Serious results often follow strain,
especially when il affects the back, and
few people are so liable TO strain as those
who are lifting heavy loads of various
kinds, from day TO day. The teamster
rarely ever overtaxes his strength Fa-
uiiiarity with the class of wares he
handles, enables him to entirely gage the
load he lifts-so not TO put an excessive
burden on himself But with the farmer
il is different. He is lifting loads Of such
varying weights and under such varying
conditions that he is very liable to lift a

The National Encasnpment at Cincinnati was
noted for the beauty OF its badges. The only

donated by the War Department, and packed
in sealed boxes, was beautiful Souvenir,
which every comrade should have. This
Badge can be obtained of a soldiers daughter,
by remitting % cents in postage stamps to

turkey, deer, and rattlesnake, John Harmon
started to Charlestown to attend court. He
was armed with an old fashioned rifle. A

three made what seemed to he an insane
rush for the top of the rebel works and
knocked whole platoon of the seeming artil-
lerymen down with one sweep of their
muskets.
They turned their faces back towards the
excited men in Iine-of battle across the ravine,
waved their caps and shouted.
The truth flashed upon the others.
The rebels had evacuated the place!
A mighty shout arose, and then came a
race to see whose flag should be first planted

HRNRY's AND CATCHIRGs' PRINCIPLES
COMPARED.

Pat Henry said here, HE would
not ~sacrafce principle for the sake Of
getting office as Mr.. Catchings has
done" Now let us spend a few mo,
ments in examining his record. 1t
Is a fact well known in Vlcksbnrg r.
not IN this County that he supported
Mr.. Beck a Republican for Office IN
that city several years ago, when
the democrats Of Vicksburg was try.
ing to defeat him. But aside from
that he claims to have always en-.
dorsed silver and he says Catching
has always been against silver but
still he endorsed Catchings against
the silVer-candidate, LONGING and did
not refuse the offer as delegate OF The
convention at V~icksburg to 20 TO
Greenylle to District Convention
but went there and worked for cat.
chings nomination. On the other hand
Catchings had been and out spoken
advocate OF Gold and the people of
this district knew it but when ths
wish Of his constituents was made
known to him wanting the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver 10 to
!, he realizing as Mr.. Henry said
here in his speech athe vote Of d
representative is not his own but
OF a people who sent him there
and gave 1t to him" So in az.
cepting the nomination he accented
silver and has ever since voted for
i when the opportunity IN Con.
grcss presented itself. We do not
blame Mr.. Henry for voting and
working for Congressman Catchings
as the issue now, was the issue then,
the protection Of our large
plantations from the overflow and
as he sized up Judge Loglno then
we size him up to day. No equal
TO Catchings for such work. But
as TO the principle Of the men We
can not see where Mr.. Catchings
has sacrificed his In being for gold
and accepting the nomination Of 4
convention that as their represen.
tatlves he should voye for silver
any more than Mr.. Henry a free
silver advocate who accepted The
place Of representative of 4 con-
yention whose aim was to elect a
gold bug as he calls him, and not
support the free silver candidate IN
the race.

+ PAT HENRY is elected congressman from the 2nd dstrI
A. J. McLAURIE,

+ PAI HENRY is elected congressman from the End district, It
will be due to the untirtng work Of his friends throughout the dis
- trct They arc organized and are working like beavers. No man
do they approach but they have something to say about Henry. It Is that
way here in Greenwood, we know from observation, and we believe the same
work is everywhere else, Now, let the CatchIngs' men wake up, let them 40
to work Intwo more weeks 1t win be too late. You say the planters
throughout the delta with few exceptions want Catchlngs This We be.
lieye to be true, but let them spend o few days IN the towns lmpresslng the
fact upon the young men who will listen to their advice, and heed their
counsel IL they see it for the best.
Catchings may need every vote you get him to be elected, and II he doe,
not a thousand over will not inure his cause. The poll books OF Leaorg
county have been checked, and In Greenwood IL Is claimed that Henry will
beat Catchings a 100 vote We do not believe Il, but unless the supporters
Of Catchings 50 to work. they may expect II.
The only argument which the Henry men offer to-day Is Henry ia for
free silver and il elected viii look after ltvoes, while Mr. CatchlnQs. who
they have misreprcsented on the silver issue will work for ls passage, and
on the leyee interest he is the peer Of any man In the South, and can and
will do more for the delta than any man It can send.
Go to work. let our people know the facts and when the nth Of July
rolls around, instead Of Henry beating Catchlngs IN this county, The shoe
might fit the other loot or come o near 1t that the small majority he gets
win do no good.
