The President has nominated another
colored man to be Recorder of Deeds in
the District of Columbia, vice Matthews
rejected. This time it is James Munroe
Trotter. He was a Union soldier and
was promoted for bravery to the office
of lieutenant. He veted for Mr. Cleve
land in 1884.
A teleoram. was received in Jackson
last Monday night stating that "Mr.
Vick Logging, of the firm of Harris,
Logging & Bros., Winona, was killed by
negro, Alex. Crawford, who cut his
throat and then cut him all to pieces.
The murderer escaped. Liberal rewards
will be paid for his capture.
Mrs. Emma H. Balfour, relict of
the late Dr. W. T. Balfour, of Vick
burg, died at Ashville, N. C, the night
of the 24th ult, of pneumonia. Her re
mains were carried to Vicksburg, and
tho funeral took place from Christ
Church, Monday morning. "
The minority report on tht Hoar In
quest bill, prepared by Senator Georgi
and signed by all the Democratic mem'
bers of the Committee on the Judiciary
is a strong plea in favor of limiting Fed
eral legislation to the objects named in
the Constitution, by one of its ablest
and moat conscientious expounders.
Hon. E. Bakksdale was the recipi
ent, en Saturday last, of a substantial
testimonial in the shape of a massive
silver service from the Democrats in
Washington City from the Seventh Con
gressional District of Mississippi. Mr,
J. W. Garrett made the presentation
speech, and Mr. Barksdale replied in
grateful and eloquent terms.
The appointment of the Hon. Lock
E. Houston to be Circuit Judge of the
First Judicial District to succeed the
Hon. J. W. Buchanan, resigned, will be
favorably- received throughout the
State. Au able lawyer of ripe years
and mature judgment, possessing rare
personal characteristics, a better selec
tion could not have been made.
A darino party from Grenada coun
ty, led by Mr. Louis B. Turner, the es
teemed clerk of the Chancery Court,
swooped down upon Hinds county on
the 22d ult., and at Raymond captured
one of our sweetest girls Miss Evelyn
Bummers. The ceremony was performed
at St. Mark's, Bishop Hugh Miller
Thompson, officiating.
If the growers of cotton will persist
In the folly of selling cotton seed in.
stead of nsing them as a fertilizer, any
prospect that the value of the seed will
be increased by competitive purchasers;
should be gratifying. In this connec
tion we observe that Oliver Bros., of
New York, propose to organize a com
pany to build 25 or 30 large mills
throughout the cotton belt, for the pur
pose of fighting the Oil Trust Company.
The Cotton Seed Oil Trust Certifi
cates are not worth as much ntaw as they
were a short time since, Tnrff there has
been a seeming tendency to a still fur
ther decline. To an outsider the influ
ence! at work are not apparent. Who
knows but that the knowing holders of
the certificates having what they now
regard as a sure thing, are themselves
the bears, who, while seeming to unload
re really trying to crowd out the un in
itiated f
V
the 1'imes-Democrat abundantly shows
their deutructiveness:
A tract of 12,000,000 acres of land in
Victoria, half as large as the State of
South Carolina, has been rendered
worthless and uninhabitable by the rab
bits. Settlements where fine homesteads
once existed, where their were orchards
of every kind, have been abandoned
Before the invasion of these rodents. In
this tract, which formerly supported
hundreds of thousands of sheep, the
losses aggregate (4,000,000 in the last
five years; and in the colony of Victoria
alone over $15,000,000. This is only
one colony. The otherB have suffered
fully as severely. In South Australia,
last year, $135,000 was paid for the
destruction of rabbits, (470,000 for
scalps, and $230,000 levied in the dis
trict to be used for the same objects, in
addition to large sums spent by farmers
and ranchmen on their own Holdings;
indeed, the owner of one estate is said
to have expended $120,000 fighting the
rabbits.
What surprises us is that some sur
plus-squanderer does not propose an ap
propriation of some small amount like
$50,000,000 to surround the United
States with a wire netting.
The first Mexican pension under the
recent act granting pensions to the sur
vivors of that war, was issued on Fri
day, February 18. It went to the hero
of Cerro Gordo, ex-Senator Williams, of
Kentucky. His application was filed in
the Commissioners' office at eleven
o'clock on the day named, and the pen-
sion certificate was mailed in the after
noon of the same day.
It is a reflection on the morality of
the timee that a speech in denunciation
of frauds on the ballot-box marks the
speaker as a reformer. Such a speech
was made by Judge Hoadly at Cincin
nati, against the misdoings of Demo
crats at the election in 1885. His
praises are now being sung by the Re
publicans. Why are they not consistent
enough to denounce their own political
villainies?
International 8unday - School Con
vention.
The Fifth International Sunday-school
Convention of the United Slates and
Territories, and British North American
Provinces, will be held in Chicago, June
1, 2, 3, 1887. Each State, Territory and
Province is entitled to one delegate for
every 40,000 of population. A circular,
giving full details, will be mailed to any
address on application to B. F. Jacobs,
Chicago, or J. B. Streater, Black Hawk,
Miss. It is hoped that the Sunday-
school workers of Mississippi will be
duly represented on this interesting oc
casion, wnat nas become oi me state
Sunday-school Convention? Why not
have a meeting just prior to the Inter
national Convention, so that delegates
may be chosen?

Houston, of Aberdeen, was sworn in to-day
as judge of this circuit, vice-Judge J. W.
Buchanan, resigned, and appointed Assist

Note The management of a newspaper
caunot be expected to vouch for the accu
racy of all the information that comes
from correspondent. It is our custom to
publish, when the writers are known to lis,
as in this instance. "J. D." has Been resin
ing in Atlanta for several years, is a close
observer, and we do not believe that he
would misrepresent the facts ot this or ny
other question, or that he would impose
upon our space to state the case other than
as he sees it. But the contrary testimony
of well-known citizens of Allauta, under
thnir nrnnep signatures, will have, and
ought to have, more weight than the state
ments of others not thus fortified.

Progressive as this age is showing itself,
perhaps in no direction does the observer
perceive a wider and higher reaching out
bevond old barriers, than in the education
of its youth. Except in the case of some
individual educator, who, putting his heart
into his work, originated plans for his
own use. but did not formulate his theories

ihe work of "teaching the young idea" ha'l
runs in old grooves for many years. Then
canie Froebel and Peetallozii with the color
and form charts, the books without Words,
ml the xlnhabetof ingenious contrivances
for laying the foundations of knowledge,
and routed from the field the horn-book
and ferule. 8pencer, too, came with his
theories, and practical men aud women,
and scientific men and women, set their
wise heads aud busy hands to work, and
so, from the dust and ashes of the old, has
a beautitul new system oeen evoivea.
With enlarged ideas have come increased
facilities, a higher standard, and greater
enthusiasm.
To one feature of the new departure has
my attention been strongly attracted re
cently, namely, the widening of the range
of general intelligence by means of lectures,
well-chosen readings, aud the observance
of historical anniversaries.

be cited in the celebration of Washington's
Birthday in Miss Watson's school. The
usual routine of work was suspended, and
a programme of exercises looking to a com
plete exposition of the reasons for cele
brating the 22d of February substituted.
It was not a public demonstration, but
strictly a school recognition of the honor
due the day, and each pupil, from the dim
Died darling of seven to the "sweet girl
graduate," had her share in the exercises
of this memorial day. Were it not that I
have already transgressed the limits l nad
assigned to this article, I should give in
full the admirably arranged programme,
which, beginning wtth the patriotic hymn,
"America." comprised in regular sequence
selected readings, original essays, recita
tions, biographical incidents and anecdotes
from the time of Washington's boyhood
and early youth, through his military,
political, social and domestic life to its
close, the whole interspersed with music
in accord with the occasion, teachers and
pupils taking their respective parts with
seal and appreciation. Judge Watson de
livered a short address on "Washington as
a Statesman," presenting tersely and
strongly the salient points in the civil ad
ministration of "our great commander"
which prove him to be also our great
ruler.
If there was an individual present who
did not find when the Washington anni
versary was ended that memory had been
refreshed, information increased, love
and veneration for "the Father of his
Country" kindled into brighter flame, that
individual began the day a wiser person
and a purer patriot than your correspond

On Sunday night last, Mr. B. A. Hanks
of near Cotton Plant, died of hydrophobia,
and from reports, his death was one of the
most horrib.e ever witnessed in Tippah
county. He was bitten by a rabid dig
about the 18th of December last, and
shortly after he went to Marshall couuty
and had a mad stone applied, which we
learn stuck for 48 hours, after which he
felt no uneasiness until Thursday of lat
week, when he began to feel unwell, and
on attempting to drink water was throw
into a convulsion. He gradually grew
worse, and whenever fluid of any kind was,
offered him he was thrown into convul
sions. After suffering several hours before
his death from the most excruciating
effects ot this dreadful disease hydropho
bia he expired Sunday evening about 8
o'clock. Mr. Hanks was a good oitiseu,
and leaves a family and many relatives
to mourn his sad death. Bipley New Era.
Those merchants who are just opening
business would do well to lay in a large
stock- of Arkansas Traveler chewing to
bacco, for they will find a larger demand
for the same than for any other brand now
on the market. Those who have been in
business for any length of time know the
necessity of keeping on hand plenty of
Arkansas Traveler, and act accordingly.
You can't fool people about tobacco. Both
smokers and chewers will have the very
best or do without. No amount of adver
tising will sell a poor brand, but Arkansas
Traveller is advertised by every one using
it, and hence its popularity, which grows
steadily, and will continue to increase so
long as lovers ot the weed preier tne nesv
