Political endorsements and veteran home appeal in Mississippi
The Eagle lists A C Anderson of Ripley as a Democratic candidate for Congress in Mississippi's Second District and reaffirms B G Lowrey's bid for re election. It extols Elnathan Tartt of Beauvoir and urges county boards to donate 1000 each for the Old Soldiers Home, praising Mississippi counties for supporting veterans and reflecting on the Civil War legacy. The piece lauds Tartt and the Beauvoir home as well managed and urges continued support for veterans and widows.
