 At the opening of the spring and summer season, there was quite stir among our city officials and numerous citizens in agitating the matter of san- itation, and while this spasm lasted our town M was watched closely and garbage. hlth and unsightly rubbish carried be- yonu the city limits. Every precau- tion was taken to promote health and cleanliness. but the enthusiasm soon spent itself and now our streets are filling up with all sorts of plunder and the garbage wagon is thing of the past. The board of health should be the proper body to furnish solution lfor these conditions and bring about reaction of interest in keeping our streets and alleys cleaned and renova- ted. Stagnant hog wallows all over the city should be filled and the weeds along the sidewalks should be cut. These things are unsigatly and are the subjects of much LnfayoraEle com ment.
 The Choctaws will go to Memphis next Monday and Tuesday to engage in a couple of match games with the Champion Chicasaws, the ball team which bears the greatest reputation of any organization of it's kind in the South. Manager Long has been work ing diligently and consistently to se- cure dates with the Chicks, and now that he has been successful is making d strong effort to put the Cboctaws in shape to win. We must have one of these games and the boys should be coniident of pulling off at least one victorious event. Arrangements are being made for a special train from Forrest City to Memphis and return over the Choctaw. and the gang of rooters which will flourish the Blue and White in the Bluff City on those days will make the denizens tremble and send the Chicasaws in fear to their wigwams. On next Thursday and Friday, July 26 aud 27, we will have the Florence Ala. team with us, and two match games with them on home grounds will be the greatest attractions of the season.
 II Sandy Spencer, negro farmer from the lower part of the county, is now in durance vile charged with the murder of a white farmer named Busby who was renting land from him this season. From the testimony in tnIs case, adduced by the coroner, 1t ap- pears that Spencer killed Busby in cold blood. and that tine crime was premed- itated and with malice, aforethought. The particulars i'll the case make it ap- pear that his chances before the courts in clearing himself of the charge are very meager. It seems that Spencer ]. desired to store d lot of plunder in one of the outhouses on the place he had rented to Busby. Bu3by objected to this, and Spencer insisted. and finally sent his boy over with the things
 Bnsby refused to let the boy unload them and the boy returned to his father. Both then came back to Bus. by's and Spencer carried his Winches- ter When Spencer arrived he said he , intended 10 put the things iE the house and began to unload them. Busby started out to the place to object, and . the negro shot him down. killing him . almost instantly. Busby's wife shot the negro with squirrel shot from a } shotgun, and perhaps Busby himself also shot at the negro. He was pep [ pered with sh)t and so badly scared
 that he came to town for medical treat , ment, and gave himself up to the officers.
