Meanwhile he had passed a large
goblet nearly fun of champagne without
anyone in the room paying much atten-
tention TO him. The waiter pointed ont
a water-set at the side of the room. Gen.
Hancock went over 70 it, and went
through the motion of pouring water
into the goblet. Then he stepped mp to
the president and said. with bow:
MIR. Presidents VIII you not have a

Mr. Cleveland took the glass with a
smile and drank part of its contents,
thanking the general for his courtesy.

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

Meridian News.
Under the above caption we find the
following very complimentary notice of
our fellow-townsman, Capt. Juo, w
Jewell, in the Manassas Gazette, of the
18th inst, published at Manassas, Va,
the old home of Capt. Fewell:
Ii is with exceeding pleasure that we
| notice very complimentary call on
Capt. Jno W. Fewell to stand rs a can
didate for the nomination of the Demo-
cratic party in the Fifth Congressional
District of Mississippi. We are always
gratified at the success of any of Prince
Williams sons, bat particularly so when
we know that the compliment and
honor, so justly deserved, descended
from family which has for more than
one generation been known for its high
sense of honor, marked ability and un-
questionable integrity. He has proven
himself a son worthy of such an an
cestry.
When a mere boy, Capt. Jewell en-
| tered the Confederate army as mem
Der of the Prince William Cavalry.
where lie remained until the battle of
| Five FORTS, which occurred few DAYS
before Lees surrender. 1t was there he
received the wound, which necessitated
the amputation Of his leg. The mem
bers Of the Prince William Cavalry can
bear witness to the fset that no truer OF
Drawer man followed Lee in those
famous fights around Richmond and
Petersburg in tue last days of the Con.
federacv.
After the war was over Capt Fewell
first studied law with Hon J Randolph
Tucker, after which he entered the law
school of the University of Virginia
graduating in 1868 with marked distinc
ton.
While at the University he was elect
Ell Chairman of the Committee having
ia charge the final exercises of the JEFF
ferson Society and also President of the
Moot Court. 1t Was here that Capt
Fewell first gave earnest of the ability
that he has displayed as a lawyer
Without knowing the competitors oil
Capt Jewell, should he permit his name
to be used, we feel no hestancy in say
ing that our sister State can find nc
ADLER, truer or better man to represent
her in the halls of the next Congress of
the United States.

passenger accepts such ticket he cannot
take advantage of the rate and reject
