The lamented Col J. l.. Power will

for the fee bill gotten up by him and

A little slang, like a little nonsense

like too much salt or pepper, nauseates

ly those of Flora, remember with
everlasting gratitude with what
heroism and undertaking devo-
ton to duty, DR.. Crisler, in the
face Of death, stood by them in
the terrible yellow fever epidemic
of 1898
Yes, the courage and fortitude
displayed by him in those dark
days has stamped ] him a hero of
typical type.
The death of Hon. w. j. Par
kinson, which sad event occurred
on the night Of January 9TH, cast
u gloom over this entire com
munity. Mr.. Parkinson was a
man of the manor born. true,
brave and chivalrous, and his
place will be hard to fill. He
was a great southerner at heart,
although a northern man. Had
he lived our country would have
felt the weight of his influence.
God saw lit to take him; farewell,
kind and GENIAL friend.
Flora is the coming town
of Central Mississippi. Give

protect the city from lawless
classes and the population will
soon swell to i've thousand.

saved from total destruction.
The primary elections of 1903
are nearing. Let us hope that
old Madison will shake off the
yoke OF oppression and be no
longer dictated toby men who
have not her interest at heart,
who would absolutely sacrifice
the ambition of any good and
competent man who aspires for
political honor, and establish
themselves in corruption and
dishonesty. In 1896, at the bat
