DON'T SELL YOUR HOGS.

The following advice from the
Memphis Commercial comes little
late to great many in this county
who have already disposed Of their
hogs, but we republish it for the
benefit Of those who have not yet
sold their surplus porkers:
For some time past Northern buyers
have been buying all the hogs they could
find for sale in this State and Arkansas,
and probably other Southern States.
Large numbers of hogs have already
been bought in this section and shipped
North. This means that there is a
scarcity of hogs in the North and West,
and the packers are now buying them
up while they are comparatively cheap
and at less than their real value, expect
ing to sell them back in this section, and
perhaps to the very same parties from
whom they bought, in the form of hams,
sides, etc, ana at greatly increased
prices. This is a very foolish policy on
the part of the farmers. 1t is we'll known
that this section has not enough hogs to
supply the home demand, and the ship
ment of hogs to the North simply means
that we will have to buy them back again
at prices which will, from present indica-
tions, be higher than for many years past
Already during the past two weeks meats
have advanced more than a cent pound,
with indications for still higher prices
Wewant to give the farmers earnest and
kindly warning against selling at this
time.

The Democracy of California
could make no better selection for
their United States Senator than
Hon. STEPHEN M. WHITE. The
writer knows whereof he speaks in
saying that in point of fitness and
qualifications fol- the duties of the
Office he stands head and shoulders
above any man in the State, and is
practically the logical candidate OF
the situation. He is a man OF the
people, and his elevation to the
Senate would be a great addition
to that body, at a time, too, when
the best material in the party is
needed to assist Mr.. CLEVELAND in
carrying out his measures of gov
ornamental reform.

"THERE is no hope for us in the

Republican Senators at Washing

lican success in those States. The
reports state unequivocally that
Democratic or Populist Senators
would be elected to succeed Repub-
licans in the States mentioned, and
California was certain to return a

The somewhat romantic escapade
about a month ago of Misses Mol
lie and Ella Cherry, daughters of
Mr.. Robert Cherry, and Messrs.
Thomas Melton and Walter Lowry,
all of the Little Greek neighbor-
hood, in the northern part of the
county, ended in the two couples
getting married at this place last
Tuesday evening. 1t seems that
the young people had quietly ar
ranged their plans to elope to Ar
kansas and get married, and a few
weeks before Christmas their plans
were carried out and they went to
Lonoke, that State, but an unfore-
seen difficulty arose when they APP
piled for marriage licenses. The
laws of Arkansas are more strin-
gent in this respect than those of
Tennessee, and they failed to get
the papers necessary to bind them
together. In the meantime their
supply of finances we're running
low, and they decided that the best
way out of the difficulty would be to
notify relatives at their old home
of the true state of affairs, which
was done. The final sequel to this
adventure of the young people was
that they returned here last Tues
day, and with the assistance of Mr.

resolutions have been introduced
covering innumerable questions of
vital public interest.
There was a lively discussion in
the house Monday over the motion
to reconsider the motion by which
the rules were adopted. The final
result was that the motions to re-
consider were withdrawn and the
rules stand. This decision was a
death blow to the slick lobbyist,
whose usefulness is gone. Speaker
Davis rigidly enforces the rule, and
everybody except the members and
the press representatives is exclud-
ed from the floor.

troduced Monday instructing the

Representative Story introduced
a bill Monday for a constitutional
convention. The bill provides for
the submission of the question next
August, the election of delegates
next November, and the convention
to be held in January, 1894.
The more important measures in
