A Leading Merchant Assassinated

0syKA, Miss, Aug. 1s.-Dr. w. F.
Simmons, an ex.member of the legisla-
ture, and one Of our largest merchants,
was shot this morning at his store, twelve
miles m lies east e. Of here, by Lee Hinson. !. The
months. DR.. Simmons took very de-
cided stand against the practice OF reg
ulating or bulldozing that has been going
on in his neighborhood, and in this way
incurred the enmity of several in that
section. This morning Hinson and some
OF his friends came to the store, and
after few words drew his pistol and
shot DR.. Simmons twice The first ball
entered his side, the other struck him in
the back. The wounds are pronounced
fatal, but at this hour he is still alive.
Hinson and two others were arrested and
taken to Magnolia jail. AS both parties
have large family connections it is feared
there will be more bloodshed.

THE DESTRUCTIVE RAINS.
Great Damage to Property and Crops.

The heavy rains that fell in Grenada
all day Monday, commenced at New Or
leans, on the Gulf coast, Sunday, and was
accompanied by a very disastrous gale of
wind. According to the dispatches of
the Goth, great damage was done in New
Orleans, and along the river front. "Sev-
eral buildings were unroofed, fences were
thrown down, trees were uprooted, and
the coal fleet Of the Pittsburg and South
ern combination suffered severely. Fifty
boats are known to have been lost. They
we're valued at IS, 900 each. The Louis
vile s. Nashville and Illinois Central
trains were detained by wsshouts. Great
damage has been to the rice and sugar.
cane crops. Telegraph wires are prostra.
ted in every direction. There has been
no communication with outside points
since 8 So,clock p. m. on Sunday. The
city was in darkness Sunday night. The
electric light plant was shut down on ac-
count of the contact Of the electric light
wires with telephone and telegraph
wires." Sunday great damage was done
at Mobile and intermediate points be-
tween there and New Orleans, The
storm did not stop on the coast, but came
laundering along south, central and north
Mississippi, Tennessee, and other States,
damaging crops, fences and railroads, and
flooding the country with perfect waste
of water.
In Grenada county it wrapped and
twisted the cotton in every direction,
and left the young corn especially. fiat
on the ground, pointing in different dis
rsctions, and much damage has accrued
all over the country, as we learn from
farmers who were in town since. 1t
would take millions Of dollars to replace
the damage this equinoxial storm did
all over the country.

In Arkansas there is an agricultural
organization known as the Wheel. We
suppose it to be somewhat similar to the
Alliance Of this State. In some of the
counties of the State some of the bosses
have been trying to force the organiza.
ton into politics. Several of the Wheels
have surrendered their charters rather
than submit. They say they Joined the
Wheel as an agricultural not rs a polit-
ical organization. They are indisputably
correct in that position. We have eeen
many good orders Of that character ruined
by being plunged into politics by selfish
and ambitious leaders.-Vicksburg

found that there is no Harrison money

Capt. Miller was in the James Hotel
when Democrat bet $1,000 to $500, fol-
lowing that with $1,000 to 500, and these
two bets having been "put up" the
Democrat offered to 90 on by laying
$1,000 to $2500 on Cleveland, when the
Republican weakened.

Not content with having formed a
trust which controls the eastern -four
markets, the St. Louis Millers' associ-
alton has called meeting of millers in
all winter wheat growing States for the
avowed purpose of forming a combi-
nation to regulate the price Of wheat aud
the output Of -four. And thus we see
the ball rolling, gathering strength aud
courage every day, and at the present
rate it will not be long before the farmers
who raise the wheat and the consumers
of the -four will be brought face to face
with the necessity for pooling their is
sues, and joining might to might, to
crush out the system which permits COM
binations to speculate in the nece.sarie.
of life. Will the laboring masses, farmer.
and all, take heed and organize?
