ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH.

The Prohibition clans of Lincoln conn
ty have been once more called to assemble
themselves together for the purpose of
taking steps for the overthrow
in their midst of the wosrt
evil with which our common country is
cursed-the liquor traffic. The con dict is
irrcpressible, and the sooner the people
grapple with the rum-fiend in a hand-to-
hand contest and drive him forever from
our bounds the better. The people of
the entire county are to be given chance
they have never had before-that of say
ing at the ballot-box whether or not the
Matchless Evil of the age shall I've longer
yeuded in their midst. An election is to
he held during the summer, and the issue
squarcly ioincd-sale or no sale. There
fore organization for the struggle cannot
begin too soon. Let the friends of sobri-
ETY., of peace and order, of good govern
ment, and every one who esteems God and
the happiness of the fireside above the sa
loon, answer to roll-call on Saturday, May
Goth, and be ready to enter upon a cam
paign of earnest, faithful, aggressive
work. Get the people be aroused to the
merits Of the question and, as sure asGod
reigns, the demon will he throttlcd.

A Common Sense View.

A blunt, progressive. Woodworking
farmer of Preniiss county, Miss, writes
to the Corinth Herald on the line Of prac-
teal common seusc, and we heartily com
mend his views to shiftless, cxtravagaut
and discontented farmers everywhere.
Having heard so much lately, he writes,
about hard times, have concluded tn
write u few words on that subject !;
though il is the first time | ever attempt
ed to write for a paper. The farmers
especially D. great deal of grumbling.
| am a farmer myself. and think that al
most the whole troubIc is on account of
ldleness. | have been observing in my
neighborhood TO see if anybody WAS at
work, and upon the honor of man, |
don't know Of a family around here that
is doing anything at all toward another
crop. The fences need r pairing; the
bitches are filed up all the gates, crib
and stable doors are down; the hogs go
where they please, and the whole farm is
'run down at the heel" / am sorry to
say it, but it is true, large numbers of our
young men are worthless, and some OF the
old ones no better. ] live several miles
in the country, and it is n daily occur
renee for me to see persons going to and
from town that have no business there
under the sun. Go to any of our depotS
and it is no strange thing to sec from for
ty to one hundred persons standing
around waiting for the arrival of the
train. | have been farmer all my life
but never saw such sorry labor as at
the present time. | confess that don't
work az Ought to, yet, without brag-
gng, can say that | work great deal
more than some of my neighbors. Broth
cr farmers, let MS determine and freeze to
it, that we viii try to improve in our
manner of work management. If we will
do this we will have better times. Let
us rake and scrarc mp all the iertiizing
material possible, plough little deeper
and a little oftener, and put in mere
hours in the day and more days in the
week, and then if we don't have better
times I'll engage to pay the damage.
But the renter is ready to say, that's
money only to the owner of the
land" Well, are you willing to half
starve yourself rather than benefit the
owners of the land Z? | know plenty of
men who are now wanting their land
lords to stand for goods till fall. This
should not be so. Go to work and show
to the world that you mean to live with
in your income; then you can get help:
otherwise You don't deserve assistance
and ought not to expect it. We all buy
too much on time and then complain at
the merchant for keeping lis poor. If We
are required to pay too high fer credit,
let rs take the less of it. Merchants can't
make lis buy their goods, and if we buy
too much or pay too high it is cur own
fault. The drought never hurts us half
us much as our own msnanagemcnt and
id'cness Work more? Yes, | honestly
don't believe there is one out Of ten in
the county that does five months faithful
work in Il year, and yet there is lamenta-
ton in the land because of "hard times.
Now quit going in debt. If You can't get
dollar for day, work tor fifty cents
better work at two bits Il day tLan

Bishop Galloway.

Just before closing the forms the news
reaches us that Rev. Chas. B. Galloway,
u. D., was Tuesday elected one of the
four Bishops chosen 10y the General Con
ference now in session at Richmond. The
distinguished honor has certainly been
most worthlly bestowed, and this deserv-

star in the whole Southern pulpit will be
hailed with delirht by his thousands of
friends in Mississippi and Louisiana.
We learn that Rev. DR.. IL. +. Johnson,
who was also prominently mentioned for
the Episcopal office, declined to have his
name considered in connection thcrwith
and used his influence for the promotion
of DR.. Galloway.
