Especial Dispatch to The Appeal ]
New Albany, Miss, October 6.-The
Watchman, the only paperin our coun-
ty, and which has been strongly DEM
ocratic, has been purchased by DIR. j.
f. Hawkins, formerly editor Leland
Record. 1t will be run in the interest
ofGen. Chalmers during this campaign.
He will make vigorous fight for his
! man and party, but will wastehis sweet
ness on the desert air. Another paper
, in the interest OF Democracy, we under
l stand, will likely be started here soon

eight ounces to the yard for i2s cent
ayard. How in the name Of common

y inches WIDE and 21lbs. to the yard,
o a strange thing to us. There is no US
denying the unpleasant fact, that bag
l. ging made from cotton cannot compel
y with the bagging made of jute. Ever
' attempt to crush tho bagging trust b
o making substitute for juto baggin
: of cotton will be failure, in our hun
y BILE opinion. The way to fight u
j trust is to use their own weapons---ere
