Your town Always.

If everybody in town, great and
small, rich and poor, would always
talk for the town, and for the towns
interest, it would soon result in giving
the town boom, that would attract
new people and many new businesses.
A general boom seems to have struck
West Virginia and such towns as do
not .'catch on now, will be doomed
to sleep in another generation.

An Interesting Bis of state History.

Some time ago we clipped to copy ON
the Haziehurst Courier the followin r.
which editor Harper found in a copy Of
the Star, published in Jackson in 1851.
1t is from an article detaiiiag events
in the early history of the territory of
Mississippi" in which the arrest and
pro ,eeution of Aaron Burr is quite fully
set forth:
There were two political parties in the
territory, the Fed sralist and the Republi-
can When il cane to the selection Of
a grand jury, the sheriff, who WAS opposed
to the administration of President Thomas
Jefferson, summoned seventy-siN Federal
lists, from which the jury was formed, This
grand jury retired, and in the course of the
day returned to court with sundry present
ments: 1t paid "A high compliment to Col
onel Burr for his patriotism and virtue,
commended as worthy of all praise the
spirit of liberty that animated him to or
ganize a force for the redemption from
despotic rule of the oppressed Mexicans,
and rendered him their best wishes for sue
cess. The grand jury then presented
Thomas Jefferson, president of the United
States for high crime and misdemeanor for
issuing his proclamation warning the PEG.
pie of the United States against becoming
in any manner connected with the expedi-
ton against Mexico which was in process
of organization under the auspices of Col
one Burr. They presented Cowles Meade,
acting governor, for calling out the militia
to obstruct the passage of Colonel Burr in
his descent of the Mississippi river. They
presented General Poindexter and VIM, b.
Shields for having visited Colonel Burr at
his boats, and more especially for having
eXacted from him a written surrender TO
the civil authorities of Mississippi Terri
tory and having nothing more to present,
they walked into court, delivered their pa.
pers, and were discharged without waiting
for the thanks of the court for the fidelity
with which they had discharged the ardu.
Gus labors conlided to them.
