catarrh palliatives is legion. The effect
of catarrh paIliatives is often imme-

never cure.

kinds. They seem to cure for awhile.

Peruna has become to be so univC

Peruna has become to be so univer-
sally recognized as a specific cure for
catarrh, acute or chronic coughs,
colds, bronchitis, that it is amazing
that any one should continue to suffer
on with such a terrible malady, neg
lecting to take course of treatment
with it. OF course it may be that
some people have not yet come to
know of this great catarrh remedy,
but it is strange that it should be so
after such multitudes have been
cured by it and so many papers have
heralded 1t from one end of the coun-
try to the other. But the news traV-
els faster and faster every month, and
no one can fail to see that the time
is not far distant when Peruna will be
known in every household in the land.

Ex-U. S. Senator NJ. c. Butler of
South Carolina, in a recent letter to

OF the great generals of the Confed-

remain. The most conspicuous figure
among these is Gen. James Longstreet

a survivor of that splendid chivalry
peculiar to our Southern States two
generations ago, Gen. Longstreet is
one of the most unique men of this
age
He is a man Of few words, but when
he does speak his opinions are accept

profound respect, If not reverence. In
commenting upon Peruna, the old gen.
eral made use Of the following Ian
guage;
II can testify to the merits OF Pc

reputation as a catarrh remedy of any
medicine yet devised. James Long

Following a severe attack of la

the head and stomach. All prescribed

using one bottle I became convinced

THE PAYMENT OF POLL
TAX.

49,
IL j. reerritahle. but a fact
nevertheless. that there has hecn
ahd j. still tendency among
many white mea u This c.untry--
aud this comfy doubtless j. no
exception--io to lend aid 10 the
negro ia avoiding the payment Of
polliax. The argument offered
10 their defence Is that the negro
is not permitted 10 exercise the
right Of franchise. This j. n lame
excuse, and would not be offered
il only they would stop tc think
that the money derived from the
poll tax goes TO the public school
and il is the negro who derives
the greatest benefit TO the greatest
number from this tax and pays q
very small proportion thereof, as
will be seen from the delinquent
Inst published annually. We dare
say there are few n any negroes
in this county who pay this tax
from m appreciation Of the bene-
6t derived from the public school
privileges for their children, but
they do so only under compul
sion.
The idea obtained in the minds
Of many whites and practically
all negroes that the law does not
apply with equal force upon the
collection Of the poll tax as npon
other taxes, but this is grave
mistake. The Constitution pro-
yides that "poll taxes shall be 4
lien upon taxable property. "
The Code provides that all taxes
remaining unpaid on December.
18th, shall Immediately be COLI
lected by the collector, by dis
tress and sale Of any personal
property liable therefor. when
sufficient personal property can
not be found the collector shall
ascertain who are indebted to the
person owing the taxes, aud sell
the said indebtedness for pay
mcnt thereof. And the Supreme
Court has decided that the wages
Of laborers is subject to distress
and sale for taxes.
From the above il can be readily
seen that there Is no distinction
between POLAND other taxes inthe
collection Of same. The exemp-
tions are Of course the same, and
tiihcre Is no doubt that a large
percentage of the delinquent
poll tax payers could be com-
PEELED to pay this small tax, If
the proper methods would be
put III force. II this could be
done II would be a Just and salts

CORNER STONE LAYING.

II Is matter to be regretted
that the occasion Of the corner
stone laying Of Wilkinson connty's
new and magnificent court houss
should have been marred as ii wa.
by the inclement weather prevail,
ing on that day. The date hao
been once postponed for the same
reason, hence IL was deemed unwiss
to delay longer, and the ceremo.
nies we're held in a binding dowr
pour of rain, but even this did moi
detraci from the solemnity Of the
occasion, although the number in
attendance wascoinparatively small.
The services were conducted BY
the Grand Lodge of Masons Of
Mississippi, with Mr.. Lee c.
Schloss, acting Grand Master. The
ceremonies were very impressive
and as the corn OF nourishment
was scattered, the wine of refresh
ment sprinkled, and the oil Of Joy
anointed the corner stone, the
blessings OF Almighty God was
pronounced upon the magnificent
structure, and prayer Of thanks
giving offered.
The audience then repaired to the
Opera House where the address of
the occasion was delivered by Hon.
]. Burruss McCehee. OF Laurel
Hill. The address was short bu,
appropriate and suited to the oc.
casion, which will be given to our

This court house when complet-
ed will be one Of the handsomest
in the state, and it will stand for
many generations, as the pride Of
the entire people of the grand old
