FROM EDGAR.

The nice rain Sunday continued too
long.
We had no Sunday School at Topisaw
last Sabbath on account of the rain.
Floyd w. Summers, formerly of Ed
gar, now at Ship Island, recently sent
home novel beauty consisting of three
Silver leaves from South Africa,
which he obtained on a ship at the
Island.
We made business trip to Denver
p. o. and found the Union folks in good
earnest and much encouraged regard
ing their school interest. They are
building handsomely their new house.
Success to them.
Since our last writing, Mr.. Richard s.
Lawrence, of Southeast Lincoln, fell
dead near his home. He had been la.
boring as usual during the day, and
in the afternoon, walked over to a
country store where he died. Mr.. Law
renee was a farmer and good citizen.
The peach crop in this section, judg.

Died, on last Friday night, the little

Storms Cafe is the neatest place in
town.
Mr.. Robert Stamps was "a Sunday
visitor to New Orleans.
We very much regret to hear of the
serious illness of Mr.. Vernon Smith, of
Union Hall. Our county has all too
few such men as he.
Mr.. Balaam Smith died at his home
near Thayer this morning. His funeral
services will be conducted by Rev. r. j.
Boone, at Mount Moriah, tomorrow.
Rev. \. r. Bond came up from Mag
nolia Saturday evening with the eX-
pectation of holding services at the
Baptist church the next day, but a
sudden recurrence of illness compelled
him to return home on the next train.
The welcome whistle of the Pearl

LOCAL FLOODS.

Excessive Rainfall Throughout the state.
There has been very heavy rainfall
in all parts of Mississippi since last
Saturday. The rain began at Brook
haven Saturday night and continued
with short intermissions through Sun
day and Sunday night, Monday and
Monday night. The rainfall Monday
afternoon was unusually heavy, and
doubtless did great damage to crops,
fencing and bridges in the county.
The bridge across McCall's creek, on
the upper Brookhaven and Meadville
road, is the only one we have heard of
being swept away so far.
The damage to crops is very great in
the way of loss of fertilizers and injury
to the stands of cotton and corn. Many
farmers who had their cotton planted
will be short of seed for a second
planting
The floods have been destructive to
railroad traffic. There have been seri-
Gus breaks in the |. G. Railroad north
and south of Brookhaven, and there
have been no through trains to and
from New Orleans since Sudday night.
The first mail received from the North
since Sunday afternoon came this
morning The telegraph wires have
been down and are still down between
here and New Orleans. Regular trains
cannot possibly be resumed before to-
morrow

The last entertainment of the Ly-

Cadmus Club, took place on Saturday
night. Owing to the lateness of the
week and the remote hour at which
the evening was advertised to begin,
there was not large audience present,
but the entertainment was merito-
rious one, if not quite as excellent as
those that preceded it. We congrat-
ulate the Cadmeans upon the brilliant

The vtCe.preSl0enC nominee, 0OV'

comes the president by proxy-Hanna,
and he's gone. Why all this terrific
effort on the part of the biggest guns in

Hanna and whole lot Of other fellows
have been thrown into this state to try
and defeat Senator Pettigrew. 1t is
the greatest compliment ever paid q
United States Senator. It would seem
that Pettigrew amounts to something
after ALL The whole power Of the
Hanna party has been hurled against
one lone senator from state with only
two congressman, and four electoral
votes. Pettigrew must be the very
devil" himself to call for such terrific
efforts on the part Of the great corrup.
ZIONIST Hanna, who wants to steal
seventy million dollars for so-called
shipping subsidy bill. Hanna knows
he can't steal this enormous sum or any
part Of it from the people if Pettigrew
Ia in the senate. This is reason enough
whv Pettirrew should be returned to

~ Hanna shonld vote for Pettigrew
members Of the legislature. Just think
Of the men and measures used to defeat
the gallant Dakota statesman. The
Numbering gang who rob the people

afraid Of the honest. fearless Pettigrew
than anv other man in the senate. Say,
