paid very little attention TO the
attempt of a few anti Bryan dem-
ocrats in New Jersey, to start q
boom for Hon. Grover Cleveland
as the democratic candidate nexp
year, simply because they know
that it is not worth any attention.
Even IL Col. Bryan, the man
whom ninety per cent of the dem
ocratic party wishes to SEQ nom
mated again. were to die before
the nominating convention met.
Mr.. Cleveland 8 name would not
be seriously considered He has
received all the honors he will
ever get get from the national
democracy, with which he was
never really in sympathy upon
more than two or three of it's
principles, and even those he has
way of interpreting to suit him-
self. Mr.. Cleveland is an able
man--one of the ablest who was
ever president--but SO self-opin-
donated as TO be unfit 10 lead a
party in country where every
man is theoretically, az least, the
peer Of every other man. One
autocrat is an ample sufneency
for long time to come. The
last time Mr.. Cleveland was NOM
mated, it was not because he was
the choice Of the majority Of the
party, but because Of the shrcwd-
ness Of Hon. w. c., Whitney
Against the advice Of experts,
Secretary Alger gave n contract,
last year for twenty five Brown
segmental wire wound guns.
They are now ready for delivery,
but will not be accepted, because
when tested, one OF them blew
out the breech and fractured its
jacket, under less tnan tns re-
quired pressure. II they had
been ready for delivery before
Alger went out, they would have
probably been accepted and paid
for.

the peak that night. He was too
gallant TO be challenged by a wo-
man and not accept, so, despite
his weight Of years, he determin-
cd to make the ascent, and he did.
His granddaughter. who dared
him to make the attempt, became
weary on the way, and did not
reach the summit. The return
was made the next morning by
daylight Since making the as.
CEN, Mr.. Langdon has been told
that he is the Oldest man who ever
climbed the peak for pleasure, and
the statement is perhaps true.
This is his first visit to Colorado,
and he is very much pleased with
the country. He will leave for
his home in Mississippi on Mon
day

MRS. JULIA BRENT.

Death has again visited our
church and taken from US our be-
loved sister, Mrs. Julia Brent,
nee Walker, a granddaughter Of
Rev. Zachariah Reeves. She
was born March 19tn, 1851. and
was married to John r. Brent in
1876. She united with the Bogue
Chltto church July 0, 1873, and
was baptized by Rev. b. A.
Crawford.
The sister lived as her calling
demanded--a deYout Christian, a
loving companion, a pious moth
er---until death called her home
July 25th, 1899.
No longer is her gentle voice
heard in the home circle, but she
has left US the bright hope that
her voice is heard more gentle
and sweet among the angels
around the throne OF God.
AS she called her family around
her bedside the day before she
died, and bade them farewell, she
told them that she was going
home, sweet home, and told them
to meet her there.
She leaves a husband and five
children, four CONS and one
daughter, two brothers and one
sister, and host Of relatives and
friends TO mourn for her.
In conclusion we can say, weep
not dear husband and children,
as your companion and mother is
not dead, but is peacefully Sleep
ing in the arms Of Jesus, and will
rise on the morning Of the first
resurrection.
Respectfully submitted,
s.. e. WALKER.

is IT TRUE?

Gillsburg, Miss, Aug. 8.
| have just read Nemo's article,
"A Sad Reflection, !" in which he
quotes from Rev. j. H. Lane
and then says: "The average
preacher is satisfied with this
mere Introductory form that re-
ligion assumes among us. Our
preachers seem to desire no high
attainments in grace, no upward
mountinge in spiritual life. no
requirement for closer walk
with God. Their membership
thus deprived Of all incentives to
higher life, set down upon the
ordinances, and do nothing, and
soon lose all sensibility in the
matter of religion. - He then
continues: 81 by no means place
Mr.. Lane in the above catalogue"
II seems evident from Nemo's
standpoint that the Baptisis Of
this country have but one preach-
er who understands his business,
or who is making any effort to
lit his people TO a higher plane
Of Christian living. This is not
only thrust, but a gross mis-
repre- sentation. | have a right
extensive acquaintance with the
Baptist ministry Of Mississippi,
and | know of no minister Of any
nV,e, #AJ ne met stlNlng c~n-
stantly and zealously to develop
his people in the Christian graces.
Our preachers are worthy men,
and they are leading their peo-
pie both to higher living and in
good works. But Memo has been
in this lashing business for sew
eral years, and his whip seems
not to be worn. With him al
most any body is better than a
preacher. Indeed, Memo secs
nothing in the ministry but in.
efficiency and failure, with a pos
sible eveeption here and there
However much Memo may criti-
else the preachers and parade
their shortcomings, he will never
succeed in winning the Baptists
to his Second blessing theory or
get them to adopt his views of
holiness.
In all of Nemo's writings-and
he is copious writer--I don't
remember to have ever read any
thing on the Great Commission.
The last command of the risen
Christreceives little attention from
Nemo'spen. Likewise the prac-
tical question of personal liber-
ality, 50 abundantly taught in
the Scriptures, passes unnoticed.
Indeed a number OF important
subjects could be mentioned, on
which he might turn his splendid
powers, if only he could be in
duced TO let up on the preachers.

MILAN ON THE COAST.

Biloxi, Aug. 10. Hon. F. A.
congressman from this
district, dropped into this city
last Dight for a stay OF several
days. Mr.. McLain is pursuing
a course unique, so far as this
district is concerned, of visiting
among all classes of his con-
stituents, and by mixing with the
people, learning of their wants
and desires. In the short time he
has been in congress. Mr.. Nc
Lain has accomplished more for
his district than all his predeces-
sors combined, and it is very
bare possibility that he will have
any opposition to his re- election.
From here he will go TO the in
terror counties of this district.

grocery store in the state. All
the hardwood finishing Of the OPP
era house and stores is from the
Novelty Machine Works OF Ya-
zoo City. To Mr.. John Lear,
president and general manager
of the opera house company, we
are indebted for many courtosies.
Altogether the handsomest
hardware store in the state is
that Of the Crane- Hinman Com
pany. There may be one other
that carries larger stock, that
of Lee Richardson, Vicksburg.
There are two immense cotton
oil mills in Yazoo City. The
mississippi is one of ten mills
of one company. 1t operates
81 months in the year, brushes
1876 tons of seed every "a
hours,S employs 125 men, and
has weekly payroll of about
$500. Its product is crude oil,
cake and meal. Its ginnery con-
nection has eight stands, ginning
75 bales a day. This mill was
established 1877. Ourgood friend
E. Schaefer, is general manager.
The plant of the Producers
Cotton Oil Company is nearly
equalin capacity. Its main build
ings are brick and its machinery
the very latest. The company
was organized in 1898. Its 400
horse power Corliss engine runs
as smooth as a watch. It's prin-
cipal shed for the storage of seed
from the trains is 50x350 feet;
and in the railroad tracks running
through its ards we recognized
some of the rails Of the late street
railway in jackson. Our old
time friend, j C. Henderson, il
secretary Of the company
We had heard much OF
LINToNIA,
Nnd thanks to the courtesy of
Messrs. Lear C Pepper, we were
able to see for ourselves this ex-
tensive suburban addition. In
til 1890 this tract of 1850 acres
was known as the Willis planta-
tion. Its last cotton crop was
made that year. A company
bought the land for sos 900, laid
il off in lots Of from oue-halt 10
twenty acres. and have since re-
allzed many times the origin al in
vestment. The handsomest res
licences of the city are being
erected in Lintonia; a wide grav
eled avenue runs through the
center for the distance OF two
miles. The Illinois Central re-.
Gently purchased sixty acres in
Lintonia-twenty acres along its
track. and three acres wide, at a
cost of So, 900, and here they will
erect a roundhouse and other
improvements necessitated hv
the extension of tho road to Mem :
phis. Mr.. Pepper showed US
one of his corn patches in Lin
tonia-forty acres-planted the
22d of May-the Mosby Prolific
that will yield 70 bushels to the
acre. The seed came from the
| Al. & M. College. We took many
notes of Mr.. Peppers s success in
intensive farming, but cannot
trespass further on limited space,
| Lintonia can easily accommodate
a population of ten thousand
and in ten years it will approach
that number.
Want Of time prevented oul
calling upon the county officials
We were pleased to learn thai
Mr.. s.. s. Griffin, who has been
chancery clerk for twenty years,
will be his own successor by
unanimous vote; and that Circuit
| Clerk F. c.. Wilson will succeed
Sheriff S. w. johnson.
