Mississippi Mourns the Death Of Her
Beloved Son.

The telegraphic dispatches published
Tuesday conveyed the melancholy in
telligcnce that that grand old man,
JOHN MARSHALL STONE,
Mississippi's ex-Chief Magistrate had
calmly and peacefully passed away at
the home Of his neice at Holly Springs,
early Monday morning last.
We will not undertake the Office Of
eulugist or panegyrist, butsimply take
the privilege of dropping a. tear in
common with the people OF the State
to lament his loss. In all the relations
of life. rs in all the departments Of
duty, he vas the ideal man. Let us
indulge the pleasing hope, that in his
last moments he could look back upon
a well spent life, with every duty done,
every task performed, and with calm
and peaceful confidence he met with
out fear the messenger uf death which
summoned him to the far of Eternal.
The pen wearies and the brain sick.
ems at the contemplation that he is
gone, but we are cons0led by the great
and enduring truth that "He Is not
dead, but sleepeth," and that in the
last great day OF accounts he viii
appear clad in the habiliaments Of the
redeemed, and occupy a place at tho
right hand Of God forever and forever

A LEGAL OPINION.

Acknowledgement McCiurg has writ
ten the clerk nf the board Of superyis-
Ors that it is incumbent upon the
board to furnish and pay for magis-
trate'S blanks. We deign to hope that
our supervisors will not declare his
opinion unconstitutional.
[llernaudO TimeS.Promoter.
Judge Wood. Of this district long
since decided that the board of super
visors nf this county were legally bound
to furnish blanks and all printed -sta-
tionery to justices Of the peace, but
the board refused and a suit was the
result. Judge Wood deciding ia favor
Of the plaintiff.
We hope the opinion Of the Attor-
ney-General, the law officer Of the
State will forever settle this question,
and henceforth the county printer and
the board Of supervisors will dwell
together in unity.

any objection to Judge Wood or

THE LUMBER TRADE.

The Port Of Pascag0ula is enjoying
the distinction Of exporting more lum-
Der and timber than any other point
on the entire Gulf Coast. A marked
increase took place last year in the
quantity shipped, which required and
engaged a corresponding larger proper
tion Of tonnage to transport the same
tn domestic and foreign markets.
Vessels are carrying this most lmpOr-
tant product OF our region to Holland.
England and many other countries Of
Europe TO South America, Central
America, South Africa. and in fact
almost every other place available to
navigation. Pascagoula's long estab-
lished coastwise trade with northern
and eastern Atlantic cities Of our
OWN country is maintained also with
greater shipments both by water and
rail.
