JUNE AND

Low Lands Of Our
County.

4 trip through the county
would leave one under the inn
preston that old FaFsyette's
soil never producedshner crops,
bu. close inspection will re-
veal the fact that The rains of
June and July have been dis
astrous to the crops in many
sections. In some places both
corn and cotton have been so
badly damaged that IT will be
impossible to make anything
like a full crop, This is especi-
ally true on the low lands
where the water has stood in
the rows and completely drown
ed the crops. While there is
but little hope of the cotton
crop being as large as it was
last year, there IS but little
doub; but what the corn crop
will be better, and the falling
OFF in cotton may make the
price higher. This county is a
wonderful one and fortune
may yet turn in favsr of the
farmers in the stricken sections,
therefore look on the bright
side and hope for the best

WOMEN

Gov Adams. of Colorado,
gave an address of welcome TO
the great body of women who
recently met in Denver to rep
resent the Federation OF
Women's Clubs In the course
Of his address he said:
Are men of the west more

their eastern brethren. IL is a

1T is fitting that this great
confederation of women's clubs
should meet in Colorado. While
you are not suffrage assoeIa-

care TO vote, the ultimate OF

must be the elimination of sex

Woman suffrage needs not

a question of expediency, but of
justice. Yet no evil has come
from the experiment. My testi-
mony may be biased. for had |
received no woman's votes.
some one else would have the
pleasure of greeting you this
morning. But to me there has
come no just criticism as to the
participation OF women in pub

fond dreams that the Union of
the vigor, physical force and
courage of man with the higher
moral and spiritual qualities of
women will weave tor our
children fairer destiny than

LauriD. Governor OF the State
of Mississippi:
We, The undersigned citizens
and residents Of Lafayette
county. State Of Mississippi. ia
regard to one Gilbert I. Grimm,
lately convicted Of bigamy in
the Circuit Court of the State
Of Mississippi, at Oxford. to-wit
a, the March term, A. ID. ls9s.
and now serving a sentence in
the State pemtentiary, being To-
Gated ut Greenfield, Miss, would
most respectfully show into
your Honor as follows to-wit:
That the said Gilbert I. Griffin
was born and reared in the
county Of Calhoun. state Of Mis-
sissippi; that his tsther and
number of his relatives are
among the leading citizens Of
that county and of the county
Of Lafayette: that, at the early
age of fifteen, he was married To
q lady much his senior. against
the wishes and consent Of his
parents, and as il was develop
ed later. very much to his per-
sonsl disadvantage; that a num-
Der of years after this marriage,
when Ire was about 81 years of
age, he was married a second
time To q lady in this county.
for which second marriage he
was prosecuted for bigsmy. as
above stated. We would further
show unto your Honor that the
defendant, G. |. Griffin. neither
at the time of his first marriage
nor at any other time in life, was
of strong enough mind, as We
believe, to be held to that high
degree Of accountability which
the law requires Of ordinary
citizens; and although we know
that ignorance Of the law is not
defense, that the defendant
believed. at the time of his sec
ond marriage, and for some time
afterward, that the eireumstan-
ees Of his first marriage were
such that they we're not binding
upon him in law. he believing
that the marriage took place in
a county other than the county
in which the license was said TO
hive been issued: and the first
marriage had been entirely un-
suited to his tastes and inclina
tons. he was led to contract
the second, for which he was in
dicted. and has been sent to the
penitentisry. By neither Of
these marriages is he now. or
has he been for a period of four
years. bound in Law; and. some
time after his release from these
marriages, he contracted a mar
rage with another person who
Is now. and has been since that
time, his lawful wife, by whom
he has n child about one year
old: and neither his wife nor his
child has any Que to look to tor
a suppart except TO his labor,
and. IN his absence. she is com
PEELED to remain with his father.
We believe that the defendant
has alreedy been sufficiently
punished, that the Law has been
properly indicated, and that
this case is one wherein the ex-
eeutiye elemeney can properly
be used and we further believe
that the said G.. /. Griffin will
hereafter be and remain a Law
abiding citizen
Trusting that this petition
may find a favorable response
by a full and free pardon of said
u. /. Griffin We are,
Most respectfully,
