MEN Oh UlHlld1l COtill y, utAb
Tuesday YOU will lie called upon to
settle the vexed county seat cues
ton. A review of the disgraceful
actions of certain persons and the
evil effects Of their course will
serve as a guide to your actions on
Tuesday next. While no fair mind
ed man can or does blame the
opposition for using every honor
able means st their command to
secure the prize don't forget that
Mllbrook's line Of action has been
che unbroken series of falsehood,
trickery and taithlessness. The
removal Of the records to Graves
addition was fraud, and the keep
ing CT them declared illegal by the
Supreme Court. The calling of the
bogus election last month was an
attempt to bulldoze our citizens.
The forging OF names upon the late
remonstrance wa a ,e # deviltry
worthy of old Nick himself.
Enough for their deeds of villainy.
What lave we suffered? Take the
surrounding counties, why is it that
they outnumter us in population
and YEA tn? Can it be our soil is
less fertile? Why is it that a
steady stream of immigration las
poured through our county west
ward bound? Can it be that the
Inv Of orr land is not beautiful
Well, hardly so. All unite in say
ing we have soil for fertility I'M
surpassed in the northwest; coun-
try for beauty and desirability all
that man could desire. But the
idea Of squabbling over a county
seat fight is repulsive. They say
settle this matter and We would like
to come among you.

The old soldiers are watching the
proceedings of the present congress
in vain to see some measure adj
vanced that will relieve their needy
comrades. Somebody will be asked
to explain his negligence next fall.
We would suggest to the veteran )
that they spot certain "blatherskites
of both political parties and defeat
them next fall. This government
owes debt to our citizen soldiers
that dollars and cents can cot lqui-
da e Some Of them we're paid in
dollars worth less than fifty cents,
others were never paid anything.
Now certain nincompoops who were
either lodging the recruiting officers
or were tied 10 their mothers apron
string during that terrible period
now when we have atreasury burst
ing with plenty are greatly exercised
lest they be accused Of slualderlne
the dear prol l., money Old vet
ems, put all that class IN the blacf

Editor Democrat-Star:
1t is DER, the battles lost!
Sick and sore, we connt tho cost.
The tale is told-tho race is run.
The seat belongs to Harrison.
This is about all We have 10 say
about 1t. We have plenty t0think
and talk about nearer home; and
besides, we do not feel that any
thing we could say would change
The result.
The UverseerS have measured
and posted the public road 10

full force patching those axfAI
mud holes.

A ONE.SIDED DISCUSSION.

Editor DemOcrnt-Star;
Aprapos of a One-sided discus
sion going on in your paper. ! send
YOU the following extract and ask
lis publication. OUTSIDER
Mr.. Wesley, after preaching in
Dundee once, wrote III his Journal,
There is seldom fear Of wanting
u congregation in Scotland. But
The misfortune is they know every.
thing; so they learn nothlng."
The >cots are a very knowing
people, but all The vie men are
not confined to Scotland. There is
"A sprinkIins of them 10 be found
almost everywhere-men who know
more than all The Wise men who
have preceded them, and abund-
anily more than all who now dare
10 differ from lhem.-U United Pres
byteIiGn.

WE MEAN BUSINESS.

We now give notice to our
subscribers thatafter the first
day of January, 1889, we
shall revise the subscription
list of the DEMOCRAT-STAR,
and shall drop from the list a
number of delinquents that
we have carried as long as
we can afford to unless
settlement is made by that
time. The circulation OF the
DEMOCRAT-STAR is becOm-
ing quite large, and without
additional outlay for increase
of facilities VIC will not be
able to get off the edition
with a much further in
crease. Hence, we cannot
afford to carry delinquents.
There are many of our old
friends and patrons we would
dislike to drop, but business
is business, and we must con-
fine our edition to paid up,
bona fde subscribers.
We also earnestly request
all indebted to the DEMO
CRAT-STAR for advertising
and job printing to come for
ward at once and settle.

Scranton Far Ahead of Mobile.

The Mobile correspondent OF
The New Orleans Times. Democrat
says:
The Tombigbee river steamer 9.
w. Anderson has returned from
Scranton, Miss, forty miles south
of Mobile, where she went to re-
ceive a thorough Overhanling. The
Anderson returns as neat as a new
pm, with a new hull, her machin-
cry in good order and cabin refit-
ted, ready to enter the winter
trade.
Mobile must regret that in the
matter of economy, Scranton is,tar
ahead of her, and il is said as much
as cne-third lower in prices. Why
this is so is a question for the Mo-
bil5 mechanics to answer, for il Is
stated that The Mobile mechanics
go to Scranton and there find plen-
ty of work.

Who AXE t'ScALAwAGs Yr-The
New Orleans States thus defines
the meaning of the word "Scala-
wag." Perhaps some Of our peO-
pie here have heard of these crea-
lures before:
A scalawag is an exc Confederate
soldier who, after TIE war in which
he was physically crushed by force
Of arms, came home TO crawl and
fawn before the dominant faction
OF his cOnquerOrs, ~recanting the
principles which, residing in The
soul OF every native SOutherneF,
are as immortal as the soul itself
OF Constitutional liberty and the
supremacy OF the white race. This.
Ia terse definition, is what we call
a scalawag. We make no dIslinc-
ton between a scalawag dating
back from 1868 and one dating
from 1854.

Destruction by Fire of the Te-
garden Hotel.

Mississippi City, Nov. 27.-The
Tegarden Hotel was burned to the
ground last night. AT about l
o'clock this morning Mrs. Alex
ander was aroused by smoke in her
apartment and found fire ON the
floor OF her room aud on The gal
lery. Her alarm Of fire aroused
Hon. S. Ii. Terral, lie Vert Clark,
Esq, and numerous members of
The bar attending circuit court now
in session, and they barely had
time TO escape from the building
before IT. was Il mass of flame.
The old Tegarden Hotel was a
wooden structure, a part Of which
was built before The war. 1t had
been enlarged since that time, and
under The charge OF Colonel 10.
Nixon was ten years ago one OF the
most popular hostlerles of the
coast. 1t was in this house that
the lamented Oscar Nixon. Jr.,
married his bride. 1t was hallow-
ed by memories of the late DR..
Tegarden.
The fire broke out evidently
from a defective hue. The house
had been recently leased by Mrs.
Alexander. She had moved con-
siderable property to the place. as
had also her sister recently from
Michigan. Her loss is a total one.
Col. Nixon is probably insured.
The inmates, including Judge
Terral, Leveret Clark and other
members of the bar barely had
time TO escape with their lives.
The place burned down so quickly
that the neighhors knew nothing
of it until morning.

COME SOUTH.

Already we have chilling reports
from the North OF blows, billiards,
snow and ice, the earnest begin
ming of a long and stormy session
of II Northern winter. The DEMO.
CRAT-STAR has number of read
ers in that cold region, some of
whom we have met and admired,
and il is justsssuch times as tins
that we like 10 remind them OF the
Sunny South, and, especially, that
lovely portion of ii known as the
Mississippi Gulf Coast. We like
TO tell them in The midst of their
billiards. that here The broad and
s.lken leaved banana still steals
from The sunlight its radiant sheen
and the grasshopper has scarcely
carrolled the last note of its sum-
mer song. That here we have no
winter blockados, nor home quar-
antines TO shut us up in The con.
Sumptive, parched air of artificially
heated air tight rooms. Our gar
dens are still green, our roses still
bloom, and amid them our wives
and children may ramble and gam
Dol without stint or pinch, while
breathing the mild though biacing
and %pertumed air of ii tropical
winter.
We have health and wealth more
precious, lasting and beneficial
than all the gold, the stocks and
bonds Of the GouldS, Vanderbilts,
Asiors and Stewards combined,
and we have room for thousands.
All the year round whe have our
vegetables, game, fish, and
oysters in profusiOn and extensive
Observation-Disclosures net exceeded
IN quantity or quallly anywhere
else on the globe.
Ii Is not necessary TO 60 TO the
barren sands of a southern PENN
to find a tropical climate,
when we have all of the essentials
md many advantages here on the
nigh sand beach of the warm wa
cred gulf, with a productive soil,
covered with timber and grass Of
,reat value and variety and capa-
Die OF yielding food tor man and
BEAST. We have among us a mum
Der of recent accessions from the
and expect a greater num-
Der this winter. Come and bring
your energy and enterprise, your
muscle and your brain and your
money if you are so fortunate as TO
AVE it.
