The “A. P. A.” has developed into an
aggressive political party in New Eng
land and in the North West. Religious
intolerance makes a very narrow plat
form for a political party, but it seems to
be quite broad enough to furnish a se

cratic party is the party of religious and
constitutional liberty and equality.

A SAD DEaTH.
The angel reaper. Death, visited our
city on last Thursday and clasped in its
cold embrace Little Julia Smith, 3 years
of age, the youngest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. H. Smith, of Jackson. Lit
tle Julia was striken with diphtheria
some three weeks ago, and at one time
was thought to be convalescing, and her
hundreds of friends were confident of an
early recovery, but a relapse occurred
which soon overcame her vitality and
she sauk rapidly under its weakening
influences.
Rev. J. H. Eakes, of Atlanta, preached
the funeral sermon at the Methodist
church, of which she was a member.
There was a large concourse of people
present, and as Mr. Eakes dwelt upon
the Christian virtues of this lovable
child, it seems to us as if a pin fall
would have marred the solemnity of the
occasiou. No death has ever elicited
such genuine sympathy iu our midst, as
did the demise of this charming example
of Christ and His works. Julia has left
a large concourse of friends to mourn
her departure, and a place is vacant in
a home which has once reverberated
with the merry prattle of her childish
voice, but is now stilled with the la
mentable mournings of grief stricken
parents. Our sj’mpathies are extended
to the sorrwing family in their distress,
and as consolation we point them to God'
who doetli all things for the best.
The remains were interred iu the Jack
son cemetery on Friday afternoon, and
were followed to their last resting place
by an exceeding large concourse of
friends.
IN MEMORIAM.
Respectfully written in memory of
Little Julia Smith, who departed this
life on Thursday last:
She passed away with the summer
flowers.
That wither at the touch of Autumn’s
breath,
Passed forever away from this world of
ours,
Into the mysterious realm of death.
And there’s sorrow and gloom and
hearts distiest,
For the reason of it all is beyond our
sight,
But God in nis goodness knovveth
best,
He knows, and He doetli all things
right.
Sweet Julia’s iu Heaven and her bonny
eyes,
Like the gazelle’s—brown and clear,
Are watching and waiting from the
portals of the skies,
Waiting and watching for the loved
ones here.
And when the dream of life and its
sorrow is o’er
And the summons comes from the
distant shore,
We will meet again and’twill all he
plain
And we will dwell in peace forever
more. W.

“The cows are in the corn,” she said
But weu He reached there he found

Cotton is going at 5 3-8 cents yet but

The populists created an uproar at the
court house on Saturday last. It seems
that every time Peek batted his eyes
some “coon” over in the far corner
would yell until his lungs were in dan
ger. It’s like the party, hoAvever, there
is more blow than damage done at these
entertainments.
During Mr. Peek’s speech a democrat
happened to let his foot touch a pops
back. The pop whirled around and
said, “are you rubbing your feet on me
because lam a populist. We dout knoAV
what Mr. Elmo Andrews said to the man
but it was real strange that a man could
feel so self condemned as to be forever

DEMOCRATS CARRY BUTTS.
The election passed off quietly here
yesterday. The populists took their de
feat good humoredly, and seemed to be
satisfied with the showing they made.
On the first count the majority seemedTO
be about 94, but when the illegal votes
are thrown out it will probably reach
150 or 200, for the reason that the ne
groes voted almost solidly for the popu
lists and they are the defaulters and
therefore they will reduce the populists
showing. The populists had four rally
ing places in the county and carried ev
ery one of them except Jeukiusburg.
There is one thing sure, if the populists
couldn’t succeed under the present con
ditions, with practically a solid negro
vote, wilt n the minds of the people
are disabusing of the delsion
that the democrats are to blame for the
price of cotton and the difierent drouths
over the county, our friends will give up
the ghost. There was no one in the
county who knew anything personally
against any of the populists candidates,
and they let eyery man vote his polit
ical desires without prejudice or any
such things and of course the majority
will be less than it was two years ago,
but it will be very little, which shows
there was no material change in this
county. We congratulate our people
upon the fact that every thing is pleas
ant in this county with the different
factions, and each concedes to the other
the right of his own conviction.
