roll and Carpenter, who killed Yonco,

these rcd-handod murdercrs.

for his thermometer which hangs on the
porch on tho North side of his residence.

The Christian Adrocdtc, published at
Nashville, Tenn, the general organ of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
comes to MS at the beginning of tho new
year III a new dress. 1t is ably edited by

Rev. j. w. Boswell, ID. d., who spare no
labor nor pains in giving to Southern
Methodism one of the strongest religious
journals published on the American con-
tincnt. It's sixteen page weekly, we'll
filed with the richest and tho best re-

The joint resolution to amend tho con-
stitution of the State, in relation to the
Board of County Commissioners, passed
the Legislature, and reads as follows :
"fhat Section 10, of Article w of the
Constitution, relating to the judicial de-
partmcnt, which provides for the clcc-
ton of board of county commissioners
and prcscribcs the jurisdiction thereof,
he repealed" II the proposed amend
mcnt receives a majority of the votes
cast at tho next election, it will then be-
come a law. The repeal of Section 10,
however, will not itself effect the aboli-
ton of tho Office of county commissions
crs 1t will simply leave the matter in
tho hands of the Legislature, which may
pass law limiting the number of county
commissioners to one or extending il to
six, or, what is more probable, provd-
ing an entirely now method of managing
the affairs of the several counties in the
State The people will not be likely to
vote for this change, unless they have a
reasonably clear idea as to what the Leg
islaturc will do in rcconstructng the
Board. We ought to go back to the law
in force before the war.
