Capt. Il. Z. Suits has a yeung
girl at his home, who, ignorant
even of her family name, has no
knowledge OF her parents or
family, where she was born or
reared. Perhaps she has a faith
er or mother living, perhaps a
home awaiting her, and we hope
this publication may be the
means of attracting their atten-
ton
A year ago this month a man
and woman appeared in the
neighboThoOd below Phoenix,
whom some who saw them say
were gypsios and others class
as traBps. They elaImed TO
have come from Louisiana and
\ to have crossed at Vicksburg.
They were idle, worthless, vici-
Gus and cruel to Lizzie which
was the only name by which the
little girl they brought with them
was known, aud she often told
how much she wished TO be
freed from them. When they
ran off Lizzie was left behind
and was for some time taken
care of by different families.
Finally she was sent to the
county poOr-house. Capt. p. p.
Suits, the popular PresideH: OF
our Board of Supervisors, heard
of her peculiar case and drove
on. 10 see her. Thinking it no
place for her he took her home
TO his wife who has already be-
gun to be attached to the little
waif. Lizzie, as she is called.
Gun give no account of her past
life. She is apparently between
ten and twelve years of age, has
light hair, blue eyes and is rath
er plump. Her intellect ia fee
BILE. She is very amiable and
affectionate and a great tslker,
but talks so fast as not to speak
plain. She is very willing to
work and seems delighted when
any task is given her. When
asked about her father she says
his name was Charley Smith, his
money was stolen and that he
uaS fhrawp in tho river ord
killed. Unless claimed Capt.
Suits will endeavor to secure
her a position at the Natchez
Orphan asylum.
Our exchanges by giving a de.
scriptiOn of her and of the cir
cumstances may reach some of
her relatives or some one who
knew of her in the past.

CHALMERS.

Gen. J. X. Chalmers, candi.
date for Congress, addressed a
meeting here on Monday last,
His speech was mainly devoted
to the tariff and to the ad vocacy
of the protection doctrines OF
the Republican party. He avow.
ed himself a Republican and
congratulated the country upon
the fact that Cleveland and the
Democratic officials would 500 ,
have to be turned out. He pre-
dicted the election of Harrison
and Morton. IL was generally
remarked that the speech was
not as good as was expected
from Gen. Chalmers. But the
reason is plain. The General is
on the wrong side. IL will be
difficult for him or any one else
to make good speech on pro-
lection in these parts. 1t is iii
iicult TO convince our people
that taxation is good thing.
We get no benefit from a high
tariff. The speech attracted no
attention and did neither his
eau 'e OF himself any good. The
vote here will be for Cleveland
and Thurman. and Morgan for
Congress.
