our columns, occupying as
it ,,rs about II or Is columns 10
small type "f our big dsilies. How
ever, we are enabled TO give our
readers u comprehensive synopsis OF
its varied parts, from which can
be gathered a fair idea Of tue whole
in much less tItne. AS To the merits
of the message little need I've said
If there were those who doubted the
Presidents ability and statesman
ship, his first message has given all
the evidence which the people need
that he is a deep and clear thinker,
that lie is fully capable OF graphing
with the most weighty problems at
fectiny the Republic. The Demo
cracy will fully realize that the Chief
whom they honored as their leader is
worthy Of that position, that he has
very clear convictions, and has the
courage to express them with no
uncertain sound.

Killing at Durant.

DURANT, MISS, Dec. 15.-At
about 6:30 o'clock this evening a
difficulty occurred between Chas.
and Jake Marseilles, brothers, and
w. G. Davis, in which the latter
was shot, the ball entering just
above and to tue right of the left
nipple, killing him inside of two
hours. The Messrs. Maresilies are
employed in the house of V. and A
Meyer & Co., and Mr.. Davis was
representing f. j. Hart & Co, of
New Orleans and Wood d Bennett
of Cairo, III. The whole affair is
greatly depl"red by all, as all par
ties are highly connected. AS the
jury of inquest have not rendered
their decision we withhold further
comment.-PicoyuRe Special.
Mr.. Davis, the victim of this sad
affair, vas a heightened honorable
young gentleman and had many
warm friends in this city. Only
lew short months ago he led to the
altar Miss Lula Skeahan, one OF
Brookhaven's most popular young
ladies. Words fail us in expressing
the sympathy we feel for the be.
reaved and sorrow-stricken young
wife over whose sunny life has come
this dark and sudden eclipse.

Death Of a Veteran Journalist.
quested to copy,

We learn with profound sorrow Of
the death at his home in Hazlelurst
on Sunday morning last of that
veteran journalist, Col. J. F. Vance.
He died after a protracted illness, of
dropsy of the heart, in his 62nd
year. Col. Vance established and
edited the first paper ever published
in Copiah county, the Gallatin Ar
gus. He was one of the founders OF
the Hazlehurst Copiahan, establish
ed in 1865, and was one of its edi-
tors and proprietors until the late
fire, when it was consolidated with
the Signal In the thought that
he and the old Copiahan should
pass away so closely together-the
one losing its individuality among
newspapers, the other removed bv
death from among the busy scenes
of human life-there is something
inetfably sad, and yet there is in it
10 us an appropriateness which
seems almost poetical.
Col. Vance's relations with his
brethren Of the press were uniform
ly courteous and fraternal. In his
own community he was kind and
charitable, and will be greatly miss,
ed. May he rest in peace.

The State Grange.

This body closed its annual ses
sion at Durant on the 1lth inst
The Changers still insist on some
radical changes in our constitution
and code. They favor the election
of all officers by the people, and
claim that the intellectual sentiment
of the State joins them in this de-
mand. They still hold to supervi.
sion, the repeal Of the lien law, and
an equal tax on all property except
educational, religious aud charitable.
In the way of retrenchment they re-
commend doing away with the
Lieutenant Governor and County
superintendent. They heartily in
dorse the 4. and NJ. College, the
Female Industrial College, and in
sist on making the common school
system more efficient, and extending
the school term to six months.
They also recommended that an
elementary text book on agriculture
be introduced into the schools in the
rural districts. A law regulating
contract between employers and EN-
plo, ees was recommended.

By his election as President pro

his vote as Senator-he still has ONT
vote as Senator and no more. That
power is conferred by the State OF

diminished by his election as Pres
ident pro tempore Of the Senate.
The regular Vice President has nc
vote at all except in cases of a tie

A bill has been introduced in the
United States Senate prohibiting
the use of the mails to any news,

for carrying the mails shall not be
sub let without the consent Of the
Postma ster- General. We hope to
see both pass.
