SOLUTIONS OF MISSISSIPPI
HISTORY.

In the forthcoming (Jackson) MIS-
Sissippi Teacher, Prof. Trawick, OF
Crystal Springs, assumes responsible
for the search questions in Missis-
sippi history that provoked such Sc
we're criticisms of Supt. Whitfield and
furnishes the following solutions: He
says: Proud indeed will be the pa
rent when his child is asked, who
quit the church rather than cut off
his que?' and he responds with assur-
ance: George Poindexter and none
other was the man who thus gained
Immortality. Similarly it will in fu-
ture argue considerable lack Of atten-
ton to the study Of Mississippi histo-
ry if, when the benevolent trustee
visits the country school and inquiries:
who was it that entertained a NOR
tai hatred of Gov. Alcorn because he
kicked a drunken mar from a ball
r00m?, the bright urchins do not re-
srond with breath that Alexander
Keith McClung thus fed the fatal en-
beers of his wrath for years afterward.
IL is assumed, of course, that every
one knows the answer to the question
who held the calf off by the tail
while the old lady MIXED the cow
but Prof. Trawick volunteers the in
formation that Franklin L. Plummer
thus restrained the impetuous calf
while the old lady extracted the lac
teal emulation. 70 those who never
heard the fact recited it will cause a
thrill Of pleasure to know that Gov.
Matthews was the chief executive of
Mississippi who once, in a burst of
confidence, told a friend that the only
tombstone he desired was a mullen
stalk. The name OF mother-in.law,
so long the target of so much unde-
served reproach, is redeemed from OBJ
l0Quy by the answer to question 3,
which is: Whose mother.in-law help
ed a prominent State official to escape
from duress Of punishment?' The an
swer is the mother-in-law OF defaulG-
ing Treasurer Graves, who by the sim
pie strategy OF changing her attire
with her sOn-in-law assisted him to
evade his guards. Not to dwell furth-
er on the remaining questions which
have evoked so many inquiries ad-
dressed to the department of educa-
Jon, it may be well to State that Col.
Bradford and A. X. McClung prayed
that in the Mexican war they might
shot" This prayer of Col. Nc
Jlung not being yisibly answered on
occasion of its being offered, he
Jock matters in his own hands and
compensated himself considerably in
litter life by being frequently half
hot. Jno. A. Quitman was the gov
'rnor of Mississippi who died of poi.
on supposed to have been administer
ID while dining with the president of
he United States, As this question
las been c~ontroverted, Prof. TrawiCk
ives as his source of information the
Life and Correspondence Of John A.
luitman, p, l2S."

event Of refusal TO be vaccinated to
notify the health officer and such
persons will be required to be vac
cinated or suffer the penalty Of fine
and confinement in the pest house.

ing at all, | still occasionally find

the negroes, who instead of report

his address without notifying the pub
