Rev. b. W. Tuttle's Temperance Ser

AoV. q. w. Iuttle'e temperance Ser
mon.
The temperance sermon preached at
the Congregational church week ago
last Sunday evening, by Rev. Il. w.
futile, was thoughtful, timely and
necessary.
1t was thoughtful, because it fairly
stated positions ana conditions on both
sides of the much mooted liquor ques-
tion.
1t was timely because the people of
Delaware county are just now expe-
riencing sort of spasmodic effort on
the part of q few to better our social
conditions by resort to the powers Of
force, and by taking advantage of every
technicality known to the civil law.
1t was necessary to stay the reaction
certain to follow as, result Of what
many consider ill-advised zeal on the
part of those engaged in this legal cru
SADIE against intemperance.
In his sermon Mr.. futile seemed to
clearly recognize the fact that the NOR
al influence of q minister of the gospel
is far more potent for the cause of tenn
perance than the yengence of the civil
law.
A man of Mr.. Tuttle's education and
discernment knows full well that the
civil law can not enter the hidden re-
cesses of the soul and quell its intern
perate desires. Neither can it invade
the social circle and expel the use of
intoxicating liquors, nor suppress the
haseless calumnies whispered in this
dark and sent forth to breed hatred and
resentment.
The worms which gnaw the life out
of the social tree, are to great oxtent
beyond the reach of the civil and Grim
inal law. A tree cannot be saved by
saving off branch here and there if
the real cause of the trouble is down
out of sight among thu roots. Society
is far more dependent upon moral In
fnences, upon education, culture and
the powers Of kindness than upon all
of the statutes that were ever enacted.
\ minister of the gospel, who stri, es
to better mankind by the powers Of
kindness, by appeals to mans natural
love for justice, by placing before
everyone monitor to lead them away
from vice, by making witness Of each
Individual conscience, an accusing wit
ness that will be present in darkness ~
we'll as in light, In the sanctuary of til.
home as we'll as in the open business
mart, is minister whose work is far
more useful to society than dozen
militant ministers armed with the
sword of the civil law.
Then again. society suffers positive
loss where the advocates of kindness
and moral suasion desert their fields
and join forces with th. powers OF
force. BY so doing they destroy their
influence as moral toschers, and place
themselves and their future work on
the level of the policeman and his
work. In saying this We intend no re-
lection upon policemen, but society re.
Inires moral teachers as we'll AZ police
men, and Teachers can do more fur lnai,
Than policemen can

BACK TAX CASES.

Natchez. The Natohez electric
street railway is now an assured
thir.y. The necessary amount of
bonds has been subscribed and the
contract for the work will be closed
in a few days. The company will
build about four miles of track. The
track and equipment will cost $50, 900
and can be completed in from sixty
to ninety days.
Judge 7. e. Cooper, attorney for
the state revenue agent, left an order
in the back tax cases with the board
0f supervisors, but the board did not
accept it. The order proposed that
the board approve the back tax as
sessment roll as it stands today. AS
there are mber of continued cases
and non-re j outs on the roll, togeth-
er with tn = mes of several persons
who are u. gawn and others dead,
the board - py adopted an order to
pass such rises to future meetings.
Besides, the assessments approved in
July and collected are on the roll,
and the order of Judge Cooper does
not authorize the erasure of such as
sessments.

FIRST BALE OF NEW COTTON.

FIRST BALE OF NEW COTTON.
Brookhaven. The first bale of new
cotton was received here Saturday. 1t
was raised by John W. Ballard of
Lawrence county, weighed 43S
pounds, and classed as low middling
1t was bought by John McGrath and
Sons at 8 cents and shipped to JULIUS
Weiss and Co., of New Orleans.
Messrs john McGrath and Sons had
offered $40 in gold for the first bale,
provided it weighed not less than 450
pounds, and did not class below good
middling, so that Farmer Ballard fell
short on both conditions. Neverthe-
less, Brookhaven claims credit for the
first new bale marketed in Mississippi
this year.
Louis Townsend, aged eleven, the
boy charged with tile murder of his
little nine-year- brother, had a
preliminary trial before Justice F. H.
Hoffman and was discharged, it being
held by the court that the evidence
was insufficient to hold him. The
state was unrepresented by counsel,
and the defense was represented by
Everett and Price. The strongest evil
dence against the boy was his own
conflicting statements, and his grand
father came to bis defense at this
point by declaring that he had long
regarded him at times as mentally
weak and unsound. The little dead
boy was found in creek, with hole
two or three inches deep in the side
of his head, which physician who
examined it testified was the cause Of
his death. The accused boys last
story was that he and his brother
were playing together on a pole on
the creek when the younger fell in
and soon disappeared. On this state
ment the defense based the theory
that he fell on a sharp snag, which
caused the hole in his head.

AN ANCIENT BOOK.

Richland. Marcellus W. Smith, a
prominent planter of Holmes county,
is in possession of an ancient docu-
r sat that is of more than ordinary
interest. 1t is an ancient book kept
by his great grandfather, Captain
Charles Smith of Berryville, Va.
when he was q captain in charge of
the commissary department and
George Washington was plonel of
the First Virginia regi' at in the
French aud Indian war number
of items are charged his book
against the Father of Country,
among which may be msR oned one
of s pounds of English money for
drinks furnished by the commissary
to his regiment. 1t does not state the
occasion OH which Washington
"sprung himself" so literally and
this most interesting point must for
ever remain veiled in impenetrable
obscurity. 1t is probable, however,
that it was to make himself solid
with his command, as the young colo
mel was just at the beginning OF his
career and had to lay the foundations
for the future. The account against
him is dated 1853, so that the book is
at least i43 years old, but in spite OF
it's extreme age the writing is said to
be distinct and the book we'll pre-
served.
