A SERIES of papers by Mr.. T. B. Aldrich,
several of which have appeared In the At
lantic Monthly, will soon be published by
Houghton, Mif1in & Co., in volume bear
ing the odd title, "From Ponkapog to
Pesth." Ponkapog is little village not far
from Boston, where Mr.. Aldrich has his
country home, and Pesth forms the Ultima
Thule of his journey; and between these two
points the author finds numberless pictu-
rescue scenes and odd adventures and char
acters to describe in his charming way.

Well, should say SO. Aft began

see gentlemen come across the street
at all hours, get paper from him
without a word, and walk away, not
Offering to pay. Those are his regu-
lar customers, and he has hundreds

"A dainty little girl of eight or nine,
with dangerous big eyes, appeared in

Where he Kept His Revolver.

Evansville Argus.
A travelling man writing from Buff
falo to the Commercial Travellers
Journal gives an account of how two
men sought to rob a drummer out
west. They didn't rob him quite as
much as they thought they would.
His name was Fisher. aud he was
making a trip out through the west
ern country, where if reckless men
ever caught a drummer In safe place
and could get the drop on him, they
were pretty certain of a good haul, as
the victim always had money. Fisher
had left the hotel and had wandered
down a little creek to enjoy the fresh
air, and had nesred a little clump of
trees.
Two men were sitting under the
trees watching his needless approach.
As he got within few PAGES of them
they suddenly jumped up and one of
them leveled long navy revolver and
told the commercial traveller to hold
up his hands. Fisher was probably
the most astonished man i'm the state
at that moment. His knees smote to-
gether while he seemed to grow short
er-sink into himself as it were-the
perfect picture of fright. His hands,
however, went about that shiuy plug |
hat instantly. He was not too badly |
scare1 to listen to persuasion. but
there they trembled and waved up and
down anu bobbed like a sycamore leaf
in a gale of wind. 1t was c,mical
sigh. to see them, limp and whiten,
around through space of
half foot or more. The bri gand
thought so too, and could not help
raising his eve from his pistol to look !
at them. Fisher, through his half
closed eyelids, saw the movement of
the robbers eyes and then that rrem-
bling hand seemed to fash down be-
hind the tall black hat and hack again,
with glistening something IN ii.
There Were two reports as the hand
came down before, instead OF behind,
the plug hat The highwayman threw
up his hands and sank hack with q
bullet hole between his eyes, while The
tall shining plug rolled of the back of
Fishers head with a clean cut across
The crown, where the bullet from the
ong navy had ploughed its way.
The other robber obeyed gruff or
Ter to hold up his hands with an slac-
rity born of excellent judgment, for
Fisher had lost that wild look and had
lrawn a bead on that chap that meant

BUSINESS.

Beginning with the first issue of THE
LEADER, we have been sending the paper
regularly to number of persons in Lin
coin, Lawrence, Copiah, Franklin and
Pike counties, who have never request
ed it.
All such persons have seen by this time
what the paper is and is likely to be. We
now request that all those who do not in
tend to become regular subscribers, win at
once drop us card or otherwise notify us
of the fact, ana the paper will be promptly
discontinued, though we hope to retain
them all.
THE LEADER has established itself here
to become permanent institution of the
county, identified with all it's interets; and
while we can afford to indulge few snb-
scrbers through the dull summer months
while money is scarce, it shall not be the
rule of this Office to send out papers on u
credit. No publisher can long do business
npon such basis and prosper.
We have received many encouraging
words since we began, and we believe we
are pleasing most of our readers. We do
not expect to please all OF them, nor any
of them all the time; but we wish every
body who will do SO to subscribe, aud
we will do our best to return value receiv-
ed. However, give us notice, as We have
requested, you do not want the paper.

Create o.rt In Franklin.

Circuit Court convened at Meadville
last Monday, Judge Chrisman on the
Bench, and District-Attorney, as usual,
cooking after this interests oftbe State
Very little business was done the first
day, except to organize. The Grand and
Petit Jurors were made up of good repre-
sentative men of the-connty, and viii no
.loubt do good work. Judge Chrisman's
charge to the Grand jury was excellent.
His charge and remarks relative to last
weeks lynching were eminently appropri-
ltes and should be needed by every one
who heard them. The Judge il not the
nan to cringe and pass lightly by such
matters, but has the courage to boldly
tell the people what their true interests de-
mand.
Mr.. +. c. Adams, the clever and accom-
modatng Circuit Clerk, informed us that
there were about sixty cases altogether on
docket at the opening of the Court; about
half of these were minor criminal cases, the
others civil.
A most interesting occasion Monday
afternoon was the presentation to the
county, 10y the people, Of a magnificent
and life-like portrait of Judge Hiram
Cassidy. 1t was delivered ON the part of
the people by Col. T. r. Stock,lale in an
eloquent and beautiful address on the life
and abilities of Franklih's great and gifted
sou, and appropriately received on tie
part of the county by Judge I. A. Magee.
1t was suspended in the Court room
above the Judges desk where it will re-
main az a perpetual token of the honor
and high esteem in which Judge Cassidy
was held by his people, and n continual
reminder to them of his loved and cherish
cd memory.
We enjoyed the pleasure of meeting
many of the solid men of the
county and greatly regretted that business
engagements at home made it necessary TO
hurry off Tuesday morning without meet
ing many others whom We desired to
know.
The demand upon our space prevents
our giving a moro extended notice of
Franklin affairs in this issue. Next week
we hope to lay before our readers in that
county, full report of the business dis
posed of by the Court.
The road from here to Mosdville is q
long and rough one, but the trip was
greatly shortened both ways by our being
permitted to stop and share the old fash
toned Southern hospitality of Judge Thos.
A. Magee and his excellent wife who re
side at McCall's Creek.
