FROM sTONEWALB.


sToNEwALL, MISS, Nov, Is, 1886.
Editor Democrat-Star
We learn that our cOaRty Is soon
to have Il special election tor an
assessor to fill tho place OF q. +.
Watkins who, we learn, has left his
office without leave or license.
Who ever heard tell of so many
elections, and who is willing to
make the sacri6cef OF cours it
will be no trouble to fud u man to
take the place of our defnnct
assessor, and no doubt that there
is plenty who are building little
castles in that direction already
and who feel that they are the very
man for the place, but alas! alas
there aretwelve Ortourteen hundred
more people TO be asked about the
matter.
Charcoal is booming on this river,
"independent" burners are becom.
ing more numerous and quite differ
ent from the independent politician
they seem to DO the most popular.
There is a 'hiestiny that shapes our
ends" and charcoal is that destiny.
Well, Mr.. Editor, | had just set
tied down to tell you all about
StOnewall. but in come q friend
an old soldier, who desired to tell
me all abou; the war, what caused
it, who done right, and who done
wrong aud, of course, | must list
Ell and pretend I was interested IN
his story. Soon in comes another,
and still another, until there is now
Ia bunch of us. Now, OF course,
Col. So and so, who reprOves tho
whole crowd for loafing around,
trying to make a living without
work, reins his. horse at the door
and proceeds to tell us what he
knows OF the world aud, of course,
we are all interested, more or less.
So, you see that the reporter has a
great many disadvantages TO labor
under, and taken as Il whole he
leads a wonderful liRe-not so won
desful from the brilliancy that
marks his course, but he often won
ders what to say, and then wonders
if his manuscript will 90 to the
press or to the waste basket; then
he wonders II anybody will read 1t,
and the greatest wonder OF all there
is, what his readers will think OF 1t.
Wool Market is reaching her
arms out, and if Stonewall does not
be up and doing she is likely to
have a rival OF no small dimen-
sions. W. already hear some call
ing for II postofice over on our side
of the river, and we feel that it
means something. There are lots
OF good Democrats who would fill
Il postoHice with credit TO them
selves and convenience to the COM
munity. Bye bye,
SNAP BEANS.

LETTER FROM POPLARVILLE


POPLARvILLE, MISS Nov 10 lsSo'
Correspondent DemJcrat-Star
Last night (14th) at the Baptist
Church Mr.. MOUroc Bilbo,and Miss
Lizzie Moody we're united IN mar.
riage. The ceremony was performs
ed by Rev. L. ID. Bush. MIR. Bilbo
is Il sou of Mr.. j. o.. BilbO at Juni-
per Grove.
Tho Northeastern road is now
running four passenger trains dai'
ly, two each way. For information
of any wishing to visit Ibis point,
will say that, north bound trains
stop here at IL a. ~, going south,
1906 p. M, giving two hours stop
over here in daylight.
Our taxes this year VAS fifteen
mills, being a considerable reduc-
ton trOM past years.
We had some rain last week,
since then the weather has been
pleasant, and begins to look a little
like winter.
Cotton continues to come in, and
the merchants here arr doing a
nice business.
The schools at this place arc well
patronized. Prof. Warren and
Mrs. warren aresall resident teachs
| ers. b Prot. Anderson has come to
hstay aud is building a neat resi-
dehce near the mayors office. T
There is an. ~iopeningi here for a
good paper, and a good hotel. We
have some good houses ami they
are well kept, but there is Il neces.
sity now tor a place built on a plan
more suitable for people who travel.
Another thing VIZ must have, and
that is the narrow guage railroad
TO and up through those fertile
Pearl river bottom lands; a large
amount of cotton that should come
this way is hauled to CovingtOn,
La. aud sent from there to New
Orleans on schoOners. / notice an
article in a Mississippi paper, that
quotes Col. Hardy as saying that
the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad
will seek some seaport town, pos
sibly Mobile. l had thought of
that before, only my opinion was
kthat it had found acircuitous way,
via New Orleans. This minds me
of an old story. Capt. b. r., who
long years ago used to sail vessels
on the lake. One time be was out
in IL gale, the sailor at the tillei
called the Captain which way he
must hold her. Hold her north
west and hit the broad side OF
America somewhere.
Tom Pete has been hearing one
of our academies or universities
called q estate PETE and "Sllver
Spoon' school, aud wants to know
the meaning OF it, If it has any.
Tom Pete says he did want one
of those fine bronze turkeys TO
keep for his Christmas pie SO bad,
but they were on II trip TO the Ores
cent City.
We are glad to see the name OF
our old friend "Pearl Rivers" APP
pear again in tho Picdy@He. May
the cricket OH her hearth at home
always sing its cheertuk song for
her. nor his little flute ever he
choked with tears of sadness. May
she never grow old, aud Leonard
always be her "boy." I"

P~ASCAGOULA GUN CLUB
SUPPER.

The annual hunt OF the Pasca.
goula Gun Club took place OH the
10th lust, and terminated as usual,
with much eating, more drinking
and most merry-making. This
year the good things for said mer-
ry.makjng were prepared by Mrs.
DR.. Cox. The score was small this
year, but six hunters in each team
hunted, and bnt small scores made
by the respective teams. Business
engagements prevented some of
the best hunters from taxing part
in the hunt, two of them took "a lit
tie hunt on their own account aud
managed to entrap a dear apiece,
which seemed to satisfy all their
sporting desires for the time being.
Another, one of the best hunters,
was called away to Jackson, Miss,
on business, thereby causing the
side to which he belonged to- pay
for the supper. Had the aforesaid
hunter been on hand the results
would have been different, for it is
conceded that he never failed but
one time in his life, and that tiGe
he was not there. Various reasons
are assigned by the several hunters.
for their failure to win the prize.
One hunter attributes his failure to
the vigorous back action of his
gun /; the first shot at the only
large flock of ducks that came to
his blind, his gun kicked him down
and stamped him awhile, thereby
giving the ducks time to get be-
yond reach. Another said there
were thousands of ducks where he
hunted, but for every duck there
were one million gnats and mosqui-
toes, and that the density of the
mosquitoes and gnats made it i'm
possible to shoot with accuracy.
Captain Henry Gautier's team had
every prospect OF being deprived
of the privilege of paying for the
supper until late Thursday evening,
when seven Skined turkeys turned
tue tables IN favor of Captaia o.
G. Cowan's team o. O.. Cowan,

The occasion was y OF much
enjoyment, and as expressed by
Que of the members present, lacked
but one thug to make 1t complete,
aud that was the attendance OF the
wives and sweethearts OF the mem
bers, aud it is not Improbable that

The Star bivery Stables of MIR.

marks of Scranton, and it is a
noticeable fact they are now being
fitted up, cleaned, wHtewashed aud
otherwise pnt in order as though
no financial depression had ever
been, felt in Il community.
Though all the financial vicisSi-
tudes of the past seventeen years
the Star Livery Stables have never
varied in price, except in confOrml-
ty with surrounding circumstances,
and these prices have always been
uniform without respect to persons.
Good horses, nice comfortable bug
giles, neat and clean offices, warmed
by stove in wiuter, prompt atten-
ton night aud day, characterize the
Star Livery Stables. Mr.. Pickett
has now, in connection Win ms
stables a nice glass enclosed hearse,
as nice as can be had in any country
town, which he has fitted MP so that
our people may enjoy the Injury OF
a decent burial. With these refec-
! tiops it must be seen th9t this insti-
tuition Is q pnutic s~"~at sud de-
! serves the support OF the citizens.
Our free school is in need OF a
