She has many friends in Bolivar,
who regret her departure.

and his recovery is doubtful.

Whiteville, visited Bolivar relatives

Pontotoc, Miss, where she expects

year.
That honest old gentleman,
good democrat and brave ex-Con-

Mr.. Julius Crawford brought to
our Office Tuesday bunch of "Vel-

-Messrs. w. J. Cox, Julius
Crawford, and }. A. Foster appear
ed before the State Board of Equal
ization at Nashville this week for
the purpose of securing, if possible,
a reduction of the 90 per cent. in
crease on property in Hardeman
County, recently added by said
Board. The result of their efforts
we have not learned, but we hope
they will succeed in having the
assessment, which is considered by
many as unjust, reduced.

day, September 10th, after second
seasons overwhelming success il
Madison Square Garden, New York
city, seem to be fully justified in it's
advertising claims by the many
good and impartial things said of it.
Every newspaper in New York
praised it to the limit, and Senator
Chauncey M. Depew voiced the
general opinion in saying: "Your
show is novel, brilliant, up-to-date,
exhilarating and absolutely clean"
"The biggest circus that New York
ever saw" says the World, and
that is just what everyone, every
where, who has seen it says.
The listed living wonders and high
class acts and races supply enough
entertainment to astonish and amuse
a nation. The biggest canvases on
earth are filled with the biggest col
lection of rarest wild beasts, the
biggest herds of performing ele-
plants, the biggest troupes and
schools of trained quadrupeds and
amphibia, and the biggest circus
and hippodrome companies, who
present a hundred splendid acts and
races in three rings, on elevated
stages and pedestals, overhead, and
on the biggest course ever canopied.
To particularize would be impossi-
BILE, but an idea of the stupendous
scale upon which the aggregation is
conducted may be gathered from the
fact that it employs thousand men

Jester arrived at his destination with some of Gates possessions, but Gates himself never re- appeared alive Relatives who set forth to find him discovered what they thought to be signs of blood on the snow, and his body was said to have been seen floating down a stream, but even that appears to be uncertain. Jes- ter after being arrested managed to es- cape and lived under an alias for many years until his rearrest several months ago.
 A great many witnesses have been summoned. but how much they can re- member remains to be seen. Whatever evidence there is is expected to be large ly circumstantial and if Jester is con- victed generation after the crime of which he Is accused the case will be a celebrated one.

THE BOY FOR THE GIRLS.

| Whom shall the wise girl marry? The one who will make her the best hus-
 band, of course Who is he? The Co., lumbia (MissourD Herald knows, and is benevolent enough to tell the wise girl The wise girl, says the Herald, sets her cap for the country boy. True, he wears overalls and has brown hands and his feet are in his way when he walks. But he is worth a dozen of the town dudes, with their white fingers and high collars and unpaid laundry
 bills And take country boy who will
 stay in the country. He Is free man.
 The town boy is a slave. He works all
 his life at meagre salary and spends
 that in ways not always commendable
 There are town sweethearts who are
 worth something. There are some who
 do not expect to have their wives sup
 port them by keeping boarders. There are some who do not loaf on the streets
 Sundays and stay up late at night
 There are town fellows almost equal to the boys from the backwoods. But be-
 ware of the other kind. Stick to the country sweethearts and stay stuck"
 There is more truth thap poetry in what the Herald says. Considerably more. The country boy, who wears overalls, can't manage his feet we'll and will stay in the country is often a mat rimonial prize, and the wise girl will discern his value. But the wisest girl will set her cap for the country boy af- ter he has come into the city, conquered fortune learned to play golf and say By love" properly at the proper time. That's when the country boy is the best husband and when he most appreciates the inestimable advantage and privilege of being married by the wisest girl

AN IMP EssrYE srA rEM ENT.

| A Chinese imperial decree dated June 29 has just been made public. We print ! it this morning. It will strike most 1readers as very honest and reasonable document. It shows how the trouble arose and how it got beyond control. It shows how some of the foreigners ag- gravated the situation, and how the sit uation was taken advantage of by law less persons. As indicating why more lowing is interesting: "The imperial government was by no means reluctant to issue orders for the entire suppression of this insurgent element. But as the trouble was so near at hand, there was
 a great fear that due protection might
 not be assured to the legations if the
 anarchists were driven to extremities,
 thus bringing on a national calamity.
 There also was a fear that uprisings
 might occur in the provinces of Chihli and Shantung at the same time, with
 the result that both foreign mission
 aries and Chinese converts in the two provinces might fall victims to popular fury" The following significant ques-
 tions are also asked: Even supposing that China were not conscious Of her true condition, how could she take such step as to engage in war with all the powers simultaneously, and how could she, relying upon the support of an an- archistic populace, go into war with the powers?'
 The Chinese government has either been very wicked and willy or very un- fortunate. It has all along seemed pre- posterous to think that it was foolish enough to be willing to draw on itself the wrath of the civilized world Per haps the correct view of the situation Is that there has been anarchy in China which couldn't be or wasn't efficiently dealt with.

Naturally this is not easy, since lace trimmings are continuously stylish, but making the trimming count through it's quantity alone is so expensive that a fine premium is put on ingenuity in these matters. The design pictured here was unusual. and was commendable, besides, for not requiring q big quantity of lace. The skirts band is not often duplicated in skirt pleated all around as this one was, and the bodice's tabs were quite unconventional. Black vel vet In belt and bands was the only trimming. The dress goods was white mohair. It might be almost any sty- fish dress goods, so generally are laces employed in kindred ways.

Linen skirts of outing length, flannel shirt, with loose soft stock, ugly black tennis shoes--for the sake of rubber soles, probably-and a trimmed sailor--that may be one com bination. Another will include a long black skirt, rather baggy shirt waist, with low collar, tailor serge coat that hangs loose, a soft black felt hat, with a drop veil of gray beige flying about. Altogether is will be found that almost goes--that is, almost anything but distinctive yachting suits

EOK IND MONEY,

It is announced that M. M Hanna,
 who, as chairman of the Indianapolis monetary commission, has spent the past three years in efforts to educate the people of the country on the finan- cial question, has determined to make use of the machinery of his organiza- tion in the coming campaign. The talk is that instead of carrying on a general work of education and instruction this year MT. Hanna will limit his labors to certain localities. He will use his influence to aid in the election of sound money congress, and to this end will do what he can to bring success to gold candidates for election to the House of Representatives, as well as to sound money men who are candidates for positions in legislatures that will next year select United States sena- tors. The work of the monetary con- mission during the coming campaign will be strictly non- partisan, having for it's sole object the election of sound money men. In following out this pol icy it will help Democrats and Repub- licans alike. Tn the Congressional dis tricts MT. Hanna will specially inter- fere when silver Democrats and gold Republicans are opposing each other. Should free silver Republican be mak- ing a fight against a sound money Democrat, or vice versa, the support of the monetary commission would be thrown to the candidate favorable to gold, irrespective of other considera- tions.
 As MT. Hanna is very shrewd and able man his help will be valuable to sound money candidates who need it.

Originality In Lmce Tr'mn'ngs.
 Silk gloves have been seized upon with thankfuness. They are at last so well made that they look as we'll on the hand as do kid. They are especially pretty in white with wide black stitch ing. In havana brown they look very well, particularly when a veil of the same color is worn, and It is said that this shade robs the heat of the sun of all tanning qualities. Black silk gloves with white stitching and big pearl but tons look well, and linen color for wear with linen gowns is just as stylish and eomfortable-think of that combination! -as can be.
 Originality in lace trimmings is quite as much to be desired as is richness, and can be attained without great out lay if a novel scheme can be prepared.

Lawyers and others will be interested in the case of Alexander Jester, who is souri, for murder. The crime of which he is accused was committed thirty in 1871 in company with a young man, Gilbert Gates, by wagon to
