There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other disease, put together and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable Tor great many years doctors pro nounced 1t local disease, and pre-. scribed local remedies. and by con. stantly failing to cure with lo.al treat. ment. pronounced it incurable.

OUR JURY SYSTEM.

There has recently been a great

try. 1t is not what it should Re.

it not more reasonable to suppose

man, that he would change his

tice than a man who is so ignorant
that he never forms any opinlor

the question: "have you formed OF

while the man who never had an
opinion of his own and has never
gained enough general information
perhaps, to tell who the president
of the United States is, is admitted
as a competent person to try the
life of his fellow-man.
This law should be so amended
that none but honest and intelli-
gent meE will be admitted as COM

OUR MERCHANTS.

To the people of Poplarville we
give this advice: Foster home Inc
terests, patronize home institutions
and encourage home industries in
every way. There is no reason why
Poplarville should not blossom
like a rose. Her facilities and re-
sources are excellent and nothing
is lacking except the united action
of her most enterprising citlzens.
Don't send off TO Meridian or
New Orleans for your supplies, be
cause you can perhaps get some
articles a little cheaper.
If you are able to lay in large
supplies of provisions aud dry
goods, give your orders to your
home merchant and he will sell
| just as cheap as you can buy in the
city. By doing this the money is
kept at home and every citizen is
benefited. Don't hold grudge
against the merchants and think
they are pocketing all the money
there is afloat, they have harder
time and more cares than do the
working men of any other class.
They Only realize a reasonable
profit on their goods and are with~
out an exception, kind, courteous
and anxious to accommodate then
patrons at any time.
Truly can this be said OF our
Poplarville merchants, and they
deserve the support of every hon.
est, loyal minded citizen OF the
place.

THERE is no healthier section
anywhere to be found on earth
than this pine region. The sum
mers are cooler than in the North
and the winters are SO mild as not
to interfere with the crops, hence
the land is used continuously
throughout the year, giving the
farmer an opportunity to plant and
harvest a crop of something every
month in the year. The lands in
this section are very cheap, but
the attention Of the whole country
is being rapidly attracted to them,
and thousands of homesteads are
being taken up every year. Now
is the time to secure home cheap,
because these lands are just as
we'll worth 500 per acre as Cali.
fornia lands, and the time is COM
ing, when they cannot be had for
less. Southwark the tide of immi.
grationis surely taking its way.

Under the caption of "Good
Times Coming" the Brandon News,
published in the great county OF
Rankin, contains the following:
Reader, can you remember when
the peSple did not cry "hard tlmes?'
Ca2 you recall time when some
Dody's crop did not fail or misfor-
tune stalk abroad? We guess not.
Hard times are ever present with
some people and always will be.
No one will deny that times have
been hard for few years past, bnt
brighter times are most likely &c
come. Periods of plenty go in cy-
Giles, and if we are to believe the
evidence at hand, this section is on
the threshold of a prosperous era
We have all the natural advantages
Of any section under the sun, and
it remains for the people of the
south to better their condition BY
individual and collective efforts.
To show the feeling in business
circles, the following condensation
from Bradstreet's, the most con-
servatlve of the trade and business
publications, will be of interest:
First-That the crops are good.
Secondhand the price Of wheat
and cotton has so greatly advanced
as to pour scores ofmilllons of dol
lars into the laps of the farmers,
while the price of other staples has
advanced In sympathy with these
Third-That short crops in Eu-
rope, India and Argentina assure
continuance of these high prices
during the market season.
Fourth That merchants every
where are replenishing their stocks
of goods as they have not done for
several.years past.
Fifth-That in consequence rail-
road earnings everywhere show i'm.
provement.
Sixth-That there are already
signs of industry, the manufacture
ers beginning to anticipate the
new demand for goods.
Seventh-That our exports for
the last year have been So enor-
mously in excess of our imports as
to make US very heavily creditor
nation-a condition that does not
guarantee prosperity but tends
strongly to help it.
Eighth-That there is everywhere
among the farmers feeling of
hopefulness which has not existed
for several years past.

END OF THE ENCAMPMENT.
The Festivities Close With a
Sham Battle and Ball.

v,cksbuTg, Aug. 27-The largest
crowd that ever poured out OF
vicksburg, reinforced by thousands
from the adjacent country, witness
ed the grand finale of the annual
state encampment this evening.
Fifteen thousand people witnessed
the great sham battle at 6p. m.
The sponsors ball concluded the
festivities in the evening.
Trans carrying a thousand Or
more persons each had been run
ming to the grounds at frequent in
tervals all day. Country wagons
also came loaded and the attend
ance Is estimated at from ten to
fifteen thousand. The battle took
place about 6 p. m. and was a
struggle for the heights northeast
of the camp, defended by Major
Porter with eleven companies and
three batteries and attacked by
| Colonel George S Hoskins with the
third regiment of infantry and a
troop of calvary. The conduct of
their respective forces was left to
the untrammeled judgement of tn Q
commanders and the result was a
peculiarly thrilling encounter 10
which the attacking force was adc
Judged to have won the victory.
The evolutions were executed
with great judgment, so veterans
present said, aud nothing could
havo been more realistic than the
attack and defence. Major Gener.
al Blllups in an interview today
spoke of the encampment and said
it was the most successful in the
history of the guard.
The sponsors ball which con-
Guided the festivities of the ems
campment took place tonight and
was a splendid entertainment.
The troops depart by the early
morning trains aud are now max
ing preparations to break camp. -
