We are authorized to announce the
name of W. C. Miller, for the office of
Mayor of Woodville at the ensuing
City election.
A Jack by Mail.
We are informed by a friend of
ours that a few weeks ago a Sir. T.
ulio is an extensive planter and
merchant, and lives near Wilson La.
concluded that he would try his hand
at raising mules. Having quite a
number of mares on hand the next
step was to purchase a Jack .
After inquiring, he found tha' he
could purchase one of the animals
from Mr. R. living on l'ercys Creek
Mississippi, for $100. The price
was agreed on and T. sent our in
former to Woodville after him. After
a tustle and drag of about 10 hours
lie succeeded tn getting the Jack to
Mr. T's. a little after dark, when
the following conversation took place:
Got back Smith.
Yes
Where is the Jack.
There he is.
Where.
Right there Look
will see him.
down and you
Hallelugah 1 Yon
call that a
Jack.
That sir is a 20 lb Portoriceo Jack,
and they sell by the pound, $5 00
per pound.
Why the devil didnt' he send him
by mail, and save me the tioublc of
sending two grown men after that
thing.
Well Sir, I applied to the Post
Master but the mail sack was full of
campaign documents aud for fear of j
an explosion he said he would not
like to mix them.
Turn him in the yard and in the
morning I will get my glasses and
perhaps I can see him. By daylight
the next morning T. wa-i up looking
for the Jack, but he
could not be
I0UD1,
Well Smith that thing is gone, you j
had better put the dogs on his track !
and catch him. j
said Smith!
Under what!
Under the house ?
Vt'hn in tho t.hnndai wmil.l Ihinb- tt I
looking under the house for a Jack.
Well stoop down here. There he
stands as bold as Julius Cesar.
Smith you go under there and pull
that thing out, put him m an envel
ope, direct it to Mr. R. l'ercys
Creek Miss, and mail at once. Re
quest vhe man I bought him of to
deduct $15 00 as an experimental
fee and remit me the balance and I
will stick to horses the balance of
my days. Smith for the Lord sake
never mention this and when you get
through I will treat to a gallon of
Black Horse.
Attention is called to the Land
& Stuck Sale by D . L. Pharis, Jr.
which will take place on Dec 21st.
Parties would do well to attend this
s ite, as valuable lands and fine stock
are offered for sale on reasonable i
term.-. i
ULi,
Ihe result of last Tuesday elco- ;
lion was adverse to (he Democracy
We say adverse, not disastrous,
advisedly for the hisstorv of the
last seveuly-live years' shows that
the Democratic party is srtonger ;
and more determined iu defeat, if
possible, than when victory has
perched upon its banners. The
Democrats North have carried only
Connecticut and New Jersey and
perhaps (. olifornia. In the West
and North West they have made
large gains over the vote of 1884,
but not sufficient to overcome the
large Republican majorities. There
is no doubt of the fact that C cve
land has received a larger popular
vote than Harrison It seems that
Indiana was lost by some 3000 votes
and New York by 11,000. The
South is still the solid South. The
House of Representatives is in doubt,
both parties claiming it by small
majorities.
The Reaso. Wht.
The vote of New York State would
have elected Cleveland and Thur
man. It was lost by the treachery
of Democrats and the prodigal use
of immense sums of money by the
Republicans. Up to Ihe evening of
the day of the election Democratic
leaders in Kings County (Brooklyn)
reported to the National Committee
throught the day that they would
surely carry the county by more
than 20.00C for Cleveland, Of a
sudden these rcpots ceased, aud to
the astonishment and consternation
of Col. Brice and his colleagues the
majority or plurality dropped to 11,
00U votes, while Hill got 1G,00. This
was nothing less than a sell out it
shows on the face ot it
Hill carried New York County by
G8,0()0, Cleveland's plurality was
but 57,000. In that county the Re
publican Candidate for Sheriff re
ceived 81,000 votes, Miller for Gov.
97,000 and Harrison 107,000 votes.
These figures tell the tale unmis
takably. The National Democratic
ticket was knifed all around trade
off. If we had not the voir, the
situation would be bearable, but to
elect a Republican President with
Democratic votes isralhcr more than
the Democracy of the county will
forgive within the next twenty years.
Aside from New York there Is no
doubt but that the cry of "free trade
&c" lost the Democrats many Demo
cratic votes, though as we have said
there was a gain in the popular vole
in the North-west npon this issue.
It is not a matter for wonder that
votes everywhere could not be
brought to a correct judgment upon
our present revenue system at this
election. If the demand for revenue
reform and a lower tariff has not
beeu successful before the country
neither has it been beaten. Iu the
face of all the powers of darkness
which overshadow this question per
sistently in spite of the monopo
lists and the taking cry of protection
for American labor the Democracy
has fought the campaign upon a
principle fearlessly and well. That
it has not won triumphantly at once
matters not ; the never dying prin
ciple of equal justice to all remains
and the Democratic party in its vin
dication will be found more deter
mined and more aggressive iu the
l future than it has been in the past.
This tariff question is before the
pe0ple ; it will not down at Ihe bid
Uing of robber protectionists; the
people will investigate and sooner or
j iafer they will pronounce judgment
j jn favor of the right and their own
I interests as well,
j We say rather let ns suffer tem-
nnrarv defeat than f;til to fiVht. the !
battle which has but begun. Come
victory come defeat the Democratic
l)arty without halt or shadow of
trning wjh be true to its great mis-

Indiana will increase ber represeubi

there are seven Republicans and six
Democrats, Not bingle icturn has

, CinoAoo, Nov. C In Southern Illi
nois it has rained most of the day, A
very huge vote is reported frrorn all
poiuts, uml as tho ticket is a long one,
a full count will not ba made till vory
lute. All l'ceeii'Ia to far received out
side of Cuok County show a small Re
publican gr.in, which, if maintained,
will give Harrison several thousand
gain over Blaine's vote iu 1881. Pal
mer's vole for Governor is greater than
Cleve'.ands's at all points yet heard
from. If tho rale of the Republican
gains continue in the same proportion
the Statu will give Harrison u majority
of from 15,000 to 20,000.
Chicago, Nov, C. 187 precincts iu
28 conuties iu Illinois outside of Chi

and only about one-q'iarter of the pre
cincts in these counties. If this ratio
is continued there would boa not Re

of Cook cotiuty, whioh niil probably
go Republican by 2000 to 3000.
In Chicago 321 precincts out of 311
show; Harrison 53,003, Cleveland 00,

COUN1Y FAIR.
As we said in our last we will en
deavor to finish tip the account of
our County Fair. Friday the fourth
aud last day, was a most perfect
success, In all respects, as to atten
dance, weather, and sports.
The ladies department, was very
full and inot-t tastefully arranged,
under the deft bands of the lady
directress Mrs. D. C. Rramlett.
Amidst the maze of beautiful lace,
crocheting, feather, and flower work,
outlining embroidery, patch work,
plain, and fancy sewing, darned net
and painting, to say nothing of the
tempting display of pre -erves, pick
les, jellies, bread, cakes, butter, and
the countless lovely and practical
things clue to woman's bands, it is
almost an impossibility to "give honor
where honor is due" (for it wus due
everywhere.) However we can do
no better than follow the example of
the competent judges.
First in order came a cradle quilt
patchwork, first premium awarded
Malcolm and Lorraine Robinson.
The premium in this department for
older folks was given to Mrs. Robt.
Smith, for a verry large and beauti
ful silk crazy quilt elaborately em

Mamie Johnson,
Best floral display, first prize Mrs.
Bonney. N
It was a most difficult office to
award only one prize, where each
individed piece of work merited a
reward. Among other beautiful
work was a handsome crimson plush
lamberquin embroidered with ribbon
I and chenille in rosea and daises.
The dainty work of Mrs. C. Scbaef
er, .
The display of penmanship, china
painting, point lace and embroidery
from tho Convent of the Visitation,
was very beautiful ; aud attracted
many an admirer. It is really use
less to attempt a delineation of the
beauties of this department, we
would ouly say to those who had not
the good fortune of seeing in person,
to come next year and see for them
selves. .
The first race of the day wa3 a
trotting mile race, with the follow
ing entries:
Ventress Bro., Princess, Ned Forts
bay, Woods' bay, IIowclls sorrel,
Dr. Cross's "Marie.
Mile heats best two in three, won
by our Southern raised beauty Prin
cess. There was a fine display of horse
manship by experienced Mexicans,
who bossed and rode a wild bull in
sight of the assembled crowd, and
did not meet with the fate of Col.
Stockdale's Irishman who tackled a
similar bird.
The race of the day mile heats,
best two out of three, created much
excitement, the enteries were Clay
tons "Rofiana," and "Cyclone"
"Rufiana," winning easily iu two
heats.
So our third annual Fair was a
great success; the daily attendance
averaging 500, with fine weather, a
well conducted restaurant, and
friends and neighbors from all Bides,
it would have been singular other
wise. As always ' before onr good
friends from West Feliciana joined
hands with old Wilkinson in making
our Fair a great success.
In another place will be fonnd a
list of well deserved premiums.
Next year bids fair to be more
el&borate with exhibits iu every de
partment. The proseect should cer
tainly be an incentive to all for one
week to lay aside all care and busi
ness, and spending a few days to
gether showing in some measure our
year's improvement, aiding each
other from our mntal experience, and
so add our mite towards once more
placing our glorious old South where
she once was and should aud so an
revoir not goodbye.
We have- the first number of the
South Mississippian, published at
Summit. W. T. Sparkman Editor
and Proprietor, which we gladly add
to our exchange list. The paper is
well got up and its editorial conduct
evinces both experience and ability.
We wish tho fcouth Mississippian
every success.
