Text Any textual data included in the document Sharkey County All O.K. for Gen. Thos. Catchings. Correspondence of the Commercial Herald. Nitta Yuma, Sharkey Co., Oct. 29, 1886. Meetings held all over the county show that the colored folks, whites, except a "poor" little few Repubs, all the Mexicans and Chinamen, join in one hearty chorus and sing together for Gen. Catchings. This is immense, is it not? Old Sharkey is always on top. Your humble servant witnessed the grandest meeting at this place last night we have seen for years, and we have seen a few. We were taken by surprise in the matter as in passing different stations, not knowing anything about the meeting, our curiosity was excited by seeing so many of our friends boarding the train, and naturally we began to question, and were very promptly informed. So we joined in. The prominent parties, who got up the boom at this particular place were Dr. J. C. Hall, J. G. Parham, W. W. Miller, W. B. Barnard, <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/george-william-butler--sharkey">George W. Butler</a> and <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/russell-walker-houston--issaqu">R. W. Houston</a>. While standing looking and meditating among the crowd of speakers and by-standers, we jumped about, I suppose, six inches high, because we were shocked, not by Wiggin's earthquake, but a cannon. Then the speaking began, opened by <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/george-william-butler--sharkey">George W. Butler</a>, who delivered a fine speech also convincing to the colored people. He was followed by <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/russell-walker-houston--issaqu">R. W. Houston</a>, who absolutely made the best and used the most powerful and truthful and convincing arguments we ever listened to from the lips of a colored speaker, (of course you know, Mr. Editor, both <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/george-william-butler--sharkey">Butler</a> and <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/russell-walker-houston--issaqu">Houston</a> are colored men, but good ones, not speakers.) They have joined the Democratic ranks. Now if such men as <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/george-william-butler--sharkey">Butler</a> and <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/russell-walker-houston--issaqu">Houston</a> continue their good work we will have the grandest, best and richest government on earth. We could give a few of the points made by all the speakers, but it is not necessary, as we have our old friend, Col. Simrall, so badly defeated it is not right to keep punching him in the ribs. Yours, Democratically TRULY. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document INTERESTING SESSIONS OF JACOBS COUNCIL Negro Organization in Splendid Financial Condition, Reports Show. The afternoon session of the Supreme Council of the Sons and Daughters of Jacob, in session at Beneficial Hall, was full of interest. Supreme Master <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/louis-kossuth-atwood--hinds-co">L. K. Atwood</a> appointed a committee on the revision of the laws, and that committee was given the idea of the council by a number of addresses of delegates on various phases of the laws requiring betterment. Among those who delivered addresses were Perry W. Howard, W. J. Latham, Calvin N. Miller, T. A. Young of Hernando and P. G. Cooper of Jackson. The night or public session found the Farish Street Baptist Church crowded to the doors and a crowd that was on the tip-toe of expectancy for the many bright and witty things which are usually gotten off by home people in response to visitors. P. G. Cooper, the attorney, was the master of ceremonies, and there was no time wasted in preliminaries. The opening number was the presentation of a gavel commemorative of the 33 consecutive years in which <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/louis-kossuth-atwood--hinds-co">L. K. Atwood</a> has been the head of the order. This address was delivered by A. D. Bell, for a long time an active assistant in the headquarters at Jackson. It was full of prophecy for the glorious future which she predicted. The response of <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/louis-kossuth-atwood--hinds-co">L. K. Atwood</a> was full of pathos. He assured his audience that he would not wield this gavel as long as he had done so, but that in future as in the past he would keep in mind that it was the emblem of the authority of the council and not any personal tribute to him. Perry W. Howard made a notable address, which was well responded to by Virgil L. Reuben, known far and wide as the "black diamond." The address of Rev. E. R. Twine, pastor of the Farish Street Baptist Church, was notable in many ways. The response by Rev. King R. Brown of Port Gibson brought down the house. The welcome to the homes of the city by the wife of <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/louis-kossuth-atwood--hinds-co">L. K. Atwood</a> was really a classic which produced a profound sensation. It was responded to by L. J. Walker of Vicksburg, one of the veterans of the order. W. J. Latham on the part of the lawyers and the response of Prof. E. H. McKissack were two entertaining numbers. The welcome on the part of the business men of J. R. Chambless and the response by T. A. Dickson, both of Jackson, were well received. The solos of Z. T. Hubert and A. Cook were especially well rendered. The orchestra and choir of the church rendered appropriate and well selected numbers. The committee on laws and the revision of the laws met today and adopted the body of the law with a few important changes, which tend to make equal the benefits derived under the various forms of policies. The Jacobs have for years followed the plan of paying only what they collect, dividing the proceeds of the collections for the month among the beneficiaries of such as have died. Under this rule the policies paid by the order have ranged all the way from $400 to $850, but they have always been promptly met. The order has never had to scale or cut any admitted claim. Its amendments make it impossible for a member who is entitled to a smaller sum to get a larger than another who is of superior right in point of time. The session this morning was devoted to hearing the reports of the various officers, that of C. N. Miller detaining the payment of some $120,000 in death benefits during the biennial period taking quite half of the time. The report of <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/george-william-butler--sharkey">George W. Butler</a>, supreme secretary, followed. The annual address of <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/louis-kossuth-atwood--hinds-co">L. K. Atwood</a>, supreme master, will take place this afternoon. This is usually an interesting proceeding. A large number of delegates reached the city yesterday afternoon and last night. Among them are Rev. R. T. Simms, former president of the Baptist State Convention; Daniel Webster of Rolling Fork, and Ella Dade of Muskogee, Okla. The memorial exercises will take place tonight at Farish Street Baptist Church. A number of very interesting things will be done. <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/george-william-butler--sharkey">Geo. W. Butler</a> will read the list of the dead of the year, some 214 in number. The invocation will be by Rev. E. O. Woolfolk, pastor of the Methodist Church. Rev. E. P. Jones of Vicksburg will deliver the sermon, while remarks on the lives of the individual dead will be made by <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/louis-kossuth-atwood--hinds-co">L. K. Atwood</a>, C. N. Miller, H. H. Lowe and others. The music will be under the direction of Dr. D. W. Turner. Prof. J. C. J. Wiggins will have the violin and Sadie Folsom the piano. The local committee in charge of the various functions has on it C. C. Simms, John W. Hair, Joe Smith, T. A. Dickson, W. J. Latham, T. J. Harris, H. B. Dickson and W. P. Thomas. The roll call this morning showed an attendance very close to the high water mark for the past five years.

Mr. <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/george-william-butler--sharkey">Butler</a> was born in Port Gibson, Miss., May 1, 1855. He removed to Vicksburg when 11 years old, together with his parents, where he attended the public schools until 1871, when he received from the state a free scholarship in the Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College, near Rodney, Miss. He remained a student there until May, 1875, when he was graduated with honors. He then taught school in Warren and Rankin counties until 1877, when he became a citizen of Sharkey county. He was elected assessor of his county in 1880 and to represent Sharkey in the lower house of the legislature in 1884-90, and at present is serving his third term of four years in that body. He has been honored by the speaker of the present house with an appointment on the committee on levees, one of the most important in the house, and is secretary of the committee on federal relations and a member of the public education. He is a member of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias, and being a modest, unobtrusive gentleman, he has made many friends among both races.
