pointed R. E. Wilbourne, Esq, of Meri-

December term OF the Chsncery Court

conferred upon this brilliant Young son

them than he, and our people are justly
proud of him.

Inhuman

On Friday night last a man and wo'
man visited Wahalak and left on the
front gallery of a negro cabin a white
male child, presumably about three
weeks cid. The old negro inside heard
the wall OF the infant and, thinking il
was his hound pupe, came out to see
what the trouble was, discovering the
little %castaway. Beside the child was q
bottle of milk and a paper containing
instructions as to how to feed the child.
1t Is preeumed that the man watched
until the old darky took up the child,
when the couple walked to this place,
where the man bought a ticket to Msri-
dian and the woman, or rather girl, one
to Shubuta. The railway conductor, on
being interrogated later, stated that as
we'll as he could recollect, the couple
described got on at Meridian.
On Saturday morning the child was
taken charge of by Mrs. j. x. stennis,
and as Mr.. and Mrs. Stennis have no
children they may decide to keep it.
And if 80, the poor little wanderer is in
rare good luck, tor he will be assured
OF a good home and the love and pro-
lection of a whole-souled, generous
hearted mar and woman.
But what OF the parents-what OF
tle man and woman who are response
bic unto God for this child? Presum-
ing that the old darky had not heard
the infants cry, and that this man and
woman had had to hurry off TO hide
their shame-what then? Would they
have left that innocent babe alone on
that doorstep through the bitter hours
of that cold night, to be found, when
the mornings light broke through the
darkness of the eastern horizon, with
the peace that passetn understanding"
impressed on the little countenance ?
What OF these inhuman parents?
Vengeance is mine, / will repay.
saith the Lord" Let US leave their
case with God.
