A Mistake.

It is not true, as the Mexico
Intelligencer says, that Judge Rob-
inson is "sick and tired of the
POSITION" or that any plans have
been formed in this county TO secure
the nomination for q gentleman OF
this county. We think that such
statements are calculated to do great
injustice, and it is certain that as fair
q man as the editor of the InteLigen-
Ger could not wish to make them with
such q representations Press.

Were we to tell our readers that
Robespiere, who has been held for
many years before the church as the
very incarnation of hell, was a reli-
gious fanatic, our friends might say
that we are a fanatic. This man OF
blood would spend the warm genial
days of summer on the beautiful
slopes that begirt the classic Seine
that meanders through Paris, reading
the gentle doctrines of the Bible, crit
icising with taste the poems of Virgil,
and sometimes fasting, and then at
night at a Jacobin club present five
hundred names of the best and wisest
men and wnmen Of France, to be at
once ~incarcerated in dungeons, or be-
headed with the g%uillotine. So we ask
what sort of a man was he? Danton
IA a coarse, savage, dirty blood
hound that Tapped human blood as
the tiger sucks the veins Of the ante
lope, and had nothing to redeem him
in the eyes of ~posterity murdered his
fellow-men because Of their superior
worth, Old Ironsides, Cromwell with
his long-spurred troopers, preaching
to them to pray to God, and keep
their powder dry' to kill Episcopal
Iians, Catholics and Irishmen espec-
tally was a religious enthusiast, who
believed that he was wooing God and
serving his country in his fierce on
slaughts against the defenceless that
fell before the sharp edge Of his sweep

the marriage of two young people
we'll known to this community, both
of whom we believe raised in
our neighbor county, Carroll, and one
of whom has been u citizen of Grena-
da for several years. Some ten days
q we learned that Mr.. sam. +.
Shackelford had boarded the north
bound train for Il few days travel, but
in spite of all our endeavors we were
unable to learn to what city he was
sailing. \ few days later We re-
ceived information that our friend
sam. had landed at Morrilton, Ark,
and had taken unto himself a life
companion in the person Of Miss An
ME l.. Lane. Mr.. Shackelford is
among our most worthy, energetic
and reliable business young men,
and as member of the firm of G. J.
Austin & CO., has won the confidence
of the people for many miles around
for his strict integrity and gentleman-
ly dealings with any and everybody
with whom he comes in contact.
With this high opinion of the bust
ness man, Whose social standing is
amongth the best, we point to Sam
Shackelford with more than an ordi-
nary degree of pride. O his fair and
beautiful young bride we but speak

GKuINnLESS EEARS.

Attacking the church seems to
awake the fears Of some people In this
community, who have more zeal than
discretion. We have neither the will
nor the power to attack the church,
but the absurdities and assumptions
of some of her emisaries is not war
ring upon the church. Because we
do not believe in prohibition like
many Of her most noisy and gratui-
tous defenders Is no argumentthat we
are opposed to her precepts of virtue.
temperance, truth, ETC., for we fail to
find anywhere amy authority for pro-
hibiting the drinking, In moderation,
Of wine or any other good thing that
the wisdom of Providence has placed
here for our benefit. The abuse of u
thing does not necessarily carry with
it its abuse. This is the weakness of
the man, which education and tGach-
ing should correct. TO resort to pro-
hibition, would in n few years, estop
the very supplies of commerce, break
up foreign aud international trade,
isolate communities and destroy civ
ilization and christianity itself.
Because some men will get drunk,
must we go s. far a. to stop all the
uses of wine, beer and brandy? On
that basis Of argument, break up nav-
igation because ships will sink and
destroy life, stop rail roads because
they will now and then collide and
kill people. This is about the size OF
prohibition when philosophieally and
morally considered. 1t is an exotic
and not an indigeous plant OF the
christian church.

ance.
1t is a trite remark. but neyerthe-
less true, that there are two demands
which never fail to claim their rights
death and taxes. 1t seem from the
tax on drummers, and some other
equally unwise legislation, that our
Solons last wintey tried not only to
put them on the same footing but
make them coterminus. The differ
ence between taxing a man to death
until he is financially ruined and
starving him to death for want of sus-
tenance is about equal,in geometrical
proportions, to the same thing. When
the people enjoy the idea that their
pockets, in tax-paying times, are
lightened by legislative enactment,a s

drummers especially, they had as
we'll learn now that they, the consul
mers, have to pay in the end for all
such deletable but cheap music. The
tax on commercial statesmen in every
branch of business finally comes out
of the country people, All such ad-
ditional expenses are put in the cost
of the goods by the wholesale dealers
who sell to our local merchants, and
the dear people in their unsuspecting
confidence come in and pay the fid-
dler without knowing it. There is
always a wheel within a wheel, but
some of our wise law makers can
hardly see the outside circle, while
the inner one is beyond the reach OF
their telescope researches. If the
invisible powers who We're manlpu-
iating some of the absurd and danger

jackson had shown openly their pur-
pose, the tax or drummers, AID espe-
cially whisky drummers, would never

forces of France, Spain and Austria.

THE ANSWER,

We have but little space 10 devote to
the refutation OF fools and knayes, en-
thusiasts and hypocrites, SO our
friends must excuse us for making
short work of that tumble of SANDER,
libel, cant and falsehood published in
the last Grenada Sentinel, under the
signature of Church Member" The
recommendation in this day of en-
l%ightenment and progress to break
down a paper because in its fair bust
ness pursuits two of its columns +
hired out for the exposition OF facts,
figures, statistics and principles con-
nected with the sale and uses of
vinous and alcoholic liquors, is a
despotism that would disgrace any
age of the church. 1t Is not the
church that VIC a~ssai!, nor her minis
ters, but assertions and statements
they utter which truth does not justi-
iy. The church itself must not forget
chat in all the ages, her worst enemies
as well as best friends, have been
within her own fold, and as formerly
so to-day. She started eighteen hun
dred years ago with a Judas lscariot,
whose business was to dispense the
little treasury in driving fair bar
gains in the purchase of supplies,
pirate upon religion which he didn't
nave, and "holy ground'', on which
| ne didn't stand, and for which ne
claimed he would sacrifice his life,
when he was preparing to hetray
mis- Master for money and then prob
ably run away to Samaria with his
~ll-gotten gains. Had Judas lived IN
this town and in this day, he was
just about meal enough to have been
Church Member" and if "Church
| Member" had lived in the in
lant days of the church, he might
nave been a Judas. Further answer
to his disgraceful diatribe intended
to awake up bitter and uncompromis-
lngble religious preiudices,w we do not
believe is sanctioned by any j~ntelli,

for justice, fair-play and common

pay local and State revenues, and
you find right along in these same

they have already paid in full every

Guiding their Endorsements for Others.
In doing this the firm have justified
the confidence manifested in them by
their creditors; fulfilling every pro-

their trouble, and fully realizing the
expectations of their friends. Since
The day the extension was granted
they have directed every effort t

Barney Nelson is the name of a
wonderful specimen Of humanity who
was in our city this week. Barney Is
a child seven years of age, Of colOreu
parentage, intelligent and conlmuni-
rative, but Without Il perfect limb to
his body. A. he appeared before Us
and as he was born-his right arm
Is about eight inches long, his lett
arm about three inches long, his rlght
ley about f~0urinches shorter than the
left, and both feet badly detormed.
However, this child has good use OF
MS left leg and loot, for We saw him
take his pencil and draw pictures OF
horses, dogs, foAes, deer, birds, etc.
besides write his name in plainly leg
ible letters-mucl. better and quicker
than many a child two or three years
his senior can do with their hands
he, of course, holding the pencil be-
tween his toes. Barney has been on
exhibition in many of the most popu-
lar museums in the cities in the
North and East, and has always been
a wonder to all who have seen him.
He has an engagement in st. Louis
to begin on the 18th instant. Barney
Nelson is Of New Jersey birth, and
has recently been on a trip to South
ern cities.

Language That VIII apply to Every Bus
mess.

The whisky ring is often spoken of
here as though those who sell and
drink liquor were a band of brigands
from theswamps,and Businesses of the
mountains, numbering, killing and
plundering the rights of the body pol
itic, and by an easy figure of speech
and q total perversion Of truth some
good people are ready to believe such
nonsense to be the ease. These men
are simply acting conformity for the
interests in whichtheir business Is in
volved for a pursuit which they have
carried on under the laws for the last
twenty years. Suppose that the best
interests of the dry goods and gro
Gerry merchants in the sale of silks,
domestics, bacon, tea and coffee were
attacked by a fanaticism that said
that these things were too costly for
the poor, and it is time to prohibit
their introduction into this town.
Would there not be a ring formed at
once between these parties to put
down this violation of the usages and
customs of society? These merchants
that deal in liquor are simply trying
to protect their interests by using
those artificial resources inside OF the
law. And Where's the wrong? p
