1t Is Judge Neville

The judicial contest in this,
the Second District has been set
tied, and Hon. Jas. Neville of BIZ
loXi gets the plum. A special
from Jackson announces that
Gov. Longino has made the APP.
pointment in favor OF Mr.. Neville
to succeed Judge II. A. Wood,
whose term expired on May LIST.
There are great many people
who are pleased with the appoint
ment and a great many who are
sorely disappointed and who
thought Judge Wood should have
been re-apPointed for another
term, in as much as he had given
almost universal satisfaction and
was thoroughly qualified in every
respect for the honorable posi-
ton. But strange things will
happen in politics, and since Gov.
Longino has deemed it wise to
appoint Mr.. Neville, it can only
be hoped by his political oppo-
nents that he will prove himself
up to that high standard which, in
their opinion, is necessary to
make one eligible to hold the
lofty and dignified position of
circuit judge.

Beware OF a Cough.

A cough is not disease, but a
symptom. Consumption and
bronchitis, which are the most
dangerous and fatal diseases,
have for their first indication a
persistent cough, and if properly
treated as soon as this cough APP
pears are easily cured. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy has
proven wonderfully successful,
and gained its wide reputation
and extensive sale by its success
in curing the diseases which
cause coughing. Ii it is not ben
