HELD UP AND BOBBED.
Bold Act Of a Robber at McLaurin
Last Night-Ravisees Victim.

One of the boldest robberrles that
has occurred in this county for long
time was perpetrated at McLaur1n
in this county last-night about 10
o'clock.
About that hour man went to
Mr.. Ravisees' house which Is near
his place of business and asked him
to go to the store as Ire wanted to
make some purchases. Whether he
was black or white man the tele-
phone message did not state, but it
is presumed that he was a white
man.
Mr.. Ravisees complied with the
request and going to the store he un-
locked the door and admitted the
stranger. When both were well in
the building and the light had been
turned on the man presented his
pistol to the breast of Mr.. Ravisees
and told him to open the safe which
was near them. The store keeper
had no weapon convenient and al
he could do was to comply to the re.
lquest and soon he was fumblinG
nervousiy at the knob of the safe. The
doors of the safe were swung oper
when the money, $40, was handed
out to the robber who, backing on
at the door, escaped in the darkness
This morning telephone message
was sent Sheriff Batson of this city
who left on the $40 train for Nc
Laurin to make an investigation o
the matter, and he will use every
effort possible to capture the robber
1t is reported at this writing tina
there were two of the robbers ant
that they were colored, but it is NOR
likely that there was only one, per

The Yazoo Sentinel well and truly
says that 1.-The best way to build up a
town is to staud by every man in the
place who is trying to do right and
shows a tendency to promote the bust
ness interests of the town. Whenever
man is doing well do not try to tear
him down ii his business is respectable
and legal. All residents should be
partners for the best interest of the
community and not opponents. Every
business man, who treats his customers
honestly, cautiously and fairly, will
get his share, and the more business
that can be secured by united effort, tie
better it will be for all, When town
ceases to grow, it begins to die, and the
more people try to kill each other in
business. the more rapidly will utter
ruin come to all. Stand together for
the advancement of every deserving
citizen. If a man shows ability to
prosper, do not pull him back through
! jealousy, or weight him down through
cloud of indifference

An Impartial Judge.

Back in the SOS when the Farmers
Alliance was strong enough as politi
cal party to elect its own officials, l
witnessed comical decision made by a
farmer, who was taken from the back of
plow handle and elected judge of the
county court. The first case he tried
was that of young horse thief. After
the county rested its case, which was
clear and strong against the prisoner,
the defense opened with a motion to
quash the indictment and discharge the
prisoner, supporting it with a neat lit
tie speech and closing with the following
remarks; "Knowing your honor to be
an honest, upright, fearless and impair
tial official, now beg you to second my
motion. quash the indictment and dis
charge the prisoner" well" said his
honor, rising slowly, II second the mo-
ton, and turning to the defendants wit
nesses he said; Gentleman, there's a
motion made and seconded that | quash
the indictment and discharge the pris
oner. All Of those in favor of it will
signify by saying aye" Whereas the
defendants witnesses shouted. Con
trary, if any, said his honor, twill
signify by saying no." mol" yelled
the county attorney. 'Sit down" said
his honor, waving both arns in the air
