a large crowd of representa-
tive citizens were present last
Tuesday at the Court house to
hear Hon. Geo. 4. Wilson, OF
Lexington, discuss what he. and
those who think like him. are
pleased to term sound money
principles but what in fact is
a weak and futile attempt to de-
fend and justify the course OF
John Sherman for the past TWEEN
~ years in dem0netizing silver.
Surely the standard of DemOc-
raey has been lowered to the
depths, when such men will quit
their business, and go forth
over the land and preach to the
people those principles which
John sherman and the Republi-
can party have advocated. and
which the Democratic party
have condemned for quarter
of a century.
Mr.. Wilson is a good talker.
ard an able man, and his speech
IN some respects would be pro-
ductive of good, but for the
fact that he assumes the false
position that every man who is
in favor of free silver at 10 to |
Is a populite.
This IS sumption is so mani
testify unfair, unjust and untrue,
and Is insisted ON so strongly
by Mr.. Wilson that whatever
force his argument might in
other respects have, is lost en-
tIrely because the people to
whom he talks know that such
is not the case, especially in
Mississippi If the people of
any state were ever committed
TO anything, the people of Mis-
sissippi are committed to free
silver, and no man in his right
mind has ever before dared To
say that they are not Democrats.
And when Mr.. Wilson under
takes to read them out of the
Democratic party and class
them with the POpulites, he
commits sin which is as hate
ful and odiOus TO our people as
was the -erime of 1879 which
be tries so hard to defend.
We trust Mr.. Wilson will see
the error OF his way and will
quit the field which he has 20
recently taken in the interest of
the classes, and will return to
the faith of his fathers, and that
he may soon obtain the pardon
of his people for having gone
OF on a wild and fOrlorn hope,
and a most goddess cause.

A Soldiers Home.

In reference to purchasing IA
home for the disabled Confeder-
ate veterans of our State. which
has been agitated more or less
for the pasts few years, the
State Line Graphic, gives three
reasons in opposition to the
scheme, which we here produce /:
First, there are not a great
many disabled Confederate sol
diers in the State. and in "A
score of years more there will
probably be none, then the
property will be of no use to
the State.
Secondly, nearly all, If not all
the old soldiers have children
or other near relatives who are
able to provide for their wants,
and who would not consent for
them To leave them to enter a
Soldiers Home.
Thirdly, if thetState wishes to
do anything more for her aged
veterans, she could contribute
much more materially to their
welfare and pleasure by increas-
ing their pensions and allowing
them to spend their remaining
days in "peace .and plenty
among their loved ones.

The Commencement at the
Abbeville Normal School open
ed Thursday morning at 10
o'clock with prayer by DIR. J. X.
j Johnson. of Abbeville, Miss.
The commencement sermon
vas preached ut 1890 a. M. by
Rev. 7 W Lewis, of Grenada,
Miss, taking for his subject,
-the Power of Love- He
proved himself to be a profound
thinker, and his well rounded
words and eloguence seemed to
reach the hearts Of all present.
Senior class exercises at $50
p. m, consisting Of prophcsy.
poems, history, &c.
Junior orations at Sis n. m.
Friday morning trains from
both north and south brought
distinguished visitors from Wa
terford, Oxford, and surround
ing counties and towns, who al
ways encourage Us with their
presence at our annual com
mencements of the AbbevilIe
Normal. and by 10 a. IN. Able
vile had, seemingly by some
magnetic influence, emerged
from a quiet village to a city of
no mean proportions. Came.
they did, in wagons, carriages.
buggies. carts, on foot, and on
crutches-snd still they came.
At 10 a m. the strains of the
soul stirring music furnished by
the Oxford Brass Band was
heard on the campus. For
gentiemanly department, pa
thence and practice, this band
cannot be excelled in the State.
At 1890 graduating exercises
were opened with prayer by
Rev. ID. Fly, of Ma rshaIl county.
Finals were then delivered by
the members of the graduating
class, who acquitted themselves
in a very creditable manner. and
the diplomas were then deliv-
cred tn the following young
ladies' and gentlemen: Mr.. j
III Holder. of Tate county, Miss
Ella Welbourn, of Pamela coun-
ty. Mr.. W y Craig, Noah. Miss
Matte wilkins. Abbeville. and
Mr.. Mark Hardin, Laws Hill.
These were delivered by Prof
F y Esrmon, who seemed to
rejoice with them in their well
merited success
At $3.50 p m the sweet strains
of music by the band at the
chapel, announced the hour for
the annual address, which was
delivered by Mr.. VI. 4. Mont
gomery. of Oxford. and We
must say that his address. both
for elOquence and logical
thought. eXcelled any ever de
livered III the spacious hall of
the Abbeville Normal. Mr..
Montgomery closed his adj
dress by making an earnest ap-
peal To the class Of '95 and the
alumni association in going out
to fight the battle Of life, to be
ever ready and willing to work.
At $50 came the annual play
of the Thespian Society, and
standing room Was at a premi-
um. and the audience represent
ed the gallantry and beauty of
the surrounding towns and
souHtry. All secured to be de
lighted with the tricks Of Pete
the negro, and Jonathan
Scruggins. the greener, and
with the annual reunion. in
dulged in by all, cane the close
of one Of the most brilliant and
successful commandments of
the Abbeville Normal.

There is an old proverb to
the effect that when people are
most prosperous they are least
happy. Here is the truth in the
saving. When a man has all
his wants he stagnates. He be-
comes standing pool of water
instead of a running brook. He
gathers slime and malaria, and
all manner of creeping things,
as does standing water. But
when in active pursuit of wealth
he cleans himself as does the
water of a running brook. True
happiness is the active exercise
of all the faculties of the mind.
body aud soul. To keep these
faculties active an incentive tn
exertion is necessary. Man is
naturally prone to idleness. If,
then, prosperity brings diseon-
tent We must be prosperous
people, for we are constantly
told that there is great diseon-
tent among the people.-Bir-
