works during her residence at Bal

several family photographs on it,

Meridian, Miss, Nov. 7.-kemper county
is in the throes of bloody feud- Several
years ago Tom Tolbert, white man not
possessing extra good sense, committed
rape upon a young girl Of respectable pa
rentage. Public sentiment was aroused, but
fear of the Tolbert clan, which was large
and fearless, prevented mob violence. Toll
bert was arrested and sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for life. In a short time he escaped
but was recaptured at Hickory and sent
back. Again he escaped, and has since
been at large in his native haunts in kem-
per. OF late he has become bolder, and
has often been seen at public places. The
deputized VIII Sinks and Tom Don
adj to arrest him. Yesterday evening
Spinks and Donald We're at an Indian
blacksmith shop when Tom Tolbert and his
brother, John Iolbert, came up. Tom took
refuge behind the shop and fired upon the
deputies until his ammunition was. exhausted
and he was forced to retire. A posse was
organized and with hounds Tom Tolbert
was chased all night. The house of Toll
berts father was surrounded by posse,
and just after daylight Tom and a crowd OF
his friends, armed with WincheSters,
opened fire on the posse, killing Thomas
Cole. The posse, being armed only with
ShotgunS, could do execution and re-
treated. All the country is aroused, and
as both sides are known to have grit more
bloody work is certain. A party accom-
panied by bloodhounds left this city late
last night for the scene of battle, twenty
five miles distant.

What Shall a Girl Read.

With many girls reading is largely a
matter OF opportunity; some lack the
means of procuring many books, or
more frequently still, the time neces-
sary for the mastery or enjoy
ment OF the helpful vol
ume; or, saddest of all, the taste
or appreciation of what is beautiful
and enobling in literature is lacking.
writes Amelia Lanigan in a pertinent
article on ga Girls Best Reading in
the Ladies' Home Journal. This is
the heaviest bolt on the gate of knowl-
edge, for no amount of recommends
ton can give one enjoyment OF q
book, and in mental, as in physical,
food we are profited only by what we
assimilate. But it is just for those
who feel both longing and limitation
that this article is written; simply to
act as a fnger-post, Indicating in what
direction true mental culture NAV be
reached.
Bear in mind that there are passing
books and lasting books, books OF the
day and books for all time. Help and
pleasure are to be found in both, but
the manner of reading them will differ.
The one kind furnishes comparatively
easy reading, because more on the
level OF our own knowledge and expert
ence; but the latest book, or most ex-
cellent magazine, should not occupy
the time to the exclusion of the older
authors who. according to RuslSin
often give you their thought more by
way of reward than OF help, just as
nature does not spread her gold upon
the surface, but lets us search and dig,
or crush the rock to get the precious
ore. Do some reading that requires
thought and labor.

Profits OF Draining Land;

The profits of draining land that
cannot be cultivated in season or is
too wet to produce full crops are
greater than those of any other known
business. Thousands of men are
pleased if they can loan money saved
from their present moderate crops at
9 or 8 percent, and run almost
apparent risks in placing their savings
IN mortgages on distant farms which
they know nothing of, and might as
well put it on quarter section in the
moon for any real security they may
have more than the bare word
of q person they never saw.
Meanwhile, they have fields of
their own that might be doubled in
value and product by drama age, made
with the same money which would
pay them so per cent. yearly or
even more. They might otherwise ex-
pend it for a pure bred bull, by which
the value of d dairy herd would be
trebled in four years, and the princi-
pal repaid in the same time or in less
time by the hire of it to neighbors,
while the profits would form a new
capital that might be reinvested.
Here IS a sum for computation, the
total OF which would be surprising.

II caught a very severe cold play
ing the hero up in northern Illinois,"
said commercial traveller in st.
Louis to a Globe-Democrat man.
my best girl lives near Rockford,
and, before opening up my samples,
| concluded to walk out and call on
her. She is very precise miss, a
schoolmarn1, if you please, and some
thing OF a prude. When about mile
from the house I was attracted BY the
most awful din that ever got aetion
outside OF pandemonium. Coming
down a hill was the object OF my visit,
attired in a dirty wrapper and old
sunbonnet and seated in d hand
cart half filled with hazel nuts. She
had been out nutting with her younger
brothers and sisters and they had
undertaken to draw her down the
hill. The cart proved too heavy,
however. ran over them, and was now
making break Tor the bluff, at the
foot of which flowed Rock river. I
tried to bead her of, but the momen.
tum OF the cart was too much for
me, and over we both went, while
the sky seemed to rain hazel nuts and
that wretched cart bumped me on the
head SO hard that did not enioy the
display of hosiery. The water was
only about four feet deep, but there
was no bottom to the mud, and by
the time we had scrambled up that
bluff and got a good look at each
other we were ready to return our
presents and break off the engage
ment. 1t IS easy enough TO take back
the heart that thou "tgavest" when
the party you presented it to has
her back hair full of hazel nut hulls
and is coated from head to heel with
the black mud for which the Sucker
state is peculiar"
