MERTyALE.

This is the title of a novel jus
issued by Dillingham;, the author
of which is James Robertshaw
President of the Citizens Bank, OF
Greenville, a man whose name i.
familiar in business circles through
out the lower Mississippi Valley,
The fact that the author of "Meri'
vale" is a practical snd successful
business man invests the book
with peculiar interest, 1t is not
often that an absorbed and busy
man of affairs is willing to occupy
his scanty and precious leisure
with the pursuits of literature; but
the Muses. are jealous mistrcsses.
When once their seal has been
set upon chosen follower the Oh
legations of his sweet servitude
must be met, whatever may be
the obstacles, or the conflicting de
mands of less seductive duties and
more prosaic masters. 'Meriyale"
is not Mr.. Robertshaw's maiden
effort. A few years ago he pub
lished 'Volney Randolph a
striking and peculiar work in
which an atmosphere of meta
physics prevailed to an extent
which at times obscured the hui
man interest of the story, making
it book which, on that account, |
could scarcely attain general favor
with the unthinking public who
r cad for the thrill OF dramatic mar
rative, In "MerIyalen the author
has sacrificed his philosophical
bent to purely human and personal
interest. While to Il thinker and |
lelver for truth in the depth, the
work OF a philosopher presents
more attractions than II ''play of
human hopes and fears" it cannot
Ne disputed that a story of dra-
matte incident, ofpassions and per- :
like Merivale, appeals 3,
With far more force to the great
lass of humankind, and is far .
urer of welcome and appreciation
rom the reading public.
This work of Mr.. Robertshaw's
of especial interest to this To-
atty. "Merlvale,' the little
village, irresistibly sug-
ests Greenville as many of its
aople remember it during that
ost thrilling and interesting
eriod Of Southern hIstory-thc
construction. The writer, with
ne art, has taken for his back
'ound the scenes of his own
.ery-day life, and the life of all
yellers in the Delta at that time.
ne work may be called a histori-
! novel, for, while its characters h.
e purely imaginary creations, its =,
hole atmosphere is redolent of 90
e political and social life which G,
stinguished that period. Its sue FL
ssion of events find a counter n,
.rt in the well-rememberd scenes q,
d experiences which form part 10
the history of this region, and W
which many Of the citizen, of ~,
ashington county were actors q,
has often occurred to the
tier that richer field for the
velIst or romantic historian eX-
$ than the one into which Mr..
'bertshaw has ventured in this N
ok: and it is a subject for con m
atulation thata glimpse of the
ange and picturesque life Of the
.Ita during that period has beer
last given to the world in ~

The Msssoula Camera Club.

Missoula. May 4.-The Missoula
Camera club has arranged for it's an
nual exhibition of photographs and
display of lantern slides. The exhibit
tion will be the best that the club has
ever given. and there will be shown
a large number of pictures that have
not been on exhibition at all. The
members of n club have been busy
during the winter and spring and the
views that have been added to the
landscape department of the work will
prove attractive. There has also been
some good work done in the portrait
line that will be a prominent feature
of the display. In addition to the pho
tographs the club will also show soma
lantern slides. including a collection of
views of the Maine and other ships
that have been secured by the club.
There Will be music and some pleasant
remarks by good speakers. The club
deserves the announcement of a large
audience at the entertainment, and
there Is little doubt that this will be
accorded the members. who have ad-
vertised Missoula as IL has never been
advertised before.

ity was adhered to by the attorneys in
their argument.

son, who arrested Pursell on the night
of the murder. The captain testified
that Pursell was not I'm his right mind
