behind the shsw case, Immediately
/, opposite PiniSn, the two began a CON
versation and Hickey opened the
show case and picked up a pistol
that was lying inside.
Without taking the pistol from the
show ease he socked it and pulled
the trigger. There was q loud report
and heavy fall. AS soon as the
smoke cleared away the boy saw
Pinien stretched out upon the floor
and blood was flowing from a wound
in his breast. Help was summond
and the wounded man was carried

OUR DUTY.

OOA ~ H
The following essay was read by
Mrs. NJ. A. Wilson at a meeting of
the w. q. L. U. ia Middleton last
week and we publish the same at the
request of the Union:
The harvest is indeed plentiful
but the laborers are few, 'fPray ye,
therefore the Lord of the harvest to
send more laborers into his vine
yard, the vineyard of the Lsrd Jesus
Christ" All who work for the
gosd of humanity and the glory Of
God are laborers in the vineyard.
The suppression of the liquor traffic.
the work we have undertaken, is
indeed glorious and exalted prlva-
l;ge that we the women Of the 18th
century should hail with gladness,
and should put shoulders to the
wheel There arc thousands OF
woneR men bers of the w, @. I. U.
who are bTavely pushing forward
in the good work that we feel as
sured will bring happiness to many
sad hearts, yet, there are many who
sit with folded hand and wait and
wish and perhaps pray for the suc~
cess for which we are working. That
rs ali very good so far as it goes, but
we feel that the war is inevitably
upon us and christian women OF every
name and order should "work
while 1t is called to-day for the
night cometh when no man can
work" Sisters ask yourselves the
question if the prohibition movement
should fail, who will suffer? Our
lsved ones, perhaps darling boy,
whom yeu think will be your pride
and comfort in years to come, may
crush the fond parents hope and
cause you to long for death to end
the sorrows here. But there is great
strength in prayer, let us then pray
often for the success of the noble
cause in which we are engaged
Let us ask in faith and then work to
obtain that for which we pray, not
do as the man did who prayed for
an abundant crop and neglected to
work it. The result was, the crop
was a failure. We are for God and
home and native land" and az a
tree is known by its fruit, let every
one endeayor to show his faith by
his works. We should all resoIveto
come out and give evidence to the
world that we mean what we say
when we say We want to put down
the liquor trafc, and may God helr
as.
There are protested christians enough
in our town who might &c to work
and in a short time put whisky cut.
But the church and people are not
sufficiently aroused to the impor-
lance Of the wsrk and do not realize
the i'm pending danger sufficiently
to take decided stand against tbs
liquor trafc.
Omitted We stand, devided w
fall" God help as to be united in
this great contest? IF we who have
sens and brothers who are our pride
and coantrv's hope will give cul
energy, enthusiasm and influence
to this cfuss the day will soon come
when a mother can see her son leave

rHE DEMOCRATIC C0MMITTEE.

The DEMOCRAIIC COMMlTTEEs
The Democratic State Execu~
tive Committee has been called by
its chairman to meet in the city Of
Nashville on Monday next. In
view Of the fact that the Republican
party has shown a disposition to
shirk the issues which will engage
the attention IF the voters Of this
state this year, and hope to carry
the state by opposing democratic
measures, it behooves the commit :
tee to be careful that they lock vel
to the Interests Of the party, anc
do nothing which will tend to ere
ate dlscord in the ranks. The re-
pubhcans in, and out Of the state
are claiming that Tennessee will be
republieauizsd this year. Their
claims are based upon the large in
crease III the republican vote of 1884
over any previous year, but we
have never believed that Tennessee
would abandon her place in the
democratic column, if sound plat
form was adopted, and acceptable
candidates put forward. Our idea
of a democratic platform Is one
which declares, unequivocally, a.
gainst a protect, e tariff, and recoS~
nizes the right and duty Of the state
Legislature to regulate railroads,
and all other public corporations.
IF the state convention meets thes e
questions squarely, and declares in
favor of the rights of the people as
against monopolies and corporations,
a glorious victory awaits them in
November next. We recognize the
fact that there is an element in the
Democratic party which is in favor
Of a protective tariff, and is opposed
to che regulation of Railroads, but
it is a mere faction, and the party
cannot afford to pander to it. The
committee should, in our opinion,
call one convention, to meet at an
early day, not later than the mid
die of June, or if two convention
are called, the Judicial Conyention
should be called for day, and the
Gubernatorial convention for the
day succeeding the Judicial Conven-
ton. By that means the party will
be well represented, and ringsters
and ward politicians will beforced to
take back seat, to say nothing OF
the expense of making two trips to
Nashville, when one will do the work
better and more satisfactorily to the
people, than two. What we need is
to satisfy the great body Of the par
ty, and that cannot be done in any
other way sS'Well as giving then an
opportunity Of being represented IN
the councils ofthe party. So far
as the politicians are concerned, they
will fall in with the great body OF
the voters, and it is the politicians
who are anxious to have two con.
ventions. 1t is the mass of the vo
tiers who should be consulted in this
matter, aud il the question Of one,
or two conventions, could be sub
rnitted to the democratic voters OF
the state, VIC believe they would de
clare tor one convention by five t.
one.

Optional Civilities.

Optional clvilities, such as saying to one's inferior, |" Do not stand without your hat" to ones equal, !" Do not rise, beg of you," Do not come out in the rain to put me in my carriage" naturally occur to the kind-hearted, but they may De cultivated.
 A husband in France moves out an easy-chair for his wife, and sets foot stool for every lady. He hands her the morning paper, he brings shawl If there is danger of draught, he kisses her hand when he comes in, and tI1e, to make himself agreeable to her in the matter of these little optional civilities.
 It has the most charming effect upon all domestic fife. and we find a curious allusiop to the politeness observed by French sons towards their mothers anl fathers in one of Moliere's comedies, where 8 prodigal son observes to his father, who comes to denounce him: :. Pray, sir, take Q chair, you could scold me so much more at your ease ls you wer5 seated.

Committee find on the testimony of two
experts, one resident Of Holly Springs
and the other of Natchez, that the
aggregate overeharge which the majority
found from the testimony of l.. Scnlly

The Appropriation for the Colored
Blind at Natohez

The House having under consideration
the question of appropriating fifteen hun
bred dollars to establish an AsylG for the
Colored Blind at Natchez. Mr. Hoyie, of
Lee, spoke as follows:
Mr.. SPEAKER: ] oppose this appropri-
ton because, under the pretense of benev-
olence, we are asked to give this amount to
the City of Natchez for the colored blind
when the gentleman from that city has Just
told .us there were 600 colored blind in the
State; now, Sir, this amount would not be
$3.50 per aun1m each, and if only one
hundred were admitted it would only be
fifteen dollars each--a sum wholly made
quate to accomplish any good whatever.
No arrangements whatever are made in
this bill for their admission, and / ask
how can it be just? Those nearest could
fill ii up in day, when all others would
be denied and Disseminated against. Such
an expenditure at this time is manifestlv
improvisation by this and former Legis-
latures, we have established new institu-
tons from time 10 time, till theS tate is
now grooming under the burden of debt
the payable debt being nearly one million
of dollars, and we are informed the appro-
priations of the present Legislature exceed
that of 1894. Sir, it is time to call a halt
and make a reckoning. On last night we
were told it would be necessary TO float i've
hundred thousand dollars in bonds bearing
six per cent. interest; TO raise the priv i
lege taxes so high as to almost paralvze
every enterprise that has been established
to develop the State, and further, to raise
the State tax from q TO 8 or more mills.
Under this state OF facts am unwilling
to make further appropriations, that are
but beginnings to a project that il will
take thousands hereafter to sustain-when
for the care of this class ample provisions
are made in our counties. Every county
maintains their colured blind that are I'M
able to take care of themselves. And. sir.
nnder these circumstances, with the pres
ent condition of things, enter my protest
against this bill and shall vote for its in
definite postponement.

Union County.

In conversation Tuesday with DR.. B.
F. McWborter, the faithful Representa-
tive Of Union county, we were impressed
with his satisfaction as to the present con-
dition and future prospects Of his county.
The Memphis, Brunswick and Atlantic
Railroad, chartered in the early part 81
the present Legislature, is now under con
tract to Tupelo. The bill transferring the
Penitenuary to the Gulf aud Ship Island
Railroad, he thinks will insure the extern
sion of that road from Ripley through his
county during the present year. These
roads, passing as they wiz through New
Albany, the countryside Of Union, will
add very much to the prosperity Of the
county. The prohibition sentiment is ii
the ascendant, there being no saloons il
the county. The schools are we'll attended
and are under the efficient supervision o
/ Dr. T. NJ. Rodgers. The Poplar Springs
Normal College, which is devoted almos
exclusively to teaching the Norma
methods, he thinks will be very grea
advantage to his county. 1t has -four
