lonsas for the first time since the ap-
pointment of Ex-Goy. Nichols.

ton CROP" said Mr.. Jno. Humble to a

snch poor condition since 1878
This spell of rainy weather has III

Monroe Telegraph Bulletin: Capt.
A. Wyatt was in town last week and
was an appreciated visitor to this Of
flee. He stated that his crops, ex-
cept about 40 acres overlooked, were
in fine condition. Capt. Wyatt is in
hearty sympathy with the Confeder-
ate Veterans reunion and will render
martial and to make it a grand sue
cess. He was gallant soldier, and
besides feeling a natural interest, car
ries a constant reminder of the great
conflict in the way Of Federal ball
in his head. The wound still gives
him occasional trouble.
Telegraph-Bulletin: Judge Gunby
left Wednesday for Atlanta, Ga, where
he will deliver an address before
the Southern Educational Association.

National Economist: The force
| bill is not an issue III this campaign
for the simple reason that the same
Republican Senators who so courage
ou-ly opposed the measure two
years ago will be on hand to oppose
it again should it come up, and III
stead of the Republican strength be-
ing increased the indications Are that
the changes will be the other way.
st. Mary Banner: Ten dozen big
crevasses don't equal in volume the
Mississippi river, while only a few
ever occur where the water runs di-
rectly off, without entering the river
at some other place. What the out
letters want is an outlet that equals
the main river, aud that Is what
everybody wants that are not hood
winked 10y the plausible theories OF
the hyper-scientists, and the selfish
city of New Orleans, which surrounds
itself with wall of sticks and lum-
Der, and let's come what may to the
rest of the State.
