M1coh MISS, OcI, ), 1879.
Mr. \. {, B1GLE,
DEAR Sill: Your last commuolc
Ton was duly received. | am unable.
however, TO rnrstrue as Au accep,
'ahcc q nay suggestion to submit our
tlhtii&r!.. tor congress in Noxubee
county 10 Il primary election TO be
hc'd on It"lsy Of HE general election
Nov 5, 1885.
ln7w make YOU . definite, distinct
and lntl proposition, namely that we
subinIl our ease to the Democratic
voters Of NoSubee county TO be de-
e.lci On the dy Of The general cleo
tiun, the votes to be conutcd and the
result 10 be declared rs in said gencr.
al election. Ihi. | conceive TO be en-
l%ncniIy fair and jnst. rs it gives to
every voter a convenient time and an
easy mode Of declaring lis choice for
Congress, am not aware of 4 sol.
ltary objection tina, could be urged
against ills plan, as ii utterly pre-
cIldes every charge Of manipulation
and chicanery which have too often
and teo long been the resort of sche.
mers aud wire pullers to the disgust
and serious dissatisfaction o. homes,
voters.
| understand YOU to assent to a
primary election, comforting the power
upon the Executive Com. to fix the
date thereof. The only point of disa.
sreelncnt between us is the date of
The primary. Under our statute tncr,
is no provision for a primary election
Oh the day Of tie genera election.
Indeed there is no law authorizing
county primaries in wears of general
elections, except July lst and Sept LIST.
therefore we can have Il primary
Nov, 9Th only by your consent.
in conclusion, desire to say that so
a date for the primary election
be otherwise than alyanla
g'ous TO YOU, inasmuch az you have
bcen an avowed aud active candidate

our las: circuit conr: in August, while

Going Back.

a Boston apostle OF physical culture
SAYS that an excellent and never fail.
ing cure Tor nervous headache is the
simple act OF walking backward. Ten
minutes are as long as is usually neccs.
sary to promenade. 1t sometimes
however, requires more than ten min
uies 10 walk at all if one is vcry 'pcr-
vous." But it is not understood that
II is necessary to walk a chalk line,
ANY kind of walking will do, provided
It is backward. 1t 10 well to get in a
long, narrow room, where the win.
tlows are high, and walk very slowly,
placing first the ball of the foot OH the
floor and then the heel. Besides cur.
ing headache, this exercise promotes a
graceful carriage. A %halfhour's walk
backward every day will do wonders
toward producing a graceful gal,
This is something like faith cure
which will not be attempted by the
advanced woman, who will take no
steps backw ard. -Pic
