AROUND TOWN.
Sunday was a rooster.
Mr.. Ben. King. Jr., was in own Monday
Chas. Benedict has returned from Chi
cago.
DIR. and Mrs. johnson are ~sojourning in
the North.
We have had no rain for two weeks and
the dust is terrible.
That long wished for girl baby arrived at
Pat uertermous last week.
Sunday evening is a good time for pleas
ure-seekers TO stir up the dust.
We have several men in this county who
are playing Ben. King in a small way.
Frank Anding was in Town Monday. He
is the only Ben King man we have met.
The Knights of Honor are now called to-
gethor by the snorous sounding OF a triangle.
We learn that Mrs. Evie Copcs, youngest
sister OF Mrs. E. NJ. Bee, is lying at the
point of death.
There is not n bank between New Orleans
and Jackson. Why can't B%rookhaven have
one? 1t is greatly needed.
= The Democratic Executive Committee
will meet here next Saturday. The Chair
man requests the attendance of all mem
bers.
Vote for the nominees for the Legislature.
Let the independents alone. They have
no claims on any sound Democrat, and viii
not get the vote OF que.
Frank Ivy and a negro named Noah
Cotton had a set-to last Saturday evening.
Frank plead guilty before the Mayor, was
fined SO and costs and released.
There will be a joint discussion here next
Monday night between Stands and Myers
and their opponents, Yellowly and Spell
man. Everybody should attend.
Where do the Independent candidates ex-
pect to 81 votes? From the old Republi-
can party, of course. Democrats, true to
their principles, wont touch them.
Mr.. j. S. Schwab, edition of the Edwards
City Item, was here Tuesday, and favored us
with a call. He is making a live paper OF
the Item, and seems to be doing well.
The Democratic Club will meet at the
new Courthouse next Friday night. Let
every Democrat attend who intends to sup
port the Democratic nominees of the State
and county.
Vote for Byrd and Hodges, the Democrat
ic nominees. The man who does not pledge
himself to support the nominees OF the
Democratic party, both State and county,
has no business in the Democratic club.
The independent candidates are disor-
.ganizers and would be obstructionists ii they
could, but they will never obstruct any
Democratic votes going to the Democratic
nominees. Let them wrangle for the Others.
We hear that some OF the lawyers want
Judge Chrisman to hold a special term OF
court here in November, but he has refused.
He says they had a court here last month
and would not try their cases and can now
wait till the January term. The Judge is
right.
S. j. Hodges, Esq, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Representative, was here Monday.
He is making a canvas of the county, and
has been in every beat. A report having
gained currency that he is opposed to the
lien law, we are pleased to state that Mr..
Hodges either favors a change in the law or
its repeal altogether.
Several hundred subscribers time WIS

The LEDGER continued, they will please
call and renew their subscription. Cotton
having opened much earlier this year than
usual. every delinquent subscriber should
pay up this year before cold weather COM
mences.
Cotton is coming in freely. The crop is
pretty we'll all open and more than hall
has been picked out. If the dry weather
continues the crop will soon be housed. 1t
is too late now for rain to do it any good.
The cotton crop in this and adjoining coun-
ties will be as large as it was last year, and
the staple is a great deal better. 1t is sci
