niooino Fishes with a Hoe.

The following is vouched for by T.
Makett, who lives i'll Lefore county,
Miss, near Cane Lake. Mr.. Makett
went out a few mornings ago to
marshy place that had dried out on ac-
count of the continued dry weather, to
dig fish bait, and while digging with Il
grub hoe, to his great surprise instead of
finding fish bait he dug up q fine fish
that weighed three pounds, and upon ex-
animation he found that in the mud for
100 yards around there was great
quantity of trout, white perch and bass.
Mr. Makett carried home a half bushel
of the fish, and now, instead of digging
bait, he goes out every morning and digs
a mess of fine bass. The fish are under
the surface about ten inches.-MemDhis

great meeting was held in the Opera

rest day movement. The various
churches of the city united in the effort.
The speakers were Rev. G. B. Davidson

Father Ward of ST. Thomas Catholic
church. Father Wards speech created
quite sensation He said that in a few
years at the rate things were going now,
the non-church-going people would con-
troll the Legislature and then the Sunday
observance laws would be swept away.
He appealed to the working elements of
the country to organize to defend this

have to give all their time to getting Il
scanty living. The remarks were APP
