THEY DON'T KNOW,
Who Does?

The editor ought to be a most
happy man, but some of his fel-
low.citizens seem perturbed about
the vote that he received in the
special election for County Pros
ecuting Attorney. Some of them
never supported the writer in
their lives for any political pre-
ferment nor in the least sympa-
thized with him in any lauda6le
ambition. Of these things
he has no grievances or CON-
plants, nor has any right to. TO
these gantIemen he would say
that had they given him whole
some and friendly counsel, mani
tested and real interest IL would
have surely impressed him with
the emblance of sincerity.

Several weeks ago, egotist. in
the Mighty East Mississippi
Times, signing himself. A Voter.
in substance declared that the
course the votes took on the 3rd
of November for the County At
torney, was 1t seemed unsatls-
factory to the writer and, as 1t
seemed to him, reflected upon
the gentlemen who conducted
the election. No such an i'm
preston could have found lodge
ment in the mind of any other
than this lmperialist-A Vo;er.
Had a voter been honest and fair
lin giving the entire votes, it
lwould have shown that he had
mo malice towards anyone. 1t
twas never charged that the re-
turns had been suppressed or
any corruption practiced in con
cealing them. The News as a
Nnatter of news desired 10 pub
.lish the vote tor the benefit of
Its readers and others. The
editor of the News, called upon
the Circuit Clerk of the county.
who on virtue of his Office, IS
clerk of the Election commls-
sioners OF Oktibbeha County. A
certified copy of the returns OF
the election snould have been in
his possession. It was not there,
and not there when he made in

Mistakes will happen. for only
last week, the Secretary of State
filled out the Commission for
County Prosecuting Attorney in
the name of Mr.. John B. Perkins
one of the candidates for the
same office. Of course the mis-
take was corrected and the chan
cery clerk returned commissions
and one made to the rightful and
successful candidate, Hon. b.
Frank Bell.
These persons that have volun-
teered their advice. they don't
know-it all. One suggested
that it would be meet and proper
thing to do was to bring out a
particular gentleman for cer-
tain Office and advocate his
claims with all the assiduity of
the strength of the paper. the
suggestion was great. The i'm
piled compliment was recalved
with much satisfaction; there is
nothing like truth, for it makes
q profound impression. Anoth-

which were previously unknown to science were
examined and thirty boxes Of skulls and
other material for future study were collected for

Of the antiquity of man in Peru, but tended to
