Abont two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
gout, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including IMMORAL waters.
without relief, saw by an advertise
ment in Chicago paper that Q man had
been relieved OF this distressing com
plaint, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers SarsapariIla. then decided to
make trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months. am
pleased to say that it effected q COM
plete cure, and that have since had no
return of the disease" =
Mrs. l.. A. Stark, Nashua, n. b.,
writes: "Ono year ago I was taken III
with rheumatism, being confined to my
house six months. came out of the
sickness very much debilitated, with no
appetite, and my system disordered in
every way. I commenced to use Ayers
Sarsaparilla and began to improve at
once, gaining in strength and soon re-
covering my usual health. I cannot say
too much in praise of this well-known
medicine"
II have taken a great deal Of medi-
cine, but nothing has done me SO
much good as Ayers Sarsaparilla. I
felt its beneficial effects before I had
quite finished one bottle, and I can
freely testify that it is the best blootl-
medicine know ~. w. Ward, ST..

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1890-06-13

JACKSON, June 2.--The Attorney-Gen.
eral is engaged in the preparatio.
several bills in chancery to vacate
patents held by certain land syndicates
to lands embraced in the old grant to
the Pearl River Navigation Company.
These lands were first conveyed by
the Republican State Government to
the Pearl River Navigation and I'm
provement Company, but on account Of
the failure of that company to make
the bond required by law its title be-
came void.
About 1883 number of shrewd per-
sons bought up these lands at the then
prevailing price of 25 cents an acre, but
as the law did not permit one person to
buy more than 240 acres the names of a
legion of negroes we're used in obtain
ing the patents, and their entries imme-
diately conveyed to their principals.
This fraud on the law renders the sales
made void, and it is presumed the en-
tries will be cancelled. The defendants
will be entitled to receive back the pur-
chase money and taxes subsequently
paid, which will be rendered under the
acts requiring these suits to be brought.
One syndicate alone is said to own
about so, 900 acres of these lands.

the country had enjoyed great deal Of
prosperity during the biennial period

Of the country be pledged to the placing

The Hemingway Case.

JACKSON, June 3.-The Grand Jury OF
the Circuit Court is now investigating
the case Of ex-Treasurer w. l.. Heming-
way In its criminal aspect with view
TO finding true bill. State Treasurer
y. J. Evans and other witnesses were
summoned before It to-day. Soon after
court met this morning quito an ami
mated and unexpected scene was pre-
sented. The Grand Jury was brought
before Judge Chrisman TO be sworn in
for duty, when District Attorney Miller
arose and addressing the court said that
wanted each member of IL catechised
TO the Hemingway case and ascer-
tain what his feelings were 80 that 1t
could be determined whether or not he
was competent juryman. Calhoun &
Green, attorneys for Col. Hemingway,
vigorously assailed the proposition on
the grounds that there was no warrant
for ii and that it was a most unusual
proceeding TO interrogate Grand Jury
as to one particular case coming before
Ii. Judge Chrisman, however, ruled
under the District Attorneys motion 1t
was proper for the members to be cate
chised. Each Grand Juror was accord
ingly catechised by the court as to
whether he had formed or expressed an
opinion regarding the case and FIVE on
their answers were excused as being In
competent jurors and five were sum
moned as substitutes in places. The
defense reserved bill of objections.
The Judge charged the jury to give this
case special attention. The civil suit
against the ex-Treasurer will be con-
tinued to the next term, but the criminal
case will probably be tried at this term
If the jury finds a true bill.

VIcKsBURG, June o.-The dredging
now going on in the harbor Of Vicks-
burg is progressing very satisfactorily,
$780, 900 cubit yards having been removed
from the canal up to June 1st. The
canal has been deepened uniformly to
twelve feet on the gauge, and con-
siderable portion Of it is down to the
eight-foot level.
II the appropriation for the harbor in
.he present river and harbor bill can be
made Immediately available after the
bills passage, work will be continued
after the exhaustion Of the present ap-
preparation, which will be in July, and
the canal deepened to zero.
This depth would be sufficient to ad-
nit steamers to the city front about
eleven months in the year. The Secre-
tary of War is authorized to make this
disposition of the fund allotted, and 1t
is believed he will do so.
The present appropriation is suf-
ficient to cut the present canal to the
uniform level of eight feet on the
gauge, which will be deep enough .
allow boats to enter at all ordinary
stages of water.
