A Gentle Stimulus

Is impaired to the kidneys and bladder
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is
most useful in overcoming torpidity of
these organs. Besides infusing more &C
tivity into them, this excellent tonic
endows them with additional vigor, and
enables them the better to undergo the
wear and tear of the discharging function
imposed upon them by nature. More
over, as they are the channel for the es-
cape of certain impurities from the blood
increases their usefulness by strengthen
ing and beautifully stimulating them. In
certain morbid conditions of these impor-
tant organs, they fall into sluggish
state, which is the usual precursor of
disease. What then can be of greater
service than medicine which impels
them to greater activity when slOthtul ?
No maladies are more perilous than those
which affect the kidneys, and mediince
which averts the peril should be hihgly
esteemed.

The South Mississippi colored Fair.

This is an enterprise which should be
heartily encouraged 10y the white citizens
of this county and the State generally.
IL is q move in q direction that can only
prove mutually beneficial to both races.
1t will stimulate the colored people to inn
prove themselves, and will prove of in
Unite interest and pleasure to them.
1t furnishes the white people a most ex
celleut opportunity TO prove their good
will by their works. Not the least of
the good is, that it directs the efforts of
the colored people in direction in which
all good citizens can aid them.
As a matter of Business the Colorcd
Fair must prove of great advantage to
our city in many different ways, and all
our citizens should therefore aid to make
il success. We hope to see it an occa-
sion to excite the wonder and admira-
ton of all who visit it.
The managers re doing every thing in
their power to make 1t success and
worthy of patronage, and it should re-
ceive the encouragement ofaH,

The above docs not take into considera-
ton any taxation or expense of the city
public schools, as that is II separate fund
and not allowed to be used for any other
purpose. If the tax to be levied Was put
at 81 mills the same as last year, the de-
ticIU on the LIST of March next would he
about $4,000.
After consideration of the foregoing
figures and estimates and hearing the
various suggestions and arguments of the
members of the Beard, Alderman Krauss
proposed the following ordinance:
"WHEREAs, 1t is evident that our sys-
TEN of revenue is not sufficient to carry
on the City Government at the rate OF ex-
penditure at which it is now being cou-
Quoted, and
WHEREAS, 1t will be ruinous to the
credit of the city to continue to issue war
rants which cannot be redeemed, even at
the highest rate of taxation allowed by
law; Therefore, Be it ordained 10y the
Mayor and Aldermen of the City of
Brookhaven that from and after the lat
Of October next, that the Mayors salary
be reduced to 800 per month, and that
the City MarshaPs salary be reduced to
$50. 90 per month.
Alderman b. Il. Atkins then offered the
following amendment to the ordinance
proposed by Mr.. Krauss:
PrOrided, That if it is found on the LIST
of March next that any surplus revenue
remains in the treasury after all the war
rants are paid, or are provided for, eX-
cept what may belong to the school fund
then nothing herein contained shall be
construed as preventing the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen from appropriating
to the payment of the Mayor and Mar
shal's salary a sum equal to the salaries
that have heretofore been allowed them,
or so much thereof as said surplus may
justify.
The amendment was accepted, and
after hearing the arguments of the mem
beers of the Board, the ayes and noes We're
ordered. The following Aldermen voted
aye: Atkins, Krauss and Lewis,-3. The
following Aldermen voted 10: Baker aud
COnnerly,-2. Alderman Storm, being
present, declined to vote either way.
The ordinance being adopted HIS
Honor the Mayor returned it TO the
Board with his veto, with the following
message:

Rally To Mckenzie.

Ed. SoUTH KENTUCKIAN:
Since the delivery of that manly
speech of jim Mckenzie many that
were adverse 10 his nomination are
now for him. Is there a man in
Christian county that opposes his
nomination Surely not man who
has done more for the people of the
Second Congressional district than
any congressman has ever done, and
who is the peer of any man in the
State of Kentucky to-day. The Office
could confer no dignity upon him.
The measure of his fame is noau. full
and ripcns for posterity, and when
ever the tomb shall close over him, it
will cover one of the loftliest intel
ects, the noblest hearts, Kentucky
has produced. Jim Mckenzie mer-
its this title by the grandeur of his
soul, the uprightness of his heart, the
nobility of his intentions, the wisdom
of his counsels, the course of his steps,
and the brilliancy of his intellect.
This man Jim Mckenzie who will
excite the admiration of all those
that a heroic virtues, can still move
will further inspire the liveliest graft
tude in the hearts of all who love
their county. Should he be our next
representative, you'll witness the
outpouring of his magical oratory in
behalf of the interest Of the people Of
this district ? he has been tried while
being confronted by the ablest minds
of his nation, and was never found
wanting. So let us rally 10 his stan
dard, send him back to Congress and
you'll see the great old second Con
| gressional district represented ant
not misrepresented. MACK.

natured speech and closed with some
remarks about himself and after tell
ing a good anecdote gave way after
speaking 80 minutes to
hon. JAS. a. MCKENZIE.
lie began py paying his respects to
the dirt-slingers who have assailed
him in this race and said so far as the
candidates were concerned it was a
clean canvass. After a few humor-
GUS illusions TO his opponents Mr.. Nc
Kenzie took up the convict matter and
proved conclusively that he had new
er favored nor voted for working con-
victs in competition with free labor.
He found the law in existence when
he went into Office as SecretaryofState
and had never cast vote anywhere
for convict labor in competition with
free labor. The Governor had framed
and he had approved the bill putting
convicts to work on the Eddyville
penitentiary and repeating that part
of the law that permitted them TO be
worked IN mines. When the exist
ing contract expired they would nc
longer be worked in coal mines. lie
paid a tribute TO labor and laboring
men and said he would rather his
daughter (who was in the audiance,
would marry an honest, industrious
blacksmith than lazy, trifling up
start of a dude with his hair parted
in the middle. Tremendous ap'
plause.
He then discussed various matters
in his usual felicitous style and con-
cluded with an earnest appeal 10 hii
friends TO stand by him.
The general verdict was that Nc.
Kenzie and Ellis made the best
speeches, whileMr.LafToon's effort was
disappointment to his friends.
