A MISSISSIPPI NURSERY.

The Record office has this week
completed job of printing 1000
26 page catalogues for the Newton
Nurseries, owned by j. X. Woodham,
aud situated two miles southwest of
town. Twelve years ago Mr.. Wood
ham began the nursery business ON a
small scale, and by diligent and
painstaking labor has built up a
first-class business, and now has 49,
600 or more plants, trees, vines, ETC.,
and is increasing the stock every sea-
son. For the first six or eight years
the receipts did not pay expenses, but
with undaunted courage and deter
mination to succeed, Mr.. Woodham has
toiled early aud late, and is now reap
ing reward for his labors. He de-
serves credit for the success he has at
tanned, aud the Record takes pleasure
in commenting him as being one of
the county's best citizens and worthy
the confidence and esteem of everyone.
Those wishing fruit trees, plants, ETC.,
will make no mistake by giving him
their patronage. Mention Record.
The editor Of THE LEADER knew
Jim" Woodham when he (the EDITOR

SHORTAGE IN FRANKLIN
COUNTY TREASURY.

Following upon the heels of the
shortage of Franklin county funds re
Gently paid up by the bondsmen of ex-
County Treasurer J. W. Oliver, who
was robbed of his funds by safe blow
ers three years ago, has come a most
regretable problem again to be solved,
this time between Sheriff and Tax
Collector PROXY and County Treasurer
DR.. d. p. Butler, both of whom have
stood in the highest esteem and conf
dence of the people of their section and
elsewhere. The Franklin Advocate
says:
1.-The amount involved in round
numbers is 5000, representing the col
lection of poll taxes for the month of
December. This the county treasurer
claims was not paid over to him by
the tax collector in the settlement,
which was made on the 9Th day of Jan
uary last. The treasurer's statement
of the matter is, that the settlement,
which included various county funds
of various amounts, making a total of
between $1,000 and $4,000, was counted
over to him in lump, including silver,
currency and county script. A tally
sheet, or rather blotter account, was
made in pencil at the time by Mr.. T,
NJ. Pickett who was assisting in the
settlement. Afterwards the treasurer
signed five receipts to the tax col
lector covering all the funds and
the entire settlement, put the money
away, took his books and papers and
went home where he placed them
away thinking everything was correct,
until recent overhauling of the mat
ter disclosed shortage in his accounts
of the amount named. He claims that
footing up of the blotter kept by
Mr.. Pickett on the day of the settle
ment, shows the exact amount of four
of the funds, and is short of what the
full settlement should have been by
exactly the amount of the poll tax
funds, 203.S4.
Sheriff PROXY states that he is pos
| tive that the settlement was correctly
made, and that the entire amount of
all the funds was correctly counted
and turned over to the treasurer for
which he holds his receipts of even
date. He had Mr.. Hiram Magee assist
ing him in the count, who substan-
tiates in detail his statement.

In the Interest Of the Farmer

Prof. w. c. Welborn, Of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College, di-
rector of the farmers Institutes for
the State, was in the city awhile today
on business. He says, in common with
other farmers of the State, he is feel
ing quite blue over the crop lookout,
on account of high priced feedstufs,
supplies, etc, and the recent disas-
trous floods. He says the farmers are
too busy to attend Institutes now, and
this work will be prosecuted more in
summer. 1t is also quite probable that
good many institutes will hereafter
be held in winter, just before the start
ing Of the new crops. Heretofore, no
one from the college or station was
available, except during vacation. In
the oithern and eastern States, most
of the institutes are held during winter
The legislature made better provision
for farmers institutes than heretofore,
and it is expected that more of them
can be held and made more interesting
than formerly. President Hardy, who
is quite enthusiastic in his effort to
bring the college instruction, in some
measure, to the great mass of farmers,
is planning for summer school for
teachers, farmers, mechanics, etc, at
the close of which IA three days State
institute will be held. Lectures of
note will be secured from abroad, rail
road rates will be secured, and every
effort made to make this big occa-
sion.-Picayune Bureau.

Had Passed the "PrcviouS
Question.

II am reminded" said District At
torney jerome the other day, "of a
story old Senator Neasmith, of Oregon,
one of the first settlers of that State,
used to tell. At the time when Oregon
was admitted as a State, and the first
legislature of the State met, Neasmith,
who was member, possessed himself
of copy of a book on parliamentary
procedure. This work, which was at
the time probably the only one of its
sort west of the Mississippi, he stud
led diligently, and by the time of the
first session was we'll up in the rules
of debate.
"At the first meeting of the new leg
islature motion was introduced and
speedily carried, but on the second
measure dispute arose, and for three
days the State legislators wrangled
and debated.
"Finally, on the third day, Meas
NTH, who had watched the proceed
lngs without even opening his mouth,
decided it was time to use piece of
his parliamentary procedure, so he
rose and moved the previous question:
"There was moment of silence fol
lowing this motion, and then amid a
shout of derision the speaker cried:
sit down, you fool! We passed
the previous question three days ago.

4 NOTABLE INCIDENT.

The Clarion-Ledger recalls a notable
incident which once occurred in the
life of the late Rev. DIR. J. W. Harmon,
the close of whose earthly career is
lamented by all who knew this emf
nent divine and are capable of appre-
ciating true manhood and worth:
DR.. Harmon held rank for many
years as one of the foremost divines in
the South, and on more than one oc-
casion he was an active factor in shap-
ing history in this commonwealth.
The incident referred to occurred
during the civil war, while he was
stationed as minister of the Methodist
church at Macon.
The Federal forces had driven the
legislature out of jackson and the law
makers had taken refuge at Macon and
again opened up proceedings.
Word reached the legislature that
Gen. Lees forces in Virginia we're
being hard pressed, and in order to
relieve him bill was introduced fore
ing all preachers under the age of
sixty years into the ranks of the army
measure that would have completely
disrupted the organization of the
church in the commonwealth.
Hon. Lock Houston was then speak
er of the lower house, and on the morn
ing the army bill was to come up for
final vote he had invited DR.. Harmon
to open the legislature with prayer
The latter had heard of the measure
and the fact that it would probably go
through without dissenting vote, and
he thus appealed the matter to the
Throne of Grace:
80, Thou, great God of the World
and Sovereign Judge of all Beings, as
we are dependent upon Thine Omnip-
otence for the breath we breathe, the
bread we eat, and the water we drink
and as Thou hast redeemed us, calling
us Thy word and ministry, we are IN
der the highest obligations to recog-
nize Thine authority.
1--WE pray, therefore, for the mem
bers of this Mississippi legislature, for
they have laid violent hands upon the
ordained ministry of Thy church
thrusting them out into the field of
carnage, and bidding them go forth as
messengers of wrath and blood, in
stead of messengers of peace and good
will
80, thou God of Justice, for this
wicked act of legislation which stands
out in its gloomy isolation without a
parallel in the world, we invoke Thy
pardoning power.
so, Lord God, let not this wicked
legislation fall with terrible disaster
upon the heads of our people, but may
just sense of our relation to God
cause a reversal of this monstrous
legislation.
Great God, we leave ourselves un-
der Thy protection, and let not Thy
mercy depart from our people. Amen
The prayer produced excitement and
CONSERVATION on the floor of the house,
and for awhile it looked as though the
preacher would be brought before the
speaker for censure. While the eX-
element was in progress, however,
Col. McLemore, a well-known member,
rushed across the floor to where Col.
Alcorn, who had charge of the army
bill, was sitting. He said:
"Alcorn, take those preachers out of
the army bill, | wouldn't have another
such prayer over my head for all the
preachers from Maine to California"
An amendment was inserted in the
bill eXempting preachers from any
service.

THE OPTIMIST.

When the world seems dark and dreary,
Stern and cold;
And the days are long, and weary
Cares unfold;
Keep your mind upon the morrow;
Care and trouble never borrow;
Sing Of hope, and not of sorrow,
Brave and bold.
Set to work with cheerful smiling
Ev'ry day;
Sing glad songs to b. beguiling
Hours away.
Life is always what you make it;
Joy is yours If you will take 1t;
Grasp the tree of hope and shake it,
And be gay.
Waste not golden hours in grieying
For the past.
Up and on. the dead past leaving
Travel fast!
Struggle on with strong endeavor;
Bid farewell to blues forever;
ShacK'es forged by failure sever.
From your cast.
Rouse yourself. Be up and doing
While you may.
Opportunity pursuing
Day by day.
Back OF each dark cloud is shining
joys eternal silver lining;
In your heart sweet hope enshrining.
Work away.
To your task your best work giving
Day by day,
Life will well be worth the living
All the way.
Waste not time in idle weeping;
Sowing must precede the reaping;
Put your fate in Gods safe keeping
