The CropR—Heir. E. A. Taylor's Lecture —II. O. Money, Etc. Graysport Miss., Aug. 9, 1882: Editor Sentinel: As you solicit and publish reports of crops and other news and from the v irious centres of the great and prosperous county of Grenada, I take the liberty of saying a few words about this quiet centre and its surround ings. Graysport has existed near half a century; it is situated on the fertile banks of the turbid Yalobusha, some twelve or fifteen miles (I hardly know which) east of Grenada, and was at one time, I believe, considered the bead of navigation for that effete and ponderous craft known us the keel boat. Through all these long years we have existed and still existjWeliave had our ups and downs, our shadows and sunshine, our losses by Hood, fire and storm, but Graysport still remains the centre of trade from a flour ishing country and a prosperous people in the main. Our crop) prospects were never more promising, especially corn, peas, pota toes, sorghum, millet, etc. The fight an unequal one at the commence ment of the croj) year, owing to the scar city of supplies for man and beast, but with a determined purpose and favora ble seasons the farmer has triumphed and at this time able to realize bis cher ished hopes:-—an abundant crop for man and beast. There are various opinions about the cotton crop. My own observations assure me that the forward planting is good while the later planting has good weed and plenty of forms, there is danger of disaster from worms and early frosts. Fodder pulling is on hand and also our colored protracted meetings. You can guess which will receive the closest at tention. There is one thing that makes us sad, the scarcity of hogs; for with n fine mast and plenty of corn besides, we could eas ily make our own bacon. We had the pleasure last Thursday night of listening to a very interesting and instructive lecture, delivered by Rev. K. A. Taylor, of Grenada. Subject, his Eastern tour and visit to the Holy Land. The lecture was delivered in the church, and notwithstanding the dark ness of the night many c.-.me from a dis tance in the country, which with a gen eral turn out of the town, gave him a good audience. For one hour and a quarter his audience gave him the most respectful attention as he recited in a graphic manner his visit to Jerusalem and other places made memorable and sacred to the whole Christian world, grew eloquent over scenes enacted centuries ago, and an he stood upon the very spot where many important events transpired no wonder that his heart would thrill and his tongue become eloquent over the scenes enacted. They left their impress upon future generations, and Still mould ter and shape the destinies of men. The whole audience will join me in returning thanks to the gifted lecturer for the pleasant and profitable entertain ment. w. the chat I cm ■ every word you suy about Hernando I).

Yalobusha County, August l(i, 1882 . En. Sentinel:— Since our last article, nothing lias oc curred to vary the monotony of exis tence around our little village, and real ly, was it not for an occasional fist-fight or barbecue, all would move gently, se renely along as if there was only one side of life—"the sunny side." Crops are looking unusually well—the corn crop being already matured, and cotton continuing to grow majestically tall, with long, waving branches hanging low with the weight of innumerable bolls precious bolls''—causing many a poor farmer's lips to open wide as smiles of graphic sweetness play over his brawny countenance—at the bright, promising prospects ahead. Worms are reported to be below ns, but we hardly expect any trouble in our immediate neighborhood from any such cause, and look for an immense yield of other crops beside cotton. Indeed, this has been a remarkable year. We have been blessed with refreshing showers whenever need ed, and he who calls himself farmer,and makes no crop this year,is unworthy the name. All are highly elated at the suit of our work, and already anticipate the pleasure of having our names erased from your roll of "delinquents," and an other year's perusal of your valuable and newsy paper without being forced to part with a few "old pins," (all wo have) in default. ri Tho mass meeting of citizens, irrespec tive of race and color, held in the City Hall of Coffeeville on last Saturday, was a completo success. The conduct of Sir. Money, as our representative in Con gross, was commented upon extensively We antic ami triumphantly endorsed, ipated a lively time several du.vs before hand, hut as Mr. White kindly with drew from the race, at the same time inviting his many warm friends to fol low him with "Money armour girded tightly on," our delegates to the Con gressional Convention, at Macon,in .Sep tember, were instructed to vote for Money first, last and all the time, after which the meeting adjourned nine die. And doubtless there was not one single man who left the hall who didn't feel within him the great hut strange convic tion that Money, at the next Congres sional election, will be elected over any opponent foolish enough to array him self against him with such an overwhelm ing majority as was never dreamed ol before. His past deeds and actions are before us,and as we gaze upon them written in letters of gold upon the monufnent of the past, see the benefits we have experienc ed through him, why should any ever think of tilling his place with an untried, inexperienced man. Qnibonof We are glud to see our best and most influential di to in citizens manifesting Some deep interest in the future welfare of the State and country, and only hope that their zeal may he doubly increased, and they may be more on the qai vice as election day approaches; for. who knows, but what other candidates may come before us ere that day, and they should be over on the alert—work with energy and unflinch ingly—as they never worked before if they expect success to crown their ef forts. Jn a recent issue of your paper,we saw "little article closed down on physi cians" and we suppose by that was it, that all physicians who had not a been actually engaged in the practice for five years and procured a license before that day would not be permitted to prac tice longer without going to the expense of undergoing Jackson which would cost them at the lowest calculation seventy-five or one hundred dollars. Now, Mr. Editor, it is not our intention to heap abusive epi thets upon the heads of our lust legisla ture who assembled, in our legislative halls lor the purpose of enacting such laws ns would benefit the people "en masse,'' hut to ask in all sincerity where is tho justice in uny such art? Does it protect the doctor ? Does it pro tect the people ? I am forced to make the assertion that it does neither. To il lustrate this grave yard fact, we know ig norant men who have never attended a course of medical lectures and who know absolutely nothing about medi cine, who have been nine to procure a license to the injury of the profession nS well as the people. They have carried a power of pill boxes for five years,and are thereby entitled to it license. On the oth er hand we know several excellent phy si 'inns who have practiced for fifteen or twenty years, regular graduates of first class colleges, intelligent,high-toned gen tldinen, Who were refused a license sim ply I lira use they were prevented from doing so by sickness or distance. If a thorough knowledge and understanding or "the science" is the nine non qua pre requisite, why, wo ask in the name of common sense, and wo might say, in the name of humanity, refuse men a license ry rigid examation at at who possess those neceessnry qualifies lions and license quacks, charletone and others, with utter disregard to race, color j or qualifications.
