A Most Important Section OF the '

Some time must elapse before the

ially in the use Of stamps upon table
PAPER that the general public will be
likely to make mistakes. When doubt
exists pains should be taken to make
proper inquiry in order that liability
may not be incurred. The following
is an important section of the law:

Congressman Love of the Sixth.

Clarlon-Ledger.
Hon. W. +. Love, the genial and
popular Congressman from the sixth
district, passed through the city en-
route home from Washington.
Mr.. Love has announced himself as
a candidate for reelection from the
Sixth, and as he has no opposition VIII,
of course, be elected. In a short in
terview with a Clarion-Ledger repre-
sentative, Mr.. Love talked very inter-
estingly about affairs in Washington
and politics in general. He is II OF
the best Informed members OF the
Mississippi delegation and always has
| something valuable to say to the
scribe who approaches him on tne
subject Of news.
"While nobody seems inclined to
make the race against me-" SAID MT
Love, J am going to make a canvass
of the district anyway, just to keep
acquainted with my people. Last

vented me from visiting many places

thoroughly acquainted. l Will venture

of Congress during the past sever
months than any previous session
since the ciXil war;"
The reporter questioned Mr.. Love
about the stormy scenes around thu
capitol just previous to the adjourn
mcnt. He smiled a broad smile ant
said:
