HORSE ON REED
Chiefot Pound Department Los4s d
 Customer.

The pound has been doing a very nice horse business recently, mules are in evidence as. also cows are found quite frequently. Ttis @ suc- cessful business, but a man, like m all other businesses of importance, has to keep pounding away.
 This time, however, it seems that the chief Of the COW department lost ca valuable horse by letting the same do his own pounding. The immediate cause of death, as we learn from a reliable source, was hydrophobia. Dog days as we are aware are over. The anima! ex- pired in about five minutes. Sad ness now yeila the financial part oi the enterprise.

SAYS HON. w. H. LANGFORD IN REFERENCE TO THE
 COTTON CROP.
FAIR TO BE A PEACH.
The Wings of Electricity are Tapping Towards Us-RaiI-
 roads Making Living.

Hon. N. H. Langford has recently returned from an extensive and in- teresting trip to the North and East. A Graphic reporter was today ush- cred into the presence of that affable and pleasing gentleman. who is president of the Citizens Bank of this city. We ascertained that tue peo- pie all over the country feel very in- dlgBant over the Dreyfus affair. Mir. Laneford says from Maine down the line, manifestations are evident.
 When asked regarding the pros pects of cotton he remarked that "The South is bought; gutnres will go down after awhile; iB fact they always get us." He feels highly elat- cd over the prospects that are daily creeping over the Fair horizon. He says the Flair will be the best we have ever had" Jefferson county should have reason to be proud of the efforts being made by the enter prising citizens who have assisted in making the Fair what t has been heretofore.
 AS to future candidates for Gov ernor, Mir. LengforG was rather re- ticent, believing of course that 1t would be best not to say anything, as it would be eoDiectural on his part. However, we ascertained the following: That the issues now be- ing discussed by Vandeyenter and Attorney General Davis will mt af- feet the candidacy of prospective Gubernat0rial bees Railroad business is making living but ex- pect it to increase shortly" said Mir. LanSford.
 "In short, in lieu of the many ef- forts set forth by our citizens we are going to have a Fair that every citi- zen can feel proud of; onreotton crop will be TO disparagement to antici- pators of wealth, and in fact. us the old saying, we ought so be in a measure like the railroad business, making a living and helping Jeffer. son county along the road to pre- gressiveness,
 "Our electric street railway is a much needed industry. IT. would be a paying one; one that would reap a harvest. The rubber tired carriages now in operation in this city are the best evidences one could hope to offer as an illustration of tho assertion. and we believe.ere long, we will have good luck and prosperity with us on the wings of electricity"

BEAUTY BRIGHT
A Bevy of Pretty School Girls Left
 Last Night.

The Cotton Belt depot last night was the recipient of a scene similar to that portrayed in gay ball room where music aud merriment constitute the ingredients of pleas ure; and so it was with the young ladies, their mirth and laughter was like the ripping brook on a still night and music was in their voices. Their parents and friends were present to wish them a fond adieu. Several coaches of young ladies from Texas and other points arrived on the night train. Those we will miss from young society's realm are as follows: Miss Blanche Hutton. of Little Rock, Misses Bes. sic Atwood, Arie Ferguson, Lo- rinne Hightower and Edith Stewart of this city. Their chaperone was Arthur Dryburgh, the young son of Mir. Alex Dry burgh proprietor of the Hotel Trulock.
