Greenwood, Miss, June l6.-The

Lefiore county mass meeting for sena-
tor from the counties of Leflore and
Tallahatchie gives this county to
Allen or Williams, as he, together with
Judge S. r. Coleman, candidate for the
legislature, who received the unani-

are both outspoken anti ti-McLaurin

"It Pays to Trade at McGraths. -

That is quite a popular saying in
this section. had it proved to me in
little transaction several weeks ago.
My wife sent in 21a dozen eggs to be
bartered for coffee and thread. You
offered me 8 cents per dozen for eggs.
/ took them across the street and got 9
cents dozen. l thought 1 was making
money. The eggs came to 221a cents.
l took cents worth of ball thread and
the balance in coffee. When l got
home my wife said: why! you only
got 5 balls of thread for nickel. Nc
Grath gives 10, and that package of
coffee don't look as big as it ought to-"
The next time 1 went to your store.
Yours truly,

WASHINGTON COUNTY'S ENDORSEMENT.
On last Thursday the Democrats of

That we note with pride the universal
encouragement his canvass is receiving
from the sovereign Democratic voters
of the State, fit tribute to his splen-
did manhood. That in presenting him
as our candidate, we present man
whose private life is without reproach,
free silver Democrat, standing on
the Chicago platform, and one
whose record as an upright, impartial
Judge has commanded the respect of
all men. And further than all this, we
present a man who, as Governor of
Mississippi, will recognize no faction,
will be strictly non partisan, and who,
if elected, will take his seat with
feeling of gratitude to the people, a
full and high sense of his responsible
ties. and without pledge or promise
IN he fulfilled save those which he is
committed to in public speeches. Be it
further
"Resolved, That the chairman, for
the purpose of carrying out the fore
going resolution, appoint committee
of one from each supervisors district,
and one from the county at large to
select and report the name of thirty
delegates to the State convention
which meets at Jackson on Aug. -,
and the said delegates are hereby in
structed to vote upon all questions as
majority of said delegates shall de-
eide: that no proxies shall be recog,,
nized, when assembled at jackson, and
that said delegates shall use all hon
orable means to secure the nomination
of A. II. Longino for Governor, regard
ing his nomination as paramount to
that of any and all other candidates.

The following resolutionswerea adopt

to Judge Longino, coming as it does
from the hearts of the people among

no doubt she will do it.

people of Mississippi as a gentleman
worthy of their highest confidence.
We feel that any words of praise on
our part are unnecessary, because his
eminent ability in an official capacity
is recognized far and wide, but we es-
TEEN it to be our sovereign privilege,
as we'll as great pleasure, to be able
to add our simple tribute to all that
