Annie May was accompanied by her sis ter Beitie, another esteemed little friend. May they never know aught but happiness an l prosperity and al- ways be surrounded by true, loving friends.
 The Atkins News complains that the town has not supported one paper. and cannot understand why any one should want to establish another, as current report says will be done. Why, bless your clever soul, Bro. Gill, you ought not complain, for, while it is true you may not have made fortune with your paper, it is the paper that has made the towT, and you ought to glean some satisfaction from that thought. 1t isno use to deny the fact that news papers, no matter how small or seem- ingly uninfluential they may be, are all-powerfull in their influence in build ing up both town and country. So "keep stiff upper lip," Bro. Gill, and forge ahead, and the News will come out all right,
 Ut having been asserted that so many indictments were found at the last term of the Pope Circuit Court that the coun- ty has been put to great expense and scrip depreciated in consequence there. of. we have taken a little trouble to procure the following facts and figures, which are presented to our readers, with the request that each judges foI himself which side the balance is on.

At the last term of the court, there were three convictions for felony and seventy-nine for misdemeanors. Now, our readers will naturally ask: If the court pays expenses and pays balance of 1885 into the county treasury, why is it that scrip is depreciatins in value {?
