WELL NEVER!
What is it +!

Why! The Hunter tooUhless curry
comb. It's the most important i'm
provement in combs ever made. To
see it suck out the dandruff and dirt,
remove hair without clogging, don't
irritate the animal, tells the story, is
convincing, and stops all argument.
1t cleans any horse, any time OF year
better than any tooth comb eyer
made. 1t cleans itself; all dirt and
hair fall right out OF it. In short it
is time and labor saver. Simple.
durable, humane, effective, correct in
principle and perfect in operation.
All the good results in possible alike
to both long and short haired hors-
es. 1t is equally good for sweat,
mud and manure. 1t will not irri~
tate the most tender skinned horse
Distinctly humane, it sheds in one
third the time usually required and
there are no teeth to clean. The
Hunter curry comb is for sale by ".

No journal, local or other, is any.
where near the limits Of perfection,
Even the best editors are made Of lust
common clay and are prone to error.
They are criticised as no other men.
and good people are frequently unjust
in their comments upon their work
because they are not in a position to
take in the situation as it appears
from an editorial standpoint. A news
paper should be judged by its general
cilaracter-by its manifest purposes
and its sum total OF accomplishment
and not by any single expression or
position. 1t is so difficult for u news
paper to be always right, that its own
editor, il he fully realizes the respon-
sibility OF his position, Is frequently
dissatisfied with the work OF his own
heart and brain. He must feel his
way along, with high purpose OF I'M

Regulars and Militia.

The possibility Of war makes the
question rs to the readiness OF our
military force for a sudden call a very
interesting one. The Macon Tele-
graph has been giving attention To
the subject and from the information
which IL furnishes we learn that the
rec ular army consists OF ten regiments
OF cavalry with All officers and 6,0lO
enlisted men; five OF ARTILLERY, with
$50 officers and 1894 mem: twenty-five
OF infantry. with $40 officers and r.
ISL men, while there are 532 officers
and S,53S men in other branches OF the
service. This makes u force or 2.lI9
officers aud 1888 men OF all arms.
To this may be added the marine
corps Of 1000 men. The organized
militia 0f the State comprises $3.50
cavalry. 1906 artillery, l0l.S73 iEfan-
try, 3.S7l naval militia and 1891 mis-
c~ellaneOuS-a total Of 100000. These
regiments says the Telegraph are
nearly all on IL peace footing. and in
case Of wal they would be almost i'm
mediately increased by enlistment to
their full complement OF men, so that
in a very short time the organized
drilled military force available would
not fall short Of 200. 900 men. Well.
within u week BY far the greatest por-
ton Of these troops could be fully pre-
pared to go aboard transports should

SILVER'S SUCCESS.

The London Times commenting
cditorialIy upon the "disqulcting vote
on Senator Tellcr's resolution" says
the disaster is accumulated by the
fact that at length President Mckin-
ley has descended from the fence on
the right side"
Discussing the probable disruption
OF the Republican party and the re-
turn OF II silver majority at the next
election, the Times says: "Mr. Cleve-
land was a stronger man than his
successor, and fought the battle brave.
ly, but he saw his party broken TO
pieces"
The Times publishes n letter from
the well-known drm Of Close Bros. s.
Co., OF London, contendlng that there
is no need for alarm in the business
community with reference to currency
conditions in America.
Nothing has happened" they say,
ito justify the belief that there las
been any change OF sentiment in the
United State since 1896, when the
silver party was decisively defeated
under conditions never likely to be
made more favorable"

a PECULIAR SITUATION.-A cores
pendent OF the Memphis Appeal says:
Moss Point, Miss, is in one OF the
most peculiar situations in which a
lourishing town was ever placed. it
has a population between four and five
thousand and is unincorporated. 1t
has as its chief officer only a Justice
OF the pcuce, and for police service,
II lone constable. The fact that it
is unincOrp0rated is not the fault of
the citizens OF Moss Point, however.
They have tried time and again to be
Incorporated, but. according to the
Attorney General, it can't be done.
The section of the statutes t202I
which deals with the subject Of in.
corporation Of villages and not a word
Is sud about towns and cities. Now
4 village is well detned in section
29ll Of the statute and it must con-
tain oYer five hundred souls. Moss
Point has five thousand more or less
aud cannot be classed as a village. 1t is
AcilYand no provisions Is made for its
Incorporation. A bill was passed last
term rcnedying this omission in the
statute, but it got lost somehow. NJ.
a. bees, representative from that
county, will present another one soon
with the same object. Moss Point is
the largest unincorporated municipal
ity in Mississippi and probably ia the
United States"

A STRONG ADDRESS.

After a long and full conference at
Washington, the leaders OF the Dem.
ocracy, Populist and Free Silver Re-
publicans each issued addresses to
their followers in favor OF the free
and unlimited coinage OF sill liver, laying
down the policy to be pursued in the
next congressional campaign.
In his address to the Democracy,
Hon. }. X. Jones, chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee,
says:
1.-THE surrender of the Republican
party to the advocates Of the gold
standard and monopoly is at last COM
piete. The present administration,
called 10 power upon the solemn
pledge OF the Republican National
Convention at St. Louis to promote
bimetalism, has formulated and sent
to Congress a bill, the leading purpose
of which, the honorable secretary OF
the treasury avOws, is to commit TIE
country more thoroughly to the gold
Standard The country has already,
for twenty-four years been so thor
Oughly committed to this standard,
partly by law and partly by the usur-
pations OF the executive branch OF the
government, that its effects are seen
and felt on every hand wages are re.
duced; work is harder to get; the
weight of debt is doubled the value
OF land and other property is reduced
one-half or more, until the lives OF the
people are made bitter with hard
bondage.
The continued rise in the value OF
gold, or, which is the same thing, the
continued fall Of prices, must ineyita-
bly, transfer the property OF all those
engaged in active business, the actual
creators Of wealth, whether by hand,
brain or capital, to those who, avoid
ing the risk and efforts of active bust
ness, only draw interest.
ST there should be those who would
divide us, let them be summarily and
emphatically rebuked by the people,
who have none but high and patriotic
motives. After the bold declaration
OF the administration in favor Of the
gold standard, no sincere bimetallist
car ever again, by his vote or in
%fluence, give aid or encouragement to
the Republican party.
THE issue is Joined; we cannot
avoid it II we would. Either the
friends Of bimctalism or the advocates
OF the gold standard, trusts and mono.
poles must succeed. Who is not fol
us is against us. We are asking &c
man to abandon his party or change
his politics; we ask no one to yield any
principle; but in this great contest We
do appeal to all good men to stand
so!idly together for liberty and
humanity and strike down forever
this conspiracy OF gold and monopoly
