Rev. DR.. Wheat, of Oxford, preach

lay.
DIR. McHenry is still in Greenwood
on a professional tour. He has been
absent 10Y very near three weeks,
but will probably return about the
latter part of next week.
The supper on last Wednesday
night. at the residence of Mr.. A. V.
B. Thomas, for the benefit of the
Presbyterian Church, was a grand
success, for which the young ladies
Of the Earnest Workers Society
deserve a great deal of credit.
One of the most delightful social
events of the season was the Calico
lress and Neck-tie party at Mrs F.
B. Nichols on thursday night the 1st
inst. The young ladies made calico
dresses for themselves and then
made a neck-tie of the same goods.
These neck-ties were distributed
among the young men, each making
his W selection, but not knowing
which young lady had dress like it.
The young ladies assembled at Mrs.
Hoffa's and the voting gentlemen
called and each escorted the young
ady who had q dress on like the
ueck-tie he wore.
Mrs Nicholi, as usual, then opened
Ter hospitable doors and all were
made to feel welcome and at home.
She spared no pains to entertain, aud
the evening was n of exceeding
pleasantness. The young folks left
after hearty enjoyment, about Il
O'Clock, all feeling greatful to Mrs.
Nichols and bearing away delightful
memories of the occasion. Why not
some other worthy lady follow the
example thus set by Mrs. Nichols
and contribute to the enjoyment OF
the young folks. These amusements
IRE pleasant and refining and help to
rive dun care. They throw sun
hine into many lives otherwise
;louded.

The President takes the fesul
calmly and philosophically. H.
talked freely about the returns an,
the increased Republican vote. HI
is willing to admit that his position
on tie tariff and the decided stand
be took in favor of revenue reduction
may have lost him a good many
votes, but he still maintains that il
it were to do ove again he would fol,
low the dictates of his conscience.
THE President received no tele.
grams from the national Democratic
committee until late In the Afternoon.
From what be has heard, however,
he ~confesses that he Is defeated. He
attributes his defeat to no one III
particular and says Hill and Tam,
many Hall treated him with perfect
fairness and that he has no fault t
nul at all.

The Grand Jury, recently in SEES.
sion ut Memphis found q true bill
against the members Of the Bagging
Trust, who are residents of st. Louis.
There are several counts in the ind
ictment, but the main issue Is that
the trust has c%onspired together to
injure the public. A requisition will
be made upon the Governor of Ten
nessee, for the culprits, but it is very
questionable in our opinion, as to
whether or not they will ever be
brought to trial. The first question
which will arise will be as to the
jurisdiction. The conspiracy was
entered into beyond the borders of
Tennessee, Rnd we cannot see how
her jurisdiction could possibly ex-
tend into another State,
We would very much like to see
full justice meted out to the scound-
rels who inaugurated this gigantic
robbery, but we do not think it can
be accomplished in the manber In
Dictated by this Tennessee Grand
Jury.

The election of Harrison and Nor
ION would signify to this section a
very black cloud with a crimso n
lining. Put any construction on this
metaphor you please, but it will not
tltef the facts nor change the very
grave problem with which this part
If the nation is now confronted.
The race issue will be intensified
md the probabilities of conflicts very
Greatly increased. And these conflicts
Will mean blood and blood is ofcrim-
son hue.

There is DC Disgusting the fact that
the Alliance is passing through the
most critical period Of its history
The causes and details of the ciSis are
veil known. Personal animositie-
md bitter %prejudices have been en-
rendered. In many instances con
idence has been destroyed, and the
suspicion prevails that in capacity
Jules where genius should guide, and
dishonesty has place where Il e
broednst trust and highest integrity
IRE required. The Mercury believes
hat the worst is over. The Mercury
knows that the leading causes of dis
,Ord have been harmonized, and that
there is no reasonable obstacle in the
way of complete unity.-Mercury.

As we go to press, the news from
the election Is Gf such a character
that We are unable to give our read
ers h definite report, the indications
are that Harrison and Morton have
been elected, New York has gone
for the Republican candidates for
President aud Fice-President with
out doubt. How this esult was
brought about 1t Is useless for US to
discuss. IL shows treachery on the
part of some of the contending Demo
cratic factions. They traded liberal
ly In votes. The Sun, the World,
the Herald and other New York pa
pers gives 1t up. Some seem yet to
entertain hopes, to us it looks like
hoping against hope. The House of
Representatives is claimed by the
Republicans. We trust this is not
so. But be the result what it may,
God still rules and our country l..
safe. Forgot the heart aches and
moves on. We have our State and
South land safe and with these we
can live with our local affairs In our
own hands, we car press steadily on
and leave it to time and our own
worth to work out a grand destiny
the result will leaves US a lesson per-
haps in the future. We can bide our
time and wait four years more. The
great truths involved in the canvass
just closed will win in the long run.
Like all grest reforms it takes time
to do its perfect work. The institu-
tinns of 80 years can hardly be up
rooted in a single CANVASS, but that
the Democratic position in this can
vass will win in the long run is just
as sure as the u rises and sets.
Then let us work, and wait and
trust. The sun will shine Just as
bright now as it did before the cleo
ton and the birds of spring will con-
tinue to sing just as sweetly.
Let US not despond, but with an ur-
faltering trust in the eternal princi-
pie and truth, resolve to preserve
our State and county, pure in the
hands of her own Democratic sons.

Mr.. G. w. Christian, as will be
seen by his card in this issue has
withdrawn his application for princi-
pal of the city schools. This action
Of Mr.. Christian Is IN his opinion
conducive to the general welfare of
the community. In our humble
opinion it displays a self sacrificing,
patriotic spirit that is rarely met with
in these degenerate days. Mr.. Chris
tian resigned a position with the
Southern Express Company to take
charge Of the school here, when the
school had gone down to absolutely
nothing. By earnest faithful and
diligent work, hard work too, be
built the school up to very respect
able proportions, and now a portion
of this community with the proven
bal ingratitude of republics would
fain cuss him and kick him out. We
know whereof we speak, with regard
to the condition of the school when
he first assumed control of it because
we were in a position, at that time,
TO know all about it.
Mr.. Christian is al earnest, labor
ious, painstaking teacher, and it will
take our board of trustees a long time
to find II better nan and d better
teacher for this place.
Notwithstanding the withdrawal
Of his application, we hope the trust
ees will tender him the appointment.
We think he is certainly entitled to
it, and ought TO have it, as a matter
Of simple justice.
