A First Class Outrage.

Contrary to the petition of nearly
every citizen of Ellisville and commu-
nifty, white and black, Republican and
Democrat, Miss IIilda McGowan, ap-
pointed by Garfield and re-appolnted
by Cleveland, was removed from the
post Office here, and Dr.J. 5. Evans of
Shubuta, made postmaster instead.
During the heated fight for the office,
charges against Dr. Evans of habitual
drunkenness and consequent unfitness
were made-charges, too, made upon
the statement of good people who had
known him for years.
These charges were either disbelicv-
ed or ignored he was appointed and
took charge Of the Office. Under the
management Of young lady assistants
who were as prompt and efficient as
need be. all was moving along smooth
ly, with tho prospect that the people
would forget their disappointment at
Miss McGowan's removal. But on
Sunday, tho fifth day of his official ca
rcer, DIR. Evans, true to the charges
that had been made by the citizens
while under the influence of liquor
was harsh and insulting to moro thai
one citizen, whose crimes were nc
worse than asking for mail.
Later, in the presence of three citi
zens, he cursed tho ministers of th'
town, the religious denominations
and finally the people of the town ant
community, as being d. hypocrite
and fools.

The English Sparrow.
TCourier-J Journal


White Hall, KY, June 9.-fho Eng
lish sparrow was imported to this
country under the idea that they were
insectivorous, to save the elms and
other trees of the cities from the cater
pillars. But the English sparrow is
granivorous, and like all granivorous
birds, eating insects only sparingly
when pressed by hunger. lnsoctivor-
GUS and icsh-eating birds, as the crow,
the blue lay, the blackbird, owls,
hawks, etc, are always lean in flesh,
whilst all the grain-eaters are fat when
well fed. The English sparrow is gen.
orally fat the year round and is n
delicious bird for the table. The res
taurants of the cities should understand
this, and aid in the destruction of these
pests Certainly many ways of trap
ping them may be invented. AS the
birds nest about houses, well sheltered
and well fed the year round, and by
proximity TO man are freed from most
enemies of other birds, such as owls
hawks, minks, weasels, skunks, rae
coons, etc, and are like pigeons, very
prolific, and further, fight in unison
and by their activity consume the food
of other birds in some measure, they
threaten to be the great pest of this
country, attacking fruit and fruit bud
and garden products.
| Knowing their habits | have fol
years shot them with fine bird shot ant
eaten them; yet they come over from
cities and villages, and in increased
numbers make themselves terrible
enemy.
As the cities are the breeding field
for these enemies, they should at ono
Join the farmers in their extinction
and for their own sakes, or they mus
hereafter suffer as well as the tillcrs o
soil, upon which all depends for life.
The Legislature should take, as ho
: been done in some other States, som
9 action in aid of their destruction, an
j all the farmers and fruit-grower
should hasten to destroy their nes
. and shoot the old ones Systematically
: The Songsters are the insectivorol
birds, and our sentiments, love
! music and the beautiful, as well as Il
:? increasing insect pests on which the
y live, and the necessaries and luxuri
g which they make impossible, call upc
us to aid them against the commt
enemy, the English sparrow.
i The gray fox has been exterininat,
i here by the red fox, aud The blue +
by the Norway rat, both worse I
. man, and unless VIC moye in unison
,s this serious matter, the English spa
~ rows will destroy the mass of 9th
.s - birds.
,e. ! hope you win publish these wal
Is. ings, and that your large circulate
ne will carry to all local newspapers
cry for immediate action.

Net increase. e..............ssi,os]
The list of polls reported by the va
rious counties cannot be accepted as
generally correct. In other words, 1t
may be assumed that the aggregates
reported are IN most instances far
short of the number liable to poll tax,
though in some counties the assessors
have been much more faithful and dill
igent than in others. Of one thing
however we may feel assured, and that
is. that in no instance has an assessor
exceeded in his report the actual, ex-
isting aggregate, in his county.
Iu the river counties the ratio OF
polls to population is much greater
than elsewhere, on account Of the re-
moval on plantation contracts of large
numbers of ablc-bodied negro men
from tho prairie aud hill counties.
This process has been going on steadily
for a number of years, and every up
land county has lost heavily In negroes; /;
even Kinds and Adams have had to
largely contribute to the Delta's insa-
tiate nav, while thousands have gone
from Monroe, Noxubee, Lowndes,
CLAY. Cbickasaw, and the white coun-
ties of East Mississippi.
In almost every instance in this part
of the State the loss in negroes has
been more than compensated by gain
in whites, and we are confident that
both Monroe and Chickasaw as well as
Lauderdale, Clarke and Kemper can
now claim white majorities of voters
Aberdeen Examiner.
We hope that the census-figures Of
next year will add veriiication to the
aconfident assertion" of our esteemed
contemporary ; the Aberdeen Examiner
Ii so there will be ray of light shed
on some regions of the land of dark
ness at least. But we doubt IL. We
even predict that the anatural increase
in the negro population, reinforced b,
; strong tendency Of the white you'll
TO 90 West, and to make homes in th'
cities, will, despite the leakage of black
to the Delta, practically preserve pres
ent race proportions In population.
