ever written on the interes ting
question Of what women like IN
men, says the New York Sun, is
summed up in the idea that women
like a man who can be strong as a
lion when trouble comes and yet if
one is nervous and tired can button
up a shoe with an amount of con-
sideration that is mental and
physical bracer>up. They like a
man who likes them, who doesn't t
scorn their opinions, who believes
in their good taste, who has conf,
dence in them, and wit enough to
realize that when one of the fairer
sex is slightly stubbon persuasion
IS more powerful than all the argu-
ments IN the orld."
One hundred and eight laws were
passed at the recent session Of the

Batson, of Pearl River county, by

ate and refund to him the purchase
price of said lands.
In speaking of the lumber trade
the New Orleans Southern Trade
journal says:
"The yellow-pine lumber indus
try shows, as yet, no tangible i'm
prOvement, though there is conf.
dence expressed in the future, and
many mills continue saving with
the apparent assurance that this
hope will be realized. Some few
mills in this district are doing con
siderable business, but large NUNS
Der of them are either idle or run

readiness for the revival OF better
times"

RANEY,s SUCCESSOR.
It May Be Rather Difficult Matter TO
Find Him.


Tallahassee, Fla, May 20.-There are
no developments in regard to the APP
pointment of a successor TO Chief JUS
tice Raney. 1t is thought here, in view
of the fact that the state convention will
nominate a candidate for Justice of the
supreme court for the full term of six
years, to be elected in October, that the
governor will hardly find a man willing
to accept the position for few months
in fact, some are inclined to believe. that be
may have to wait until the convention no M
mates, and then appoint the nominee. If
the governor should make a selection,
and the state convention fail to ratify
his action, the situation might not be
pleasant.

Rocky Ford, Ca, May 21.-Rocky
Ford is noted for many enchant-
ing pleasures. There is a wild delight in
dropping a line" to the Ogeechee trout,
as well as to the MORNING News. How
many have been fortunate enough to land
the glittering silver beauty on the picnic
banks Of the Ogeechee} There is an cleo
trio delirium of ecstatic felicity in store
for those who have never experienced 1t.
The fish go fluttering into the frying pan,
tender as young love, delicate as dream
of innocence, and as satisfactory as draw
ing the capital prize in the lottery, when
cotton sells for cents. pound. AS a
brain food these fish are as a power in
rejuvenating the energated cereOrum of
the average politician.
Cotton is now large enough to see the
fac-simile-of greenback on every leaf
that trembles to the breeze, which makes
the farmer laugh, the merchant smile
and the Ruano man give grunt of salts
faction and all are happy.
There are many things happen here to
make countryman laugh. One of our
neighbors came home at night with new
coat and hat on. His dog refused to recog-
nize him and gave chase around the house.
Our neighbor was so fast that he over
took the dog and was bitten. II is not
well to be too FAST on all occasions.
After this dogmatic escapade, he dropped
an ak on his toes and cut them of, which
made him notorious. But he is an indus
trious and respected citizen.
Our merchants here are doing a safe
and profitable business and our farmers
throughout the county are comparatively
independent, making their farms self
sustaining by raising home supplies, and
improving their lands by planting anne
lucrative crops. J. L.
