-"Can you tell me what sort of
weather we may expect next month";"
wrote a subscriber TO the editor of a
paper, and the editor replied as fol-
lows: sit is my belief that the
weather next month will be very
much like your subscription" The
inquirer wondered for an hour what
the editor was driving at, when he
happened to think of the word "un-
settled" He sent the required
amount the next day.
The Celebration and Reunion

Master John Dickson had a
narrow escape last week. Mrs.
Dickson and the children were on
their way to Whiteville. The boys
were allowed to get out of the bug
gy and play along the roadside in
the sand. John got into quick-sand,
sunk nearly to his arm-pits and was
going deeper, when with re-
markable presence of mind he grab
bed the root of a stump near by and
extricated himself from the perilous
position.

"The battlefield was visited
by many of the old soldiers
who have not been on this
historic ground since the bril-
liant and ever memorable vic
tory of Forrest and his men.
Most Of the Confederate and
Federal soldiers had been re-
moved from where they were
hastily buried on this battle
field. The writer was, how
ever, saddened by the neg
leet of two soldiers-one, j.
G.. Jourdan, First Sergeant,
Moreland's Alabama Battal-
ion, buried near the Phillips
house, with two cedar trees
to mark his resting place; the
other, j. S. King, Rice's Bat
terry, killed at the last posi-
ton taken by the artillery
which closed the fight. This
position was two and a half
miles fromBrice' CROSSROADS
and stubbornly contested, the
enemy charging up within a
few yards of the guns, but
driven back by double shot
ted canister; three members
of Morton's Artillery were
wounded, the gallant Lieut..
Tully Brown and his horse
killed, a number of artillery
horses were killed and wound
ed at this position. 1t is a
on the patriotism
of the people of that country
to allow those two gallant
soldiers, who gave up their
lives protecting their homes
and families, to be so long in
unmarked and uncared~ for
"The people of Tupelo,one
of the most enterprising
towns in North Mississippi,
gave the soldier boys a grand
welcome. The battlefield of
Harrisburg, only about two
miles distant, was visited, and
a great many who were
wounded on that bloody field
found the spot where they
caught the enemy's lead. 1t
was in this fight that a Sec
ton Of Morton's Battery,
commanded by Lieut.. Tully
Brown, had seven out of
eight men badly wounded
at one gun, his own horse
killed, number Of artillery
horses killed and wounded,
and the guns pulled off by
Eb Titus company. Rice's
Battery was badly disabled
and had to be pulled from the
field by the gallant Kentuck-
ians. Thrall's Battery was
to Rice's relief and
did valiant service. Harris
burg was one of the most
desperately fought battles Of
Forests Cavalry. Gen. Ste
phen Dice was in command.
Nearly every field officer of
Bells, Mabry's and the Ken
lucky brigades were killed
and wounded, and many COM
panies of those commands
came out of that battle COM
by Sergeants or Cor
porals, the officers all having
been killed and wounded. +"

We direct attention to the an
nouncement of Mr.. j. w. Jones,
who is candidate for Representa-
tive, subject to the action of the
democratic primary TO be held on
Thursday, August End. From 1891
to 1897, Mr.. Jones represented
Hardeman County in the lower
house of the General Assembly of
Tennessee. His ability was recog-
nized by b is colleagues, and he was
placed upon number of the most
important committees. He discharg-
ed his duties faithfully and well,
rejecting credit not only upon him
self but upon his constituents. His
record is clean. Mr.. Jones will not
have time to make as thorough can
vass of the county as he would like
to. He respectfully solicits the
support of all democrats at the
August primary, and promises if
elected to do his duty to the best of
his ability.
Three hundred and fifty panels
of three wire fence, belonging to
Mr.. John II. Marsh, in the 9Th dis
trict, were recently cut by unknown
parties. As will be seen from a
notice which appears elsewhere in
to-day's BULLETIN, Mr.. Marsh offers
a reward of fifty dollars for their
arrest and conviction. Mr.. Marsh
is a law-abiding citizen, honest, in
dustrious, kind to his neighbors and
is held in high esteem by all who
know him. He owns hundreds of
acres in Hatchie bottom, upon which
he pays taxes, and he willingly con-
sents for its use as a public pastur-
age. Because he saw fit to enclose
a few acres with a>lawful fence, he
has been made to suffer pecuniary
loss. Some people have greater
love for a razor-back hog than they
have respect for the majesty of the
law. We hope Mr.. Marsh will sue
coed in bringing the guilty parties
to justice.
The Teachers Institute, which
met here last week, was attended by
a number of as earnest teachers as
can be found in our state. They
came for work, and the grades they
made In examination showed how
we'll they succeeded. The attend
ance was not so large as at some
previous meetings, however the Sec
rotary reported seventy-three names
enrolled. Superintendent Hudson
has issued sixty-nine certificates,
twenty-three secondary and forty
six primary. He reports a most
satisfactory advancement on the
part of the teachers. The highest
average was made by Mr.. A. M. |
Scott, whose general average was
934 per cent. Miss Ella Mitchell, |
only thirteen years of age, is de-
serving of especial mention. She
entered the examination and made !
the necessary grade to merit a GER
tiicate. Miss Mitchell is a student
of the public school of Bolivar.
Her advancement should encourage |
our boys and girls to higher aspira-
tons.

THE Populist, Democratic and Silver Repub-
lican state conventions will be held at Ft. Scott,
July 24th. AT committee meeting at Topeka
an agreement was reached as to the division of
the state ticket. According to this agreement,
the Populists get governor, acknowledgements,
auditor, superintendent of public instruction,
attorne general congressman at-large, one
member of tie court of visitation and four
presidential electors The Democrats are to
have associate justice of the supreme court,
state treasurer, secrerary of state, solicitor of
court OF visitation, one member of same court
and four presidential electors. The Silver Re-
publicAns are to have superintendent of insur-
ance a member of the court of visitation and
two presidential electors. The federal patron
age, if Mckinley is defeated, is to be divided
in The proportion by which the electors are di-
vided. Of course, this agreement must be rat'
fed by the conventions to make it binding.

portion of paragraph 685I which allowed the
deduction of credits, thereby requiring the
creditor classes to pay taxes upon their prop

senate and died In the house. The bankers and
money.loaners which largely dominate the Re-
publican party did not approve these laws aud
the Republican party has effectually shelved
Geo l.. Douglass because portion of his house
bill was inserted into Senate No. 285. These
same bankers and money-loaners would injure
the influence of Judge Dennison if they could,
but he belongs to party which is not controll-
ed by them and they are powerless TO reach him.
1t will be noticed that the Republican house of
1895 would not help to pass laws against the
interests of the classes. They probably remem-
bered the fate of Douglass and sought to placate
their masters. He belongs to a party which
approves of his course in assisting the untort-
innate; the needy; the debtors; the producers
and wage-earners, andthey are proud OF him be-
of his open defiance of the powerful and mon
eyed classes
Judge Dennison has done this work, and has

nison while in the state senate. perusal of
the journals will show that he voted with the
masses upon every proposition which was sub
mitted to the enates while he was member.
The coal miners, the railway employees, the
mechanics, the farmers, the stock men and, in
fact, all laboring and producing classes know
they have friend in him. and none are his en-
emies except those who are endeavoring to op-
press their fellownen. The journals also show
record of hard work and diligence rarely
equaled. The journal of 1895 shows that he
answered every roll-call except three, and then
voted at the next roll-call those three times.
Beside this close attention to his duties on the
fl ,o., he was chairman of the judiciary commit
Ice and member of several others, and his
work was always well done.
The Advocate is informed by reliable attor-
ney that no law passed by the Legislature of 1893
or 1895 has been declared unconstitutional
by the courts, nor has the title to any act been
successfully assaied. This speaks volumes for
the whole legislature, and especially for the
chairman OF the judicial committee of the sem
ate.

Porferho,,se Steak.

If one is willing to pay dollar
for choice porterhouse steak at one
of the best city restaurants he will
be surprised with the possibilities
connected with the great standard
American dish. 1t will be nothing in
common with the beefsteaks as u.s.
ually served at the homes and hotels
of the country. 1t will be thick, ten
der as chicken, broiled over a char
coal fire to turn, and be a tooth
some dish long to be remembered.
We recently asked the black genius
who presided over the kitchen of a
railway dining car where such steak
is served, how it was prepared. He
told us that only the steak of the
very best corn-fed steers was used;
that after the steak was bought it
was hung up in an ice box until it
feathered out, as he expressed it, that
is, until a feathery fungus growth
developed upon it; when taken from
the box it was a very uninviting look
ing thing, but it is then carefully
wiped with a dry cloth and then
broiled over charcoal Goals. The ten
derness, juiciness and flavor are the
result of this curing process to which
the meat is subjected.

the tree in such a manner as to get
the greatest good out of 1t. 1t is the
almost universal fault that the ever.
green for windbreak will be planted
too thick, or too close to other de-
cidious, fast-growing trees, such as
soft maple, cottonwood and the like.
To become of value as a windbreak
the base of the evergreen must be
well developed, and in order to so
develop it, it must have a space not
less than twenty-four feet square in
which to do it. Planted more thickly
than this the trees soon crowd each
other, and the lower limbs die, thus
defeating the very object for which
the trees were planted. Two rows
of Scotch pine set "a feet apart,
breaking joints in the rows, will make
a better protection against the wind
when fifteen years old than will six
rows of the trees set ~ feet apart.
