Uncle John Crawford died on Sunday .evening, January 27th, of pneumonia. Small l5ox is all the talk. Tiie Board of " Aldermen met on Monday and appoint ed a “Board of Health,” who have mqt and ordered a quar antine against tho locality of the disease. Mi. Jim Cason, of Delhi, Louisiana, is here this week, on account ot tire death ot Mr Crawford. The Municipal election will come off Saturday E’eb’y 2d; tlie indications are that H. Moody will be unanimously re-elected Mayor. Boone Cole has declined io run for re-election as Mar shal, and Mr. McRaney and T. J. Bridewell are the can didates. A. J. Ferguson has opened a large new house,which will do a large furnishing business. Senator Guy ton, In his remarks on the free pass question said in sub stance : The bill before the Senate now docs not meet my lull approbation. It is too comprehensive. It includes those who have neither legislative nor judicial powers. Nor is there any clamor or complaint of the peo ple against them. I am not prepared to say that either me judiciary or legislative departments of the State has been corrupted by the use of bee passes, but 1 am prepared to say that the officers of these departments are publicly known to use these pa pers Railroad corporations repre sent consolidated wealth. They re ceive their charters at the hands of the Legislature. These charters way contain grauts detrimental to the interests of tiie people. When the people observe their legislators with tree passes in their pockets,fbey feel, and justly too, that they are in the atitude of litigants before a jury and that the situation is ihc same as if the jurors had received a gift from the hands ol one of the litigants.— Perhaps if it were known that ju rors iiad received a gift by courtesy or otherwise, it would be sufficient cause io set aside tiie verdict. The same principle applies to the judi cial department of the Male. The people feel that they labor under sufficient disadvantages when they' are brought into court to contend with such consolidated, wealth as is represented in railroad corporations, but they feel stiil worse prejudice when their judges have in their pocket a free pass from the very company with which they are con tending against. Whether this cus tom of the officials of these depart ments using free busses is corrupting or not, it strikes me tiiat statesman ship woHld dictate that any legida tiou that inspires the people, with confidence, should meet wish the ap proval of the Senate, and while tiie pending bill does not meet my ap proval, I shall vote for it uulcss I can secure a better one. Columbus Dispatch: Aflat boat laden with 337 bales of cotton for Columbus, was sunk a day or two ago, about 30 miles by water, south of Fulton. The Niobrara left last night to bring it down. None of it was lost. A Starkville dispatch to the Vicksburg Herald says : James Scot),living about nine miles west of this place,while trying to get here night before last, became so cold that he froze to death about one mile from town. It had been lain ing a cold rain all day, and in the night turned to freezing and snowing, and it is sup posed he was seized with a chill, from which he never re covered. His mind lias been considered rather demented for severral years. He is of a respectable family and his sad death is regretted by the community. ---- List of Letters Advertised tor wee*1 ending, Jan, 26,1883- Francis Belle, Wesley Browne, Wm Basket.

Mr. Carlisle’s committee on elections are distinguishing themselves by Iherr hostility to Southern Democrats. It was only the other day that they decided that Ml. Mun ning of Mississippi, did not have a prim facie title to his seat, although he held the certificate of the Governoi of Mississippi. To-day they had a similar prima facie case from Virginia, and they promptly reversed their own rule in order to seat the lie adjuster one Mayo, who was awarded a certificate by tbe Mahone Returning Board under circunistancos at po culiar infamy.—Washington Special, Nuw Orleans Pica yune. We don’t know anything about the Virginia case. But as far as the action of Ml. Carlisle’s committee is con cerned in theOhalmers-Man ning case, we think that its decision— that Manning did not have a prima facte right to tbe seat—eminently cot rect. No paper in this State has fought that political recalci trant, J. It. Chalmers, hard er than Tue New Mississippi* an. But the Devxl should have his dues. Manning is no more entitled to a seat in Congress on that false aud fraudulent certificate manu faotured in the Secretary of State’s office, than the Khed• ive of Egypt. If the Democracy of the 2d district were really bnll-doz ed by the few littlo pitiful United States Marshals and Inspectors, to such an extent that they were afraid to vote for Planning—or it it can be proven that Chalmer’s elec* tion was procured by the Hub bell corruption fund—then if this be proved and admitted, Chalmers should not bo ah lowed the sear. But to seat Manning on that ‘flyblowed’ certificate, based upon the throwing out of Chalmer’s Tate county vote, thereby disfranchising some fifteen hundred electors —would be an outrage,which we don’t believe the Deine cratic Majority in Congress capable of perpetrating. Nine tenths of the Democratic press of the State denounced the infamy at the time, and the people—the honest, toil ing massess—are a unit in their condemnation of it now! If Major Barksdale, our immediate Representative in Congiess, and his colleagues will respect the wishes of their constituents, they will, as soon as the case comes in to the House, defend the lair name of Mississippi, by repu diating on behalf of the peo ple of this Commonwealth that ‘flyblowed' certificate, and the manner of its issu ance. They should lose no time in repelling the charge that the Democracy of Mississip pi—the great masses of the people— uphold the shameful act of the ‘certificate makers.’ —Jackson Mississippiau of Jan. 25th. --— The Death Of Shall Yerger. Col. Alex- Yerger, of Boli* var county, arrived in this city this morning, bringing with liitn for inteunent the remains of his nephew Mr. Shall Yerger. Mr. Shall Yer* ger was the fourth son of Mrs. Malvina H Yerger and the late Judge William Yerger. He died in Bolivar county on Thursday last, of chronic gas tritis. Mr. Yergei had for years been practically an in* valid, and had only succeed ed in lengthing his diys to their brief span by great care and watchfulness.

From “The Times.” Edi or Times:—Seeing an article in you/ paper lust week from At nold Parker, I was impressed with the earnestness with which he appeals to you to continue to enlighten the world in regard to the means by which he was so miraculously cured of rheumatism and hip joint lameness by using Kendall’s Spavin Cure.— The article to which he alludes by Dr Bates, impressed me so favorably with the I’eal merits of this remedy that I tried it also for several blem ishes on my horses and found it the most perfect cure I ever tried for spavins and other blemishes, as it completely removes the enlargement in every instance by continuing its use for several days after the lame ness has subsided. The perfect suc cess I have always had with Ken dall’s Spavin Cure led me to use it on my own person, and for all the family with the very best resuits as a family liniment. While several of the cures made by it have been al most miraculous, none have beeu more satisfactory than several cures which I made with it of foot rot and also sore teats as well os warts on teats of cows. 1 consider it a sure cure for sore teats or foot rot in ei ther cows or sheep. With the sat infliction this remedy has always given in every instance, I cannot re frain asking with my friend Parker that you continue to make known to the world this, the greatest discove ry of the nineteenth century. Yours truly, James A. Campbell, Herkimer, N Y, Sept-10, 1881. The above letter, with one pub lished last week, encourages us in our efforts to make our paper one of the most valuable journals in the country and to all our pations. and we now ask others of our readers who have been alike benefittid by the letter published one year ago fiom Dr Bates, that they send u-< for publication, statements which they may wish to make for the benefit of others.—Ed.

The subject ot this notice was a nativeof East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, and was born June 3d, 1S27. Here he was reared and resided for many years. He was thrice married—to Miss Sarah K. Hazleton Feb’y 11,1848, who was his help meet for only four or five years. Septem ber 19th, 1S54, he was again united in marriago with Mrs. Mary L. Robbins,who cheer*, ed and blessed his home for many years. But this tie.hal lowed by the gifts and graeesi of Christian womanhood, was at last sundered,aud his heart and home made desolate. His third marriage union was con summated with Miss Lucy A. Holmes, July 25th, 1869,who with one son survives him Mr. Rogers was a planter during uis residence in Lou isiana, and in addition to the duties of the farm he filled for many years the offices of Jus tioe of the Peace and Notary Public. During the civil war he^held tlie. office of Commis sary in the command of Gen, Richard Taylor, In all these positions he sustained there* putation of an efficient and upright officer. In March, 1869, Mr. R. removed to Ha zlehurst, Miss., and engaged in mercantile business, a vo cation he pursued till the close of life. In early life he connected himself with the Baptist church, and lived a zealous member of the same unii! about the year 1854,when,for satisfactory roasuns,he united with the Presbyterian church. While a resident of Louisiana ho was elected to the office of Ruling Elder in the church, and in 1873 he was called to serve in this same office in the Hazlehurst Presbyterian church, which he held till the Lord severed his relations with the church militant. As a member and officer of the church he always manifested interest and zeal in its affairs. He contributed liberally of his means to its support, and attended regularly and faith fully upon its ordinances. He was Superintendent of the Sunday School lor five years, and was a devoted and sue* cessful officer. By his request two favorite Sunday School songs, “I need Thee every hour,” and “The Land of Beulah,” were sung at his fu neral. Ho represented the Mississippi Presbytery in the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church of 1S76 at Savannah, Georgia. His life was chequered with events both prosperous and adverse, especially the latter. He lived to see two wives and six children buried out of his sight. He sustained severe business reverses during the closing years of his life. These trying afflictions and losses he sustained with great, cour age,fortitudo,and submission. His last illness was protrac ted and severe. Ten months prim to his decease, he lost the use of his voice, and from this period the insidious dis« ease which caused his death, gradually sapped the founda tions of life, until death came to his relief. On the 15th of January, 1884, at G p. m. be breathed his last, in the full assuiance of heavenly bliss. He conversed much with his Pastor nnd friends about his disease, and leit indubitable evidence of his acceptance in Christ and full preparation for the great change. He spoke of his own short-coni* ings and unworthiness, and exalted the righteousness of Christ as the only ground of his faith aud hope. Several times his joy became ecstatic, his soal seemed completely safFused with heavenly bliss, and he was evidently granted foretaste of the redeemed in glory. He called his beloved j I . 1 1 .J.L _.I'-i1 companion and only child to his bedside, and with his dy ing lips commended them to the grace of oar covenant God. Thus has passed away from earth a maif of a cordial, genetous heart; of affable,ge nial manners; given to hospi tality; devoted to the weltaro of his family; trusting in tho merits of Christ tor salvation. He will bo missed tn tlie va*. rious circles ot life in which he moved. May tho God of the widow and the orphan, protect and b'ess his boreavod companion and the fatheiless one. Pastor. Lilly Irene, Daughtei of Air. and Mrs. K. \V. Hall,departed this life Jan’y Kith, 1881, of conges tion, aged 7 years, 7 months, and 4 days. When the Grim Monster Death enters the happy house hold and bears away the old, we scarce can murmur, so natural ii seems that the aged should lie down and die; but when a little darling child who lias the promise of many days, and to whom parents look foi future happiness, is called away, then indeed how hardly do our hearts submit to the hand of Providence ; ‘hen how hard we find it to say, “Thy will be done.” Yet oh! what great consolation you4- little darling, has left you all, kind parents, sisters and brothers! for little Lily possessed a sweet affectionate disposition,and all who knew her loved her. Only remem ber the beautiful little face and form as you last beheld it! Her name was well cho sen, lor she was indeed a lit tle Lily, and has been beck oned away to that Eternal paradise where she will blcnni never more to fade or wither away. Lrttle Lily loved her Saviour, We all know by her behavior, When ai home, or when abroad She was modest and sweet to all. Like the stars of the morning Her bright smiles adorning, They shall smile in all their beauty, In our blessed Saviour’s duty. The last words we heard her speak, ( Vlihough she did not seem so weak:) 1 him going to die, and go to heaven, Wo could only say,Goodbye darling. A Friend. Ila/.lehurst Hotel.
