Suit for DAMAGES,

Saturday afternoon suit for
damages was filed by the Kentucky
Refining Company against the Wax
ahachie Cotton Oil Company. The
plaintiffs allege in their petition
that on or about the 23rd of March,
1901, they bought eight tanks of
prime crude cotton seed oil from the
defendants, paying therefor % cents
per gallon. That when the oil was
received and examined it proved TO
be of an inferior grade to what was
bought and worth about2 cents per
gallon less than the prime crude
oil. The suit is brought to recover
the difference In price, amounting
to something over 5000.

THE MAYORS COURT.

Anna Liza. Banks and
'tPeachie" Ferro, the latter of
whom is a notorious member of
the colored undercrust, engaged
in row in south Columbus last
Sunday afternoon, in which
"Peachie" was badly cut up with
a razor and the Banks woman
severely bruised and beaten with
an axe, which her assailant used
in a manner which would do
credit to western frontiersman.
The two women had a trial Mon
day afternoon, in which it was
developed that Peachie was the ag-
gressor in the affair, and she was
accordingly fined ten dollars,
while her antagonist was turned
loose.
This is not the only trouble
that Peachie has been in recent
~. One night last week she be-
came engaged in a row with one
of her admirers, negro named
VIM. Swanson, and completely
lacerated his face with a razor.
Such characters as these are
menace to the peace and good
order of any community, and the
authorities would make a wise
move, and one which would meet
with the approval of all good
citizens, in ordering her to leave
town.

FACTS ABOUT THE FAIR.

Only five more days remain
before the great fall fair and
races begin, and the prospects
are that the largest number of
visitors ever seen in Columbus
will be present. The event has
been extensively advertised, and
to back up the claim made by the
directors that it would be great
est exhibition Of its kind ever wit
messed in East Mississippi the
strongest attractions that could
be found anywhere have been
secured. On occasions of this sort
one Of the most important features
to be looked after is the music,
for a fair without a good band
which can play lively, soul in
spring music is like a perform
ance Of an opera company when
the singers all have bad colds.
The directors decided that they
would have this year the best
band that money could secure,
and after receiving offers from
different musical organizations
in all parts of the south, they
finally selected VOLTS Cornet
band, Of New Orleans. This
band will arrive Monday and
will remain throughout the prog
ress Of the fair, descoursing
sweet music every day.
The races promise to be un-
usually interesting and excit-
ing 4 About twenty horses have
already been entered, and the
indications are that there will be
more than double that number
before the fair finally opens.
Workmen are busy at the
grounds getting things in shape,
and all will be in rediness when
the fair opens next Tuesday.

At the meeting of the City
council Tuesday night a petition
signed by large number Of citi-
zens was presented, asking the
council not to use the money Sc
cured from the sale Of bonds in
the purchase of furniture and
fixtures for n postoffice, but that
it be used to erect stand pipe in
accordance with the understand
ing when the bonds were voted.
Tt is estimated by those opposed
to having the postoffice in the
city hall, that not less than 50,
800 will be required to fit up the
office with furniture, a vault, etc.,
and it is claimed that it is unjust
to the tax payers of the city to
use this money for that purpose
when it is SO badly needed in
other places for which it was vo-
ted. 1t is further claimed that,
as matter of revenue, the in
vestment is a very poor one,
since it will cost, out of the rent,
5000 to $3.50 per year for lighting,
heating, &C., leaving only small
sum toward paying interest on
the Investment.
On the other hand, the coun-
cilmen favoring the location say
that the expense of making the
room ready for occupancy as re-
quired by the government, will
cost only about 81, 100, which
amount will not be paid out Of
funds received from the sale of
bonds, but from the revenues de-
rived from water rents, taxes,
etc., and that none of the objects
for which bonds were issued will
suffer on account Of the postoffice
being put there. These council
men further claim that the loca-
ton is by far the most conven-
lent for a great majority of the
patrons of the office, and that
the petition presented contains
only about one- fourth Of the
qualified voters of the city, many
of whom are Indifferent as to the
location; that while the bid of
the city was pending before the
postoffice department no objec-
ton was raised and they can not
now afford to 60 back on their
proposition which they made.
In view of this fact it is not likely
that any action will be taken by
the council, except to receive the
petition, and that an injunction
will be asked for by those oppos-
ing the location.
The editor of the Commercial,
personally, was not in favor of
the city hall and thinks it was a
bad piece of business to put the
postoffice there, but it seems that
if objections were going to be
raised they should have been
presented before the government
the bid, or when it was
first known that the proposition
would be made by the city. The
fight, however, is not 'sourn" and |
we are out of it.
