PETITION FOR PARDON.
To his Excellency, Governor A. H. Lon
gino, Governor of the State of Missis-
sippi:

To his Excellehcy, Governor A. H. Lon
gino, Governor of the State of Missis-
sippi:
We, the undersigned citizens of Perry
county, Mississippi, and vicinity, re-
spectfuliy petition your excellency to
pardon Isham Boothe. convicted of
arson at the October, 1901, term of the
circuit court of the second judicial dis
trict OF the county of Perry, state of
mississippi, and sentences to term OF
FIVE years in the penitentiery, for the
causes set out below:
First. Because his conviction rests
almost entirely upon circumstantial
evidence of an indefinite, unreliable and
misleading character, uron which we do
not believe a conviction should be al.
lowed to stand;
Second. The principal state witness,
Will Lang, is wholly unreliable and
unworthy of belief, and but for his evil
dence, we do not believe conviction
would have been permitted to stand;
Third. We believe, as a matter of
fact, that the said defendant is innocent
of said charge and was enormously con-
vlcted, because Of testimony unworthy
of belief (not criticislng court ur jury)
and
Fourth. We believe, that although
the defendant were guilty, the ends of
justice have been met,-that he is re-
formed and will make a law-abidine
citizen from this time forward; and we
believe his record in the penitentiary
will confederate this view.

will be left in the woods dead. OF
course all this is the result OF the
careless handling of guns, for which
the parents are partly responsible.
Hundreds of cheap guns manufacture
ed outside the state are sold to our
boys who manage to get money
enough together to make the pur-
chase. The guns are not fit for ANY
thing except to kill other boys. There
is nothing else in the woods to be
killed, all the game having gone
west with the Indians or rather
ahead of them.

BRAXTON BURNED.

Yesterday the Progress contained
special stating that the main
part of Braxton was burned yes
terday morning. The Clarion
Ledger of yesterday gives the follow
ng additional report of the fire:
Fire broke out this morning at
o'clock in the restaurant of Mr.
Sandige, in short while almost the
entire business portion of the town
was in flames, the following build
ings being destroyed:
The Union hetel, damage $500;
insurance 1000.
A. J. Mckay, merchant, store and
stock, loss $1,000; insurance $1,000.
J. w. Guynes, store and stock, loss
81 800; no insurance.
j. r. r. Bush, store building $500;
insurance 5000.
d. n. Medley, store building, loss
$500; no insurance.
The fire was the most disastrous
that has ever visited this live little
city. The buildings were of frame
and comparatively new and burned
like finder. There was no means of
fighting the flames and they had the
fullest swing, burning until they had
exhausted themselves for the lack of
material.
The citizens turned out en- masse
and did all that was possible with
buckets and other vessels, but the
small volume of water that could be
thrown in that way had no visible
effect. A considerable amount OF
goods were saved but in a damaged
condition. 1t is stated that most OF
the sufferers will rebuild as soon as
possible.

The executive committee of the

Gently organized for the purpose of
building home for INDECENT and

announced itself in readiness to con-
slider offers of site donations, and it
is likely that there will be a sharp
competition between the leading
towns of the state to secure the
home. Fairly good progress is being
made with the work of collecting
funds.

1t now seems to be a conceded fact
that Bryan is doing all in bis power
in an underhand way to be renoni-
mated for president on the fusion
ticket. If he succeeds he will be de-
feated again and this time ruin the
party. But 1t is not believed such a
calamity viii come and men will
20 tn the convention purpOsely to see
that his name is not entertained for
a moment. Mr.. Bryan Is smart
man and thoroughly understands the
politics of the country, but very
