THE MISSING SHERIFF.
W. J. cowart's Family still in Ignorance
Of His Whereabouts. Foul Play Feared.


For ten days our people have
been laborlug under a good deal
of excitement, doubts aud fears,
as to the whereabouts of our
sheriff. MIR. w. j. Cowart The
facts briefly stated aud 50 far as
known are about as follows; Mr..
'Cowart had returned to Purvls
about two weeks ago from Mis-
sisslppi City, where. he had been
attending court, Dutlng the last
week of February he remained
in Puryls at work on the books Of
his office. While there it was no
tieed by his friends that he was
drinking more thanusual, and that
he was not IN his wonted good
spirits but his friends thought
nothing of it. On Saturday motn-
lug before day he boarded tram
for New ORLEANS, telling a friend
that he would return to Purvis
that night.
lie was seen to yet off the tram
at New Orleans by a Mr.. Freeman
of PurvIs, who says that he went
down on the tram with CowaFt.
His subsequent movements have
been mere conjectures, as the po-
lice say that they can find 10 trace
of him whatever. He was known
to have left helc with nearly $1,000
and unless it can be satisfactorily
proven that he has really skipped
the country, his friends have every
reason to believe that he was rob
bed and foully dealt wltheither ii
New Orleans or on his way back
to Purvls.

that man newerlhg his dcscrlp.
tion was seen IN Monterey, Mex
leo, on last Friday, but, OF course,
this statemen; has to be taken
with a good deal of salt. In the
meantime oor sheriff is gone, and
his family and friends are rscked
with many conflicting doubts and
fears, and not a few moan him
as dead. We hope TO he able 70
give our readers more lighton this
next week, as his friends here and
in Purvls are dong all in then
i power to find some trace of the
missing man.-Columbia News.

1t Was a Pretty Hot Day, but He Got
Frozen Out.
There was a young and harmless look
ing man sitting in Bryant park recently,
when along came a very respectable
appearing citizen and sat down on the
bench beside him with a great Jar, and
gasped out:
"Oh, Lordi but it's hotp'
Yes, rather warm" answered the
other.
Warm! Why, its enough to fry a
fagstonel I'll bet its 10 dogs. right here

man as he fshed out ten dollar bill.
"I'lI bet ten to five it isn't as hot as
that"
"Well, it's an even hundred anyway"
"Put up your money! It's ten to five
it isn't a hundred"
May not be quite that, but it's 95,"
growled the very respectable as he famed
himself with his hat.
"Ten to five that it isn'tr' calmly re-
piled the young man as he held out the
money.
"Well, it's 90, and I'll bet 81 900 on
itI' shouted the other.
Even ten that it isn't 90!'
The very respectable had twenty
seven separate and distinct rivulets run
ming down his back as he turned and
looked the young man over, and finally
said:
perhaps there's foot of snow ON the
ground, and the Hudson river is frozen
oyerl'
II don't say that" replied the young
man, "but I'll bet you $40 even up that
the thermometer doesn't show above "a

And with the mercury bobbing in the
bulb like an egg in kettle of boiling
water, and the heat fairly frizzling the
fagstones around the park, the very re-

went away, saying:
