gThe practice on the part of the
retiring governor of transmitting q
message to the legislature appears to
have become chronic. The excuse
given for it is that the retiring COVER
nor "knows it ALL" and sheds infor.
nation from every pore, while his
successor is presumably ignorant of
many things which ought to be
brought to the attention OF the legisla-
ture. AS matter of fact the first
messages of Governors Proctor and
III "na"i Vv'Vrvu rvcry IuIpUrIa III
point mentioned by their retiring pre-.
decessors. Anyone who compares the
messages of Governor Farnham and
Governor Barstow cannot fail to sec
how fully and satisfactorily the latter
treats everything mentioned by tho
former that is worth mentioning. II
is to be hoped that Governor Barstow
and his successors will give the newly
elected governors credit for brains
enough to study up and present the
conditions and needs of the state TO the
legislature, and drop the custom of is.
suing retiring message. So much
reading matter of that kind is not
wanted in these days when first.class
novel can be bought for ten cents.

Mr.. EDITOR:-
Something more than two years since
expressed to u. ID. Twitchell, the adj
ministratOr OF N. Harris' cstatc, tho great
dissatisfaction thst we, as neighbors,
felt in regard to the way the Park
House was run, and about the crowd of
loungers and rum.drinking loafers
about there, etc. He said he felt worse
about the way matters were there than
any of the neighbors did, but that il had
been beyond his control; "but now" he
said, 81 can control it, and you will
soon see a change" can truthfully
say we have, and it has been with great
pleasure that we have noted il. Imme.
diately after Mrs. Bstchelder took the
place change was perceptible. By
her extreme good management she has
succeeded in filling the house with first
class boarders and is getting along adj.
mirably, and we feel that she is Jcsery.
lug very much credit. During the time
OF these changes our friend, Ii. L. SheI.
don, has had his keen eye upon the
property and eompspeea obitdliali ng 6ag
raised in his offers hundred dollars a
and Re is better satisfied today with
his purchase than he would have been
a year ago with the $500 off, mainly on
account of the improved condition of
the place and feeling Of the people in
regard to 1t. II is fine location and a
very firmly built house. With Mr.. S.
to fix up the place and Mrs. b. to keep
the house, we feel confident of their
success, and we congratulate them.

1-To judge from the number and
character of the bills IN reference to the
tax law introduced in the Legislature
thus far, the that will at least not
he weakened to any great extent.
One bill introduced provides a penalty
of from. $50 to $40, 900, or Imprisonment
from six months to three years for
willfully refusing to make an invento-
ry, and makes it the duty of the states
attorney to prosecute the delinquent,
and in case the states attorney neg.
lects to prosecute after notice he shall
be liable to one thousand dollars fine,

Frank James, the .Bg99t, lasr week is is
thus described in a special dispatch :
The sun was just declining as Major
John N. Edwards, editor of the Sc lalIa
Democrat, lifelong friend of the
James boys, walked up to the front gate
of the governors mansion. He was
accompanied by man a little above
the medium hight, with dark eyes and
brown hair, and who walked triGe
lame. The two entered the yard in
front of the governors residence and
walked right into the office. The GOV.
ernor was in at the time, and to the out
slider it would appear that the whole
action was preconcerted one. Major
Edwards entered the Office first, and as
the man behind him followed the Major
shook hands with the Governor and then
wheeled abou', saying; "Gov. Crit
tenden, allow me to Introduce YOU TO
Frank James" The governor advanc.
ed and accepted the proiIcred hand.
Then Frank unbucklcd his belt, and,
it and his revolver to the gov
ernor, he said: "No living man but me
has had hand ON this revolver since
1861"

a belligcrcnt negro tramp in short o. ae or
the other day. Perceiving from his &C.

house as soon as he had finished gen.

him, she quietly took a revolver from a
drawer in the sewing machine, at which
she was sitting, and held it within the
range of his vision. The negro laughed
and said that he wasn't afraid ola pistol
in any woman's hand, and he was will

replied. 81 put in six cartridges myself
