vicinity, at date to be named between

folks at church, aud Miss Eva Reeves
one of our best Sunday school girls, is
home again, from Wesson.
Many of the Topisaw folks attended
church at Pleasant Hill Sunday and
very much enjoyed the splendid SER
mons delivered by Rev. j. NJ. Richey
and Rev. b. n. Hatch. Sawdust was
there: let him number the people and
the candidates.
Mr.. A. M. Summers has recovered
from his severe sickness so as to be on
his feet again, ready for the dusty
ways in the canvass for Representa-
tive, provided the very much desired
rain does not come and settle the dust,
and call him to his farm work too
closely.
There will be a public meeting at
the Armory on Thursday night for the
purpose of organizing a Company of
National Guards. All who are inter

We are sure there are some candi-
dates for office, in the county, for we
saw them Sunday, but they have not
invaded beat much yet. Hon. Edward

A Boy Charged with killing His
Father.

Jacob Watson a colored boy seven
teen years of age, was brought before
Justice Mcmillan by Sheriff Apple
white on Saturday, charged with the
murder of his father, Jocob Watson,
ST., an old man over seventy years of
age, at his farm some four miles west
of Brookhaven.
The old man was found lying on his
face in the yard unconscious. There
were indications that he had been
struck on the head and seriously woun-
ded. Hon. A. c. McNair, attorney for
defendant, had witnesses subpGned
to show that the death of the old man
did not result from the injuries in
fiicted upon him.
In order to obtain futher evidence
as to the cause of death the court con-
tinued the case until today at 10
o'clock A. NJ, when the examination
will be concluded.

Unchecked brutality.

1t is very different, the treatment of
domestic animals in Paris. There, if
you live in n hotel on one of the mar
row streets of the Latin quarter, you
will be kept awake all night long by
the never ending cracking of the whips
and the whitening cuts as they are laid
hard and stinging over the backs of the
limpinG. half starved horses that draw
the voltures and fiacres.
If Il cab horse Stumbles and falls to
his knees in Paris, the driver does not
run to the nearest apothecary'S for %
confines worth of linimcnt to battle
the scratched knees. as the London
cabby does for tuppence worth. He
simply gets down from his seat and,
taking the butt end of his whip, beats
the horse over the head until he clam
bCrs to his feet; then, after administer
ing Il couple of kicks from a No. 13
hobnailed boot, he mounts his box and
drives along.
The tram horses are constantly bella
bored with whip and sworn at in the
arGOt of Paris, and the result, strange
as it may seem, is that it takes you
longer to go mile in n fiacre in Paris
with the horses being whipped all the
time than it does the same distance in
London when not once during the drive
will the animal feel the touch of the
lash.-Detroit Free Press.
