squite popular with our athletes.
Chronology has it that Hercules first
celebrated the Olympian games in the
year 1918 B. c. At about the same time,
according to the historians, the early
.scolonists Of Ireland founded what were
known as the Tailten games, which
were held annually in Meath and which
were, as far as they could be, national
They were kept up until the end of the
eighth century, when Ireland suffered
from the Angle-Norman invasion, when
they languished. The Tailten games
were the forerunners Of the Irish ath-
letic games of to-day, and some Of them
were very similar-wrestling, weight
throwing, running, horse-racing and the
Hike. In some respects the old games

A MISTAKEN NOTION.

There seems to be an idea prevalent
among some who should work the
road leading from PascagOula to
Scranton, il being a continuation OF
Market street at Pascagoula, to the
Bayou Casotte road at the edge of
Scranton, that considerable money
has been donated 20 il and therefore
they should not be called upon 10
work it. Now, l want it distinctly
understood, that not a cent III money
has been contributed except by Mr..
&. L. Johnson and myself. 1t Is
true that Mr.. A. f. Krebs did donate
such timber as might be needed for
the road and also authorized the sale
of all the wood cut Off TO be used for
the benefit of the road, for which l
wish TO return thanks.

THIS IL NO BEAR STORY.

On "Wednesday, 18th inst John
Porter, Sud Brit, Ruby and WIZ
Mizell, while out hunting for Il wild
cat that had been killing pigs about
The ncighborhood Of Three Rivers
Ford, their dogs started up a large
black bear, and one of the dogs dcci-
ded TO take a back scat, but the other
dog ran old cuffcc within ten steps of
Wiley Mizcll, who emptied both bar
rels Of his gun INTO the bears face
with No. 4 shot. MlZcll thinks if his
gun had been a breecll-loader lie
would have killed the ~varinint, for he
had plenty time TO reload. The bear
danced all the late dances, throwing
mud and water high in the air for
some time, then ran away toward
Jack G:ay's swamp. One OF the dogs
followed the beat about three miles
then returned. This is ne bear story,
but facts gathered from Mr.. MizeIl
himself.

AN ABORTIVE ATTEMPT At SUICIDE.

On last Saturday, about noon, Mr..
Thos, S. Sliglets, Of this place, made
an attempt at suicide by shooting
himself just behind the ear with a
pistol, the ball coming out at The back
OF the head. The ball never pcnelra-
ted the ekull, but glanced around it,.
Whether it was from the position Of
the pistol, want of force IN the pow
der, or hardness of the skull, it is
hard to tell which that caused the
ball TO take the course IL did. But
the attempt was evidently well IN
tended and would, perhaps, have
been repeated hail not the pistol been
taken from him. lie gave as an TX
Gus Tor wanting the pistol in the
morning that lie wanted TO send il TO
Mobile for repairs, but when told that
it needed no repairs he found some
other excuse and brought il down to
his marine ways, and hid II under a
block, from whence he Withdrew il to
commit the crime of sclf-murdcr.
During the day he had been imbibing
pretty freely, Uut at the same time
complaining of Il pam in ms head,
which has became a pretty common
thing with him ever since along in
the summer, when hc took a dive
from the window of his house and
fell on his head, which lie saws was
capscd from his dreaming that he
was going TO take a dive into the
river.
If the man is insane he is to- be
pitied, but if the attempt was delib-
crate he should have succeeded.
