Weekly issue dated November 21 1889 from Mrnnkhacen Peeteilien describes a new sew of class analytic material.
A telegram from Fort Scott railroad officials announces their approach to Franklin County and Brookhaven. Citizens and leaders are urged to extend hospitality and discuss railroad matters. a mix of local politics and public notes follow, including health, legal, and civic topics.
The piece critiques anti-convention supporters arguing racial issues. It mocks their stance on runout of Black people and immigration to Kansas, while praising carpetbagger sympathies. It also targets Mrs J Ellen Foster and the W C T U revealing party loyalties and alleged connections to liquor interests and the Harrison era politics.
The piece laments Jackson as Mississippi’s capital, recounts a history of Republican dominance, postwar reform, and crimes of the era, and urges a NO vote to oust the McGill ring. It links the Mills Company and Methodist College prospects in Wesson to economic influence and capital relocation.
Advocacy argues Wesson offers superior access and resources for a new male college. Proponents cite proximity to Whitworth College, strong churches, prohibition in real estate, and readiness of local mills, lumber, sand, brick, and rail access to attract students and support endowment.
The article argues that support for a constitutional convention in Mississippi predates current politicians. It notes a 2 to 1 legislature vote, Governor overreach, and rising advocacy from county conventions and state leaders. It claims the people, not Gee or Walthall, started the movement, with state alliances and campaigns rallying behind it.
A local appeal urges Brookhaven to back Wesson in securing the Methodist College site. Citizens have pledged $25,000 with further funds expected as Mississippi Militia support grows. The piece argues Brookhaven benefits from proximity, population, and trade boosts, touting twin educational centers and county prosperity while urging active town backing and a civic meeting push. It also notes unrelated notices about library reports, Edwards House hotel praise, and New Orleans Picayune subscriptions.
