A Brunswick BroiI.

The Brunswick public schools opened for
the fall and winter term last Monday, with
Prof. b. X. Thomas as principal with full
corps OF teachers, except the color
ed school which is running with
out head and is doing the
best il can with its two assistant teachers.
The board were unable to agree on a princi-
pal, standing three and three for two differ.
ent applicants. The Republican members of
the board would not vote for Prof. p.
Parrish for reasons best known to them
selves, and the three Democratic members
would not vote for the other applicant be-
cause Parrish's selection was favored by
large majority of the coIoTed patrons of the
school. Parrish has been principal of the
school for the past two years, and is Dem
ocrat, and is possessed OF an abundance of
good sense to back his Democracy Mr.
John T.. Randolph. who is one of the Repub-
licah members OF the board, and the nomi-
nee of his party for representative, we pre-
dict Is not adding anything to his strength
as n candidate by refusing to vote for Par
rish, as Mr.. Randolph will well learn when the
Brunswick colored svote is cast on the 9th
day OF November.
III a majority, and n large majority at
that, want Parrish retained we do not be-
lieve Mr.. Randolph is acting the part of
wisdom in opposing Parrish. and then g-
noring the wishes of the majority, which
ought to rule.
As politician" Mr.. Randolph is not ex.
ereisirg the shrewdness Of " hieh we believed
him capable But, perhaps, he and his Re
publican colleagues on the school board afe
only striving to keep up Brunswick's repu-
tation for internal broils.
In that event they are succesdingly most
admirably 90.

A New Store.

Nessrs. j. w. Lewis and
Blair Miller, two Of Keytes-
Willis energetic young men,
have rented the Chapman store
room, just across the street
from the COURIER Office, and
will open a stock of dry goods,
notions, gents and ladies' fur
nisling goods. boots and shoes,
etc. in a week or ten days.
The popularity of the young
men assures for them their
share of the public patronage.

1t is reasonably certain that
Mr.. j. II. Halliburton, of Milan,
Mo, will set his son up in the
dry goods business here. Such
merchants as the Halliburtons
are the kind that do the bust
ness in this day of push and
progress, as they are liberal
advertisers and believe in the
doctrine of small profits and
quick sales.

j. A. Collet raffied off his
horse and harness last We'd
nesday. Jack Edwards drew
the horse and County Treasur-
er Welch the harness. Mum
bers ranging from 1 to 200 were
put in small envelopes and
sold, the purchaser having to
pay the amount of the number
he drew from the pack of en-
velopes. By this manner Jack
Edwards drew No. 191 which
made the horse cost him S1.91,
and Mr.. Welch drew No. 10 the
amount the harness cost him.
Of course the other fellows got

A RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
The exchange magnates said it had
been decided not to send lobby delega-
tion to Washington TO oppose the passage
of the anti-option bill. The sentiments
of the delegates found expression in the
adoption of the following resolution:
Resolved. That this conference, after due
deIiberation, condemns the IN recently intro
duced in congress by MIR. Hatch OF Missouri,
and known as the anticipation bill, and the bill
OF the same character introduced by Mr.
George. OF Mississippi, and known as the
George bill, as iniqUltous and unjust, and as
such calculated to do great injury to the
producing classes of the country IN whose
interest it is claimed the bills are framed;
that they belong to that specious legislation
denOminated class legislation" an We pro
test against their passage on the ground that
thev are unconstitutional for the reason
that they interfere with the making
Of contracts between citizens of the same
state which are held valid by the
state courts. They deprive the merchants of
the facilities to properly move the crops of
the country; upsettle the already over
strained commercial situation, and their evil
effects will he felt in all branches of trade.
We especially urge our representatives in
congress to oppose their passage in every
possible way.

A Synopsis of the Petition Circulated
in Colorado.

Georgetown, Col, Feb. 27.-The petition
for secession of the silver states, which
was circulated here, but afterward with
drawn, recites that the undersigned de-
clare the government of the United States,
in the establishment of an infamous
banking system that eats out the substance
of the people, increases all forms of
Indebtedness, centralizes wealth and has
resulted in the building of a plutocracy
that aspires to govern the nation that in
the decentralization of silver and the de-
struction of the paramount industry Of
many of the states, in refusing to regard
the petitions Of the people, or to
afford relief other than Issuing ad-
ditional bonds, evinced a determi-
nation to reduce the people TO a
condition of absolute servitude; and be-
ieving that submission to such govern
ment is not the duty of patriots, or of
those who love independence, but for the
sake of peace, we respectfully request the
federal government to allow US to peace
fully withdraw from the union of these
states and enter into an alliance with the
government of Mexico
