OVER THE STATE.


Spectator.
Our esteemed friend of the Clarion
Ledger seems to take delight in twit-
ing Senator George about "a life ten
ure of office" but be seems to forget
that his candidate for Senator Georges
place, Major Barksdale, has stood for
political preferment SO many times
that if he had been elected TO office
each time and the terms could have
been strung out he could not have
more than filled his offices in goner-
alton. He has run for office more
often than has Senator George and
has been defeated for more years of
Office than George has ever held or
been a candidate for before the people.

Hon. I. L. Hart and the Hon. d. S.
Fearing, the first a prominent planter
and leading Allianceman of Kinds, and
the latter learned lawyer of Ray
mond, and Chairman of the Kinds
County Democratic Executive Com
mittee-both of them members of the
late Constitutional Convention-tell
the Memphis Commercial that George
will carry Kinds county for Senator.
They know what they are talking
about The Kinds county Democracy
is not going to follow Major Barksdale
off after strange gods. Judge Calhoon
says except for Sub-Treasury views,
Barksdale would undoubtedly have
carried the county; "with these views
| think it doubtful" There is no
doubt in the case. George will carry
the empire county of Hinds.-Missis-
slppian.
Hon. j. I. Casey, of Washington
county, is in the city to-day en- route
home. Mr.. Casey attended the Re-
union and Confederate monument cell
ebration at Jackson, and afterwards
visited his old friend, Capt. w. T.
Ratliif at Raymond. Mr.. Casey re-
ports grand time at Jackson, and
that he met great many of his old
comrades of Company A, 1st Missis-
sippi Light Artillery. When we first
knew Mr.. Casey, he was q Corporal In
the battery, but was afterwards pro-
NOTED to be Sergeant, and TO this day
is called sergeant by his old army
comrades. Mr.. Casey says that the
Democrats of his county, and of the
Delta generally, are solidefor George,
and that there Is not Sub-Treasury
man In his county. We hope the old
Sergeant will be able to attend many
more Re-unions.-Vicksburg Post.

Editor Manufacturers Record:
The board of county supervisors
will let contract on 18th of June for
$4,000 court house for Washington
county, Miss, and will pay cash.
We have millions of cottonwood
trees between here and Memphis that
cannot be floated up stream, but can
be delivered here for $500 to $3.50
per 1000 feet, and we want some one
to come here and cut them up into
box timber or otherwise. We have
cheap freight, and there is fortune
to some one who has saw-mill sense
and money enough to start the mill.

A representative of the Coahomiau
visited the box factory this week and
found everything in more perfect run
ming order than ever before. Large
cottonwood logs, stripped of their
rough coating and cut to the proper
length, were being fed into the capa-
oious jaws of tho powerful veneering
machine, coming out on the other side
in long thin sheets and landed on roll
ers to be conveyed to the smaller ma
chimes, there to be cut and shaped in
sizes suitable for box material. The
six new machines recently put in, are
wonderful addition 10 the plant, aud
have near'y doubled its capacity. AT
present the entire force is working on
an order from a Chicago firm for sew
enty car loads of patent banana crates.
II will take fully four months to fill
this one order, and In the meantime
keep up with the outside orders.
The only Inconvenience experienced
now is the lack of room, and plans are
being considered for 50x120 store
room. which will be located between
The main building and railroad. The
factory now has sixty names on the
nav roll, and turns loose to them $500
each week in salaries.-Coahomian.
Nine companies of the National

know whether to take the above as a
compliment. or slight.
The fact is, the Bolivar Rifles arrived
at Jackson by the v. Il NJ. the morn

reported and offered to do any duty
they might be needed for.
That evening (tired as they were
after a long trIp). they met the above
nine companies. There were only
EIGHT men of the G. l.. q. under the
command of corporal present.
