Shooting Affair.

DR.. VIM. Weathersby, of the Fair River
neighborhood, was dangerously wounded
by a charge from a double-barrel shot gun
Saturday night near Shady Grove Church
in the Southern portion of this county, by
man named De Witt Rollins, We learn
that Rollins says he was under the impress
sion that DIR. Weathersby was approach
ing his house for the purpose of attacking
him, there having been bad blood between
them previously, and that he has since
sworn out an affidavit to this effect against
Weathersby and John Conn, whom he
charges with accompanying Weathersby
with the same intent. The matter will
under 60 investigation in due time. a
The charge of buck-shot from Rollins
gun entered Weathersby's left wrist aud
thigh, and DIR. Bennett, who dressed his
wounds, informs us that he is now doing
well, and that unless gangrene sets in,
there is every hope for his recovery.

Neadyilie Notes.
MEANWHILE, June 21st, 1893.

MEANWHILE, June 21st, 1888.
Two days without rain in Franklin
county. -. .f...f.. r4-
Farmers are having a serious tussle with
the grass, many crops are seriously dam
aged by wet weather and the want OF
work. 1t is to be hoped that the weather
NAV be more propitiOus i'll the future and
give the farmers chance. ......
The weather is excessively hot, but no
sickness yet of any note.
Politics seems to be thing of the past.
A few candidates have announced their
names and thereby manifest q Willingness
to sacrifice themselves Tor the good of the
dear people. r. j. Williams and ID. S.
Butler are announced for Sheriff; L. }.
Scott and w. ii. Wentworth for Chancery
Clerk; Z. C.. Adams for Circuit Clerk, and
Capt. K X. Webb for Representative. No
doubt there are others whose minds are
good deal exercised on the subject of the
GOOD of the people, who will be found
willing to make similar sacrifices before
the election comes OFF in November.
The Patrick Debating Society had pub
lie discussion here on Saturday night last.
The subject for debate: sis the hope of re-
ward a greater incentive TO action than
the fear of punishmentp The discussion
was highly creditable, both sides being
well sustained. The chair decided in IA
vor of the affirmative. The debators were
mostly new beginners aud deserve credit
for the manner in which they acquitted
themselves. Give VS. another entertain
ment soon, boys, we like it,.
Monroe Lea, the would-be burglar of
Newman's store, stole n mule from one of
the neighbors to facilitate his escape. He
was pursued and captured at Wesson. lilo
was brought back and arraigned before
Esq. MeDariel ON two charges, one for
pleaded guilty to both charges, and was
politely requested to find bail in the sum
of $500 in each case for his appearance at
Circuit Court. Failing to comply with
this modest request, be is now in daraace

since, said il mattered not what an OH
ciafs integrity might be, the railroads, to
use \ ccnmon expression, always censidei
that they ''have him where the hair i
short" the moment they get free pas
into bis pocket. IL is getting TO be we'll
nigh q hopeless undertaking for a private
individual TO go to law with railroad aud
get justice of the courts. OF oil the Judges
in Mississippi, including the three who
sit upon the Supreme Bench, there are on
ly two who do not carry free passes in
their pockets, and ono of the three Supreme
Judges, so ho had been reliably informed,
had gone 50 far as TO demand pass from
the railroad authorities for his family to
take a summer trip. The fact is, the MINI
Der of dead-heads is growing so large, and
the percentage of this class of passengers
so great, the same railroad man already
quoted had also stated that i'm view OF this
fact, many of the railroad men themselves
are seriously thinking of shutting down
on this free pass business, as they would
then find it cheaper to buy what official
influence they need outright and pay
the cash.
He paid an eloquent and we'll deserved
tribute to the intellect, capabilities and
influence of woman, aud warmly advOca-
ted State University for girls. ..
Our report is necessarily imperfect, but
we have given a general outlinerof tie
speakers remarks. There was nothing
whatever of dogmatism about his style,
and he was anything else than the ua-
Gagged lion of "a demagogue and EXTREMIST
whom, from some previous accounts, we
had half expected tO'meet. There was
nothing about his speech, We thought
which would warrant harsh and unfrieDdly
criticism, -nothing which should not
be considered the subject of free aud le-
Ultimate discussion, and orr regret is that
it was not heard by every man in the
county. Capt. Darden is devoted to the
cause in which he is enlisted, is an able,
we'll informed gentleman who knows the
needs of the farmers and the disadvanta-
ges under which they labor, and his
speeches will accomplish good wherever he
goes.
Capt. Darden did moi state who the two ex-
captions are, but we happen to know. on the
best of authority. that Judge J. d. Chrisman. OF
this district, is one, end the State Ledger, which
makes the same statement, also says that Judge
TT Wharton, of the 9th,is another. This makes
two and no room left for anybody else. But as
will be seen by reference to their open letter in
another column, the Supreme Judges have risen
and demanded the author Of the ST teme at about
a family pass.-EDIToR LEADER.

ADDRESS.


Since have been connected with this
Institution l have endeavOred to impress
the young ladies with the fact that the
humblest domestic duty is not iroompati-
BILE with refinement and culture; and to en-
courage them in keeping their rooms in
order, l offered medals as rewards, and
these young ladies won them by their in
dustry and neatness.
Young ladies, while urge you to culti-
vate your minds that you may be elevated
in thought and sentiment, / also urge you
to remember that a woman Tulfills her
highest DESTINY when she makes her home
attractive, a place where her brothers,
husband or sons gladly seek refuge from
the "maddening worlds ignoble strife" Let
me bid you remember that Soloman said,
"a wise woman buildeth her house, and a
foolish one plucketh it down with her
hands. She worketh willingly with her
hands and eateth not the bread of idle
ness.n
