tASCAllOULA RIVER PAR.
That the bar at the mouth of
East Pascagoula river ought to be
cleaned out, is not at all (piestioned
by the citizens of this place, and
by those who own and run vessels
in this trade, lint just how the
money with which to accomplish
this desired end is to be obtained,
is the question ot the hour.
If Gov. Stone has sufficiently re
covered from the terrible drubbing
at the hands of some of our State
papers for refusing to sign the
Mobile and Ohio railroad compro
mise bill, we would, in all due re
spect, ask the attention of our
executive for a few minutes. Now,
dear Governor, you cannot be igno
rant of the fact that the legislature
of our State did, in the year ot our
Lord 1873, appropriate and set
apart the snug little sum of $25,000
to bo used, under certain conditions,
in deepening the bar at the mouth
of the aforesaid river. Also, dear
governor, you are certainly aware
of the fact that thoso conditions
have been complied with, viz.:
That the citizens of our much
abused and neglected corner of the
State of Mississippi and county of
Jacksou, ditl raise in good and law
ful money of the United States,
the sum of J3000, as required by
said act, and judiciously laid out
that amount, together Jwith $2500
additional, not stipulated in the
law, in improving and deepening
the channel nt the mouth of the
river Pascagoula. Then, dear gov
ernor, being in possession of all
these facts, does it not become you,
as the chief executive of the graud
old State of Mississippi, and as
chairman ex-oflicio of the commis
sion created by that law to carry
out the objects of the same, to call
a meeting of said commission and
authorize the auditor of the State
to issue his warrant for $5000 with
which' to further prosecute this
very important enterprise! We
say important, dear governor, but
would not insinuate in tho least
that this work is of very great im
portance to you, for from tho man
ner in which you have treated the
people of this section of the State
(and we do live in Mississippi, dear
governor) in regard to opening up
navigation in Pascagonlu river, it
would seem you regard it as of no
importance at all. We are well
aware you were opposed to the
originnl appropriation when it
passed the senate in 1873, but then,
dear governor, the act became" a
law, and it becomes you as the gover
nor of the whole Site, to see that
the laws are executed, aud the
governor who neglects or refuses
to do his duty is very sure to be
ceusured by the people.
The water on the bar at tho
mouth of the river, in low tide, is
about four and a half feet, and in
high tide about six and a half feet.
Should the channel be deepend to ten
feet.vessels drawing nine or ten feet
could go up the river to Moss Point
and land opposite tho mills, but as
it now is, vessels of nine and ten
feet draft are, to a certain extent,
debarred from entering this trade,
a lid consequently go elsew here, to
the loss of our lumber interest.
While upon this subject there is
another matter to w hich we w ish
to call the attention ot our dear
governor, w hich is this : Under the
law to which we have referred five
commissioners were appointed as
follows, the governor, secretary of
state, Dr. E. F. Griffin, S. Dodson,
Sr., and J. M. Mclnnis. The latter
gentleman is now dead, and we
think the governor should appoint
some one to fill tho vacancy. Iu
casting about for a suitabl gentle
man we know of no one better
qualified for the position than Hon.
W. Denny, and would respectfully
suggest that Gov. Stone appoint
him as one ot the commissioners.
TlIK Canton If ail thinks that if $330 is
good pay for a farm band, it ought to be
deemed excellent for a teacher. So do we,
and we venture the opinion that the
teacher who work a year for $3tW doca
not honestly earn the money. Vicksburg
Yes, and we will venture the as
sertion that the editor of the Ex
pre does not know the value of
an education, or be certainly would
not make such a remark. And so
far as comparing the wages of a
farm band with a teacher's salary
we thoucbt better of Bro. Boss of
the Mail. We deem the position
of school-teacher a most important
one, aud think those who are to
instruct the rising generation
should be liberally paid for their
services.
"Died while reading a newspaper," aaya

THAT LETTER.
Judge Foote, the senator from
Noxubee, rises up and says ho
never signed that letter said to
have been written to Col. En in or
endorsing his course on tho silver
bill. In his letter addressed to
the Macon Beacon ho says:
I desire to say as a member of tho State
senate, that 1 never signed any such letter,
uor have 1 heard anything about it, ex
cept what I have seen in the Index. This
limy be on account of my blindness and
being led, or leudiug the blind.
Since the above was in type we find
in the Edwards Citizen the reply of
Col. Lamar to tho letter spoken of,
which is conclusive evidence that
some such document was written
to the honorablo senator. The let
ter written by our State senators
has not yet come to light, but will
probably be published 'ere long.
The following is Col. Lamar's reply :
To the Houolnbles W. A. Montgomery, J.
It. Morgan, J. L. McCaskill, U. 11. Allen,
W. II. FitzUerald, W. D. Gtbbs, S. T.
Oldham, L. W. Lee, Chaa. E. Furlong,
V. L. Luwranoe, C. O. Ctillicott, K. li.
Thompson and John W. Fewcll:
Gentlemen I have the great pleasure of
acknowledging the receipt of your letter of
the lth February. From the time when,
in tho discharge of what I considered an
imperative duty, I voted against the silver
bill, until the adjournment of the legisla
ture of Mississippi, I have steadily forlwre
any correspondence with its members. 1
found myself nuabl to agree with a ma
jority of them upon a very grave question
of public policy; and, having done what
I considered my duty, 1 felt that it was
only proper that 1 should leave thcin to
discharge theirs without explanation or
suggestion from me. It was for them to
decide what estimate they should place on
my action, free from any personal depreca
tion on my part
As the legislature has now adjourned
without any expression of opinion upon
the vote which I cast, I feel myself at
liberty to return my thanks to those who
have recognized, as you have done, tho
spirit in which I acted.
1 do not know what yonr Individual
opinions are, as to the merits of tho hill
itself, anil I feel, therefore, only the more
grateful for an approval of tho independ
ence of judgment which I thought it my
duty to exercise.
This conlido.nce in my character and np
prnval of my construction of my senatorial
duty are inlinitely more valuable to me
tlmii any popularity which a vote rust
either wav on any particular measure
might achieve. They are worth more, far
more, thin the personal honor they do me.
They will serve as an encouragement to
others, who, ropreseuting you hereafter,
may feel themselves burdened with simi
lar responsibilities, and they illustrate the
intelligence, the ndelity, tho generosity of
tho State, of whom it will be, as it ever
lias been, my highest ambition to bo a
trusted representative. '
I am, gentlemen, verv trulv and sincere
ly, yours. L. q. V. LAMAK.
ABOUT J D TICR TIS IXG .
The St. Louis Pout has the follow
ing sensible chapter on advertising,
to which we would call the atten
tion of merchants ami business men
everywhere, as it contains some per
tinent truths not generally known :
Now that the season of spring advertis
ing is setting in, it is worthwhile for all
business men whose business compels
them to advertise to take note of the uit
ference between an advertisement which
reaches the eyes of those for whom it was
intended, and an advertisement wmeii
reaches the waste paper basket ill other
words, it is the dillereiice between ail an
vertisement iu a newspaper whi-h is read
aud one in acirrular which no man looks
at. One may lead a horse to the water
but not make linn drink, ami one may
lend a customer to unwrap a trade adver
tising sheet, but no power can compel hiin
to read it.
The newspaper, however, which he buys
and pays for, with which he has a daily
acquaintance and in which ho feels a cer
tain proprietary interest, is read through
and through; it is passed from hand to hand
in the family, and its telegrams, its gos
sip, editorials, its mniket reports, its frag
ments and gleanings, form part of the
staple of conversation. It is looked at so
often and known so well that any change
in its nppearancc is noted at once ; a new
advertisement strikes every eye; a large
display is studied with as much interest
as a telegr on or a letter from our own
correspondent. The iidvantagH of this
kind of advertising is worth morn than all
the cost, and it cau easily stand the test
of n comparison with advertising which
is cheap chielly because it is worthless.
The Mnrphey temperance move
ment is rapidly spreading over the
State, aud many of the citizens are
signing the pledge. We see that
Cols. MeCardlo and Cooper have
joined hands in this good cause,
and now we have hopes of Col.
Frantz.

Village Improvements and Liberality of Visi

Ocsam Si-MNua, April T, lWfl.
Editor DbmooratStar-No-ticing
that some erudite had
met with disappointment and
retired to some obscure place,
I make my appearance, trust
ing tho necessary space will be
granted me. Mito meetings are,
in these parts, quite numerous;
those of more note are given for
the benefit of the Baptist church
now being erected at this place.
Our sui er visitors, now in the
Crescent City and Calf City, are
quite liberal iu their contributions.
We at e happy to state that no dis
tinction is made to denominations
among our summer visitors, as they
all have to heart the-improvement
of our village contributions are
liberally given to all good works.
On the evening of tho Olh inst.,
the monthly mite meeting was giv
en at the residence of Mrs. L.
Bradford, some two miles east of
this place. The writer, having a
weakness for all assemblages of
the fair and gallant, was promptly
on hand at the. " first hour." We
were met at the door by t wo charm
ing young ladies MissC. W. and
Miss 1. B. who ushered us into
tho hall (not " bosom of civiliza
tion'") which was beautifully and
tastefully decorated with choice
flowers. Over the entrance door
was an arch formed by tho branches
of virgilia, which weie covered
with elegant flowers, mingled with
tho sweet fragrant magnolia -fi isua
ta, which gave a pleasant odor,
which, by the gentle wind, was
wafted to every couple that prome
naded the spacious hall and lengthy
piazza. Besides this numerous
bouquets of choice roses, geran
iums, etc. were nently stationed on
a ceutre-table. At half-past seven
the room was crowded with the
fair and handsome children of our
neighborhood. Our esteemed mer
chant, Mr. It. A. Vuncleave, was
present, and with his smiling face
and encouraging words, soon gave
us the start, which was only need
ed, for it was not long 'ere we were
indulging in the sweetness of
" kissing games." Tho gentlemau
with the "darling moustache," Boon
found words that granted nun a
" smack " his secret was soon dis
covered, and to his own regret every
woer was heard whispering I " Lot
it be mutial," and the results show
ed It was not a "one-sided affair.''
"Grow to my lips, thou sacred kiss,
On w hich my soul's beloved swore
That there should come a time of bliss.
When slio'd mock my hopes no more."
At 9 o'clock refreshments were
announced, and with tho fairest of
the fair we entered the room where
was placed the necessities ot life.
The table was covered with cakes,
pastries, meats, candies, fruits,etc. )
(lowers were scattered here and
there iu neat vases; in the center
was the plate for " the mite," into
which every one dropped a shining
coin. Ample justice was did tho
repast.
At 10 o'clock the games were
again started, and kept up until
the iron tongue of midnight warned
us of the approach of the Sabbath.
The amouut taken iu was $11 25.
Every one left perfectly satisfied
with the eveuing's entertainment.
Tho writer, tenders thanks to the
ladies iu charge tor kindness shown
him and companion, and trust 'ere
long some similar entertainment
will be given and he may be found
among the present. Moro anon,

There has been several changes iu
property latelyi Tho firm of C. &
N. Butchert have built a new w harf
extending out to the channel, and
we are to have the steamer New

fare for the round trip seventy-five

E. E. Jordy & Co., of the "Bed

large and commodious store, and
are building a track to connect
their house with the New Orleans

This is an enterprising firm and de

Col. W. Lee Patton: I will
(his evening drop yon a note in re
gard to small pox in Pike county.
I have just returned from the neigh
borhood where the small pox is,
and see from several sti(einents
that we have it iu Pike aud Marion
counties, and will state for those
interested, that we have not had a
single case in the eastern part ot
Pike yet, but it is at Mr. Mike
Pearson's who lives in Marion coun
ty very near tho line, but he claims
his citizenship iu Marion county.
I made a mistake in my letter to

ing that two of Mr. Bracey's chil
dren were tlead, only Mr. and Mrs.
Brncey, and infant child died with
small pox. At this titno all the
cases heard from are doing well
and have nurses to attend to them.
I make this correction for the

know those cases are in Marion

Tito Murphy Movement at Abcr

At first it seemed as though tho
seed of reform had " fallen in bar
ren places," but gradually, first one
at a time, then iu couples, then iu
threes, and finally in a steady stream,
the friends of the movement stepped
forward, gave in their names, re
ceived cards, and appending the
blue ribbon badges to the breasts of
tin ir coats anil dresses the net
result of tho first night's work being
one hundred and five signers. Of
course the greater number of these
were ladies and thoso who merely
looked " upon the wine when it was
red," yet there were among the
