viii Lose an Eye.

News came to Water Valley last
week from Chicago that physicians
had found it necessary to remove the
injured eye of J. R. Cahill in order
to say the remaining sound men,
Der. He was injured by a small
piece of steel breaking off from a
lathe at which he was at work in the
shops of the Illinois Central rail-
road there and hitting him in the
optic. He was at once sent to a spe-
cialist in Memphis, but, finding
nothing could be done for him there,
he was sent OF to Chicago. He is
o of the best known young men in
the city and his friends are sorry for
his misfortune.

After Artesian Water.

Vicksburg citizens seem deter
mined to secur artesian water for
their town. There was a meeting
last week to consider ways and
means to accomplish this end. It
was decided to organize at once with
a capital Of 100000, organization to
be effected and work commenced as
soon as $4,000 is subscribed and
paid. The geological surveys show
that it is quite as feasible to get arte-
sian water at Vicksburg as at jack
son or any other locality.

THE Baptist orphanaoe.

At the session of the Mississippi
Baptist Convention held in Yazoo
City a few days since, it was decided
to make a radical change in the gov
eminent of the Baptist orphanage
located in Jackson. The convention
created a board of trustees one-third
of the membership Of which is elect
ed each year, thus giving a new
board every three years. Rules and
regulations were adopted for the
government of the institution on a
business-like basis.

Fishermen's Find.

Some fishermen found floating in
the river last week, near the Blanton
place, in the northern part Of Green
vile, an old-style metallic coffin.
The case was four feet long, and on
removing the lid could be sec the
flesh and bones Of a child, presuma-
bly, about II years old. The coffin
must have caved off into the river
from a cemetery or family burying
ground. From the looks Of the cof-
fin it has been in the ground for
some time.

Landlords Are Wary.

Several landlords and property
owners in Jackson whose property
has recently been occupied by blind
tigers and gambling dens are insert
ing clauses in their new lease which
provide that in case bottles, vessels
or any APPLIANCES suspected Of being
used for blind tiger purposes shall
be found on the premises it is equiv
alent to the termination of the lease.
The landlords are taking this step
as a matter Of self-protection.

Believe, o soul. that thou art placed in
this mysterious and glorious universe.
that God formed thee from His spirit
for no mean purpose, but for a destiny
nobler than thy highest aspirations
have pointed to. Believe in the best
thoughts and ~whisperings that visit thy
heart. If thou dost catch at times some
CLEANS of the d%ivineness of charity. of
the glory of sacrifice, of the grandeur of
faith, of the sky-piercing power of
prayer, like mountain peaks jutting
through fogs, or slopes afar off in the
horizon light. believe in them with
more enthusiasm than in the stupid
dust of the beaten roads. Be-
lieve in them, for they are the mountain
principles and altar-piles of life.-Starr

From ten to fifteen counties will

Not a Drop to Be Had.

The Jackson authorities have sue
cessfully demonstrated that the blind
tigers can be exterminated from a
community if the officers of the law
show the proper persistence in max
ing raids. Sixty days ago no town
in the State was more thoroughly
honeycombed with illicit retailers
than Jackson, but today it is an alb
solute impossibility to buy a drop of
liquor in the city.

An Old Land Warrant.

An interesting case of looting by
the Federal soldiers from Southern
citizens during the civil war has just
come to light in the county of At
tala. The late Gen.. Richard Stokes
of Grenada county, received before
the war a land warrant in payment
of services in the Florida war. As
the warrant was not needed and it
was probably not convenient to place
it on lands that he desired, it was
laid away with other valuable pa
pers, without knowledge of any 9TH
er members of the family, even if
they knew of its existence. During
the war the premises were invaded
by Federal soldiers, the place looted
of many valuable articles and pa
pers, among them this land grant.
Not long since a man living in the
North sent the warrant to an attor-
ney for Endorsement by the benef-
ciary, which disclosed its history and
Mrs. Wiley Sanders, one of the heirs
Of Gen. Stokes, at once proceeded to
its recovery.

Hot Times Ahead.

The closing two weeks Of the
State campaign promise to be the
warmest rel recorded in the politi-
cal history of Mississippi.
Since the incipiency Of the cam
paign there has been a continued
display of high spirit, and deep in
terest has been manifested by the
voters in the chances of their respec-
tive candidates, but what has been
displayed is not a marker compared
with what is to come.
The fortnight preceding the pri-
mary, August 6, will be a continual
clash, according to the opinion of
those who have narrowly watched
the principal contests. 1t is being
whispered about hal the candidates
who are now under the fierce lime
light Of public observation are re-
serving their heaviest ammunition
for the last, and rumblings and re-
verberations that will shake the
State to its uttermost corners are
promised.
Outcroppings Of the heavier clash
to come are even now being mani
tested, and movements executed that
give indications of a battle that will
be memorable in the history of the
commonwealth.
The minor candidates are being
almost lost sight of in the prepara-
tons for the more gigantic strug-
giles, and when election day arrives
it will be found that public interest
is almost wholly absorbed by the
senatorial and gubernatorial fights,
and but little attention paid to the
other contests.
The usual preparations are being
made to get the returns from the
various counties at the earliest pos
sible moment after the votes are
counted, and preliminary dispatches
will be sent giving the first indica-
tons of probable results. Jackson
will of course be headquarters for
the returns, and in addition to the
bulletins which the two telegraph
companies always furnish from
their local offices over the State, the
candidates will have private advices
from their friends and supporters
in the various counties. Every pos
sible effort will be made to ascertain
results as soon as they are reached,
and the night of August 6 promises
to be n OF great excitement at the
capital.
Owing to the unusually large
number of county candidates in
many of the counties it is feared
that the returns will be rather slow
IN arriving, as it will require con-
siderable time for the judges to
count the ballots when from so to
$50 names r on the ticket. Sew
eral counties have over 100 county
candidates in the field, and when
the State and district candidates are
added the ticket will be a very for
midable looking affair.

The Farmer as Exporter.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in
his annual report presents some figures
that show in striking manner how
important the foreign trade is to the
American farmer.
The farmer last year sold abroad
$3l7, 900 900 worth of cotton, $204, 900,
900 worth of grain, $2I3, 0O0, 0ee worth
Of meat and about 500, 0o0, 900 worth Of
products, making a total expectation .Yf
farm products announcing to 1878, 600
900.
The farmer has a greater interest in
the export trade than the manufacturer
for he not only sends abroad mach more
of his goods than the manufactures
does of his, but tho ratio Of exports Of
agricultural products to the whole pro-
duction is much larger than that OF
exported manufactures to the whole
manufactured output, In other words,
the farmer has a much larger stake In
the export trade than fhe manufacturer.
