traveller, visited Holly Springs recently, and
while here tried to victimize the Bank OF
Holly Springs TO the tune of $50, but the
cashier could not see it, and Mr.. Glass went
on his way, not, however, till he succeeded
in obtaining loan of SO from one of our
prominent merchants. We learn that he got
Green's Bank, of jackson, for $50, and Mr..
L. G. Lea, of Senatobia, for so %. He is a
dead-beat. and should be passed around by
the press"
Our city was visited by heavy rain and
thunder-storms on Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday nights, doing immense damage to
the crops. The weather throughout the
week has been wet, and exceedingly cold for
this season of the year. 1t is feared that
our cotton plants have been seriously in
