A Good One.
We were informed that a fami
ly of people, apparently from the
mountains, were slowly driving
this way from Augusta, gyp
sy fashion last week. As thej
slowly moved on, the children
along the road would run and
niae upon seeing title parapner
nalia of gypsies. They were act
ually afraid of being kidnapped.
It is said that one boy has not
yet been recovered.
It is said that about 4m. this
side of Avgusta, an anxious far
mer, seeing that this force of IS
or 20 could soon gather his cot
ton crop, proposed to hire them
to pick cotton. The man, -who
seemed to be the father of this
crowd said “No my dear Gaston
we have plenty of cotton of our
own.”
Today, Wednesday, the news
comes to us that family was none
other than the family of Brant
Angus returning from Jndsonia.
The Colored Revival.
The Colored people Lave just
closed one of the most success
ful revivals ever held here. Rev.
Shelton certainly ought to be
greatly appreciated by his people.
As a result of his faithful work,
89 were converted; all of whom
were baptised last Sunday after
noon at Martin Junction in the
presence of about 800 spectators.
Everything went off nicely: only
once did Rev. Shelton have to
call for order and I ara sorry hi
say that the disorder was in the
white crowd. There are three
things I prize above all others.
1st. My dear mother.
2nd. My Bible and religion.
orb My polities.
Wins a you touch me on any of
the foregoing propositions, you
touch me -where I live. It mat
ter s little to me how people wor
ship or how demonstrative they
I are. Who knows for certain this
i is the way and nil others are
wrong? Let people worship ac
cording to the dictates of their
conscience. This is a free coun
try and I consider it a mark of
impoliteness to be disorderly,
while others are seeking Christ.
In the future let us act as men
and women and show the colored
people we appreciate their good
endeavors.

-VANISH THE

Davis’ Hajarity Holds its own;
In 31 counties Davis’ majority is!
about 20,000 over the combination,
Amendment No. 7 i5 lost.
Jackson County where such a bitter fight was made on Davis
for the Simmon’s pardon, was carried by Davis with a larger major
ity than any Governor has since the war. Does thi3 sound like
Reduced vote for Davis, Mr. correspondent for the Commercial
Appeal? Davis gained over 300 votes in Little Rock and that too
in the face of what the opposition scattered broad-cast over the
state by their board to the Commercial Appeal and things, called
spec-filters, to tell how shamefully Jeff acted at lastsatuday’s speak
irig, when in fact it was a Clayton turn-out that broke up the
meeting. Some say how do we know? In the first place white
people would behave themselves; Secondly, Miers got a respect
ful hearing,1 but not Davis. Thirdly, a great many of impolite
rowdies were mail carriers, wearing uniforms and then tell me
Davis did it. Why my dear Olphonse, permit me to to tell you,
you are incurably SICK.

Tliis cotton was imported by me last year and I fin'd it
far ahead of any cotton I have ever tried. I already b<*ve
S bales picked: this gives you an idea of how Gariy this
Cotton is. J. D. Johnson says two bales of this cotton
ginned by him turned out as follows: 1770 seed cotton
made a bale weighing 643 pounds and out of 1630 seed cot
ton 5G0 pounds. Mr. Hailey says it is far superior to the
ordinary cotton. You can buy the seed at Johnson,s gin
for $1.00 per hundred or give him 1£ bushels for one.
