Foolish Talk.

The venue of the case of the
Shaws for the murder of Gen. Tuck.
er, had been changed from Chick.
asaw county to Pontotoc. They
are father and son, Dick, the son,
has been tried and acquitted.
Old Reub. Davis, the celebrated
criminal lawyer, defended him. 1t
is probable that the jury that tried
aud acquitted was weak rather
than corrupt. Intelligent people
are generally astounded at the
verdict. A more cowardly and
dastardly murder of a good man
was never committed on the cast
ern border of the State. II stands
out conspicuous for premedltation
and atrocity. The evidence was
mainly circumstantial, but conclu-
sive of the guilt of the Shaws.
They murdered Gen. Tucker, and
Dick Shaw fred the gun. After
this mockery of a trial and acquit-
nj it ought to be lawful for any
friend of Gen. Tucker to shoot him
down wherever ound.-Meridian

Three Kinds Of Shoes.

Nothing can be so injurious to

and producing one of the greatest
plaques of life, eorns, or worse
still, buniOns. Young children
should invariably wear straight
shoes, with elastic waists as
they are called, giving full play to
the muscles, and which in adults
permit the wearer to walk long
distances without fatigue. If heels
are used at all, they should be low.
There are three kinds of boots and
shoes: those that are made pure

any consideration as to fashion;

How Not To DO It.
Commercial lIerald.1 !

say that the Board of Supervisors
are not to blame for the failure to
get up Warren county exhibit

the whole fault upon the commit.
tee. We do not concur in this
opinion, because we know that
the Board of Supervisors lost four
or five months of valuable time
before appointing committee at
all, and the President of the Board
being Chairman of that Committee,
we know that he has persistently
refused to call 1t together, though
he has been appealed to by other
members to do so. Our cores.
pondent shows in his letter that he
is thoroughly familiar with the

splendid display if not cursed with

But We might learn many benef-

ins. The Texan works to accumu-

erring swamper accumulates to
spend, borrows to spend, sells his
future labor to his creditors, his
debts overwhelm him, his energy

neglects his land, wastes his OPP

families consume. His crop of
cotton, or wheat, as it may be, is
profit. He needs no advancing
merchant, sells his own produce,
trades his own surplus cattle,
horses, mules, hogs, etc. with his
neighbor who has what he re-
quires.
The farmer there cultivates not
more than six to eight acres III
cotton-ten to twelve in corn, to
the hand. He works it well and
constantly gathers his cotton
close and clean, thereby COM
manding fair prices - still, with
closest attention and favorable
weather, from three-fourths to a
bale of cotton, or thirty-iive to
forty bushels of corn, per acre, is
considered a fair yield.
1t is well known that our lands
with the same labor will yield from
a bale and a half to two bales, and
from fifty to seventy-fve bushels
of corn per acre. We have supe.

According to the Signal Service
officers report Octobr 18th is the
average date of the falling of frost
