An Old Resident Asks to Be Locked Up to
Keep Away From Drink-An Assault and
Battery Case.
Last evening about ten o'clock an old
grey haired man entered Justice Rog-
ers Office, hat in hand. His nervous
system seemed to be totally wrecked as
he stood before the Justice, swaying
gently to and fro. The man had plain
ly been drinking. There were tears in
his eyes when having been asked to
state his business he said: Squire, 1
just came in to see if you couldn't do
something for me-"
What is it you want done?" asked
the Justice.
81 want you to lock me up so that
can get over this SPREE" was the re,
ply.
How long have you been on this
drunk?" he was asked.
"a month, or maybe six weeks" was
the answer.
The old man gave his name as Will
liam Collins and stated that for twenty
years he was brakeman on the B. &
O. railroad.
He was given ten days in Jail, as re-

Military Meeting.

Company II, Mississippi National

and completed the election of officers.
Second Lieutenant w. G.. Penn, pre-
sided. The meeting was called to or
der and the election of all non commits
stoned officers took place. A great
deal of interest is manifested in the
company and as there are good many
members in the company who went to
Chickamauga, we predict that this will
be one of the finest drilled companies
in the State in few months.
First Sergeant A. L. Powell has re-
ceived letter from Adjutant General
Henry which is very complimentary to
Company H. As soon as the enlist
ment roll is signed and forwarded to
Gen. Henry, guns and uniforms will be
forwarded. The former Co. H. here
was one of the crack companies of the
State, and as many of the old members
have joined, they hope to sustain their
former reputation. After the guns
and uniforms arrive the company will
drill up and try and get in trim so
that they will be able to attend the
State encampment at Biloxi this year.
The company will meet again next
Monday night, at which time full at

The kissing Bug" in Brookhaven.


For two weeks Washington has been
infested with bug which preys upon
the countenances of sleeping citizens
and leaves them unrecOgnizable
and suffering with intense pain.
There have been 300 victims of the bug
treated at the various city hospitals
and dispensaries. How many more
have suffered cannot be told. To
entomologists the bug is known as the
melanolestes picipes ("kissing bugD.
1t belongs to a group that feeds on
other insects in preference to plants.
It's liking for human blood is habit
of recent acquisition. In the West it
when in large numbers frequently
attacks horses.
According to the entomologists the
favorite food of the picipes is a bedbug
and it is particularly fond of speci-
mems freshly charged with human
blood. The picipes when full grown
is about one inch in length, and is
characterized by flatened body and
very narrow pointed head 1t has
short, strong beak with a point as
sharp as that of mosquito. 1t is jet
black in color and is night flyer.
The piercing of the victims skin is
accompanied by no perceptible SEN
sation, but the swelling sets in almost
Immediately. With the swelling comes
intense burning pain lasting of
ten from two to four days. The part
punctured swells to ten times its nor
NAL size in almost every case. Physi-
clans use solution of collodion in
treating the bug bite cases. This re-
reduces the swelling in from forty
eight to seventy two hours.
On last Monday morning Mr.. John
E. Seavey discovered one of these
vicious bugs in the vestibule of his
residence in Brookhaven, and where
it had just captured and was preying
upon huge spider four times it's own
size. Since he has had it on exhibition
at his store, and it correspon des with
the description of the kissing bug" per
fectly. Our readers should be on the
lookout for them.

Plain Talk from One of the Govern
Or'S Friends.

The Reporter. published at Forest,
Scott county, under the heading of
"An selm j. McLaurin," contains the
following, which is fully self explana-
tory:
mo man who has ever been an active
politician in Mississippi has enjoyed
more loyal following, one that had
stood unwaveringly by him through
good and through evil report, than has
the gentleman whose name heads this
article, and he should be as loyal and
true to that following as it has been to
him. He owes much more to his
friends than his friends owe to him,
aud he should not place them in an
embarrassing attitude politically,
either by evasion, quivocation or other
wise. That he has made mistakes
since his induction into the Office of
governor. his most sanguine friends
and ardent admirers cannot truth
| fully gainsay, for it is human to err,
and McLaurin has not passed beyond
that pale, but he should meet those
mistakes in frank, open and states
man-like manner, and not try to pose
as a political immaculate or resort to
the questionable tactics of the non
committal witness by the adoption of
the subterfuge, 81 don't recollect."
| He owes it to his friends to meet all
charges brought against his admins
tration in an honorable and truthful
manner, and no man, friend or foe,
will accept the statement published in
the Times Democrat of last Saturday
in regard to the Spectator commune
ton, crediting him with saying that
he had absolutely no recollection of
having written anything of the kind"
Among the press of the State none
have been more loyal in the support
of the candidacy of Governor McLau-
rim than has been the Reporter, and
it would dislike very much to believe
the governor made such a statement
with the expectancy that the intelli-
gent people of the State would accept
it as final solution of a matter he had
publicly denied but was afterward con-
| fronted with fac-simile of the docu-
ment he was charged with having writ
ten. There is not an intelligent man in
Mississippi but who knows that IL Nc
Laurin wrote the communication in
question that he (McLaurin) has the
event as fresh in his mind as he had
the day it was written. To believe
OtnefWlSe would be TO rank him AS
semi-dementate. If he did not write
the Spectator communication, he
should say so in plain and unequivocal
language and then stand firm and I'M
wavering by his denial. If he did
write the communication bis admis-
sion should be open, frank and force
full. He is seeking the senatorship as
an Endorsement of his administration
as governor. but he cannot rightfully
expect such Endorsement if he cannot
maintain an honorable attitude in the
canvass he is now making. The friends
and admirers of politicians are always
loath to part political company with
their favorites, but no man Is so poll
tically immaculate but what he can
reach point where self respect will
force his most ardent adrt - and
tenacious supporters to pa itical
company with him.
The Governor is bold campaigner,
but be has not raised direct question
of veracity with that Spectator letter
since Allen had fac smile published.

none truer or more faithful to the
cause of Christ than our dear Pastor
b. A. Crawford. As brave as lion

to be admired by all who knew him.
Churches, neighborhoods, families and
individuals will miss his counsel and
regret that such a good man has been
removed from our midst.

of superior worth, and that of the
many, Mississippi never had preach
err more faithfuland true, nor one more
implicitly trusted, nor more univers-
ally loved than this warm hearted, I'M
spotted Christian gentleman who left
one of the brightest records of the
history of Mississippi. As a Baptist,
his name will be recorded as the syno-
MIN of exalted patriotism and true
manhood, unselfish and faithful to
doctrine and to duty.
8. That we realize that in his death
prince, great man, has fallen this
day in Israel, and all who knew him
felt that they had lost friend
over whose grave it is manly to drop
tear.

ones pesonally bereaved by his death,
and we commend them to Him that
doeth all things we'll
