plate leaving here and taking up their
abode in the city Of Greenville. Col.
Nelson is one Of our most prominent
lawyers, and Mrs. Nelson is known
throughout the entire section as being
one of the best teachers. She has been
Principal Of the WoodviIle Female
Seminary for number of years, and
has always given universal satisfaction;
and should she conclude to leave us,
her influence IN this aud other direc-
tions, will be sadly mssed.-Woodville
Courier.
General Reuben Davis yesterday re-
ceived from Houghton, Mifiiin Il Co.,
the publishers of his work, -RecolIec-
tions of Mississippi aud Mississippians,"
a letter from which we make the fol-
lowing extract: I'VE have received
your favor of the 18th; we hope to
put your book to press this week, in
which case we will probably be able to
send you copies by the end of the
month. VIII you kindly send us def
mite order for such number ofvolumes
as will supply your present subscribers.
SO far as the general public is concern
cd we perhaps cannot furnish supply
before the first Of September.s
General Davis has ordered five hun
dred volumes as we are informed, to
supply his present subscribers and
hopes to be able to obtain enough
without delay for further demand.
The book may be expected by the first
of July.-Aberdeen Examiner.
We call the attention of all of our
exchanges to the suggestion in this
weeks Herald with regard to laws af-
fecting stock. We have not the space
to discuss them as we desire, but can
simply throw out hints.
There Is nothing so necessary to the
well-being of our people as good health
in our stock. Mules, especially, are
the mainstay of the planter, and cows,
hogs, sheep, etc, all of importance.
Any contagious disease among them
may produce disaster throughout a
whole ueighborhood, an entire county,
all the State, unless checked. That
prevention Is better than cure Is not
only a hackneyed adage, but words Of
wisdom, experience has abundantly
proved, and every possible effort should
be used with this end in view. One OF
our leading planters has suggested to
the Herald q most excellent law and
we ask the cooperation Of every paper
in Mississippi to have 1t passed.
| That the owners of all kind of stock
mules, horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, etc.
be required, on their death, TO either
bury or burn them at once, and that
severe penalties be attached to any VIC
lation of the law. II Is no great hard
ship and might any year save the peo
pie thousands of dollars. We rcgrc
that our limited space prevents us from
writing at much greater length on th'
subject. 1t is certainly one of grca
Importance 10 the people and we be
lieve would, if in force, have prevented
the spread of charbon this year.
