That irrepressible son of Ham,
Bishop Turner, insists that Adam
and Eve were negroes. The Albany
News remarks, in pertinent reply,
that the fact that the offense for which
they were banished from Eden was
eating an apple, not stealing chickens
and watermelons, is enough to refute
ajl the Bishop’s arguments.
Last Sunday night six men at
tempted to “hold up” a train near
Si. Joseph, Mo., and of tlrs number
two were killed and th'ec were cap

of the attempt and made up a dupli
cate of the regular train with a load
of police prepared for the occa
sion. The plan, worked admirably.
OYSTER DREDGING.
The Harmon county Board of
Supervisors, at a recent regular meet
ing, refused to certain applicants the
privilege of using dredges in catching
oysters within jurisdiction of that
body. Since such proceedings by
the Board much comment has been
made, especially by the press of that
county. The Biloxi Herald seems to
approve dredging where oysters can
not be fished by tongs in deep water.
But the question arises where are the
oysters bedded in such a depth of
water that the dredger could be used
to an advantage to local factories?
To use the dredges means simply
this; To take all the oysters, small
and large alike, from the reefs at our
doors, and to damage the chances of
our home boats and their men in ply
ing their vication to earn an honest
livelihood.
The Echo applauds the action of
the Harrison county Board of Super
visors, it asks the Jackson and Han
cock Boards do likewise and to re
fuse repeal. The oysters industry as
it is must not be destroyed.
THE L. iN.’s CHANGE.
The new fast mail service which
has gone into effect over the Rich
mond and Danville and the Louis
ville and Nashville will give the
entire South direct connection with
the East, such connection as has
never been dreamed of before. The
schedule of the service from Boston
is interesting. Here it is:
Leave Boston 7:30 p. m.
Leave Springfield, Mass.,2:2o a.m.
Leave New York 4:30 a. m.
Leave Philadelphia, 6:40 a. m.
L ave Baltimore, 9:15 a.m.

Arrive Montgomery, 11:05 a.m.
Arrive Mobile, 5:20 p. m.
Arrive Bay St. Louis, 8 -.25 p. m.

This gives connections with all
branch roads covering the great

“Private” John.
The story of how the willy Missis
sippi congressman got the nick-name
of “Private” John Allen, is old but
will bear repeating. He was running
for Congress against the late Gen,
Wm. F. Tucker, and Tucker made a
speech one day whooping himself up
on his war record. He started out
by saying in stentorian voice: “I
slept one night before the battle in a
tent ” This was enough for
Allen. When he got up to speak he
said: “Yes. boys, Gcu. Tucker did
go to sleep in that tent, and I stood
guard in the rain around the tent.
Now, all you here to-day who sli&p
in tents vote for Tucker, but those
who stood guard in the rain and cold
vote for John Allen.” From that
day to this he has been called “Pri
vate” John Allen. Of course he was
e'ected.
Another American girl lias been
compelled by the brutal cruelly of
her titled husband to give up further
attempts to enjoy what she paid such
a big price for, and has gone to her
relatives for protection. The woman
in this case was Miss Mary Whjeler,
one of Philadelphia’s wealthiest
belles, whose marriage to Count von
Pappenheim, some three years ago,
was one of the most brilliant ever
celebrated in that city. If American
heiresses would not be so eager in
their chase after foreign noblemen
tuey would deserve and receive more
sympathy in their troubles, which
invariably follow such marriages.
The Yazoo Sentinel tells of “a
young man who is very particular
about his washing, lately wrote a
note to his washerwoman and one to
his sweetheart, and by a strange
fatality he put the wrong address on
each envelope and sent them up.
The washerwoman was well pleased
to receive an invitation to take a ride
next day, but when the young lady
read: “If you tumble up my shirt
bosom any more, as you did last
time, I will go somewhere else,” she
cried all evening and declared she
would never speak to him again.”

To (he People of Mississippi.
The military history of the great
Commonwealth of Mississippi which
should occupy a front rank in the
hearts of its patriotic citizens re
mains an unfortunate blank. We
will edit and publish a volume cover
ing the whole field, embracing the
complete annals of the Stale in the
military service of the Confederate
Stales of America from 1801 to 1805.
In the prosecution of this labor of
love for departed comrades in-arms
wo will reply and invite as survivors
of the '‘Lost Cause,” a ,hearty and
cordial co-operation of the people of
Mississippi generally, to furnish all
matters and data that they may have
in their possession to assist in the
prosecution of the work.
In the course of the next six
months a full and complete military
history will be published.
TO ALL CONFEDERATE MISSISSIPPI
CAPTAINS.
The Captains of the individual
companies of the different arms of
the service are the only persons that
we can rely on to furnish the neces
sary' records and rosters of their
several c unpaid s of tin ir c mm and.
A valuable feature of the volume
will be found in’a Memorial Roll—
Dedicated to Our Fallen Braves,
those who fell in battle, and will
give the name, date and place of
such officers and privates who were
killed wounded or captured, in the
various Dallies and skirmishes, as
can be obtained from all sources.
Great pains will be taken with these
lists, so as to make it a true and
lasting memorial of Mississippi valor
and patriotism of the State Volun
teers.
This publication will contain the
rosters of each and every company
and regiment organized for Confed
erate States Service of Mississippi
from each city, county
and village from every branch of
service, infantry, cavalry, artillery,
and nil independent or detached
commands, giving each soldier's
record, with his descriptive roll show
ing age, rank, killed wounded or
captured, number of battles, and
a general record of army service.
CONFEDERATE HISTORIC MATERIAL.
At the first annual re-union of the
Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans
of the State of Mississippi, held at
Meridian, Miss., June 12, 1891, the
following resolution was adopted as
follows:
Resolved, That a committee of
three bo appointed, whose du y it
shall be to gather together, and com
p:le all matters of interest pertaining
to battles, marches, camps, seiges,
casualties, prisoners of war, histori
cal battle reports, correspondence,
rosier rolls, returns, etc., of the
Confederate States Army for ll e use
of future historians, so that fuels
may be sustained by livingwilnesses.
Committee —Messrs. E. 11. Lial, J.
L. Power, and Jas. C. Jenkins.

A Large Dai’s Sawing.
At. the saw mill of M. T. Jones &
Cos., of Lake Charles, La., recently,
191,323 feet of lumber were cut in
eleven hours. This is said to be the
largest amount of lumber ever turned
out of a single circular saw mill in
that number of hours. The saw
was driven by a Corliss engine, hav
ing a cylinder 22 inches in diameter
by u 40 inch stroke, the drive wheel
being 20 feet in diameter with a 30
inch face, the engine making 65 revo
lutions per minute, with an average
steam pressure of 100 pounds. The
mill was provided with a steam log
turner and a twin feed engine, 14x24,
and steam log trippers, 'ihe saw
mandrel was 4 inches in diameter,
with water-co led journal boxes.
The S'w was 54 inches in diameter,
No. 6 guage, with 80 teeth. The
steam was generated by sawdust
taken direct from the saw.
The credit of this feat is largely
due to Mr. W. N. Elliott, saw filer,
and Mr. Ed. Bullock, sawyer.
The press and people arc almost
universal in their approval of the big
Chicago Fair closing its doors at the
time appointed—October 31st. To
extend the opening of the Fair would
first require Congrcssioral legi lation,
and the show would certainly he void
of its present interest as half of its
exhibitors have made their intention
known of leaving, and the cold
weather would preve very disagree
able. Close the Fair.
The Greenwood Enterprise says
with truth: There is no use talking
about anybody succeeding Hon. J.
Z. George as long as he wants to re
main in the U. S. Senate from Mis
sissippi. He is the biggest lawyer in
the Senate to-day and his patriotism
and devotion to the interest of Mis
sippians are limited only by his
ability.

Jtcv. Mr, Williams Heartily En
> dorses Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
We are pleased to present this from
Rev. A. A. Williams, of the Sillsbes
street Christian Church, Lynn, Mass.:
“ I see no reason why a clergyman, more than
a layman, who knows whereof he speaks,
should hesitate to approve an
Article of Merit
and worth, from which he or his family have
been signally benelited, and whose commenda
tion may serve to extend those benefits to
others by Increasing their confidence. My wife
has for many years been a sufferer from sever*
Nervous Peadaohe
for which she found little help. She has tried
many things that promised well but per
formed little. Lost fall a friend gave her a bot
tle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It seems surpris
ing what simply one bottle could and did do
for her. The attacks of headache decreased In
number and were less violent In their inten
sity, while her general health has been Im
proved. Her appetite has also been better.
From our experience with
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
I have no hesitation In endorsing its merits.”

A Great Mistake.
A Topcnt discovery la that headache,
dizziness, dullness, confusion of the mind,
etc., are duo to derangement of tho nerve
centers which supply tho brain with nerve
force; that Indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia,
wind In stomach, etc., arise from the derange
ment of tho nerve centers supplying those or
gans with nervo fluid or force. Thts Is likewise
true of many diseases of the heart and lungs,
The nervo system is like a telegraph system,
as wilt bo seen by the accompanying
student of nervous diseases, and author
of many noted treatises ou the latter subject,
long since realized the truth of tho first
statement, and his Restorative Nervine
Is prepared on that principle. Its success
In curing all diseases arising from derange
ment of Hie nervous system Is wonder
ful. as too thousands of unsolicited testimo
nials in possession of tho company manufac
turing tho remedy amply prove.
