Terrell County Dirt Continues to
Sell at Big Price.

Mr.. Z. L. Anderson has sold his
farm about Eve miles north of Dawson
to Mr.. j. w. Hortman, the price paid
being s22. so per acre.
This is but one of the many instances
of Terrell county lands selling for ex-
tremely good prices, this sum being
about the average price which farm
lands have brought the past several
years in Terrell. Without doubt Ter
rell is in the lead of all other counties
in the state in point of fine farming
lands.

INSPECTING MAIL ROUTES.
Mr.. Brannon Makes Suggestions
as to Roads and Mail Boxes.

Mr.. w. B. Brannon, inspector of ru-
raj free delivery routes, has been look
ing after the routes in Terrell county
for several days past. He thinks them
generally in satisfactory condition.
but some of the roads over which the
mails go are in bad condition. One
OF the provisos when the gov
eminent puts rural route in opera
ton is that the roads it traverses must
be kept in good condition. and it
might not be bad idea for those who
benefit by these routes to watch the
roads.
Mr.. Brannon also says that some
persons along the routes are very care
less concerning the mail boxes. The
postoffice department hasoapproved
fourteen different kinds of boxes now in
use, and positively STIMULATES thatone
of these fourteen must be used. Post
master Alexander will furnish all
needed information concerning these
boxes.
From luxury the rural free deliv-
cry has become almost necessity to
the residents of Terrell county, and is
one of the many things which have
made Congressman Griggs popular
with his constituency.

A Story of King Victor,

King Victor Emmanuel is an early riser and very active. One morning at eight he arrived unexpectedly at the office of administration of the royal household, which is situated opposite the palace. He only found the serv- ant sweeping and dusting. The king took out cigarette and walked up and down, waiting. At 9:3O the first clerk arrived. The king asked at what hour the employees were expected to be at the office. At eight o'clock, majesty" replied the embarrassed off, fciaI. And it is now 9:3O," remarked the king, taking up his hat, and leav- ing the premises. Since then the whole of the persons employed at the office have made their appearance punctually at eight q. 1n., thanks to the personal vigilance of the kingdom don News.

 The game of basketball at the B. A. C. rooms last evening between the hnockabouts and a team from the Boys club was too one-sided to be interesting. The Boys club agsrega- ton was minus most of it's regular players and played a wretched, miser- able game. The Knockabouts simply toyed with them, scoring whenever they wished. The only reueeming fea- ture of the dull and uninteresting con- test was the fast, snappy work of the hnockabcutS, who won by a score of 3S-6. The winners expect to add an- other victory to their credit when they race Reid X Hughes quintet at the

Why 1901 Seems Familiar to Him

Ut may sound odd to you,' said a bookkeeper. but the date 1901 seems already more familiar to me than 1900 ever did. You see we don't get a cipher at the end of year date but once in ten years, ana we get two ciphers there only once in hundred years Practically no man ever sees more than once in his lifetime a year with two ciphers in it; and, as mat ter of fact, it never gets to be fa- miliar to him; and so 1900 seemed just about as strange at the end of the year as it did at the beginnings; whereas year running out with fig ures, to which we are accustomed, does seem familiar. Actually, 1901 seems like an old friend, and I'm glad to see it."-N. Y. Sun.

NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN.
Sheriff Told His Deputies Not to For

Terre Haute, Ind March 1.-The au- thorities of Nigo county are now learn- ing where they come in on the action of the mob that hanged and burned George Ward. The cuunry council has appropriated S1O,GOO for repairing the damage done to the jail by them.
 A move has been started to raise a fund for the widowed mother of Miss Ida EinckelSten. The mother was daughter for her financial support.
 Sheriff Fasig has been holding some- thing like public reception, stream of people calling to commend him for telling his deputies not to forcibly Op- pose the mob. It is evident that pub- lie sentiment is not fully aroused to the horrors of the Iynching and b,irn- ing of George Ward and the demon- stration at the Sheriff's office yesterday for the lynching
 The lynching of George Ward has created wild cOnSternation among the negroes in this section of the state. As the excitement decreases among the White people it increases aruong the ne- groeS. They are loud in their condem- nation of the Terrc Hautc mob. Many negroes have fled from Terre Haute, fearing mob may take them in hand Nearly all who have left this city have gone to Brazil. There is a large ne gro population there. and the refugees have been given shelter there.

MORE CANDIDATES.
Their Friends Wondered When Their Names Were Not on List.

Names Were Not on List.
 In the article published in yester- days Democrat regarding prospective candidates for the office of mayor two names were inadvertently omitted, Dr John F. Hayes and John J. McDonald, both of whom have hosts of friends in all sections of the town, and while the gentlemen appear to be saying nothing about politics, it is said that their men are at work in their interest and will be heard from at the proper time. Some of our republican friends have been heard from in reference to what was said about probable candidates for the office of mayor on their side of the house. They thought it was all right except the statement that there is bad feeling between Harry Durant and John r. Kellogg. Who Gaid there was? That's how things get twisted. There was a strong hint ill the article referred to that Mir Durant and the Kellogg faction were not on the best of terms. This might be true even though the two men wee the best friends in the world. It is no guess work to state that there are men as- sociated with John P. Kellogg whom the prosecutor would like to See in the penitentiary, but this does not Ilouu luat He ueSlIeS lO see oIOlltI Kellogg under lock and key. The re- publicans are very much concerned over the fate of consolidation. They want to see it pass. but most of them are afraid to say so. At present no one is willing to father it. Not long ago some one accused w. l.. Hall of being responsible for it. but he indig- nantly denied the imputation then and there and later published q card to that effect The republicans are look ing at the question in this way: If ii passes there will be so much diSsatis faction on the outside we'll be buried next fall. If it should be defeated the people will say they need not thank us for their deliverance and they'll pile onto us all the same. so that the politicians don't know which way tC turn. The man who kept his mind tC himself on consolidation made no mis take that is provided he wants a DO 1 litical office.

In the southern Caucasus large tracts of land are covered by the licorice plant. A Scotch gentleman who visited this country from Con- stantinople had his attention drawn to this potential source of wealth, and erected factory on the spot for the distillation of the icorice juice. The erection of similar fact ories quickly followed, so that now large export trade is carried on in this product, and the peasantry of the dis trict find a remunerative occupation in the gathering and sale of the root to these establishments. - Chambers TOnrnal

LOWER PRICES AT JACQUES.
A Reduced Scale For the Rest of the
 Season.

Season.
 Announcement is made that by ar rangement between Manager Jean Jacques and the theatrical syndicate, which controls the bookings at Jacques opera house, d reduced. scale of prices will go into effect there for the remainder of the season. The matinee prices will continue the same 10 and 20 cents-but the price of sofas will be raised to 30 cents, while in the evening prices will be 10, 20 and 30 cents and 5O cents for sofas. Pres ent prices, which have prevailed the past three seasons, the 15, 25, 35 and 50 cents, all but the three last rows in the parQuet being 90 cents. It will be seen, therefore, that very sub stantial reduction has been made.
 The reason of the change is trace able to the great disparity that has been noticea ble this season in the re- ceipts from the matinee and evening performances. It was found that the matinees were very large, while the attendance in the evening showed a great falling off, making it almost i'm possible for the visiting companies to play a profitable engagement here. Should the expected results ensue from the reduced scale, which VIII be kept in operation for the remainder of this season, it will be continued next season and indefinitely. The scale goes into effect on Monday, and with two such extraordinary attractions as ''Chattanooga'' and At Piney Ridge to begin with the effects ought to be noticeable at once.

NO STATE OWNS IT,
A Strip of Land Between Michigan

Madison, Wis. March Tt has just been discovered a strip of land of 2oO,O0O acres near the boundary be- tween Wisconsin and Michigan lies in neither state. In it is the city of Iron wood, Mich the remainer being be- tween the Brule and Paint rivers. F.. D. Peake. an employe in the Wiscon- sin state senate. made the discovery that this strip was originally included in Michigan. but was not in the survey when the state of Wisconsin was laid out. The question has arisen as to whether or not official acts. such as marriages and land transfers. in the strip are valid and the ma tier will probably be laid before the Wisconsin legislature.
