The Ledger man, Hop" Johnson
charges the APPEAL city editor with carry
ing off, With force of arms, copy of the
bible from the Ledger office. The charge is not
exactly correct; but, if it had been, it would
onIy show that the APPEAL never had be-
come convinced that spreading the gospel IN
the Ledger Office was an lmposslblllty. Inc
heathens of the Ledger office are good men
gone wong on the Darwin and Bob lnger-
soil theories as to tie past, present and
future.
An indignant correspondent writes as
follows: cat the postofice every Sunday
morning there is push and a scramble to
get to the box. Some men act more like
fools than men and elbow themselves through
the crowd up to the box ike they were ex-
pecting a letter containing ten thousand dol
lars. The best thing Mrs. R. A. Thompson
can do will be to have railing put around
those boxes, so gentlemen can get their let
ters without being insulted by the rough
crowd that eataars around the postothce
every Sunday morning"
AT six o'clock yesterday morning a fire

wn,Sn o bl,e" Mr. ', H." Celia, barkeeper'
and Mr.. John Carroll, steward, W..
ened, and they, with buckets of water, man
aged to exiinguish the fire before it could
spread throughout the house. The occu-
pants of the adjoining building were alarmed
and no little commotion ensued.

-Oxford (Miss) Falcon " Memphis,
from its nearness and accessibility, is the
natural trading point for north Mississippi.
Her water and railroad facilities bring
freights almost down to nominal figures,
which enable business men of that place to
successfully compete IN prices with any OF her
sister cities who depend upon southern trade:
Her vitality and recuperative powers evlnced
since the late terrible plague Is wonderful
proof of the never say die pluck and enter
prise of her citizens and business men, and
for this, if for no other reason, she deserves
the support and patronage OF all sections
within easy reach. Mississippi having no
city of her own, Memphis is as nearly identi-
fed with her as with Tennessee. and now
when she is Just out of an epidemic that cost
hundreds of lives and thousands of dollars,
that paralyZed her business interests IN every
channel and lost her months of legitimate
trade; now when she Is coming from out the
valley of the shadow of death, struggling to
regain her old position, let Mississippi, and
especially north Mississippi, lend her help
ing hand, give her the trade that legitimately
belongs to her, and render her the support
and patronage that she SO much stands In
need of and so richly deserves"
Stack Lee, the popular commander of
the Geo. W. Cheek, has much to do to keep
his friends-that is every body-straight.
Last trip a certain one of the editorial profess
sion was passenger, and during the trip
Through the city, got unusually full. Stack
found him and took him aboard to
carry him home. During the voyage down
the river a man afflicted with dellrlum ire
mems, jumped overheard, and was barely res
cued from watery grave. Stack, wishing
to impress his new paper friend with the
evil results of looking on the wine when 1t Is
red, ETC., said to him: ''See here, Kirk, you
were Just snatched from a watery grave.
You said your name was Jones, and all of
animals were after you; over
board you went, and but for one of my deck
ers you would have been mermaid sweet
heart, or some other water fowl; now go to
bed and stay there until go 10 Friars Point. -"
1.-The HI" says the rural editor; ''if all
tkat happened, how the HI did my clothes
get dry SO quick?" Stack is never wanting
for reply TO bothersome questions, and told
him that his paper was so absorbed in the
oil-seed question that water wouldn't stuck.
The rural gentleman unused awhile, and
fnally said: Stack, | guess you had better
give me stateroom, and put one of the bell
boys at each door so | can't get out again.
