Greenwood, July 22.-The Letiore
Ice and Coal Company, of Greenwood.
delivered their first ice TODAY. The
factory has daily capacity of seven
and a half tons
The canal Is, so far, a success and
for some time yet boats of moderate
draft can come to the city front. The
least depth is six feet, which will ad-
nit at this stage of water, nearly all
the boats which do business here.
Even if the river still declines so as to
make it impossible TO use the canal. a
moderate rise will enable boats to
come in and avoid the necessity of
waiting for the regular Spring rise. 1t
Is success, so far, and another cut or
two will give us water nearly all the
year.-Vicksburg Post.
A prominent business man here
suggests to the Post factory in the
timber line which will be paying one
and which could be fully equipped
with from $4,000 to $4,000. He re-
fers to a barrel factory, Tor which we
have the best timber adjacent known.
In Chattanooga there is barrel fac
tory which is complete success, and
all the timber is brought to 1t by rail
from Georgia and Alabama. Here
much of the timber could be RATED.
In New Orleans there Is factory
which makes willow barrel with cot
ton wood heads, that is pronounced
the strongest aud lightest barrel made.
For this class of work the river will
furnish an inexhaustable supply of
Misunderstanding Post
The assassination of the Republican
politician Cook in Mississippi, has fur
nished the radical papers of the North
with more argument why the Force
bill should become law. They see
| only one side of such cases and because
the dead man was Republican they
do not admit that he may haye had
personal enemies who were interested
in the taking of. Gov. Stone has
offered $500 for the apprehension of
the assassins, and if caught they will
be convicted as was done in the case
of the two white men who fired into
a mail car near Batesville with the in-
tention of killing the agent. The
people of Mississippi do not
countenance assassination any more
than the people of other States, and it
is a base SANDER to assume that they
do.-Memphis Scimetar.

Columbus, Miss, July 2S.-A mass
meeting was held by the Baptist Con-

Especial to the Appeal
Tunica, Miss, July 28.--Tho regular
term of the Circuit Court convened at
this place this morning. the Hon. w.
r. Williamson, of Greenwood, presid-
ing. This Is his first court at this
place, be having boen appointed to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Judge Winston. There has been a
rumor on the streets for several days
that petition would be presented to
tho Court asking that the Grand Jury
be discharged on account of the in
competency of certain members. This
rumor caused a great many remarks
and cngendered bad feelings on the
part of some, and many suggestions
were made as to the probable conduct
of the Judge, but 1t was all settled this
| morning when the Grand Jury was
called. The Judge, of his own motion,
discharged nine of its members. and
asked the Sheriff to summon nine 9th
ers. Il is thought that the law-break-
er has no special friend in Judge Will
hanson.

WInona, Miss, July 25.-R. L. Hol-
loway died at his residence in this
place this evening at o'clock after a
| lingering illness of nearly eight weeks.
His mind was active and unclouded
up to tho very moment of his death.
As a lawyer and active politician he
stood in The foremost rank in the
State. a Democrat of unswerving in
tegrity and fidelity to his party, and
one of our most trusted leaders during
the dark days of reconstruction.
As soldier there was none Drawer
or more daring. Having enlisted in
his sixteenth year, he rose through
merit alone from the ranks to a cap
taincy on the staff of General Brantley,
and afterwards on the staff of General
Walthall. He has served several terms
in the State Legislature, and was o
presidential elector when Mr.. Tilden
was the candidate. His life of useful
ness seems hardly begun when death
cuts IL short. He will be buried with
Masonic honors at Greenwood Gene
terry tomorrow morning.
