The Democratic Executive
Committee will bear in mind that
they are to meet in Bolivar on the
goth of this month to canvass the
vote cast in the primary election,
and appoint delegates to attend the
judicial convention to be held in

The prospects for good wheat
crop are very fattering. While the
acreage is larger in this comfy
than it has been for years, still the
majority of the farmers have not
sown a grain, although they could
have sown and not curtailed either
their cotton or corn crop to any great
extent. We trust that the results
of the wheat crops of those who did
SOW will induce others in the flu
ture to do likewise.
J. S. SasSer's store at Middle
tor, was again robbed last Saturday
night. The entrance to same was
made through the east window to
the building'and the same way which
robbers entered on a former oc
casion. The rooney that was left
in the cash drawer, amounting to
about $3.50 or $500 was taken, be-
sides whiskey, meat, coffee, sugar,
pants and other articles. The total
loss is estimated at about $3.50, no
arrests have been made, nor is it
known who committed the theft.
The Executive Committee of
the Peoples party requests us to
state that a mass convention will be
held at the court house in Bolivar, on
the 3lst, of this month at 10 o'clock
a. m. for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the several county
offices. An invitation is extended to
all friends of the reform to take
part in the convention. So we
are to understand that the Populite
party is the reform party. If that be
so, how can those who are members
of another party take part with
them. They only are reformists,
otherwise there would be no neces-
sity for such an organization, be-
cause the other parties were organ
lied before that ''baby" was born
and F'resurrected. "
