Recreant congressman.

1t looks like some of Mississippi's
Congressman are far more watchful of
their own personal interests than the
interests of the people. Morgan was
in Mississippi looking after his re-
election when the infamous Force bill
passed the House by a slender MAORI
ty. Morgan, Hooker, Allen and
Stockdale were all in Mississippi, in
stead of Washington, when the vote
on the "Original package" bill was
taken, measure involving the princi-
pie of local self-government so dear
to all the States. We will watch with
interest where the members of the
Mississippi delegation are, and il
present how they stand, when the vote
is taken on the bill to strangle the
corrupt lottery octapus by prohibiting
the use of the U. S. mails to it and its
agents.

We desireto say to our citizens, that for
years we have been selling DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption, DR..
Kings's New Life Pills, Bucklen's ArnIca
Salve and Electric Bitters, and have new
er handled remedies that sell as well, or
that have given such universal satsfac-
ton. We do not hesitate to guarantee
them every time, and we stand ready to
refund the purchase price, if satisfactory
results do not follow their use. These
remedies have won their great popularity
purely on their merits. 7. L. Meade &

The Southern Farmer advises its
readers to make lists of the slaves
they owned at the date of Lincoln's
emancipation proclamation; in the
hope that some day they or their des-
cendants will receive compensation
from the Government. On the other
hand, Northern member of Congress
proposes that the Government shall
pay a good round sum TO every negro
who has been held in slavery.

The LEADER received delicate
and very handsomely printed card
last week announcing that brother l..
7. Carlisle, of the Clay County Lead
er, and Miss NJ. Ida White, of Hous-
ton, Miss, were married on the oath
inst, and would be cat home" in West
Point after that date. We extend
hearty congratulations and best wish
es to our newly mated brother. He
is deserving of some good woman's
heart aud hand, and we have no doubt
but that he has made a wise choice.
May their united lives in sweetest har-
mony blend till they fade away like
twin stars in the shadowy Be-
yond.

Last Sundays Memphis CONNER
cial contained an article from the pen
of Capt. Frank Johnston of Jackson
on the infamies of the convict leasing
system in Mississippi that should be
read and seriously considered by every
delegate to the Constitutional Con-

abolishing the system By Constitu-

.LET Us HAVE PEACE

The people of this town were some
what surprised at Mr.. Smiths COM
munication in last weeks paper. It
was generally believed that Z. E. Fri.
zell would go ahead with the water
works contract. But / never thought
Mr. Frizell would carry out his agree
ment with the city. IF he was scared
off by Mr.. Willard he should have in
vestigated the title of the city at the
dam before he accepted the contract.
l know that the city has good title
to the ground and power for water
works. I was one of the commission
ers that condemned it for that purpose.
l also believe that the city acquired
from Mr.. Heffernan the title TO the
power for any other purpose that it
may desire to use it, and that the title
is good as against Mr.. Willard or any
other person claiming it.
AS for the switch matter: That is
something that nearly every citizen
wishes to see completed. The railroad
company proposes to build spur at
cost of $4,000 to it and about 81, 900
to the city. The company is not build
ing it for its immediate profit, but as
Mr.. Nettleton stated when he looked
over the ground, for the purpose of
fostering and encouraging new enter
prises at the water power. The switch
is not for Mr.. Wizards benefit, even
now, as much as it is for Allen Bros.
and McClung & Metzler. The whole
future development of manufacturing
interests at this point depends upon
the construction of the switch. The
city council is unanimous in its favor
and the people have determined to
have it Notwithstanding the suits and
petty annoyances of Smith, Ashley &
Co. Mr.. Smith thinks our situation
is bad and is doing all he can to adj
vertise it and make it worse. do not
think it is bad, but there is a possibili.
ty of its becoming 50 unless the oppo-
sition to all progress ceases. "Let us

Iwish thee with all my heart;
And may every day of thy life, my darling,

Be filled to full measure
With the choicest this world can impart
May every hour Of thy days, my darling,
BE filled with the sunshine OF love;
And through the dark hours OF thy night, my

May angels be keeping
Their watch willis thou 'rt sleeping,
And bring thee sweet peace nom above.
May never trace OF care, ms daring,
Nor OF grief. or sorrow, or strife;
And never cloud in the sky, my darling,
TO lessen the brightness
OF thy dear hearts lightness,
o'ershadow thy pathway through life.
II wishes had wings like the dove, my darling,
Tothe source ofall power mine should soar;
And laden, returning, bring with them, my
darling,
The treasures OF heaven
All free from earth 8 leaven,
To thee. whom love and adore.

BUTTER AND CHEESE FACTORY
PROSPECTS,


I wish 10 say to the people of Bax-
ter Springs and TO the farmers of this
vicinity that something must be done
more than the simple statement, "It's
a good thing; hope it will GO" That
is all very encouraging so far as ii
goes, but IL won't build factory. If
you expect to get this enterprise YOU
must take hold and subscribe for
stock. You sent committee of relia-
bic men to investigate the business.
They have advised most decidedly the
building of a factory. Accordingly
they have subscribed stock and are
doing all in their power 10 forward
the enterprise, having learned that it
is q source of the greatest income to
farmers in other places.
You say you are "hard up" and moi
able to take stock. As intelligent
men, l ask how you expect to better
your condition or even escape entire
failure by continuing your present
method Of farming? Gentlemen, l
speak from eight years experience in
Kansas farming. Take hold and es-
tablish a permanent market for your
milk and sell your milk for
cash and you will have more ready
money and easier times than you ever
experienced before on the farm. 1t is
safe to figure on fonr dollars per month
for each COW as an average for the
milk season. Remember, I offer to let
you pay two-thirds OF the entire
amount you subscribe utter you hare
male it from the business and not a
dollar paid until the factory is ready
for operation. 1 shall call on you all.
If you take hold the factory will be in
operation next April. If you put me
of and want everybody else TO sub
scribe first, I shall soon learn that all
effort Is vain and 90 where l have an
other call. know you want il. On
ly decide to take hold aud it goes. Re-
fuse and ii fails. G. B. BURTON.

''My good man, / can not pay this
large sum of money to you on this iden-
LITIGATION. You must bring your wife and
children, if you have any, or a couple of
citizens who have known you for a long
time, and then you shall have your
money"
The old man trembled with emotion,
and tears started from his sightless eyes
as he told the Colonel how his family
had deserted him and left him to become
a pauper in the city's almshouse, but his
good luck revived his affection for his
son, daughter and wife, and he left the
building to grope his way in search of
them. On Monday the reunited family
presented themselves, and the big check
was given to the old man.
Some days before this case there ar
rived from Washington a check for $751;
3S3, payable to the order of Harry
Chapman, also blind man, whose PEN
sion had finally been approved after ten
years of red tape. Chapman was found
in dingy cellar uptown, where he had
been permitted to exist through the
bounty of bill-poster. His bed had
been bundles Of old paper, and his meals
consisted of bread and water. The old
man was identified by members of a
Grand Army post in Newark, and he is
now living in that city, his comrades
having invested the SIS, 900 for him at
per cent. This was the largest amount
ever paid at the New York pension
office.-N. Y. Letter.
