MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


Married Against the Old Mans Wishes,
Senatobia. Sept. l3.-This afternoon
about o'clock, as crowd OF young men
were seated on the porch OF the Hotel
dc Tribble lazily lighting dies and dis
cussing the issues of the day, they were
suddenly attracted by the rapid APP
proach of buggy, and judging from
the vigorous Jerks on tho reins and the
way the young man was applying the
whip to the horse one would suppose
that some one had the toothache and
that the young man was after the doc
tor, but as the buggy neared the hotel
it was discovered that there was some
ono else in the buggy beside the excited
Joung man, for sitting beside the young
man was beautiful young lady OF some
sixteen summers, her face radiant with
smiles and suffused with bushes. Her
hat was off and her golden hair was,
hanging down her back, and while the
young men on the porch were envying
the young man and admiring the young
lady there was seen approaching an
other, in great haste. 1t was horse
man this time, and as he approached
there could bo seen look OF deter
mnation on his face, and as the buggy
got opposite the hotel the lone horse
man overlook them and demanded the
girl to go back home with him. The
young man didn't do a thing but pull a
great big, long, rusty six-shooter and
persuaded the old man that be had bet
ter get from the front of his buggy,
which the old man promptly did, and
the young people went around the cor
ner toward the magistrates. The old
man proved to be j. w. Whitsoll, q
prosperous farmer who resides in the
western part of the county, who said
that the girl was his daughter, who had
met and learned to love the young man

teok place four miles from this place
today between w. b. johnson and John
Wilbourn, In which Winchester rifles,
at .ifty yards, were used, and which re-
quilted in Johnson's death from four
mortal wounds. Tue killing was the
result of an old feud that has existed
between the two for some time, and as
both men were absolutely fearless the
death OF one or both has been expected.
10th men were farmers and lived within
short distance of each other and their
quarrel arose out Of disputes that were
OF constant occurrence. After killing
johnson, Wilbourn came here and sur
rendered to the sheriff. There was
onlyone witness to the affair and from
him these facts were gathered. Wilbourn
and tho witness, Sam Lewis, had been
hunting squirrels and while returning
home they met johnson armed with a
Winchester rife. johnson at oncc
opened fire on Wilbourn without any
warning whatever. Wilbourn returned
the -e and regular fusillade was
..ep;hp botwetii them, which resulted
in Johnson's being pierced by four balls
and Wilbourn escaping without a
scratch.
Tho fact that johnson was stone deaf
made it difficult to deal with him and
was the cause of his being implicated in
many difficulties.
Tho county coroner held an inquest
over the body and the jury returned a
verdict in accordance with the above
facts. Wilbourn claims that it was a
clear case of self-defense. Special to
Commercial Appeal.

The Cotton Tie Question.

A public meeting was held at Meridian
last week to receive the report of the
committee appointed at previous
meeting to make test OF wire ties for
baling cotton as substitute for the Ar
row ties. Tho report Of the committee
was most satisfactory one, showing
their experiments to have been made
with No. q annealed wire, from four TO
seven strands being twisted together.
1t was demonstrated that the wires
would hold the bale as securely as the
Arrow or fiat tie. The larger, or No. 7
wire, which was deemed preferable TO a
smaller one, when coated with coal tar
will weigh fourteen or fifteen ounces.
In view of the receipt of kilograms and
letters announcing that other materials
were en- route with which to make a
test the committee was continued. A
resolut on was adopted by the meeting
boycotting merchants who handled ties
bought from tho trust or bagging man.
ufactured by tho same people. A reso.
luton pledging patronage to dealers
who were selling oil in competition
with the Standard Oil Company was
also adopted.
