MONTICELLO, Miss, March 2, 1898.
The rain was very heavy last night
and we expect another boom in Pearl
river. The rains of last week swelled
all the streams to overlooking, and
several bridges were destroyed OF
crippled.
The Steamer Earl visited us again
last Saturday, going as high up as
Smiths ferry; good river is making
her regular visitor, which adds very
much to our freight conveniences.
Messrs Dale and Banks, editors of
the Pearl River News, were passengers
on the Earl, and took in the sights of
Monticello on Saturday.
Supervisors and Chancery Courts
are both to be i'll session here to-day,
and but little for either.
Mr.. ID. w. Cannon of Claiborne
County, and ex-Sheriff of this county,
is among us visiting relatives and
friends. He expresses himself highly
pleased with farming and says he
wouldn't give it for any of the offices.
He has fine plantation in Claiborne
county, which he is said to manage
nicely and as satisfactorily as he did
the Sheriff's office.
Miss Rhoda Carr, of Covington
county, has just come into our COM
munity, for the purpose of taking
charge of Halls Greek school. We
welcome her and hope her sojourn
will be q pleasant one.
A negro boy about IL years of age
was placed in Jail here on Saturday
evening, for numbering a negro girl
on Friday last. We have failed to
learn any names, but both parties
lived near Mr.. jeff Burkett The girl,
we learn, was only about six years old,
and the boy crushed her skull with an
AK just because she displeased him in
some way. Afterkilling her, he CARR
ed her some forty or fifty yards, and
covered her body with leaves and
rubbish. When he was arrested, he
fought like tiger, and since his in
generation he makes much noise, and
yells occasionally for "more" food.

NOTES FROM JOHNSTON STATION.

On last Sunday morning The news
reached Johnston Station that the Lpgis-

were at home the day it was circulated
here, and there were only three absent
who was deprived Of the privilege Of
signing it.
Our school closed last Friday night.

his patrons. They were 50 well pleased
with him that they employ ed him to con

the most talented Young men ever met.
At the close of his examination we called
on the Professor for an address His
subject was the progress of the Sonth
dnring the last % years, and his eloquence
and Oratory would equal that of Col.
Hooker. This being the Young mans

to believe that he would he u second La

for, being raised poor orphan boy, with

cate himself and is now teaching school
to pay his own tuition. He is the irac hcl
