Eight-WheeIed Wagons,

Writing in the Southern Farm Ga
zette, Prof. w. c. Welborn says that
while at Somerville, Miss, recently, he
visited new industry that is assum-
ing large proportions in the town. 1t
is wagon factory where an eight
wheel wagon is made. The wagon is
designed mainly for hauling logs, pos
sessing great strength and has low
wheels, so as to be easily loaded. The
eight wheel arrangement so shifts the
load that it saves much in draught,
and the wagon is not only coming into
general use for logging, but is being
used with great profit hauling ordinary
freight, some forty barrels of flour
being an ordinary load. DR.. S. w.
Lindsey is proprietor of this factory,
and his brother, John Lindsey, is pat
entee of the wagon. DR.. Lindsey also
manufactures log -skidder, by means
of which man and pair of mules or
oxen can handle the largest log with
ease. The log g-skidder would be a
great thing for farmers to handle the
fallen timber. Log rollings would be
unnecessary. Two or three men could
pile logs with one of these as rapidly as
twelve men would without it. A man
with it can roll his logs while he is us
ually inviting his neighbors to help
him. 1t will prove as great labor
saver on the farm as it has in the log
ging camp"

FROM EDGAR.

We notice that while the cotton
is shedding some.
The rains have been very light in
this immediate section now for several
days, and therefore suitable weather
for hoeing cotton and saving fodder.
The political pulse of some of our
citizens is beginning to beat rather
strong even now, and by next Satur-
day they will be 16 to L. We are COM
ing.
Our lodge lectures were we'll attended
for three days last week, and our ar
tiSt, Miss Ola Williams, came over and
proficiently took our pictures in a
group.
A goodly number of the Edgar peo-
pie attended the protracted meeting
at Pleasant Hill Church Sunday, and
report good time, some rain and a
multitude of people.
Squire Summers went up in the
Union neighborhood early Monday
morning and celebrated matrimonial
rites between Mr.. Louis Mcdaniel and
Miss Ella Lea. This was the seventh
pair he has ceremonially joined to-
gether this year, and still it rains oc-
casionally.
Our jolly old friend of "Irish kim"
Mr.. A. G. Clendenning with his wife,
formerly Jennie Belle Wooley, love-
ly neighbor girl,) has gone to take
charge of the boarding house on the
Pearl River Lumber Company works.
We wish them success. They are of the
best type and gilt edged"
Blythe way, our friend Carroll Max
we'll, of Fair River one of Lincoln
county's best business men, stopped
in a while at Edgar on his recent trip
through this section, but we never
heard of Carroll selling "air guns"
till we saw it in Bro. Sawdust's notes.
The gun shot % cartridge ball with
force enough to have powder behind it.
Carroll is too smart a fellow any how
not to know that the demand for ''air-
guns" is fully supplied in "Sawdust's"
range. BILLY.

All Lincoln County Hooker Men

Next Saturday.

Hon. Chas. Z. Hooker, the one arm
ed Confederate veteran, statesman
and patriot, has carried Madison, Co
piah and Franklin, the first to act in
the congressional contest. Kinds,
Col Hookers own county, will hold
its precinct meetings at 3 o'clock this
afternoon, and though the Henry men
are making desperate effort to snatch
her from her favorlte son, it is a for
lorn hope, and Kinds too, will be add
ed to the Hooker column before the
setting of today's sun. This will give
Col. Hooker 20 votes, or one more than
enough to insure his nomination in
the District Congressional Convention,
Aug. 14th.
1t is rumored, however, that even
with Kinds for the gallant Hooker, it
is the purpose of the Henry men, if
they can carry all the remaining coun-
ties, to get up contest over the Co.
piah vote, organize the District Con-
vention, and then seat the contesting
or Henry delegates from that county.
From the reputation of the wire-pull-
ing politicians and schemers who are
directing Henry's campaign, they will
adopt this or any other political trick
to carry their point and land their
man, if the least chance is allowed.
1t has already been publicly announc-
ed from that side that the Henry men
in Lincoln are thoroughly organized
This is notice sufficient to all friends
of Col Hooker to be likewise on the
alert and work together The mass
meeting to decide whether the vote of
Lincoln shall go to Hooker or Henry,
will be called together at the Court
House in Brookhaven next Saturday
at y o'clock. Let every Democratic
voter who is for Hooker be on hand
promptly to express his choice. If
the Hooker men will turn out, there
is not the slightest doubt of the result
This is Hooker county. The great
majority of the plain, honest people,
who, like Hooker himself, have no use
for political tricks, machine politics
and the like are for him, and they
should be here in force and make
their voice heard.
Another thing. 1t is reported on good
authority that there will be lot of
hired Henry strikers here from outside
counties, to instruct the people of Lin
coin how to vote. If they come, give
them the kind of reception their i'm
pertinence deserves. The voters of
Lincoln are not such fools that they
do not know who to vote for in this
contest. They can run their own pol
itics without any outside boss dicta-
ton, and let every machine striker who
comes here to give advice and pull for
Henry be given to understand this as
soon as he opens his mouth.

j. S. Hamilton, Jr., the second son of
Col. j. S. Hamilton, of Jackson, was
run over by switch engine at that
place yesterday morning and so badly
injured that he died in two hours after
the accident. He had been foreman of
the engine for about six months, but
at the time of his death was doing the
work of sick friend, as well as the
duties of his own position. He was
only q years of age and one of the
most popular of Jackson's young men.
Our sincere sympathies go out to the
grief-stricken relatives in their great
bereavement.
