stage leading a monkey. 4 human

was loaded with coal oil and f,ri,.y

suit was very much similar to the

As far IA possible, says q writer,
patronize home industries. This is
the way to build up q prosperous
community, and to keep a goodly
number of the dollars of the daddies
circulating at home. If you have
much 70 gain by purchasing elsew-
here, of course 1t is all right, for
people will buy where they can do
best, but be sure you are doing the
best and not saving dime and losing
a dollar. Home dealers patroniZe
you, help to pay the taxes, help to
create the general prosperity in
which you share. More than this,
they are neighhOrs, and are entitled
to consideration as auch. That town
is generally most prosperous where
the people stand shoulder, cord tally
clasping hands in the march of pro-
gress. Patroni2e home industries
and encourage them.

III regard to violating the terms OF
contract made with railroad compa.
MES leads Us to this conclusion, The
The State Of Mississippi, through its
regular agent. the Legislature there
OF, has at yarious and sundry differ
ent times, made various and divers
different contracts, containing va
rlous and different terms, with vari-
Gus and sundry corporations. With
some Of these corporations, to-wit:
railroad companies, the State through
its regular legal agent, the Iegisla-
tur", among other Inducements held
out to the railroad companies, prom
issd and contracted and agreed to and
with these said companies, that if
they the said companies, would ex-
pend so much OF their capital in the
construction Of railroad tracks and
other improvements Of a like nature
within the limits of this State, with
in q certain time, then the state, by
reason of these improvements ana
investments, would remit the
tsxes on the property Of the
eompalies, for Il certain length of
time, 1t was the opinion of the then
existing State agent, the Legislature,
that these railroads would material
ly aid in developing the resources of
the country would induce imigra-
lion, would very greatly enhance the
value Of real estate near to the lines
Of said roads, and ht reason of access
Of population. increased values In
property, real and personal, would
finally, very materially, rebound to
the general prosperity and good of
the country ,at large. The State made |
this contract through the Legislature,
and the Governor signed it. The rail |
road companies believing that the
great commonwealth Of our grand |
old Mississippi was acting in good
faith, went to work and built their
roads, erected their houses, opened
up some Of our wilderness, and in so
doing spent millions Of dollars, right
here within our State They thought
that our State was governed aud
controlled by honorable men, and
never dreamed that the State was
not worthy OF the most implicit
confidence. 1t seems, however that
they had Il better opinion of us than
we deserved.

THE CANNING BUSINESS.

Hoping that some of our energeti,
citizens will catch the inspiration
and embark in the canning business
We copy an article from the Manu-
features Record, to show what is be
ing done elsewhere. The record says
Some weeks since we told how th.
canning industry in Botetourt coun
ty, Va, starting few years ago with
one farmer canning his own fruit.
in his dwelling, until gradually sue,
cess enabled him to build factory
had developed until there are now
a dozen factories in operation in that
county. Speaking of these twelve
factories, the Herald, of Fincastle,
the county seat, says: If any Of the
twelve have failed to make money
we have yet to hear of it. On the
contrary, it is well known that all
the gentlemen engaged in the busi-
ness made money, some Of them
making an exceedingly good thing of
it, while the farmers and laborers
around each establishment were
greatly benefited; the former by the
cultivation of tomatoes and fruit,
and the latter by receiving
regular employment. The articles
canned the past season consisted
chiefly of tomatoes, sweet corn,
peaches and apples. so successful
has been this industry that nineteen
new factories will be established
the coming spring, making n total of
thirty-one in that county. In build
ing up such an extensive canning
business Boteteourt conuy has set an
example that might be followed with
great profit by hundreds of other
Southern counties. Here in one
county in no way superior to many
Others in all parts of the South, for
raising vegetables and fruits, that
has twelve successful canning
factories in operation and nineteen
more preparing to start np in the
spring. This Is Il business in which
there is little danger of Over-pro-
SO long as iirstclass goods
are canned and the work well done.
The best grades Of canned goods are
meeting with an ever increasing |
demand, and the South annually
consumes hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars worth Of canned goods
purchased of other sections. Let the
example of Botetourt county stimu-
late others.

4 CoIOred Bishops Tie'rs.


The Rev. j. r.. Thompson, who is a resi-
dent Of Newburg, y. v, is a Bishop of the
African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church,
and has a number of the Southern and
Western States under his charge. Theseh e
visits frequently, and has just returned from
a tour through The Southern States. In a
conversation with a representative of the
New York Herald Bishop Thompson said
the colored people Of the South had ia a
large measure forsaken the Republican par
ty. So far as he could learn, the colored
people would largely support Cleveland and
Thurman. He said the colored people had
outgrown the fear that was preached into
them four years ago, and that the poverty
and misery that was then predicted for the
e~x-slayes by the Republicans was now
known to be only a scare. The Bishop said
that President Cleveland had made asplen-
did record. and Instead of making life mis-
cradle for the old slaves Of the South, as
the Republicans tried to make them believe
he would. he had done everything he could
to assist them. Aud, with a significant
wink and smile, the Bishop added, "Aud
you'll find plenty Of our people in the North
here who will support Cleveland and Thur
man."

At Charlottesville Virginia, on April 10
1862, was organized The Ladies Kitchen,
as it was called. 1t was first suggested 10y
the daughters of Senator Mason, Of Nir-
GINA, who came to Charlottesville directly
from their old home in Winchester, where
the women were particularly noted for their
devotion and systematic attention to disa-
bled soldiers" And surely what is true OF
Winchester is true of all the Virgiuians Of
all the Valley.
The Ladies Kitchen, at Charlottesville
continued its merciful work from day to
