CHARACTERISTIC Vacancy.

Meridian, MISS, Oct. 6.-The chan.
cellorship vacancy soon to be made in
Judge Adam Byrd's district when that
official resigns to accept his seat in
Congress is attracting much atten-
tion and no less than q half a dozen
candidates are now in the field. Gov.
ernor Longino is being b,sieged with
letters, petitions and bar recommend
ations forwardedsby the friends OF the
candidates. The latest aspirent in
the :feld is Hon. j. f. McCool, Of
Kosciusko. former speaker Of tho
lower house Of the Legislature, and at
one tirie candidate for Governor.
Other prominent candidates in tho
field are Hon. ". P. sTackctt, of Lex
ipgton, Hon. A. Weiner. Of Durant,
Hon. s. II. Kirkland, off Forest, S.. NJ.
Mock. OF Columbus. .. A. Luokett, of
Kosciuske, and others of equal note
are being frequently mentioned.
Some of the candidates are very
much dissatisfied over the fact that
Chancellor Byrd will not resign i'm
mediateIy after heNovember election,
and seem to think that he ought to
create the vacancy at the earliest pos
sible moment, which he has no inten-
tion of doing. Two other members
of the state Judiciary. District Attor-
neys W. 8. Hill and B. G. Humphreys,
who were nominated for Congress in
August, will not %relinquish their off,
ces until the latter part of February,
and the woods are full of candidates
for their places.

SOMETHING FOR THE "ALL-HoME.
PRINTS TO DIGEST.

In these days Of rapid ST Is CT ad.
vancement in every line Industry.
1t is simply foolishness} the pub.
Usher outside of large ,ts to try to
print his paper all at home, as his
forefathers used to do. when no other
way vas open to them.
The principal and legitimate field
OF the country weekly Is first It's
town. county and state, and then the
outside world. 1t is now possible for
the country publisher 10 secure in
some of the large cities paper partly
printed, which contains the news of
the day from all over the world, as
well as the state news OF his own
state. Owing to superior facilities and
machinery, this central office can sup
ply these partly printed sheets made
up OF the very latest and up-to-date
matter, including telegraphlc news OF
all important events, illustrated arti-
cles on topics which are engaging the
worlds attention, popular m and
letters, and in fact every attraction
that Is calculated to make the country
publisher a ctrong competitor Of the
city paper which becomes his D
nent to IN extent when 1t reaches out
to the country towns for subscribers.
This ready printed paper, while II
does all the above. also gives the pub.
Usher more time to attend to other
matters from which money can be
made. and to neglect which causes q
loss. We refer. for Instance, to Job
printing, collection of bills, securing
new subscribers and advertisers, and
a number Of other important and prof.
liable occupations.
Any publisher who advertises that
he prints his paper all at home is max
Ing a very shallow boast, II he really
does SO, since he cannot give his read
ers nearly as good service as other
wise. If he is making the claim while
using plates to fill out with, he is
disappearing the facts, because the
setting up Of the type to maize tho
plates which he uses is a part of the
printing Of his paper, and the matter
is edited. set in type and ste~reotyped

lies in this state, or any ether state,
which do not use either r~eady-prints
or plates-consequently the really all
home print paper Is out of date-al-
most obsolete-a thing of the past
and surely nothing to boast Of!
Over ten thousand publications in
the United States are at present being
partly printed away from home, and
we are pleased to say that ours is one
CT this number. We have found the
plan a material help in many WAYS.
Our work is half done for us every

the rapid growth of our subscription

its popularity with botn readers and
