FIFTEEN THOUSAND sTANPEDED
A Disastrous and Memorable Run
away of Cattle ON IA Texan Prairie.

Disastrous and Memorable Rum
away of Cattle ON IA Texan Prairie.
From the Waco Independent.
One of the most desperate stampedes of
cattle ever witnessed by a Texas cowboy,
says the Rev. J. B. Cranfl of Waco, oc-
CURED in 1876 on the prairie in the center
of which now stands the town of McGreg-
or. Fifteen thousand cattle and twenty-five
cowboys participated in the exciting
event Mr.. Cranfil was not a participant,
but he 1els the story as he got it from
am eyewitness. Late in the afternoon of
July 4 there had been a lively thunder
storm that made the cattle nervous. AT 10
O'Clock at night, however, they seemed to
be sleeping profoundly. Then the nara
tive proceeds as follows:
1.-THE stars were all shining, and there
was no cause at all for the arousing of
the herd They appeared 10 get up all at
once with a single purpose and the roar
that was heard seemed to come from a
single throat. The Wilson brothers and
their cowboys, who were sleeping in the
camp rushed 10 their ponies, who were
grazing with the saddles and brides on,
and as fast as the bits could be placed in
their mouths they mounted and gallope1
to the TANKS of the now disappearing mass
headed in the direction of the Brazios rlv-
er.
''The usual course on such occasions is
to get in front of the herd-a risky piece
of work-and start Il to running in a cir
Gle. This attempt was made in this case.
Some cattle can outrun others, and in this
case there was a bunch of fully fifty fully
twenty yards in advance. and toward this
leading group the two rescuers rode. OF

UnsOnght Fame.

The following choice selection
from the Delta Light House will
be read with high enjoyment by
the friends of the excellent gentle
man who figures as its hero. 1t is
but just to DR.. Skinner to say
that no one is more surprised at
the fame so thrust upon him than
himself.
Readers, allow us to call your
attention to a few condolences of
importance relative to some of our
weak and disabled friends through
out this our immediate neighbor-
hood. There is a great work be-
ing did here in our city by DR.. n.
c. Skinner, through his medical
science, upon these weak and fee
bic men and women. Dear read
ers, public sentiment has grown
so strong in the last month or two
until we are compelled to make
mention of some of the wonders
that DR.. Skinner is performing ,on
some of our men and women.
Here is a statement made by Mrs.
Mary Edwards, of Longwood,
Miss. She says that she was tan
telized with a chronic complaint
for two on three years, and that
she had spent $500 or more in
cash and still continued to decay
until she finally could not walk.
But on hearing of DR.. Skinner of
GrcenyilIc, Miss, she had taken
fresh courage and got two men to
put her in wagon and bring her
to Greenville, and they laid her in
DR., okinner's office and she made
known her complaints as best she
could, but Dr.. Skinner was SO
shrewd he met her half way. He
knew her troubles better than she
did, and atonce began treating her.
In three weoks' time she was mp
and gone to the field picking cot
ton, and the cost of her entire
did not cost over 500
Now, my dear readers, there is
left for us to say but this,
when you begin to get weak and
feeble, don't stop until you find
this grand old comoner and medi-
cal physician, DR.. N. G. Skinner
on Main street, Greenville, Miss.
Clip this out and preserve it.

Bales. One Of our farmers made
@ comparison with load of cotton
toa Round Press gin and a load,
d equal weight, to Square Bale
IN, and received in cash 81. go
more for the same amount of cot
ton pressed at the Cylindrical
Press than he got for the bale
ginned at the Square Press. TAX
ing this figure as correct, 1900
bales would mean a saving of 49,
$50. 90 to the farmers of our COM
munity in actual dollars and cents.
1t is said "the proof Of the pud-
ding is in the chewing of the bag. -
The company owning this press is
said to be trust. That's the
great 'hullabaloo," but it seems
the farmers down in our section
are going to trust it as long as
such results are being derived. If |
the company gets to acting unfair
Iy, we can set aside our round |
press, put in square press, and
put ourselves again under the
yoke of the Bagging- Tie
Trust. -Jeffersonian.

AS OTHERS SEE IT.

ltsacms tina, Gov. McLaurin
l#s again put hi, foot into it. In
IuS Payers Convention,
composed of the voters of the
lower levee district, was held in
/ IGrcenvillo, To- which a resolution
was adopted, declaring ii to be the
wishes of the tax payers of that
district, that the Governor in max
ing appointments to fill vacancies
ON the Leyee Board shall appoint
those who have been selected by
the Democratic party in the coun-
Ity where such vacancies occur
further declaring their belief that
the resolution adopted would be
considered by the Governor as
mandatory, Last week, in pur-
suance of request of the tax pay
ers of the district made to the
Executive Committees of the sew
eral counties, the Democratic Exc
cutive Committee of Washington
county met in Greenyille for the
purpose of determining whether
to order primary, or convention
for the purpose of recommending
to the Governor a person to be
at the ensuing session
of the Legislature as Levee Com
missioner for that county. But
before taking any action they
thought best to telegraph to the
Governor to know whether or not
he would be governed by the ac-
ton Of a primary or convention,
if held, in making such appoint
ment The Governors reply was,
in substance. that he would not
chat he would not displace the
present incumbent, Mr. Jayne.
The tax payers Of that district,
and OF Washington county espe
.iaIly seem to be hot under the
aoIlar over the action of the Gov
-rnaz ia refusing TO make the APP
1ointmcnt in accordance with their
wishes, and viii urge upon their
Representatives at the proper time
o take teps toward the repeal OF
Tie constitutional provision con-
erring upon the Governor the ap-
)oinueut Of the members of the
-eYee Board. -Quitman Quill.
