Poplarviile, Miss Aug. 10, 1892.
The sociable given at the Marion
House last Thursday night compli"
mentary to Mise Maud Chambers,
of Leake county, was one Of the most
enjoyable occasions of the kind that
good fortune has ever whispered to
US: "Come, see and participated
We have swung arouod the social
circ lie N many states, have realized
the intoxicating delights of the Cor
man, the waltz, music, cong, cham
payne, gas, electric llghts-Peri
fasclnations--all OF which seem but
a summers drdam-Thur5day night
was Il REALITY that eternity cannot
sefface. Boys, mha5 are you thinking
about ? Have you no hearts? When
Old Youth took o hasty glance at the
array of feminine l0velines seated
in the spacious parlor of the capti-
yating entertaiaers of the ewes
ming, he realized the fact that his
heart was as large rs the universe,
or that his breast contained thous
and o these sensitive orgaus-he
had room to love them, one and all.
PoplarvilIe was once famed for her
hospitality, social enjoyments and
good fellowship. Boys, keep the
ball in moton--get together-re-
gain the ground lost--the girls are
with you hand and heart.
The following from the Licking
ton (Oklahoma) Leader, is quite
applicable to Poplaryille:
"Cut your weeds in the vacant
lots. No use to be so shiftless.
Suppose strangers should be stroll
ing around aud see those high
weeds; what would they say? They
would say that the people Of Lex.
lngton are too lazy to live. Get
some inspiration and remove the
weeds
Not only the weeds in vacant
lots, but these same eye'sores which
so badly dlsfgure our yards, side~
walks and streets should be re-
moved at once. they are ugly,
unbealthful and glazing reflection
upon our want Of taste, industry
and progressi7eness. The pres"
enco of these very weeds haze
caused strangers to remark that
Poplarville resembled Goldsmith's
deserted Village"
Many OF our citizens in various
localities in this county are becom
ing deeply interested in truck farm
ing, and items bearing on the SUb*
ject are eagerly read and studied,
The benefits Of this industry to q
community ia shown by the follow

Many Mechanics Who Have Become Great
and Influential Mem
There Is Thomas A. Edison, the great
est genius of our day. Learning teleg-
raphy was the first thing tlat led him
into that intimacy with electricity which
has ended with him being it, master;
Andrew Carnegie was telegrapher;
Charles Pratt, who did more to help
young men to scquire trades than any
man whom l can mention, started In
life as machinist; Judge Daniels. of
the supreme court of New York, was q
shoemaker; William r. Grace, who was
mayor of New York, and who is worth
some twenty million dollars, was a
butcher; the late George Jones, who, as
editor of the New York Times, was one
of the most powerful men of his day,
was a printers devil" in the same
office with Horace Greeley when both
were boys; Jay Gould, the great fnan-
cier, was first tanner and then a
Surveyor; DR.. John R Paxton, DID,,
who breaches to the wealthiest congre-
CATION in the world, began life as car

Ave million dollars, was mechanic in

studying in the very poor night trade
schools that existed when he was
young; United States Senator Hill,
of New York, was printer; the late
Henry w. Grady, the greatest orator

Of Calhoun, was also printer. And
SO 1t goes I could give scores of 9TH

became great after serving faithfully at
their various tasks.-Foster Coates, in

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN

For the Week Ending Saturday, April
%, 1892.
Seeding is general and the ground is
in excellent condition. In some of the
southern counties early potatoes have
been planted and the ground is being
prepared for corn. Several correspon-
dents in the central and the western
counties report that more spring wheat
will be sown than usual, owing to the
fact that some fields of winter wheat
will have to be plowed under and seed
ed over.
1t is quite evident that the freezing
temperatures which have occurred
every night the past week have lower
ed the condition of winter grains; in
fact meadows and all vegetation have
been practically at stand still. Early
fruit buds were not sufficiently ad-
vanced to be injured by the cold.
The extreme southern and south
eastern counties show winter wheat
rye and clover to be in much better
shape than in the remainder of the
state.
Jefferson County reports that tobac-
co beds are being made.
Monroe County reports that cram
berry vines wintered poorly; wing to
the fact that but few marshes were
flooded.

Hon. J. w. Babcock, of Necedah,
candidate for member of congress
from the new Third district, by way of
the republican nomination, spent Wed
nesday and Thursday in Mineral
Point, getting acquainted with infuen-
tial members of his party. He is a
genial gentleman, as well as a rich
and rosy rustler; and evidently believes
that the early candidate will get the
nomination. He would likely make
a better u. S. Senator than Mr.. Sawyer,
but not so good congressman as Mr..
LaFollette.

The American Economist is now
vainly trying to explain why "nearly
all the text books used by the colleges
and the advanced schools of this coun-
try, on Civil Government, teach free
trade" The reason, not yet admitted
by protectionists, is that the advan-
tages to the people sof free trade,
which is tariff for revenue only, are so
salient as to admit of intelligent de-
NAL. The principal of tariff for rev.
enue only is as elementary as New
toms law of gravitation.-Exchange.

The Metal Market.

From The New York Financial and Mining
Record of April %.
LEAD.-Trade has moved along
quietly, and without developing any
new feature or quotable change in
values. There has been a fair demand
but large quantities have changed
hands, and sellers views have been
steadily maintained at 4.27a "a 430
cents, according to quantity and de-
livery. The range of bids has been
from 4.221 az 4.25 cents, and the sales
have transpired at 4.25 "a 4.27a cents.
Consumers say they are abundantly
supplied for their present wants, and
hence the moderate proportions of the
demand.
SPELTER.-Prime brands Of West
ern are firmly held at 4.67a "a 40
cents with the offerings quite
moderate, and these prices have been
paid for the few car loads that have
been sold, and accordingly fairly
represent the present range of values.
ZINC.-Domestic sheet has been in
moderate jobbing demands at 81 q 6
cents for 6x36-inch.

Will History Repeat Itself?
The Lacrosse Chronicle;


Should Benjamin Harrison and
Grover Cleveland be the opposing can
didates for president this year, as now
seems altogether likely, it would be
the first instance in fifty-two years,
and the third in the history of the
government, of a second race for the
presidency between the same COM
petitors. Thomas Jefferson and John
Adams were the opposing candidates
in Il796 and 1900, and Martin Van
Buren, and William Henry Harrison in
1886 and 1910. In both of these cases
the man beaten the first time was
successful the second.

presidency

In a recent interview w. T.. Whitney,
of New York thus correctly stated the
real cause of Mr.. Cleyeland's popular
ity among Democrats:
Mr.. Cleveland raised the standard
under which the hosts of the Democ-
racy stand and they look to him as
their leader. 1t is not disparaging
other men TO say that he is the one
great national figure at this moment
in the Democratic party-the legit-
innate national leader of the present
live, active forces that control the
movements Of the party.

There is law on the statute books
of this state, placed there by repub-
lican legislatures of course, which
allows S400 to each of the circuit
judges for travelling expenses. 1t is
alleged that only very small portion
of this amount is actually used for
that purpose. The residue over and
above what is used for actual travelling
expences is invariably pocketed by the
judges, which amounts to an increase
of their salaries by so much. In veiw
of the decision of the Supreme Court
in the Wells salary case, Capt. Fred
Horn in the Cedarburg News COM
ments as follows:
Now let judge Newman commence
paying back the $400, which he has
drawn yearly, to start with, and the
rest of the judges follow without be
ing sued! We call on Judge Newman
first to let him know how it feels to
payimoney Illegally or unconstitution-
ally drawn. He and the other judges
should have known better In our re-
marks on the bill in the assembly, we
predicted that none of the judges
would take the increase, but alas, it
seems they all did,"

G. K. Wilkinson, son of John Henry

Guard, published at Eugene, Oregon,

Wilkinson's candidacy: "Lane county
may claim the distinction of having On
one of her tickets the youngest candi-
date yet nominated to the legislature.
We refer to G. L. Wilkinson, one of
the nominees on the democratic ticket,
who is barely twenty-one years of age.
Though young in years he is old in.

him with a nomination. The young

in the cause of reform, and by them

The garden was profusely decorated
with flags and bunting, the colors of
which were brought into strong relief
by the brilliant light from 5000 electric
lamps. This, with the sea of bobbing
heads and upturned faces, presented a
memorable scene and one never to be
forgotten.
Previous to the exercises Cappa's
band discourscd strains of sweet music
to which the huge, perspiring crowd
listened in a philosophical manner, at
the same time endeavoring to keep cool
by swinging fans and handkerchiefs.
The platform was placed at the
Fourth-avenue end of the building.
Over it was an immense sounding
board. In the center Of this were two
national flags, placed transwise and
over these, were incandescent lamps
with the words Cleveland Stevenson"
The platform had a seating capacity
for $50 persons, but it had 1000 on it
before the central figures in one Of the
most brilliant tableaux New York has
seen in many months appeared. The
crowd was a patient one, despite
the heat, relieving its feelings
every few minutes by rounds of mp
plause as some familiar figure appeared
on the platform. AT first glance during
these periods of enthusiasm one would
imagine the whole audience was COM
posed of men, but after the troubled
sea had somewhat settled, the fair sex
seemed to emerge from it in bewilder-
ing summer costumes, smiles and the
inevitable fan.
