BACK TAX MATTERS.

Natchez. -Interest in the back tax
cases remains the all-absorbing topic
and was given fresh impetus when
the lawyers met to discuss the matter.
Judge Cooper, the legal representative
of tho revenue agent, met with the
lawyers. 1t leaked out that the
boards of aldermen and supervisors
will assess the solvent credits, etc ;,
at a three -fourths valuation or ON the
ssme basis as other assessments are
made the revenue agent will not APP
peal to tho courts. There is no cause
to doubt that the boards propose to
do this very thing as they as well as
tho taxpayers have no intention of
shirking the duties imposed by the
revenue law.

ANTHRAX IN THE DELTA.

Shelby. An epidemic of anthrax is
now raging in this county, which, If
not checked soon, will wipe out the
live stock and cost the planters mil
lions OF dollars The first cases wer @
reported from Rosedale about two
weeks ago. II has spread with great
rapidity and now looks as If the en-
tire county, and possibly the whole
delta, would have to contend with
the malignant contagion. J. H. Pres
ton reports that nearly all the horses
and mules of the Cox plantation have
anthrax, while along the river thou
sands are dying daily.

GOOD CROPS PROMISED.

Shelby. "A few weeks of sunshine
and showers have brought about great
changes in delta cotton prospects.
The closing days of May found the
crops In very bad condition, but the
warm weather, accompanied by good
showers, has worked favorable to til g
plant and the indications ere that
this section will make q full crop.
The crop Is later than last year, but
has not suffered frem wet weather or
lack Of work as it did in May and
Juno Of 1900.
The early corn needs rain, and ad-
vices from many points in the delta
say the same conditions prevail.

HEBREW PEDDLER COMES
TO GRIEF IN'LEICESTER


Leicester Dec IA Hebrew peddler
came to grief in Cherry Valley this after
While visiting customers on what is
known as Stump Hill in the village, three
suits of boys clothing were stolen from
his wagon. There is no clue as to who
the thief was, but it is thought the per-
son who took the clothing is not a resi-
dent of the hill.
Tonight the peddler came to the home
of Officer John Chenery on Main Street
Cherry Valley, and related his tale of
woe. He told the story with much Cere-
mony and ended up his long narrative by
telling the officer he was in the house of
one of his patrons and left the door of
his cart unlocked. When he came out and
examined his stock he found three suits
of boys clothing missing. He says he at
once locked the doors of his wagon and
hurried to the home of the officer
lie wanted officer Chenery to leave his
hot supper and start out at once on the
trail of the thieves. When informed that
nothing would be done in the matter by
the Leicester officers until the morrow
he appeared much vexed, and chanted a
few phrases that were not very cOmpli-
mentary to the Leicester police force. The
Hebrew is a regular visitor to town but
tonight he declared that hereafter he
would give it a wide b5rth.
He gave his name to the officer but it
would take a Hebrew scholar to pro-
nounce or read il. After being assured the
affair would be investigated he continued
on his way to Worcester.

fensive examination and the obnoxious
local treatment which they know SO
many local physicians deem necessary
and insist upon. As consequence the
attending doctor obtains only a super
fetal knowledge of the ailments he at
tempts to cure, and often treats for the
wrong disease. The result is that women
suffer for long years in silence and allow
disease to gain a firm hold upon them,
until they are shattered in health and
worn and weak in body.
