PASSING OF A LANDMARK

vicksburg Herald
The Woodville Republican pub
fishes the proceedings of public
meeting, which resulted in re-
solution calling on the board of
supervisors to build "a new fire
proof, modern, up-to- date, court
house, roomy and sufficient to ac-
commodate the public needs" To
some of the living who link the
present with the past, the razing
of the old building will be a more
impressive event than the raising
of the new. For with this demoli-
ton there passes another land mark
of the vanished South, so soon to
survive alone Gin song and story"
The new court house will far sur
pass the ante bellum structure in
appearance, finish and equipment.
But when will twill it ever
store such memories. Will it evei
echo such thrills of eloqvence and
patriotic appeal-such responses O.
devoted plaudits2 1t is true thai
brave men were living before
Agamemnon, and in all ages since
But as zone generation passetf
away and another generation com
eth," the imprint of changed envi
ronments is taken on. And we nov
look back from time of stern real
tiles to one tinged with the halo O
chivalry and romance-from thu
captains of industry" to men whC
were the foremost of their times il
the political and intellectual arena
To pay tribute to thedeparted glory
OF the setting sun is not to reiec
on the refulgent rays of the rising
luninary. Under such emotion,
do we refer to the passing landmark
and drop into poetry:
1.-THE tramp Of many busy foot
That trod thy aiSles is DER,
And many weary heart around
Is still forevcrmore.
The sun that shOne upon their paths
Now gilds their lonely graves,
The zephyrs which once famed theil
brow,
The grass above them waves,
Oh! could we call the many back,
Who've gathered here in vain
Who've careless royed where we de
now
Who'll never meet again!
How would our very hearts be stirred
To meet the earthly gaze
OF the brilliant and the beautiful
The lights of other days"

we mention the fact that, in the
event of the erection Of an oil
mill, the buildings and machine
ry of the Woodville Gin Company
could be bought aud used advan-
tageously, for certainly the loca-
ton is the best to be had in the
town. 1t appears that after much
agitation our water>works and
electric light system viii be in
stalled. and the latter, especially,
could be run in conjunction with
the oil mill, with very little addi-
tional power, as is now done in
the town of Fayette, and other
places. Lets hear from Others
on this subject.
The other enterprises suggested
by our nom de plume willrecelve
notice in future issues, manly the
wood factory, ice factory and the
steam laundry, which are all bad
ly needed.

WATSON-SAMUEL.

Yesterday afternoon a party comS
posed of Mr.. Will z. Watson and
several friends we're passenge aboard
the steamer Cape City journeylng to
Vidalia. There thev were met by ans
other party composed of Miss Iris E.
Samuel and friends. The object of
the trip was the happiest event Of
these two estlmable young peoples
lives. When the Vidalia side was
reached the two parties joined aud at
the Office of Clerk Campbell Miss
Samuel and Mr.. Watson we're declared
husband and wife bringing to a close
happy and romatic courtship.
Mr.. Watson, the groom, is most
valued employee of this paper He is
young man who is held In high
esteem as man of excellent traits OF
character and, there probably is
none who knows better than the
writer Of this article the groom and
we believe him to be young man
who well deserves the lovely bride he
claimed on yesterday.
The bride, Miss Samuel, is one of
the most charming young ladies of this
city noted for the lovely maidens,
who are residents of it,. She is a true
type Of charming Southern womanN
hood and has scores OF friends to whom
the wedding of yesterday will be a
surprise still most happy one.
This paper every member of the
force, from the editor to the Office
boy, extends to the couple wishes for
happiness, prosperity and blessings
in multi numbers and it is extended
in terms Of the most earnest and
heartfelt-Natchez Bulletin.
We wish Will and his bride much

BE UP AND DOING.

The suggestions made in the
communication from "M. S." APP
pearing in this issue cannot fail
to present themselves with equal
clearness and practlcability to all
who are interested in the future
of the county, aud especially those
residing in and near Woodville.
No definite plan of action is set
forth, as he (the correspondent
explains, leaving selection of the
enterprise, and facts and figures
as TO its installation to the future.
There can be no doubt that the
adoption of one or all of the sug-
gestions, if put into operation,
would add much to the prosperity
of this neighborhood, but the one
that strikes us the most forcibly
Is one that has been agitated by
the REPUBLICAN, at intervals, for
several years, but it has never
taken any definite form-that is
the oil mill. The advantages re-
sultant to its erection are set forth
by our correspondent, all of which
are based upon the experience of
oil properly managed mills, and
we lay stress upon those property
managed. There has been some
Oil-milI "talk" here of late but it
will end here, unless some united
effort is made to push it forward.
The failure of the cotton factory
TO materialize last year and the
falling through of other enter
prises has tended to convert our
people into pessimists as to the
SUCCESS of any movement inaugu-
rated. and this feeling must nee
essarlly be overcome before we
can expect good to result from
any action on the part of those
now interested IN the upbuilding
OF the town. The erection of the
new Court house aud the bank
building is calculated to put new
life into the people, and as Sen
terprise begets enterprise" we
may reasonably view this as the
dawn of brighter day, wherein
those who are alive to their own
welfare will grasp the opportuni-
ty to better their own conditions,
hence that of the town.
We are not well up as to the
cost, ETC., of an oil mill, but in
future will furnish same for the
information Of readers, which
we viii get from those experience
ed IL such enterprises. Just here

FREEDOn the tHOOLMASTER.

NNhAN'ifts
The Kansas City journal, repub-
ican, takes issue with a statement
made by Senator Carmack. Senator
Carmack said,
Freedom is the only sehoolmaster
that can teach the lesson of freedom.
No people ever learned self-govern-
ment under tutor. No people ever
learned to govern themselves by be-
ing held in subsection by higher
and stronger power. The idea that
you are going to transform the char
aeter Of a whole people by teaching
them to read English, by setting up
a carpetbag government for them to
look at and pay taxes to; the idea
that you can teach them to govern
themselves by making them bear the
burdens Of a foreign government, is
the widest, the craziest, the most
fantastic dream that ever fitted
through lunatics brain.
Even while taking issue with SEN
ator Carmack, the Journal confuses
itself when it says:
Example has ever been the great
est civilizing force known to human
ity- Ii liberal forms Of government
are extant upon the earth it is be-
cause the people of one region seek
for and adopt the methods found
successful by their neighbors.
If example has ever been the
greatest eivilizing force known to
humanity, why do we substi-
tute conquest for example?
If liberal forms of government ex-
ist because people seek for and adopt
the methods found successful by
their neighbors, will any people be

The killing If 600 Augora goats
near Grand Junction last SATURDAY
and recent conflicts between sheep
and cattlemen m Wyoming bring
hen.e TO us che iaet that sheepmen
are working steady aud perslstaHt
inroads upon the cattle ranges and
that sooner or later il sill be- up to
ranchmen Of Gunnison county.
The reason for this i found w
two facts. First the immense profit
which can be made IN sheep by skin
ming ranges. Second the fact that
the sheep ranges are getting about
useless even for such stock and it will
be twenty years before they recover.
The NEws-CHAMrIOS does not adj
y0cate violence of any sort, bat rises
TO remark that It Is simply qaes-
tlon Of the life and death Of the cat
tie industry IN Gunnisou county.
Either the sheep will be kept out or
300 prosperous ranehmen will have
to go out Of business. There doesn t
appear to be any middle ground.
To these three hundred ranchmen
and their families is largely due the
prosperity of Gunnison and sur
rounding towns. Sheepmen would
bring no oompenssting advantage
and would make desert Of the
ranges. Ga the whole we should
keep our eyes open. 1t will be no
time to lock the stable after the
horse Is stolen.
