There wasa GRO wd of lawyersin one ofthe
uptown hotels last night and somehow or
other the conversation turned on ConstablcS.
"Wel,' said a young attorney who has
achieved more than his share OF success,
Il remember an incident which happened
soon after l was admitted 10 the bar that
caused great deal or amusement at the
time Billy Swinburne, one of our best
COustables, had levied on q pair OF scales,
the only thing that the debtor had owned,
for n sum of mGney due. Every one knows

hiSavcrsiont to "a yinG a fee 10 an aucuoneer.
He fastened his red flag 10 the railing
which surrounds that qGeer-lo0king Lin
coin monument in front of the city hall and
proceeded to solicit bids on a pair OF
wCightieSs scales. A crowd OF law students
and recent graduates soon collected aud
the feeble-voiced auctiOncer started at
cents.
Slowly he was raised cent by cent By the
sober-faced fellows, the auctioneer's
throat getting raw and his voice thicker
andhoarSeT all the wAiieuntllt he bid amount

to the affair, and sums ranging from one

The TIMES is in receipt of heauti-
full little Waltz. composed by Rosa Eff
ie Champlin Of Biloxi, who is only 4
years of age. 1t is dedicated to the
Mississippi Press Association, and is
wonderful production for one of her
tender years. We had the pleasure of
hearing this little lady like prodigy
perform on the plano at the Press Con-
vention in Biloxi, and were filed with
admiration at her precosity, and deft
touch as she rolled out sweet sympho-
nv from her instrument. "Poeta nae
eta non fecit." so musicians are born,
not made. Genius is gift of the Gods.
AS soon as we unrolled the music our
better half rendered 1T on the piano for
us, and while it does not have any of
deep, powerful master strokes of Beet
hoven or Mendelssohn, it is sweet and
child like and speaks of innocense and
purity, like ''the lisp of children in
their earliest years" Properly direct
ed. the future of this child should be
bright and happy. Genius however,
like beauty in woman, is a very danger.

New Farmers Paper.

We are in receipt of the first number
of The Southern Farm Gazette, pub
lished at Starkville, with Edwin Mont
gomery chief editor, assisted by an ar
ray of talented and practical editorial
contributors and chiefs of special de-
partments, of which few agricultural. or
any other paper can boast. The Ga
zette has started with good support
in the advertising line, and under such
auspices, must succeed and become a
power in arousing our people and re-
generating our country agriculturally
We have had occasion before to allude
to the shame of Mississippi, in letting
every agricultural paper started with
10 her borders die for want of support.
But times have changed, and let us
hope the people with them. We think
the projectors ma lie mistake in add
ing Gazette to the name on account of
length, and because Southern Farm"
would be more euphonious and appro-
pirate. Edwin Montgomery, is a prac-
teal, experienced, able agricultural
writer without superior in his line

proud, and we want TO see this, his new
enterprise. literally supported. No
man can be an up-to date successful
farmer. without just such a journal as
he will give. II is only Sl.OO a year
and weekly paper. Send for sam
pie copy and let it come into every
home in the state. 1t is strictly and
solely an agricultural paper, no other
matter Of any character will ever ap-
pear in its columns.

MATER WORKS.

Apropos to the question now upper
most in the minds of our town people,
and one that is fraught with much in
terest to all, it May be we'll to cite a
few instances of the experience of our
near neighbors in such matters. Green
vile wants Water Works aud wants
city ownership, and points to the ex-
perience OF Meridian as a warning
against franchises Jackson has new
er been able to force the Water Works
Co. of that city, up to their contract,
and have annulled it and are in a bad
dilema. Meridian made her contract,
so she could purchase after a certain
period. at the expiration of which a
committee was appointed to value the
Works, and. thsy placed the value at
$275. 900, based upon the earnings of
the Company and not upon the cost of
construction. This is so far above
what was expected, and at what the
city is authorized to float its bonds,
that it is out of the question to pur-
chase. Neither of these compa MES,
have ever kept the pressure in the
stand-pipe up to the requisite amount,
l20 pounds to the square inch. is which
n cessary to render them efficient in
case of fire. A $4,000. dollar suit is
now pending in Meridian. on account
the Machine shops being burned for
want of adequate service of the Com
pany. The same iDefficiency in regard
to fire service, existed in Jackson.
The Greenville Times says: THE ex-
perience of all cities. large and small.
as well as the sentiment of majority
of this community, is opposed to pri-
vate or corporate ownership Of the
Works" Now IL Canton puts her neck
in the halter, with these examples right
at her own doors staring her in the
face. she ought not to complain when
trouble comes. which il win certainly
do. Show to the world on the 24th,
that our town knows how. not only to
act wisely of It's own volition, but to
profit by example, by voting for city
ownership. Don't forget the day, and
don't fail to vote.

BARBaRIsM.

! One of the sadest, most revolving and
inhuman occurances transpired in our
vicinity few days ago that ever dis
graced any civilized community; not
transcended by savagery, in the wilds
of darkest Africa. Old Jack Fulton, a
very old ex-slave, lived for several
years with a granddaughter. They
recently occupied one end of double
cabin. with occupants in the other end.
The granddaughter moved off and
left the old man sick, in a grimy, filthy
condition in the room alone. The
stencil eminating from it, become OBJ
noxious to the other occupants and the
owner notified the woman she must
move Jack. She had him put behind
the house on the ground aud locked
the door, and there in his helpless
filthy condition, he was fly blown and
covered with parasites. We were no
titled after dark on Friday Of the stu
alton. and summoned a man in our en-
ploy, Will Austin, and told him to mo-
tify the negroes and especially two me-
gro preachers, one living about six
hundred yards, in sight of the place
and pastor of the church not more than
a mile away where the other preacher
lived, to have the old man attended to,
and to tell them It was not only dis
grace to humanity. but to their race
and religion. Not human being obey
ed the summons. Will Austin got Will
May bin, both youngsters, and laid the
old man in the house. We sent him
some underwear and some medicine
to remove the maggots. The clothing
was put on, but the worms remained
in cavities they had penetrated.
Victuals was sent him by white lady,
and negro woman in the cabin gave
him some attention. On Sunday morn

The term "cajien" is a corruption

low prairies of southern Louisiana.
These people are descendants of the

in Acadia, in the province of Quebec.
But after the conquest of Canada by
the English i'll 1859 tho Acadians
were by the stern decree of George
III rudely forced to leave their quiet

Every town and city has very
large number of unmarried people
of manageable age and Marietta
is no exception in this particular.
If the doctrine in this country were
in accordance with that OF the Fiji
Islands, there would be more mar
riages. This is the FIJI doctrine:
An unmarried man or woman of
manageable age is something that
IS rarely seen in the Fiji Islands.
The reason of this is not far to seek.
The natives believe that if person
dies while in an unmarried state.
= his or her soul is doomed to wander
about through the endless ages Of
eternity in an intermediate region
between heaven and hades. At the
end OF each moon they are allowed
to lcok into heaven but net allowed
to enter.
