WELLMAN NOTES.
BY SAwDUST.

We are glad to see that Bro. j. A.
Scarborough has not yet decided to
move out of our community.
The happiest man in the county is
Mr. H. A. Kinchens, who in about his
50th year has become the father of his
first son.
Rev. Mr.. Bullock, of Lawrence
county, came in last Sunday to fill his
appointment, but the weather was SO
bad that services were postponed.
Continued rains, high water and
muddy roads. But it doesn't keep
people from attending the circuit
court, as they remember that Judge
Powell is on the bench.
One of our farmers reports that he
has sold one bale of cotton and 13
o'possums and settled his entire ac-
count with five dollars to spend. He
says he traded with coon."
We are glad to know that two of our
citizens have been appointed grand Ju-
rors. Probably they will find out who
it is cutting the brides and saddles
during preaching hours at this place.
We hope so, anyway.
When the town liar saw the start
ling account of Jeem's intention to put
up brindle gravy factory in competi-
ton to Busby & Tyler's rice machine,
he was left in the condition of the
Irishman who was knocked complete
somersault by minnie ball striking
the buckle of his cartridge belt. When
asked. ."Pat. are YOU dead?" he replied
"No, bejasus, but I'm spachless."

The Independent is severe upon
the Governor of Mississippi, who
ran from the yellow fever: "YellOw
fever is no worse than were the
bullets of Santiago hill, where he
sent Mississippians to do their duty
and not run away. 1t was as much
his duty to stand at his post and
risk death as it was for the physi-
clans or the clergymen." Missis-
sippians are the bravest of the
brave, and if their governor has
shown himself a coward, they will
reckon with him.-Western Re

A Sure Sign of Group.

Hoarseness in child that is subject
to Group is q sure indication of the
change of disease. If Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough has appeared, it will
prevent the attack. Many mothers
who have croupy children always keep
this remedy at hand and find that it
saves them much trouble and worry.
1t can always be depended upon and
is pleasant to take. For sale by G. b.
Grafton.

BOGUE CHITTO DOTS.
BY JEEMS.

Out of a voting capacity of over 30
there were only IL votes cast at Pine
Grove on election day.
With Bogue Chitto river running
within stones throw of our city, why
can't re have waterworks, too?
1t is bit amusing to hear some of
our old bachelors relate their hair
breadth escapes from matrimony.
In the person of Capt. Harris, Bogue
Chitto can boast of having as clever a
depot agent as there is on the |. G. II. K.
Many of our farmers contemplate
enlarging their cane and rice patches
next year, and planting only little
cotton for table use.
There is some talk of |. w. Tyler
returning to Bogue Chitto and engag-
ing in the mercantile business. We
will welcome you, Ira.
We have telephone exchange, which
is quite convenient. We can now go
to our dining room, sit down to our
table, say grace and phone John My
ers to send us our meals-all of which
can be done by telephone, without the
wear and tear of chopping stove wood.
The ink had scarcely dried on our
paper last week when our road con-
tractor, Calvin Brister, was transport
ing that awful mud hole into the will
derness. We trust it will go the way
of Aaron's ram. Bro. Brister says the
law provides that the ascent of hill
on the road shall not be more than one
foot to twelve, but the Harrison hill is
not built according to law.

A warrant was issued last week for
the arrest of Ex-Gov. Lowry, charging
him with violating the Rankin county
quarantine law. The Governor asserts
that he went into Rankin on a permit
from DR.. Hunter, which was accepted
by the Rankin quarantine guards.

The Southern Farm Gazette, of Stark
vile, announces that accurate and
exhaustive tests will be made this win
ter by the Mississippi Experiment
Station as to the relative feeding values
of cotton seed, cotton seed meal and
hulls, and perhaps other feeds. Di-
rector Hutchinson says the biggest
leak on the Mississippi farms to-day is
the loss of such immense quantities of
feedstuffs in allowing cotton seed and
it's products to leave the farm and be
shipped to distant states or countries,
and even allowing it to go direct to the
land without passing through animals

Rev. Eugene A. Taylor, who on the
first Sunday in October entered upon
the pastorate of Vicksburg's First Bap-
tist church, died suddenly last week.
He was a magnificent specimen of Wig
orous manhood, of superb intellectual
endowment and consecrated follower
of the Man of Sorrow. His demise is
noted with deepest regret by numerous
Mississippi College students of score
of years ago, as we'll as by friends
this State and Tennessee.

The whole State will mourn the loss
of Mrs. Annie G. Peyton, who died at
her home in Columbus, Saturday morn
ing, at the age of 46. Mrs. Peyton was
one of the most brilliant and scholarly

brain that the plan for the establish
ment of the Industrial Institute and
College originated. Deceased was the
widow of the late Hon. E. G. Peyton, a

About Selling

grade cotton for which
we offered him +. SOC per lb. He
thought the bid too low and de-
cided to try the market. He
sold the cotton to another store
for 4.35. He came back very
much elated over the sale and
asked us to 90 over the bill to see
if the calculations were correct.
The calculations were all right,
but we called our friends atten-
tion to the bill of goods he had
bought and paid for out of the
cotton. There was an overcharge
of 25c on a barrel of flour and
15c on a half barrel of flour-a
total of 40c on these two items
alone. The advance of sc per
100 lbs. on the bale of cotton on
ly amounted to 25c. Our friend
therefore actually lost 15c on the
deal, besides the advance which
he had no doubt paid on the other
goods he bought.
We only recite this little cir
cumstance to show what a sure,
safe thing it is to trade with a
one-price straight house.
We sell you goods right and
give you the highest price
for your cotton. We do not
want it at less than its worth.
We class it right and give you
the highest price possible for the
grade.
