To see Ole friends whose respect and
confidence we have enjoyed for many
years pass away from the walks of the
living, makes US feel sad to tears. No
man who respects true manhood In
all Of its noblest parts, could view Col.
J. d. Letlore, who died in this city on
the 18th instant, but as essentially
gifted with all those noble qualities
which men in all ages have respected
and honored. His friendship was as
true as steel, and was unbounded un-
til some rude shock unexpectedly re-
vealed that it was misplaced. AS cit
izen he stood amongst the foremost,
as neighb0r his kindness was without
stint. With a heart and a hand ever
open to charity, it never left his door
with curses nor tears. His house was
the home of a hospitality that could
entertain the least and greatest guest
with the same elegant simplicity.
Having lived an open, generous, can
did life, respected and loved by all
who knew him may we not hope that
these moral and intellectual virtues
are transferred to happier and bright
er climes where they will expand in
perpetual bloom beneath the happy
influences Of that genial sun which
knows no lurid morn nor lowering
eve?

On the srsL page of OILY parar I.ia
week will be found the card Of John
Reid, wholesale -four merchant, $40
Front Street, Memphis. This is one
Of the oldest and most reliable houses
of the kind in the Bluff City. He
devotes his whole time and atten-
ton to collecting together tbs very
finest brands Of nOuf in the market,
and his almost unlimited experience
enables him to compete with, if not
excel, any establishment of the kind
in the Southwest. He has the ex-
elusive agency for Lilly of the VAL
ley,' the finest -four manufactured
in the Uuited States, Besides he
keeps the celebrated Arnbrosia, Pills
bury's Best, Golden Crown, Jewel, and
many other leading brands. Then,
his prices cannot be duplicated by
anyone in this section, which, besides
the excellence Of his goods, is worth
the consideration Of all purchasers of
breadstutfs. He makes a specially of
Lilly Of the Valley" which he chal-
lenges anyone to produce its equal.
Mr.. Reid IL a number-One business
man and an excellent gentleman, who
attends personally tn the filling of all
orders entrusted to him. Don't fail
to try his special brand, LILLY Of the
Valley"

80 far as we know the sentiment of
the anti-prohibitiohists, both Jews
and Christians, black and white, rich
and poor, it is in favor of a fair
election. In other words they wish
the vox populi to be the vox del, and
consequently oppose any strategic
measures by way of hoodwinking the
voters, as were carried on at Merid-
ian and at other places in Lauderdale
county to such an extent that the
Chancellor of the District had to issue
an injunction upon the results of the
election. Citizens of Grenada, we
have no political friends to reward
nor political enemies to punish,
therefore stand from under any mis-
leading traps, artificial ensigns, frau
dulent tricks, and stand by the right,
honest thing. A fair, honest
expression of public opinion is all
that the anti-prohibitionists desire,
and the smiles Of Heaven nor the ap-
Of good men can not rest on
any other course.

There is not a colored man in this
county who can vote for prohibition
without reducing the chances of his
children's education. Stick a pin
there. As to religion, whenever you
vote for prohibition you exceed the
demands of the ten commandments,
the practices of the Prophets, the GUS
toms of Christ and the instructions of
Paul. Colored men, upon you large
ly depends the result of this election,
that will reduce your school term to
two months and bring upon you the
contempt of every prohibitionist in
this county. When you complain of
the short term Of the colored schools
in Senatobia, Sardis and other prohi-
bition towns in the State, these pro-
hibitionists will turn up the white of
their eyes and solemnly say, "you
nincOm poOps! you did ill.,"

OFF, with the prohibition rabies it is
because the virus Of arrangement

Wonder what some Of our prohibition
Doctors who believe in wine and
whisky as remedial agents would
think of being called a dog for using
the same? Shades of Rush, Physic,
Alternately, Stone, Mott and Others

As will be seen in the published
proceedings Of the prohibition meet
ing which was held at the Methodist
Church on Saturday a couple of
weeks since, the prohibitionists pro-
pose offering their speeches in their
respective churches at such times as
may be convenient, but at no time
do they propose to let the opposition
have a word 10 say to the contrary.
This, we say, looks to US like moral
c%owardice, and should be 80 regard
ed by every tair-minded citizen in
the county. Any question which
cannot be discussed by both sides
must be very weak, and is unworthy
ofthe support of any honest-thinking
man.

When VT say in these columns that
we are no prohibitionist, it must be
remembered that we, as well as many
other whisky advocates in this Gpun-
ty, are no consumers of alchoholiG or
spirituous liquors of any kind. Nor
can it be charged that we are bought
up by the whisky element, for our
prohibition friend Oyer the way
strove as hard for the whisky mems
patronage as we did--the only differ
ence being that WE We're the lowest
bidder. We advocate the sale of Ii
quor because it is legalized by the
constitution OF our country; because
it is legalized by the Scriptures in the
language of Christ himself; because
it is a plank in the platform of the
State and National Democratic par
ty; because We prefer the open sale Of
this traffic to the underground
method; because we do not propose
to dictate 10 our friend OF neighbor
what he shall or shall not drink, or
eat. as the case may be; because we
believe it is best for the commercial
interests of our town; because we do
not approve the mixing together of
church and State affairs; and, shall
we say it, because We are not dispos-
ed to rob the individual who is IN
gagged in a legitimate business. II
any man will show us wherein the
prohibition party guarantees the IL
quOr dealer value received for that
which they take away from him,
then we will admi. that prohibition
stands upon a fair basis and should
be entitled to this consideration ofthe
people, Our business community
well know that for some time it has
been nip and tuck" between this
place and West Point TO secure the
cotton and trade which comes from
the country lying between these two
points. West Point has decided to
continue the sale of liquor, and
should Grenada go "dry,n how much
of this eastern trade would come to
our town? This fight was once being
waged between Grenada and WinoDa.
WinoiIa got prohibition and Grenada
got the trade-the great bulk of it.
Look at Winopa to-day. We were a
citizen of that place for awhile when
whisky was sold there, and it was as
live and b~usiness-lika as any town
we ever entered To-day dozen of
those business houses are closed.
Others that rented for sixty, seventy
five and eighty dollars per month
now rent for twenty. twenty-five and
thirty dollars per month. This we
know our own personal knowledge.
Our prohibition friends admit that
the doing away with whisky will
necessarily increase taxation. How
much heavier a tax a our people
stand than they now have to pay?l
We grant honest motive to some pro-
hibitiGn!sts, but we do not hesitate to
say they are few and far between Is
it too much to charge that every ad-
vocate Of this modern reform meas
ure has. or expects to have in the
near future, some little Ratchet to !
grind? Verify, we say watch! Few
men are so Jealous N extending the
cause of morality that they overlook
the little dimes and dollars that they
imagine will pour in upon them at
the end Of the race. In other words,
few men advocate a cause except for
the Wherewith to make the mare
go.'

Brown and Colquit are both ex-
Governors of Georgia, and both are
United States Senators. Brown is a
Baptist, who drinks aglass of wine or
a brandy toddy without fearing that
it will abrogate his claims to Gods
heaven, and says that since prohibit
ton threw its chilling effects upon
Atlanta his property there has depre-
ciated twenty-five per cent. in value.
Colquit is . Methodist and stands
higher rsssvus tiru nrrrnoutsts Us u re-
ligionist than he does in the Senate as
a statesman. Brown gave a hundred
thousand dollars to endow q Baptist
College, and is known all through the
Union as a statesman of broad-gauge
views, COlquit is known far and wide
as q Sunday school advocate, and is
always on hand when this auxiliary
of the church is in session, Colquit
peaches prohibition as the new rev.
citation which excludes O drinking
mar from heaven. Brown sticks to
tie old creed Of Christ and his Apos-
ties which inculcates the doctrine
that,a man may use wine and whisky
te~mperately. and still make the land
ing on "Canaan's happy shore" Col
quit is striking for the Presidential
candidacy of the National Prohibition
party, and if it is to be given to any
one we hope that he will get it as he
is a head and shoulders above such
men as st. John. Leonard, and some
others.
