FROM EDGAR,

A very stout young negro man, Dave
Newell, was killed on the Keystone
Lumber Company's log works last
week by accident.
District Attorney Graves paid our
Justice and constable compliment for
their efficient work in Beat No. 3,
since the sitting of the grand jury.
Other farm work is materially sus-
pended and molasses making is
the order of the day. The cane crop
averaged good and the turnout is fine.
Marcus Rawls, noble young man in
the employ of the Pearl River Lumber
Company, who died of fever, was
buried at the old Rawls family grave
yard last week.
Our venerable old friend Aaron OFT
is lying very low with sickness and in
firmaties by reason of age; also old
Uncle Jim Wooley is having quite a
struggle with fever and ague.
Our public school opened last week
with very large attendance, every
thing considered. We expect fine ses-
sion of the school (Topisaw) with our
energetic young friend, Claud Bennett,
teacher.
Our District, No. B. is we'll repre-
scented in the grand jury room in the
persons of w. G. Price, Jake Richey
and Sam Cole, and the county will get
a sample of Mr.. w. G. Prices excellent
business tact while he is foreman of
the grand jury.
A rousing bit of fun in stealing a
girl for marriage who turned out to be
a boy in woman's clothes was INDUCED
near Union recently, which seems to
be fun for the boys but death on the
frog; and several witnesses are sulking
around the grand jury now. BILLY.

Fine Registered Cattle.

DR.. Geo. A. Love and Mr.. Kerl re-
fine young registered Hereford bulls
and one heifer. The strong point
with the Herefords is their large size,
quick growth and peculiar adaptability
as beef cattle. Though none of the
specimens referred to above are yet a
year old, judged by their fiue size, all
would easily pass for twice their actual
age.
Any of our readers interested in fine
cattle, should call at Dr. Loves stable,
near the Courthouse, and see his
Herefords and some other specimens
of blooded stock.
