n Glass of Small Bores.
New York Tribune
There are lots of dummy telephones
coming into USE says r. G. Owens, an
electric expert what are they? Well. in
the first place, they are a. necessity to a
busy man who does not keep public teIe-
phone, and in another place they present
an excellent means for getting rid of bores
who don't intend to be bores. who don't
know that they are bores. and who would
phatic way. Since the telephone came into
general use and pay stations were estab-
lished class has also come into being
composed of people who want to use a
phone perpetually and eternally, but whose
MESSAGES are not important enough to allow
the expenditure of dime. These people
always want to use a phone whenever they
see one. and as they are becoming more
numerous every day the dummy phone has
been introduced. 1t looks exactly like a
telephone. but is made of papier miche
When man asks to use your phone and
you have a dummy you just refer him to
it. and then he rings away for central un-
til he wearies of getting no reply. Of course
he thinks the instrument is out of order
He may come in some other time and ask
to use it again, but he never comes the
third: Two whacks at a dummy telephone
will break the biggest telephone beat In ex-
istence of ever trying to use it again"

The Factory Company.

The citizens met in the Court House
last Saturday according to agreement
to again consider the establishment of
. cotton factory in Kosciusko. Mr.. j.
#. Hammond occupied the chsir. Mr..
T.. Dodd first addressed the meeting
urging the great benefits 10 the people
of the whole of Central Mississippi to
be deri red from such an enterprise.
He anpou need his willingness to do all
in his power to aid the movement and
his intention to subscribe to the stock.
Mr.. W. D. Potts followed with some
practical remarks, saying that he be-
believed the factory could be made a
success and he was right in for il. Let
tiers were read from trust companies Of
tprinc to assist in raising the means by
floating bonds, etc. 1t was finally
agreed to take no definite action then,
bu. to give the soliciting committee
until the first Monday in April 10 re-
port. 1t is hoped that on hut day all
those who lave subscription Ii SITS and
all who were elected directors will have
handsome sums subscribed by people
from all over the county. Let every
nan get as much pledged q. pos slble;
for on the amount subscribed depends
whether or not we will have the facto-
~. Let every man work as if the en-
tire respon sibility Cor the enterprise
rested on his shoulders.

A Lively Tilt.

A lively tilt Occurred between the
sheriff and some local attor neys the
other day, and the oStcome is awaited
with interest.
It will be remembered that Ella West
aad her Husband, Dave Smith, two
negroes. we're lodged IN jail to be held
% witnesses in the Jack Kellv case.
They weie subsequently, released on
their own recognizsnce to appear before
The circuit court. They left town SONS
days ago and were not heard Of until
the first of this week when the Sheriff
received dispatch from Ella saying
that they were in Cairo, ILL.,, without
funds and tha. if he wanted them as
witnesses he would have to send them
money to come home on. When the
Sheriff had thus located them he at
once wired the chief of police 10 arrest
and hold both negroes, which WAS done.
Deputy w. D. Mcmillan at once board
ed the train to go after then. The at.
torneys for the negroes here heard Of
their arrest and at once wired Cairo
counsel to obtain their release on writ
of habeus corpus. Mr.. J. A. Davis, one
of the attorneys, at once put off for
Cairo on Wednesdays train to obtain
the negroes release. On the same train
Constable Dave Wallace left for Jack
son to obtain y requisition from Gov.
Stone to the Governor of Illinois to
hold the negroes.
Which side will win Is the question.
