In our Martindale notes last week we
made the statement that Stone 4 Ellison's
gin had turned out 100 bales of cotton
this year. We hnve since met Col Stone
and he informs us that the true figures are
about 1000 bales: he says they have turned
out twenty bales in n single day Mr.. Stone
informs MS that his interest (one-half) in
the gin and mill is for sale, and that he will
take IS. 500 for IT, We also were in error
in stating that Charley Cocreham was in the
grocery business at Martindale. the store is
in charge Of Walter A. his brother.

Father McLoy, of the Catholic
church, lectured in our court house
Tuesday night on practical religion"
without regard to UNCONVENTIONAL
sects. He treated the subject clever
ly, and was much more liberal and
free from dogmatic bigotry than
priests are usually given credit for.
Christianity is a common brother
hood, laboring for the same end, and
if professors would lay aside unrea-
soning prejudice aud compare notes
dispassionately, they will find that,
with the exception of UNCONVENTIONAL
oddities and unimportant and useless
observances, they are not so far
apart after all

A Wonderful Inventor.

Mr.. Hiram Williamson of this town
! is gifted with creative imagination
! that always borders on the horrible,
and he is continually making a SEN
sltion by "monkeying with the truth. !"
Last year this community was thrown
into awe by the report that MIR
johnson living on the other side of
the river had his brains beat out and
was being eaten up by the hogs. II
was totally untrue.
A few months ago Mr.. Williamson
reported that "SmIth shot Smuck,
and be even went SO far as to swear
ont an affidavit before Squire Grow
to have the murderer arrested. Sheriff
Goode and posse of men investi-
gated the case and found matters
even worse than reported. Instead
Of one there were two men dead

This week our Ananias comes TO
the front with another go 'er true tale. ;"
Mr. Cbas. Pierson has been robbed
of suDdry watermelons. He put poi
son in them and the next morning
Banks" Il colored boy, was found
stark stiff in death. An interested
relative of the boy went across the
river to see to giving him first-class
funeral, and the first person he ran
across was "Banks" out in the field
pulling fodder.
1t is all very well to have fun in a
legitimate way, but lightning has
been striking pretty frequently of
late. and we would suggest that Mr..
Williamson take warning from the
Bible story about Ananias and Sap
phira, and try to mend his ways.

it not been for their generosity many
who now have tine prospects would
have gone by the board. This writer.
Notwithstanding his many misfortunes.
such as overhows, winds, hail and
rain, has persevered, and now has
tine prospect for cotton crop. My
corn was severely injured by the six
weeks drouth. Lands that the heavy
batteau passed over during the latter
days of May now have a luxuriant
crop of cotton growing on them.

been debt, and to repay the noble

Sheriff Goode returned from Baton
Rouge yesterday, having a receipt
from the penitentiary warden for the
safe delivery of Ben. Allen, colored,
who goes in to serve life term for
the murder OF VIM. Brown, also col
ored. Before leaving he sent for this
writer, saying he desired to make a
statement for publication in the
CHRONICLE. The sum of his state
ment was that he is an innocent man
wrongfully convicted; that he harbors
no luminosity against the Judge, jury
and district attorney who convicted
him, as he knows they acted con.
scientiously from sense of duty;
but he insists that some of the wit
nesses against him are the bigge st
liars ont Of Jail. All of which goes
to show that Ben has his weather
eye open to getting signatures TO an
application for his pardon.
