SHERIFF N. BATSON.

Several prominent gentlemen 10
this district haye been mentioned
for the office of Railroad Cominis-
sioner, but we know Of no one
more eminentlv qualified for the
position than our popular young
sheriff, N. Batson. He is a repre-
sentative of the young democracy
of the State.
Mr.. Batson has had five years
experience as railroad man and
fully understands what should be
expected for railroads to do. He
is familiar with the lumber business
and is well up on freight rates
and his services would be valuable
in that line, While agent at this
place he was elected to the Office of
sheriff of Pearl River county. His
record as an officer speaks for itself,
but we will say that there is not a
better sheriff in the State than We
have. Having known Mr.. Batson
from his boyhood we have no hes
itancy in endorsing him for the po.
sition OF Commissioner, and if the
people of the State see fit to give
him the Office he will prove worthy
of the trust, and fill the Office with
credit t.-Lumberton Head Block.

"If subscribers order the discon-

publisher may continue to send

If subscribers move to other

the former place they are held re-

A STORY FOR HARD I'll MES.
Once upon a time, two frogs,
who had been living in comfort and
ease in "a cool pool, were accldentai-
ly scooped up by a pions m'lkman
IN a pail Of water which he poured
into his can in order TO give the
milk more body, aud thereby in
crease his revenue. The frogs were
very much astonishe ed to find them
selves in an unknown element in
which it was not possible to sap1
port life, ard they had to kick very
vigorously in order to keep their
heads above the milk. One OF them,
being disheartened by being shut
up in the dark in an element enc
tirely new to him said: "Lets give
up and 70 to the bottom; it is no
use kicking any longer" The 9th
er said: "Oh, no; let's keep kick
ing as long as we can aud see what
the outcome will be. Maybe things
will change presently" But the
first frog gave up and went to the
bottom. The other kept on kick
ing and when the pious mllkman
came to town and opened his can,
beh hold-the frog had kicked out a
lump of butter large enough to
float on, and he was sitting on it
very comfortable.

How to D:smount From a Bicycle.

The best way to dismount from u safety
when travelling fast is by tho backward
motion, and not ny the pedal as is usually
done. Thus, when tho left hand pedal is
rising, the body should be raised in the
saddle and the weight thrown onto the
pedal, at the same time slipping off the
back of the saddle, meeting the ground
with the right foot. OF course the left foot
will quickly follow; then, letting the ma
chino run at arms length and holding
onto the saddle, "A run of few yards, nc.
cording to pace, will quickly bring both
rider and machine to standstill. With a
little practice, "a dismount can be safely ac-
complished in this way when travelling at
the rate of Is miles an hour and even fast

David Wallis Reeves, the leader of the
American band, of which every citizen OF
our city is justly proud. was born in
Owego n. Y. He received his first must
cal instruction from Mr.. Thomas Can
ham. prominent instructor of military
bands, and his first experience was as sec
ond alto of the Owcgo band. He was
practically apprenticed to Mr.. Canham,
who induced him to live with him by the
consent of his parents, and under the
tuition of Mr.. Canham, his musical
knowledge and skill developed SO rapidly
that before he was nineteen years old he
was leader of band. Beginning in this
way his professional life, he soon found
his way to New York where he played one
season with Dodworths band, the most
celebrated military band of the day. His
inclination to travel induced him to make
use of his talent and he visited England,
Ireland and Germany as a cornet soloist,
meeting with great success.
Returning from Europe. he enlisted a
band for Bakers Iouaves but his career
as an army bandmaster was nipped in the
bud by an order from the war department
mastering out all regimental bands He
again Joined Dodworth's band and was
the first to perform Levy's "Whirlwind
Polka in America, before that famous
cornet player came to this country. Hav-
ing learned the secret of triple tonguing
in London, Reeves astonished the audi
ences with his marvellous execution. Good
triple tongue players are plentiful enough
at the present time, but Reeves was the
first one in America, and at once became
n IL of h,1xr 6 Inn, "a
In 1866, Mr.. Reeves was induced to come
to Providence to accept the leadership of
the American brass band, Mr.. Joseph G.
Greene retiring after having been Its
leader, first and last, nearly forty years.
Bandmaster Reeves improved the organ
ization, added new instruments and in
fused his own progressive spirit Into the
members; increasing its efficiency, add
ing to its popularity, and extending its
reputation until its fame had become
national. Mr.. Reeves personality was SO
pronounced, that by common consent the
band has been known for many years as
Reeves American band.
AS composer Mr.. Reeves has won a
good reputation, not less than hundred
marches having come from his pen. The
American Musician says of Mr. Reeves
''He is undoubtedly the foremost march
writer of America, if not of the world.
Reeves marches are popular everywhere,
not SO much for their melodic pretentions
as for their intense military spirit, rhyth-
