Shorter, James A., Jr.; Barksdale, E. (Ethelbert), 1824-1893

TERRY, MISS., Oct. 29 - The barbecue and speaking at Dry Grove today was quite a success. Maj. Barksdale and J. A. Shorter, candidate for the Legislature, made able and telling speeches to quite a large crowd of colored people. The prospects look quite favorable for the Democratic ticket, both county and State.
