 The other night was sitting in the TO- tunda of the hotel in a Mississippi town just after supper enjoying a fresh ci- gar. Presently two well-known travel ing men walked up and took seats near by. One of them said to the other: Well how do you find the pulse of trade?' 'Very good replied the gentle man, as he proceeded to fill and light his pipe. He continued: Despite the clamor of the free silverites and deserters of the democratic party the country is inn proving all the time. I have been trav cling this Mississippi territory for a number of years and I have found busi- ness more satisfactory this season than any previous year for long time.

WHERE ARE THOSE GIRLsp
Mysterious Disappearance of Two Daughters
 of MT. Hayes-The Worst Feared

Mysterious Disappearance of Two Daughters
 of Mr. Hayes-The Worst Feared
 As we go to press, says the Ozark Ban ing and mysterious report comes to us through MT. W. J. Snellgrove of Flaw Ridge, which is in substance as follows:
 Last Friday at noon the two daugh- ters of MT. William Hayes while on their way to the field to work, were supposed to be attacked by two negro fiends and mysteriously spirited away, as they have neither been seen since, nor can any trace of them be found.
 About six weeks ago one of these ne groes, Charles Shiver who is feet high, a ginger cake color and weighs about 175 pounds, met the younger of the Hayes girls in the road some distance from home and, with pistol pointed at her head, forced her to sacrifice her Nir- tue to him, threatening to kill her if she ever diVulged it. However, she did tell her parents, who at once had q warrant sworn out for the brute, and he left. ac- companied by his pal, Andrew Bass, a jet black negro, with gold filings in his front teeth.
 It is supposed now that these two bruteS have possession of the two girls and have them either hid or have mur- dered them and secreted their bodies.
 The woods for miles around have been searched and no trace of them can he found.
 The heart-brol1en parents are almost crazed with grief, and should these hu- man brutes be located it will not be good for them.

came with maui and wedge to assist in splitting rails. Partridge, who had worked himself into a frenzy, asked the negro why he had sent him such word but before he could reply hit him with the poll of his ax on the head, killing him instantly.
 It now turns out the negro sent no such word by Partridge's son, and Par fridge being in a bad state of humor over a family matter was too enraged to listen to an explanation. The negro was quiet, peaceable negro. and very humble. Partridge was considered a peaceable man, but this seems to be a case of deliberate murder.
 Partridge is about 40 years old, and was raised in this county. near New Site He immediately made his escape and is still at large, though Deputy Sheriff Smith, with some deputies, is hunting for him. Partridge is a white man.

ry wanted all the time he could get. Mississippi merchants as a whole are trying mighty hard to get their business down to a cash basis and if they continue they are going to come very near do- ing it." Travelling men as rule are among the first to realize the rise and fall of trade and when you hear them speak hopefully of the business outlook the country is evidently getting in bet ter shape.
 It is not often the case in these days of financial discussion that one sees a per son who has entirely mastered the per plexing question of finance-a question upon which the ablest men of the Ameri- can continent are divided-but the Ram bier met an old gentleman in an Ala bama town a few days ago who would have people believe he had performed this wonderful feat. He was what might be termed free silver crank" and ar gued that the only hope for the country was the free coinage of silver at a ratio of IS to 1. He was told that he had pos sibly formed his conclusion without reading both sides of the question, and the old fellow explained the whole thing by telling his listeners that he could not read word, in the English language, and that he did not know letter in the alphabet. This particular instance eX- plains why many men in the rural dis tricts -clamoring for free silver. No doubt they are honest in their convic- tions, but the fact of the matter is they are not informed.

 Auburn, May 2.-(Special Correspond ence. 1.-The second annual field day, May 1, was a gala day for Auburn. The weather was perfect and the Opelika- Auburn dummy did a large business. The forenoon was devoted to an exhibi- ton game of ball between the college and scrub teams, the former winning by a score of 16 to O. Very few errors were made. By o'clock the campus present. ed a picture rarely seen on southern college field. The bleachers were crowd ed to overflowing. Grace and beauty, radiant in frillS and fluttering ribbons, encouraged the muscular young ath- letes by their enthusiasm. It was like match game of football
 The sports of the day were opened by the firing of a pistol and the 100-yard dash was on. Down the field rushed the six sprinters, Peerey winning by 10 feet. No record of the time could be made on account of a premature start. However, Peerey has covered the distance in 10 3-5 seconds, and it is possible that he will try for better record in few days.
 The following men are winners in the gold medal contests: Byrum, best aver age-Hurdle, standing broad jump, throwing hammer and pole vault.
