Milton Mobiles and his artistic COM
pany gave at Robinson's Opera House,
last Wednesday night, a fine presen-
tation of the "Phenix," a play writ
ten by Mr.. Mobiles himself. ana in
which he personates the leading char
acter. Mr.. Mobiles has made consid-
cradle reputation in the past with the
citizens of our State, which in his last
visit he added to. AS an actor, he is
easy, natural, true to life, rising occa-
sionally-when the part demands it
to the highest point Of expression,
with voice, eye, gesture and general
"stage business" All through the
play genius and Tun are constantly
bubbling up. The secret of its popu-
larity is found in the fact that it is
thoroughly and intensely American.
Nothing is borrowed from the "British
Drama" and every scene, incident and
character is racy to our own American
soil. We can't go into criticism of
the several characters, but we must be
permitted to say that Max Fehrmona,
in the role of Noses SolOniOns, who is
"the Jew that Mobiles drew" was an
emphatic success. Miss Fannie Lewis
Blunt, as Effie Gilmore, played her
part elegantly and won laurels, and
made many friends. Upon the whole,
ii was a grand success.

On Saturday night, between eight
and nine o'clock, difficulty occurred
in our town, in which white man
named Mr.. Bob Price was severely cut
with razor by an unknown negro 1t
appears that an alteration occurred
between the negro and white boy
named Willie Hudnall. Mr.. Price in
terfered on behalf Of the boy, when
the negro without any further provo
cation assaulted him with a razor, in
flicting a severe wound across the alb
domen, from the effects of which he is
now in precarious condition. The
negro escaped, and although his name
is not known, the authorities are con-
fident that they will soon have him
in custody. Mr.. Price was taken to
his home>at Wess5n, and 80 far we
have not learned whether he will re-
cover or not.-Brookhaven Democrat.

An unfortunate encounter occurred
at Ledbetter's Drug Store Thursday

Hough were Immediately called in,
extracted the ball and dressed
the wound. Neither one of the be-
ligerents, dreamed Of difficulty three
minutes before it began, and we ven-

cerned are satisfied, and consider it a
matter of self-congratulation that it
turned out no more seriously than IL
did. AS yet, there has been no judi

There lies in the Treasury Depart
ment to-day fourteen hundred thou
sand dollars of unclaimed interest on
Government bonds. The sum is get.
ting larger every day. This seems
strange but 1t is true. This vast sum Of
money, or much Of IL can be drawn
by simply applying for 1t by whoever
Is entitled to It and has the registered
bond on which the interest Is due and
not paid. There are thousands Of per-
sons who have bought bonds and not
knowing how to get the interest on
them, prefer to loose the same rather
than to expose the fact that they have
the bonds. Others have interest due
them and actually forget the fact, and
IL lies in the Treasury vaults waiting
for them to apply for It. Should one
Of the Clerks Of the bond division in
form a person to whom interest it due
of the fact, and the same he discover
ed, he would be instantly discharged.

A WESTERN APOLOGY.
An Editor Wisely Concludes 10 DO the
Fair Thing by a Fiddler.


This is our first experience in run
ming Il newspaper. Little did we
think when we placed our name in the
Clarion as the responsible person for
the matter that happened to find its
way into these columns that any
thing would ever happen that we
would have to take back or have a
head put on US. The item which APP
peared about one professor" Gerbert
playing the "Arkansaw Traveller"
around the street corners of Kearney
for cold biscuits and slack and sour
barley water has got to be apOloglzed
for. Last Wednesday, when we were
going along one OF the principal
streets of the county seat, in company
with several friends, there suddenly
appeared before our gaze the SANDER
ed professor. He commenced the con-
versation by saying he had not been
given his dinner by servant girl at
the back door, and thought he would
make a lunch of the writer. We en-
tered a protest, but to no use. He
claimed he was four hundred miles
from home, both heels run over, and
all wool and yard wide, warranted
neither to rip nor ravel, and had kill
ed enough editors to make a corduroy
road from Lookout Mountain to Puget
Sound. He unbottoned his coat, gent
ly placing his hand in his hip pocket,
he calmly gave us our chance between
a retraction and having our carcass
shot full of bullet holes. AS the
thoughts rapidly traversed our mind
about having our remains sent to an
aged and loving mother, looking like
the top seive of tanning mill. and
our death as we thought of another
person who holds warranty deed of
four sections of our heart town 6,
range ID, and the idea Of being shot
by second-class, one-horse, crank
fiddler, was more than we could |
st9pI. Hence ihe apology.

The "Callithumpians" is a secret
order of ladies in Jackson. How did
the ladies ever think OF such an out
landish name for their order? To call
a Jackson lady a Callithumpian"
would seem to us to be about as great
an affront as OConnel, Ireland's
greatest patriot, offered to the Dublin
lady when he called her "Hectagon."
We thought the "Pickwarbebens," Of
Brookhaven, had beaten Banagher in
getting up a name, but we believe
the "Callithumpians have carried of
the palm.-Crystal Springs Monitor.
You are correct. "The Callithum-
plans" take the rag of Of the bush.

what Cotton Factories would Save
90 the south.

"A factory man" has written a
letter 10 the Newman Herald, giving
his estimate of the amount which
would be saved to the South by manu-
featuring cotton at home from the
seed. He puts down the total saving
at Sss, O00, 900 annually, as follows I:
Saving in bagging and ties, 81, 0oO, 600 /;
in ginning, 5000, 900; beating and
loosing cotton for the cards, s. .0OO, 900 !:
in freight, sI2,Oo0,000. He says fur
ther: "The furnishing Of SO, 90, 600
annually for ten years would build fac
tories enough In the South 70 manu-
facture our entire cotton crop; besides
Il would double the value Of the raw
material, adding to our wealth annu-
ally $500, 600, 900 and Increasing the
value Of lands and other property as
much more.
