Congressman Edward Cooper. OF the
Fifth district, has not yet received hi
certificate of election from GOvcrn0.
Hatfield. and is the only member 6,
the delegation In congress who has
not. The reason for the delay in his
case is pending litigation in thu
courts over the vote cast in Il pre-
cinct in Wyoming county where the
ballot box disappeared and the the bal,
lots destroyed, but not until the bal
lots had been counted and certified
at the voting place and in triplicate
form. The sheItiallty of Wyoming
county is the stake being played fol-
by the litigants. The precinct In ques.
ton is classed strong Democratic
one, but Mr.. Cooper swung It with
one majority over his opponent, Mr..
Wiles.
The Fifth districts vote, as collect.
ed personally by Mr.. Cooper and veri,
fed by him, shows that he carried the
district by 1863 majority. He was high
man IN the district on his ticket. which
is considered by his friends and adj
mirers a splendid tribute to him. He
carried Mercer by 1856; Mcdowell by
3477; Wyoming by AIS; Lincoln by
35-a total of 44l2 votes.
Wiles, his opponent, carried Mingo

Tells Editor Why He Gets Good.
From a Mail Order House.

Recently a merchant of Natchez
happened 10 see a farmer receive a
box at the depot, and noticed that it
was from a mail order house. He
ako noticed that the goods were
right in his line, ard the same that
he carried for years. He Immediate
iy approached the farmer and said:
II could have sold you the goods
you have here for less money than
the Chicago house and saved you the
freight"
Then why didn't you do so?"
Il nave taken the local paper a year
have not seen a line about you
selling these or any other goods.
This mail order house sends adver-
tislng matter to me asking for nv
trade, and gets it. If you have any
bargains, why don't you put them
IN the paper so we can see what they
are?"-Natchez Democrat.

LOVES

They sin who tell us love can die!
With life all other passions fly;
All others are but vanity.
In Heaven ambition cannot dwell.
No avarice in the vaults of hell;
Earthly these passions, as of earth.
They perish where they have their
birth;
But love is i~ndestructible.
It's holy flame forever burneth,
From Heaven it came. to Heaven re-
turneth;
Fol- oft on earth a troubled guest,
At times deceived, at times oppress-
ed,
1t here is tried and purified.
And hath in Heaven its perfect rest.
1t soweth here with toll and care,
But the harvest-time of Love is there
Oh! when a mother meets on high
The babe she lost in infancy,
Hath she not then, for pains and
fears,
The day of woe, the anxious night.
For all her sorrows. all her tears,
An overpayment Of delight?
