DIR. Luther Sexton for Governor

From the Copiah Signal
, Rejecting over the many suitable
persons upon whom the gubernatorlal
mantle might fall, we know of no one
more worthy than DR.. Luther Sexton.
There are others whom we would cor
daily support, but in our opinion
there are none who would fill this
high office of trust more creditably
than this distinguished gentleman.
DR.. Sexton is native of COpiah
county, Mississippi, and like many
other noble Mississippians, has CON
fined his labors mostly within the linn
its of his State. His fame us a
physician and surgeon has far extend
ed beyond the bound of his native
State. Being President of the State
Medical Association he would have u
large following among his medical
brethren, and we consider it about
time for his noble profession, of which
he is such an honored member,to have
some political recognition. He is not
only man of profound learning, be-
ing a medal man of our State Univer-
sity and the University of Louisiana,
but man who would also make a
first honor Governor of integrity and
firmness. With these requisite traits
of character that should predominant
in q Governors qualifications, blended
with his christian character, he would
make Mississippi an executive worthy
of admiration. The DR.. is compare
lively young man, but has attained Il
position only reached by some i'll adj
vanced age.
The greatest eulogium wecan speak
for him is his past record, and with
pride we say Copiah county, in the
person of Dr.. Sexton, can furnish a
man eligible to this high Office unri-
vailed in talent He is thoroughly
cOnversant with the laws of MISSISSIPPI
pi and of the United States, few law
ycrs being better posted upon the
science of government than he. We
feel fully satisfied that South Missis-
sippi would be one accordant voice i'll
his support. DR.. Sexton would be
solid with the State press, of which
he has been an hOnored member. We
therefore ask the brethren to advocate
one of Democracy's most useful con
stituents. The man who holds tho
reins of the government for the next
four years should be Il business MAJ
in the strictest sense of the term. DR.
Sexton would fully measure up to this
standard. In him, the farmer of {
dozen years ago, has developed into
one of the largest tax payers and rea
) estate owners in our State.
A man thus qualified to manage hi
, affairs would handle the ship of Stat,
with equal capacity. True to his rails
ing the DR.. is still interested in agri
culture, having planting interests il
counties of Copiah, Lincoln and Pike
DR.. Sexton has manifested no aspira
ton for this office, but if he should b,
called on to serve his State in this
capacity he would doubtless accede t.
the wishes of his admirers.

The Gulf and Ship Island Rail
Road.

Capt. w. II. Hardy, President OF
the Gulf and Ship Island railroad, is
still in New York, working in the
interest of the completion of that
great work. The difficulty he has
had in the matter of financial negO-
tiations during the last two years has
been due to the tendency in Con-
gress of the bill to forfeit unearned
land grants. Capitalists were unwill-
ing to invest in the securities OF
road largely based upon it's real
estate expectations while there was
danger that at any moment the bill
above referred to might become a
law and forfeit the lands on either
side of the grade before they could
be earned by the completion of the
work. The bill failed, however, and
Congress has adjourned, so that the
company has another twelve months,
at least, in which to lay down the
ties and rails of the fifty-two miles
of the seventy-seven graded between
Hattiesburg and the Gulf, that are
still incomplete.
We wish them the best of luck and
believe they will achieve success.
They deserve it.-Aberdeea Examiner.

A neatly printed card informs lis
that Hon. j. s. Sexton and Miss Lii
liam Il. Wise, who We're united in the
holy bonds of wedlOck at Union
Chapel, jefferson county, Oh March
Goth, are now Sat home" to their
friends in Hazlehurst. This was a
most happy and appropriate union OF
hearts and hands. Mr.. Sexton is one
of the leading members of the Missis-
sippi bar, and christian gentleman
whom to know is to honor and ad-
mire; while his bride is one of the
brightest and most accomplished of
all the lovely daughters of our State.
She will be remembered as the pretty
and modest valedictOrian at Whit
worth College i'll June, 1885, since
which time she has taken post grad
uate course in music and elOcutiOn at
Mont Eagle, Tenn, and won high
reputation as IA teacher in the Union
Church Academy. A home presided
over by such one cannot fail to be a
home of perennial sunshine and bright
ness, and every friend who enters its
halloed precincts will be impressed by
it's graceful hospitality and refining
influence.
