HOnOred for Good Deeds.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Mr. c. Men
elias, prominent member of the cot
ton exchange of this city, and lead
ing cotton exporter of Savannah, has
been honored by the king of Greece
i'll a way that will be very gratifying
to his many friends in this and other
countries. The consul general of
Greece, in this city, furnishes the fol-
lowing information with respect to
the matter:
Mr.. c. Menelas has just been hon
Ored by the king of the Hellenes, hav-
ing been made chevalier of the Royal
Order of the Redeemer of Greece.
The beautiful decoration of this order
consists of a silver cross, surrounded
by garland of laurel, on one side of
which are engraved in enamel the
arms of Greece, and on the other side
is the figure of the Bedeemer. The
cross is carried on the left hand side,
on the button hole, hung by a bright
piece of blue ribbon with white Dor
ders. Mr.. Menelas has received this
high honor, not only for being one OF
the purest of Greak patriots, but also
for being a generous patron of the
schools of his native place, MacedO-
mia, many youth of that country
having been educated at his expense.

4 Killing at WOOdville.

l.. G. johnson, Circuit Clerk OF
Wilkinson County was killed last
Monday by John S. Lewis, editor OF
the Woodville Republican. A Times

in the night of Sept. 2. Lewis after
ward overheard johnson and Huff
threaten to thrash him. Going home
he armed himself, and returning,

he threw Lewis down and was shot
through the head, dying instantly
Huff sprang over the stairs and was
badly stunned. An open knife was
found by JOhnsOn's body. Pending

For Attorney-General-A Very
Complimentary Letter.

The following very compliment
airy letter in regard to Hon. ]. w,
Booth, candidate for Attorney-Gen-
eral, will be read with interest
UxNIoN, No., Feb. 1o.-* = y
Now. it may look selfish, but if it
does / can't help it, when | speak
of the candidacy of the Hon. John
w. F;ooth for Attorney-G General, /
am making his fight my fight wher-
ever / can, and / know that every
man who knows him like We do
would do the same thing. As to
his standing at home | need only
refer to the fact of his last canvass
an d election as Representative for
this county. His opponent at the
time, Judge A. j. Seay, is one OF
the Republican leaders of this State
and is a wheelhorse in his party,
and Franklin county's Republican
majority is over 600; yet, neverthe-
less Booth got there by over 500
majority. This tells more than
words can express. He was an
orphan; his father and mother died
when he was a mere infant, leaving
him penniless. HIS uncle raised
him, and at the age of Is he enter
ed the army and remained there
until the close of the war, under
the late lamented Gov. Marmaduke
when he came home a tramp and a
cripple. He again went to his
uncle's, and took up his abode in
an old negro log cabin, where he
spent his time educating himseli
and studying law and made him
self what he is. He was born in
this county, and old Franklin is
proud of him. She loves her son;
she has tried him and found him
true to his trust. She is therefore
standing by him andis urging him
on, and if nominated for Attorney
General, she viii give him such a
majority as will astonish the ma
tives. though she is Republican and
he a staunch and uncompromising
Democrat. She cares nothing about
that, she wants him at the head OF
the State legal department, and see
the laws enforced against the heart
less robbing corporations, which we
know he will take pride in doing,
as he demonstrated last winter in
the House. I am, very truly,

Columbia for centraIia.

The all-absorbing question that
is agitating some of our neighbor-
ing towns-Mexico and Centralia-
is, which shall be the favored one
in regard to obtaining the Chicago,
Hannibal & Springfield railroad?
Mexico, under the able pilotage of
Col Bob White, of the LEDGER,
seems determined to carry off the
plum. but we fear that she will get
left. Try as hard as she may, it
seems to us a hopeless task to con-
vince practical engineers that hers
is the most advantageous route.
The road should, and without
doubt, will, run through Centralia.
The topography of the country as
we'll as Centralia capital say that
the road must come through that
place. With all due respect to our
Mexico neighbors, We think that
Columbia will have to pull with
Centraiia for the possession of the
|C.. H. & s. railroad.-Columbia
Columbian.
This being the case Mexico
should pull for Jefferson City in
stead of for Columbia as We have
been doing.
