The congressional contest is al,
ready becoming animated in some Of
the districts of the State. Col. Sim
gleton's nomination will be vigor-
ously opposed in the fifth district by
o. B. Collins. of Clarke, w. D.
Gibbs, of Yazoo and DR.. w. L.
KERN and Col. j. G. Hamilton, of
Holmes, c. S. Anderson, of At
tala, and J. W. Fewell, OF Meridian.
The ground of opposition to Col.
Singleton seems to be only that he
promised il elected in the last can
vase that he would not again be a
candidate.

Hon. Ethel Barksdale:

This distinguished gentleman
will have some opposition in his
district, though we predict that he
will be returned to Congress without
much trouble. Among all the Mis-
sissippi members we consider that
there are none who have more infiu-
ence on the floor Of the House than
Hon. Ethel Barksdale. Besides this,
Maj. Barksdale has not been . mem.
Der any great length of time, and
be has just arrived at that point
where he can serve his constituency
and the State usefully. He has age,
and a large amount of experience as
q statesman, and he has done as
much for the Democratic party in
this State as any man who resides
on her soil. We highly favor the
return of Mr.. Barksdale to Congress.

A dispatch from Corinth since
our last issue says that the board OF
supervisors decided TO admit the re.
turns of the local option election to
be spread upon the minutes, leaving
the validity Of the election to ju-
dlcial investigation, whereupon the
temperance campaign committee
filed a bill of exceptions against re-
cording the unsworn returns, and
appealed to the circuit court. The
board signed the bill of exceptions
and approved the bond for appeal,
but still instructed the clerk to re-
cord the returns which was done.
The case seems to be much muddled,
and is causing q good deal Of dis
cussion.

Miss Wallace OuestIoned.

Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs. George
Fickland, 81 McAfee street, and from her own
lips the reporter learned the following appalling
story:
Several months ago she became almost totally
blind and deaf. Her bones became the seat OF
intense pain, her joints were swollen an pain
full, and eventually her whole body and limbs
became covered with splOtches and small sores.
Her appetite failed, and she gradually lost flesh
and stength, and had bat little use OF herself, as
her limos and muscles we're paralysed.
To the reporter she SAID ~ had blood poison
and rheum atism and before one bottle OF b. B.
b. had been taken ! began to see and hear.
When had completed the use Of six bottles my
eyesght and hearing was fully restored, sense of
taste returned, and splotches disappeared, sore
ness all neaied. and my strength and flesh re-
stored"
