In the jefferson ChanceFy Court.


Fayette. Miss, Dec. 70. The
first case to be tried in the regular
session of lchancery court which
convened here Monday was that of
Mrs. r. B. Crider VS.. Morton Helm
Lumber Co. In this case the COM
pIainant seeks to set aside deeds to
about three hundred and fifteen
acres Of land in the eastern part of
jefferson county near Union
Church. which land is now in pos
session Of the lumber company.
The complainant alleges that her
brother entered this land from the
United States government in the
year 1862. and that he has since
died, and that she is mis- heir. The
land has been bought and sold many
times. and it is the object Of the
complainant to have the deeds of
these sales set aside, and to. have
the title vested in her. The COM
plainant is represented By Messrs.
Torrey and Logan Of Fayette, and
the defendant by Mr.. Thomas
Brady Of Brookhaven. The case
was not finished and will be decided

est, candid word is needed most. is
where most men fail 10 give it.
The South needs men like James

It needs men IN the Senate who
will tell the corporation agents to
their very faces what contemplate
Escoundrels they are. It needs men
who will uncover rottenness in high
places and show it to the world.
It needs men to call q knave a

and the field. We do not know

q time like this. when the legisla-
ture must pass upon a question be-
fore its submission to the people,
would it not be wise, for a short
term, to take a man who was be-

were content before to leave the
the race where it was, be uncovered
now and forced into the running,
just to beat Vardaman. Grant
ing to others all credit that is their |
due. what has Vardaman done that
he should be singled out as the one
man who shall not aspire for politi-
cal honors and honorable service at |
the hands Of the white race in Mis-.
sissippi? Has he been SO jealous
Of the pure blood of the South, that
he would keep it always pure, and
is that his offense? Has he seen
the wretched misery Of a drunk
ards home J. has he seen the poverty |
the liquor traffic entails upon the
individual. upon society and State
has he seen the paupers and Grim

heart cried out too loud against

north of the regular Fountain geyser
near Fountain hotel. This new geyser,
which does not appear to affect any of
the others in that vicinity, played to
height of $50 to 200 feet, throwing off
immense quantities of hot water, mud
and steam. The new geyser does not
play regularly as does Old Faithful,
but at short intervals, the eruptions
occurring five, or six hours apart, and
lasting about one hour.
