were preached by the Rev. R. w. Beers
in this town on the 4th inst. We pub
lish one of them in our issue of today,
and expect to follow it with the second,
the manuscript of which MIR. Beers has
kindly placed at our disposal. 1t is
due him to say, that these sermons
were not prepared with view to their
publication, and that in consenting to
have them printed he has yielded to
the assurances of a number of those
who heard them delivered, that their
publication would be productive of
good.

What a comment on our
usual Hamburg cmbroiderics
This enormous stock at forty
per cent below the scale at which
they are marked hasn't hindered
their sale.
We have pointed out before
now how widely our embroider-
les differ from those of average
stores. We never gave such
proof of the fact before.
This wholesale stock, bear in
mind, was made for average
trade; of popular styles and
grades; but made with a care
very rarely bestowed, we be
lieve, by makers for wholesale
trade.
Forget for an instant our
usual embroidcries. This excep-
tional stock is going for half.
Now turn to our regular
stock. Exclusive, artistic, orig
inal styles; fine careful, intelli-
gent faithful work; and the
prices of equal embroideries.

The local option election here last
Saturday passed off very quietly. We
have heard Of no disturbance in the
county except at Water Valley, where
the ladies turned out at the polls and
canvassed the town, endevoring to in
fuence all who fell in their way to
vote the Dry ticket, but it was no go,
the town went wet by SO maioIity.
During their canvass We learn that
one man being approached by the la
dies after avowing his intention to
vote the wet ticket, he advised the la
dies that they were out Of their lati-
tude, and would look bettera It homeat-
tending to their domestic affairs.
This raised the ire Of some Of the la
dies who communicated the facts to
the gentlemen members oftheir fam
lilies, who construed the g~entleman's
language as an insult to the ladies',
and we are toldit was difficult to keep
down a serious diBturbancc.-COf-

We recognize among the prOhibi-

most esteemed personal friends and
business men-lnen of whom we
would not speak rashly, While this
is true, we sincerely regret to say that
these men, by their words and ac-
tions, are doing all in their power to
place the white and colored people on
the same social platform. We shud-
der when we consider what will be
the possible, if not inevitable, out
come Of thi. unwi9e department.
Without referring to details, we sup
pose every intelligent citizen Of this
town will know to what we allude.
We say in all earnestncss, gentle
men, stop and consider wither you

upon your journey. After awhile it
may be too late to attempt to undo
what you are now doing. A word to

Never was a greater mistake made
than that as q nan grows old, he
should relinqnish the thoughts and
ideas of his earlier life, simply to be in
keeping with the promulgations of
younger men, who have not thought
as much, read as much, or known as
much orseen as much. Where
would this assumption place Glad
stone of the British parliament, Bis
mark of theGerman Reischtag or any
of the old statesmen or thinkers OF
this or European or American civili-
zation? Will men of all persuasions
and all religions remember that the
world is to be judged, not as church.
es, communities or states, but as in
dividuals, and when we appear be-
fore him who has a right to Judge and
pass sentence, we are to answer the
sins done in our bodies, our own
identity and not through any other
organized form, whether in the sim
full flesh or out of it.
Therefore we do not propose to go
to the grave as q snivelling coward, to
hide under the assumptions or pre-
SYMPTOMS of men, who are no better
than we with all their arrogance, no
wiser than we, with all their vain
pr~etentions to learning no purer than
we, andwith nohigher hope of Heaven
than we with all their conceits Of viz
tue. If we ever had principles, NOR
al, social political or religious, they
have only intensified as we have
met their opposite extremes. So we
say that each wingless fling at our
age, shows stupidity and arrogance
on the part of others.

The death of Col. James B. Town
send occasions sadness and sorrow
throughout our community. The

Five times elected to the mayoralty

ness by valuable public services, and
leaves a record as chief magistrate of
Grenada, which should be a priceless

genial and courteous nature, his open

Of heart made him strong in the af-

grief and universal regret felt
throughout this city, his home and
