overflow, which we will no doubt soon
have, our country viii open up so fast
that it viii surprise the natives. As it
is the Delta is improving wonderfully.

Notwithstanding bis bad health
Judge Williamson has again held the
fort most manfully this week. Open
ing court at s a. n. every day, he has
patiently withstood the heavy strain,
earning the respect and esteem Of all.
Judge Williamson came here almost o
stranger; he will leave us with an es-
tablished reputation as an upright
Judge, an excellent lawyer, and a cour-
teous gentleman. His sentences have
been rather lenient than otherwise, but
in his methods Of expediting business,
he has been particularly firm. The
salutary effects of his course will be
very pcrccptible in tho future sessions

Genl. Catchings' contrast of the FREQ
list and the dutiable list was amusing
in the extreme. We quote from a
number of things on the subject: The
Southern planter has to pay duty of
1870 per cent on cotton ties, but he has
the satisfaction of knowing that he
can import cat gut free of duty; that
the poor man is compelled to pay 100
per cent OH common Woolen blankets,
but he eau get all the dried blood he
wants free of tax. The General
brought down the house when the call

as Spunk.-Maryesville Spectator.
From q conversation recently had
with a number of large farmers, the
writer infers sentiment is growing
stronger daily against the system of
farming employed in this vicinity
and practically throughout the State
for the past twenty-five years. The
plan of letting the negroes work the
land for half the profits, has been given
a fair trial and that It has proven a
failure, no one can doubt. Large land
owners hereabouts have for the past
two seasons supported "hands" on
their farms. at great expense; and
these proprictors are commencing to
tire of paying money out all the time
without the least chance of an ade-
quate return. It Is more than proba-
bic the old and Improbable "share'
system will be abolished at an early
day.-Okolona Messenger.
