THE DILWORTHREUNION.
A PLEASANT GATHERING AT MR.
T. F. DILWORTH'S.
An Abundant Dinner of Good Things, Rec
itations, and a Large Crowd of Genial,
Sociable People Enjoyed the Day.
, Editor Corinthian:
At the residence of Mr. T. F. Dil
worth on the Tth inst., 'assembled a
large and jolly crowd of relatives,
composed of Dilworth's Walkers, Dal
tons, Bynums, Settles, Taylors and
others.
In all there were fifty-seven,
all related in
some way except Mr.
Lees, Mrs. Honnoll and myself, and
the driver who brought out a large
crowd from Corinth. But that does
not signify that Mr. Lees, Mrs. Hon
noll and myself are related to the driv
er. It was not necessary to be related
to the company to enjoy the occasion.
After we had assembled in the beauti
ful grove in front of Uncle Tommy
Dilworth's handsome residence and
enjoyed ourselves in social conversa
tion and eating some delicious fruit,
we were the.n called to the house to'
drink some ice-wa'ter prepared for the
occasion. Next it was announced that
dinner was ready in the grove under
the large oaks. After some persua
sion we decided to go; and when we
approached the dinner spread on the
ground, and saw the abundance of
ham, chicken, cake, and other good
things too numerous to mention, we
saw at once that the social conversa
tion was not all that whs to be enjoy
ed. After partaking of the food that
was before us, then came the ice cream
which was of the finest quality,
were next called to the house, where
the crowd assembled in the large and
commodious hall to here some recita
We
tions by Messrs. Mark Dilworth, Terry
Dalton and young Mr. Settle, which
was very much enjoyed by all.
next repaired to the grove and resum
ed our social conversation, with Doctor
Taylor in the lead, and while it re
quires a good deal o£ opace lor him yet
the space was acceptably filled on that
occasion, and we enjoyed his talks
very much. The old people were then
invited to take the second course of
ice eream; and I have not yet been in
formed whether Mrs. Honnoll accept
ed the invitation or not, for ordinarily
she denies being old. But in this case
I do not suppose she did. We then as
sembled around the supper table, and
after supper we took the parting hand.
And all returned to our homes feeling
better for having been with such a
jolly crowd, and enjoying so many
good things. Many thanks to Colonel
Walker and family for their kind invi
tation to go with them to this happy
reunion.

To "Enquirer"— Chas. Diekens visit
ed the United States in 1842, and again
in 1807, giving numerous readings, and |
meeting with a brilliant reception.
You will find his opinion of St. Louis
and a "short history" of his visit to
the Prairies in chapters 12 and 13, in
his American Notes.
Emerald.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT—Chas. Dick
ens was in this country January 22,
1842. While here he visited all the
leading cities and places of interest,
which he describes in no flattering
words, in his American Notes. Bis
description of St. Louis and the prai
rie, though brightened here and there
with gleams of his peculiar humor,
shows plainly that his opinion of these
places was not very high. St. Louis
seemed to him to be a big country
town, hot, lying among great rivers,
possessing vast tracts of undrained,
swampy lands, and disposed to fever
and "all the ills that flesh is heir to."
According to his own statement he
was keenly disappointed in the prairie.
He says that after taking a rather di
lapidated vehicle of great antiquity
and unearthly construction his party
started to the prairie. lie had to pass
through many little sleepy towns with
wretched huts and stagnant, slimy,
rotten, filthy water, to reach the vast
tracts of land he was seeking. The
very flatness and extent of this, which
left nothing to the imagination, tamed
it down and cramped its interest. It
was lonely and wild, but oppressive in
its barren monotony. He further adds
that it was not a scene to be forgotten,
'but it was scarcely one, he thought (at
all events as he saw it) to remember
with much pleasure or to covet the
looking-on again in afterlife. M.W.S.
Something to Know.
It may be worth something: to know that the
very best medicine for restoring the tired out
nerVous system to a healthy vigor is Electric
Bitters. This medicine is purely vegetable,
acts by giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Livei and Kid
neys» and aids these organs in throwing off im
purities in the blood. Electric Bitters im
proves the appetite, aids digestion, and is pro
nounced by those who have tried it as the very
best blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.

Has Been Trouble, Still Trouble and Trou
ble Likly to Come—The Forty Acre
Man and Tenant Not In It Much.
Editor .Corinthian,
Well, "they say" it is coming. "Let
her come;" but Alcorn county will just
be sorry once. The three-wire fence
and put up your hogs won't do. Just
about tnis.tlme of year when every
thing is as dry as a bone the cows will
walk right through your three strands.
Remember that all geese, all sheep and
all goats must be put up with the hogs.
It seems uljso that water becomes an
object sometimes. There lias been
considerable trouble about stocklaw.
There is still trouble. Those who
want it should fence themselves in and
hush up. Tax yourselves and let oth
er people alone. There can be no

this matter of public interest a part of

I say you have no such right from any
consideration, if your disposition of
your own affairs works to thu disad
vantage of your community. Better a
thief should hang than for a commun
ity to suffer from his depredations.
We do not doubt that stocklaw will
spread, for those who get into it can
hardly get out, and an extension bene
fits those who w'ere so unfortunate as
to bite the bait. If we have anything

STOWEliS' TAKES A SHOT
AT THE GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE
"SUPPLEMENT."
The Flowery of Demogoguery, Language of
Damphoolery and a Masterpiece of
Discreditable Sophistry.
A "supplement," containing the re
cent veto message of Gov. McLnurin
has been furnished a number of State
papers, and issued by a number of
them. The Oxford Globe, referring to
them, says: "Now we would not do
the governor an injustice, but God
knows that of all the ad captandUm
absurd and' preposterous documents
that ever disgusted a people this mes
sage takes the cake. As a stump
speech intended to catch the unthink
ing—to throw dirt in the eyes of hon
est but careless people this message
is a striking specimen. It is the flow
ering ni demagoguery, the language of
damphoolery, a masterpiece of sophis
try discreditable to the intelligence of
Mississippi's chief executive and au
affront to the patriotic citizenship of
the state. After its ridiculous features
had been demonstrated by the legisla
tive committees, we concluded that
common, ordinary self-respect and in
tellectual pride would lead Gov. Me
Laurin to withhold it from public no
tice as much as possible. But as usu
al with his class of cattle, haying neith
er self respect nor intellectual pride,
the public is again inflicted with this
