Jerome had the run Of the nristocrncy, and
IL is told that he took advantage Of this TO
play joke at the incidental expense Of the
queen. He visited Osborne, the royal resi-

"blooded' friends, and in one OF the rooms
the eagle eve Of the joker lighted on some Of
the royal stationery. oh" he cried, rails
ing his eyes 10 heaven, "if l could only per-
chance have one Of those crested sheets to
tako home T. America, how envied would I
be thercr
His friend thought il could he arranged,
and soon the joker had his prize. Soon after
this Mr.. Bennett gave a dinner on bis yacht,

TIKE BALD-HEADED MAN,
BYiJ. X. ALMox, OF THE DURANr DEMocR.
Delivered before the Mississippi Press
Association at Grenada. May 9, 1883.

You ask If there's place on top of the earth
Where Charity dwelleth and bears its true
worth;
Where mercy and kindness are locked hand
in hand,
And PHYS tears fall at the slightest commando
tell you there:is, and find it you can,
II you'll only apply to-
The Bald Headed Mani
Does he loaf? Does he swear? Does he cheat ?
Does he drink?
Is he greedy for gain, and false, do you think?
Does he gossip and tattle? Does he backbite
and hate?
Does he complain of his luck both early and
late?
No! our hero is built on far different plan
We commend to your hearts
The Bald-headed Man!
His virtues are many, his vices are few
To his friends and companions he's faithful
and true
He is frank and good.natured-to please is
his pride,
And he's known for his usefulness both far
and wide.
80 you'll flnd him an 'earnest of life's noble
plan
This ubiquitous hero
The Bald-Headed Man!
Go to yon structure pride of the town,
Where the Judge sits in equity, with stern,
legal frown;
Where lawyers are plenty and clients are few;
Where officials wait patiently for something
to do;
Step back from the railing, the crowd closely
scan,
There you'll find 'mong the wisest-
The Beld.Headed Man!
Then:golto yon church, whose steeple SO high
Like an index finger points to the sky;
Gaze in on the occupants, bowed down in
prayer,
And note, II you will, each worshiper there
And you'll see at once in this christian clan
The devout, the faithful-I
The Bald. Headed Man!
Rush to yon playhouse, whose doors open
wide
To welcome the lhrong of sight.seers inside
Where music is swelling and beating the air,
Enhancing the ears Of old, young and fair;
Examine the rows Of seats, If you can,
And you1l find up in 'front.'
The Bald. Headed Man!
30 the portals of Heaven will ope wide fer
one
Who has left no work that.he could do
undone;
Who has been patient inlwinter and fiy-time
as we'll,
And took note of each lock as downward 1t
fell;
81. Peter will smile, as the Gate-Book he'll
scan,
Then hand "free ticket" to-

pressive. On the whole, the effort was
very creditabl to Mr.. Bowers as thinker
and speaker, and was received with en-
phatic demonstrations of applause. His
address will be seen elsewhere. An in
strumental duet was then rendered by
Miss Belle Thomas and Morris Bernhard
in good style, presenting them both as
well versed in the art Of music. The
poem OF J. X. Almon, entitled "The
Bald-H Headed Man," was the hit of the
evening, and was delivered by Mr.. Almon
in good style, bringing down the house
with laughter and applause at repeated
intervals. A vocal duet by Mrs. J. W.
Buchanan and Mrs. S. E. Shackelford,
was sung in sweet and expressive tones.
The recitation by Miss Annie Slack was
delivered in fine elocutionary manner
Her voice was sweet, and her manner
pleasing and graceful. Miss Belle
Thomas then played an instrumental
solo in fine style. A recitation
by Miss Annie Manship, of Jackson,
Miss, was the most comical, amusing
and laughable presentation of the
evening The audience were so highly
elated that by long vociferous
encores, she again appeared and
rendered another laughable piece
wherein truth and humor were SO init
mately blended. that it was hard to tell
which predomlnated. Miss Manship is
certainly one of the finest elocutionists
we ever heard. The essay of Mr.. J. H.
Anderson of the Greenville Review on
Journalism and Journalists, abounded
in some happy hits as well as many SEN
sible applications. The vocal quartette,
"Come Where the Lilies Bloom" by
Miss Cora Chamberlin, Messrs N. J.
Jackson and L. Bernhard was sung with
practiced voices,in manner that proved
them all splendid vocalists and accomp-
llshed musicians. This beautiful song
was we'll received by the audience. Miss
May Savory Of the Tupelo Journal, read a
poem composed by Miss Lulah Ragsdale,
who was unable to be present. The
evenings exercises closed with beauti-
full instrumental duet by Misses Belle
Thomas and Anna Nicholson. This en-
tertainment throughout was a SPLENDID
success, and the large crowd leftin happy
spirits and highly gratifed at the
evenings results.
Mr.. w. G. Mclean, as Master of Cere-
monies, acted his part in an easy and
pleasant manner.

Thursday Mornings Proceedings
THE SPLENDID ADDRESS OF MIR. ]. C. LONG
STREET AND THE VISIT TO
THE COLLEGE.

Thursday morning the Press Associa-
ton convened, and after transacting
some business, Hon. J. c. Longstreet, by
previous request, delivered to the Press
especially, and the crowd present, forci
BILE, eloquent and instructive address on
the subject of the Confederate monu-
ment to be erected at Jackson. The As
sociation, together with q number of our
citizens, then proceeded to the Grenada
Collegiate Institute, the pet and pride of
Grenada. Rev. T. J. Newell made few
very sensible remarks to the Press in
regard to the College in the past and
present, which were highly appreciated.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick and Mrs. Payne played
charming duet, with best musical taste.
A chorus by one of the classes was high
ly appreciated. The recitation-"The
Jiners'-by Miss Annie B. Alston
showed her to be good elocutionist
with fine dramatic talent. Another reci-
tat:on entitled "The Bald-Headed Man.,
by young Miss Dora Scruggs, showed her
to be young lady OF fine elocutionary
powers and histrionic talent. The vocal
duet by Miss kirkpatrick and Mrs.
Payne was sung with pleasing effect. By
special request, Miss Annie Barksdale
recited "The Sioux Chiefs Daughter"
with all the pathos of an inspired soul
showing her to be wonderful in the elo.
cutionary line. Mr.. J. H. Henderson
on behalf OF the Press, made few hap
py and effective remarks in the College
for the delightful entertainment OF the
occasion. Col. ]. L, Powers was called
on and made very pleasing talk, es-
pecially to the little ones. We, as well
as the Press, feel much indebted to Rev.
T. J. Newell, the worthy President OF the
College, for the pleasant and successful
entertainment.

Wednesday Nights Literary Fnter-
tainment.
A PLEASANT AND SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR.

Wednesday night was set apart for
the Literary Entertainment ior the Press
and the people, which brought together
the largest assemblage that ever met in
the large Mullin Hall. There were fully
eight hundred people, as the hall was
densely packed. The exercises opened
with music by the band, which was fol-
lowed by devout and patriotic prayer
by Rev. E. B. Miller, the Baptist pastor
of this place. The Greeting Double

Mrs. J. w. Buchanan, Mrs. S. E. Shack

and Belle Knox, was sung with happy
effect, and ELECTED much applause.
Miss Annie Barksdale, according
to the programme, stepped forward
and commenced in her usual
graceful manner to deliver the address Of
welcome on behalf Of the city. The ad-
dress was exceedingly original and ap-
propriate, rejecting much credit on her
taste and genius. Her beautiful face,
her handsome form, and her splendid
address, made her figure upon which
all eyes were concentrated. She spoke
with great ease and self possession, in an
unfaltering voice, and her address was
received with decided applause. We
publish the address elsewhere. Miss
Annie wore handsome pink surah,
court train, with pink lace over dress.
Ornaments, diamonds and natural flow
ers.
Mr.. E. ]. Bowers, Of the Bay St. Louis

Col. A II. Whitaeld's Transcendently
brilliant Address.


The Mississippi Press Association, to-
gether with our people generally, con.
vened at Mullin Hall Wednesday morn
ing. The Hall was filed to overhowing
with the best classes Of
our people,and was decorated in
beautiful and captivating manner
"Nearer my God to Thee was beauti-
fully rendered by the Holly Springs
Silver Cornet Band, after which Rev.J,
G. Carothers, pastor Of the Presbyterian
Church, offered up an appropriate and
impressive prayer. Col. A. H. Whit
field, a prominent and able lawyer Of
this city, then delivered the address of
welcome on behalf OF our citizens, which
occupied about thirty minutes time, and
was listened to with the most profound
attention, every eye being riveted upon
him. This mastery address Of Col.
Whitfield's, abounded in the purest
classic taste,-the most eloquent senti-
ment and sublime thoughts. In fact, it
covered him all over with glory as a
profound and splendid orator. 1t was
common remark afterwards to lear
many OF the old members of the Press
saw that Col. Whitfield's address far sur
passed any similar effort that they ever
heard, and other distinguished men
were heard to remark that it was one of
the finest speeches they had ever heard
in their lives, while all the new members
were perfectly carried away with its un-
surpassed excellence. At the conclusion
of this address Col. Whitfield was loud
ly and warmly applauded. We hope to
have the pleasure of publishing this ad-
dress next week. Col. Emmett L. Ross
of the Canton Picket, responded on+be-
half of the press. His address abounded
in some beautiful thoughts, practical
ideas and humorous illusions which
were well received and heartily applaud
cd. Mr.. B. G. Adams, our distinguished
and popular Mayor, then stepped for
ward and in few pertinent, eloquent
and well-timed remarks. in graceful
manner, turned over the keys of the city
to Mr.. w. A. Henry, President of the
Association, which he accepted in few
appropriate remarks. Mr.. W. A. Henry
the President, then delivered his annual
address which was applicable .in pur-
pose, logical in argument and forcible in
expression. At intervals during the ad-
dresses the band rendered sweet and ap-
propriate music. Mr.. W. G. Mclean,
the talented and brilliant lawyer, as
Master of Ceremonies introduced each
speaker in graceful and accomplished
manner to the public. Thus ended the
morning exercises, and the Press Asso-
citation proceeded to business.
