Farmerville Gazette: Only ono case will
be taken from this parish to the Supreme
court, which convenes at Monroe on the
10th prox. 1t is the injunction tax suit
entitled v. s. A. Meyer 4 Co. Va. b. F.
Pleasant, sheriff, ct al.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Benoit were the recipi-
ents OF many congratulations Thursday
from their numerous friends upon tho arri-
val at their home on that day of . fine boy
baby. The Telegraph bespeaks for the
young gentleman q safe voyage over the
temptuous sea of babyhood and snbse-
quent useful career.
The Monroe Electric Light Company has
formally accepted the plant put up by the
Van Depoele Electric Light Company in
this city. Mr.. J. II. Andrews. the con-
tractor, for. the plant and his worthy
electrician Mr.. Charles Duncan. who has
had charge Of the plant, left yesterday for
Baton Rouge. Mr.. Laurence Dalton is
now in charge OF the machinery and will
operate 1t in the future.
The surveying corps of the Union and
Northwestern R.R. took the field wednes-
day and will locate the limo from this place
via Farmerville to tho Arkansas line as
rapidly as circumstances will permit. Tie
survey will probably be completed about
the middle of July. Mr.. Jno. II. Richard
sou has charge OF the party under the di-
rection of Maj. Woodbridge, chief engineer,
who will join the corps later.
Deputy Sheriff Cook, of Morehouse, ar
rived in this city Thursday with three
negro prisoners named James Warrington,
James Pleasant and Jimmy Melton, the
latter small boy of only about 10 years Of
age, who are charged with arson In the
burning of the Spyker residence in that
parish some time since, and incarcerated
them in the Jail here, the new Jail at Baa-
trop not yet being completed.
Hon. C. Newton, in his railroad speech
at Oak Ridge, charged "without reaerva-
ton" that the city of Monroe would defeat
the railroad tax in Morehouse parish ifshe
could do SO, and the Richland News pub
fishes what it terms ''s report" to the Same
effect. The Telegraph has no knowledge
OF any such attempt on the part of any in
diyidual in this city and knows that Mon
roe as a whole has not made any such at
tempt. In common justice to Monroe and
her PEOPLE the Telegraph joins the Bulletin
in demanding Of Mr.. Newton his authority
for his statement.
Dyspepsia aad indigestion destroy all
energy OF mind and body. Cascarine Is u
positive cure.
The MonroeCompress is ono OF the in
tlustries that we are pleased to know is in
fourishing condition. When first
launched it had much opposition to con-
tend with and many went so far as to pro-
dict that it would soon 50 into bankruptcy.
At a meeting Of tho stockholders OF this
concern held last Monday dividend of
s per cont was declared, payable Oh and
after June lst prox., making in all divi-
dend of Is per cent paid this year, the first
dividend Of 10 per cent having been paid
January LIST. That it has been OF incalcula-
BILE advantage to Monroe cannot be denied,
since it was the means of placing it among
the foremost cotton markets. and it is fact
that better prices were paid here for round
lots of cotton the past season than could
have been obtained elsewhere. Such
things should put our monied men to
thinking and ought to be great stinuius
