MALCUM DOTS.

Fine weather for killing gass.

Fine weather for killing gass.
Mr.. Z. b. White has the finest colt
ever bred in this part of our county:
bred from one of those fine mares that
Mr.. VIM Turnbough brought from up
North. 1t certainlyis model of beau
ty, as we'll as of shape.
Notice those excellent farms about
Malcum, and not hill of cotton, farm
ers; and if we succeed we intend to at
tribute our SUCCESS to Grover Cleye-
lands administration. but We failed
to let the Democratic merchants know
anything about this or we would have
had more fertilizer. You know, moth
ing like seeking political aid and vot-
ing her straight.
Our little saw-milI keeps humming
away but our Malcpm merchants are
looking kind o sick; think they must
have the chilis. Groves chill tonic is
rather scarce any how.
Mr.. Editor, know you would like to
know who, but | will not tell just here
Two of our should-be bright minded
10Y vent TO Fair River at the last
meeting drunk, and there treated all
their other DO friends on liquor
Squire White being on the ground,
caught wind of what was going on, but
fciled to secure sufficient evidence.
But TO has gIaaious delight an affidavit
WAS presented few days afterward,
when he at once set out to square 'em
up. One young man was found In the
field at work with pistol in his peck
ct. but the constable lifted it, and serv-
ed the arrests too. The day of trial
was set on the 9th inst. The young men
came the day before trial, plead guilty,
asked the mercy OF the court and
pledged themselves to never be guilty
of snch a thing anymore. There are
other vicious "didle wiffers" that go to
church with purpose of disturbing in
some way our worship, and we hope
that if they don't know there is a law,
they will Gnd it aHt in some way with
out having to eat Jail food. Must we
blame their parents with all this?
These boys are minors. The road to
hell is broader from all accounts than
the one to Jail is. Parents are account
able to certain extent, for the moral
training or theit children.
Tremendous hard rains in some To-
calities of our neighborhood have been
EXPERIENCED this week; a tremen-
dous hail on Fair River three miles
south of here on the 10Th inst.
ELoPEMENT-M Mr.. Will Boone, of Wes-
son, and Miss Flora White, one of our
Malcum bellies, disappeared about mid
night June 18th to parts unknown. We
hear that the young couple landed in
Wessop about daylight the next morn
ing and were married about 4 o'clock
In the evening. The young lady was
not yet of age sufficient to legally OBJ
tain license without her fathers con-
sent, and his objection caused them to
take midnight walk to Wesson. We
wish the young couple much joy and a
happy life.
