Chess Contest.

Mr.. M. d. McGrath, of Brookhaven,
Miss, the chess champion of the State,
and who also, by virtue of that title, is
president of the State Chess Associa-
ton, recently received letter from
Mr.. c. Q. De France, secretary of the
Nebraska State Chess Association, in
forming him that number of the
members of that organization had ex-
pressed desire to play a match by
correspondence with the members of
some other State association, and on
looking over the field decided to lay
the gauntlet at the feet of Mississippi.
Mr.. McGrath replied that he coul d
not accept the challenge positively I'M
til he had felt the pulse of the Missis-
sippi players, but that he would do so
at once, and that he felt confident
that the team could be organized and
ready for action in a short time. All
loyal Mississippians who are anxious
to enter the fray and SILVER lance
with the gallant Nebraskans are re-
quested to communicate with Mr. Nc
Grath promptly, notifying him of their
willingness to participate in the com
ing contest. - Sundays Times Demo-

1T is the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral McClurg," says the Brandon News,
that the board of supervisors may
legally make allowances for stamps for
circuit and chancery clerks. Why not
for the sheriff and treasurer as well?
Rankin county has for years paid post
age for the county superintendent,
who gets stated salary, but the other
officers named, getting the fees of their
respective offices, have had to pay
their own postage, which is consider
able item to the chancery clerk and
sheriff."

Carnival of yesterday by the eolored
people at Benevolent Hall last night.
One of the negroes, Jack Dewitt, jump
ed into the hall where the dancing was
in progress, and cursing and flourish
ing his pistol, began shooting Monroe
Magee returned the fire and a ball
from one of the pistols struck and in
stantly killed a young woman named
Ella Richardson. Magee was captured
and lodged in Jail, but Dewitt, who it
is thought did the killing, made his
escape Before Dewitt returned and
began the shooting he had been eject

in the shooting is very we'll known
here. The girl who was killed was the
