Letter From COpiah.
Editor Mississippi Leader:

As crops are laid by, / thought a
line from old Copiah might cheer the
dropping spirits of some of your read
ers. At this writing crops of every
description are very promising. Our
people are moving along with that
steady tramp, tramp of forethought,
that gives such consistency to q
county's future. Our watchw ord is
reform, and since our sentiments have
been proclaimed through the Peoples
party at Hazelhurst, the welcome
news has been caught up and carried
to every village, hamlet and commu-
nifty in our county.
The time.las been that our party
was baby, but we have grown out of
the cradle now till our head is resting
in old Iowa our feet in old Virginia,
with one hand on the money powers
of the East, while with the other we
are grasping hands across the bloody
chasm. Oh what n baby, being fed
by the crums of Thomas jefferson and
nourisllcd in later days by L. L. Polk,
until to-day when it kicks, the great
minds and money centers begin to
shake and tremble.
Our party in COpiah comprises the
best material, so far as citizenship is
concerned, that ever existed in any
party. 1t is very amusing to see some
of our county papers trying to write
something about our party. They
even have the cheek to ask us to come
back. Why. it would be like stepping
off of IL new ship Oh to one that is
sinking. Col. l.. l.. Polk was down
here once, and he shot so many holes
through that old latter day Democrat
ic ship that it has been sinking ever
since.
No, sir; the masses are moving.
Judging from the class of writers that
are writing for the little handful that
is left the wreck has stood it almost
as long as possible. Some fellow
wrote not long since in one of our
county papers about drawing line.
Well, old fellow, don't pull too quick,
just take it easy, for just as You voted
at the primary election will be abOut
your strength in November. Now,
Mr.. Editor, it is a curious fact that
every time our party has been assailed
by these barking fellows that we have
gained strength.
How could party he prevented
from sweeping IL county when such a
man as w. I. Matheny stood under
the threats that were made? Old
gallant Tom stand by your colOrs !;
we are standing by you, the noble
chieftain of the ci tadel of the banner
county of Mississippi. We stormed
the heights, we carried them, we still
hold the fort, despite all the efforts
that are being made to capture the
works. May kind Providence give
us more just such men, men that will
not sell out until we have succeeded
in pulling down the strong holds OF
oppression.

Don't you know that you can buy more,

in the history of our country?" That
may be true; but suppose you owed

me where could get nice meal for a
