SENSATION IN TALLAHATCHlE.
Serious Charges Brought Against the
Supervisors.

Charleston, Miss, Jnly 2S.-A very
breezy sensation has been created in
Tallahatchie county by the report Of
the grand jury in which charges Of
grave nature are made against the
board of supervisors of the county.
The grand jury charges that, while
it was impossible to obtain absolute
evidence, there is good reason to be-
lieve that a portion Of the bridge fund
set aside for the construction Of
bridge across Tallahatchie river was
embezzled: that the contract for the
new court house was let at an eXtray-
agant price, and the board permitted
the contractors to take the plans and
specifications beyond the reach Of the
grand jury for examination, in fragrant
violation Of section $40 Of the code;
that numerous contracts for other
work have been awarded without adj
vertising for bids: that an abstract
was purchased for 81, 800 without adj
vertisement; that a county health Otii-
Ger was employed at a salary Of $500
per annum when the work had been
previously done at s6j per annum,
To cap the climax of its sensation
the grand jury indicted j. \. Morgan,
a member of the board Of supervisors.
on the charge of keeping blind tiger.
Deep resentment has been aroused
against the board in the county on
account Of the exposure. and it is
understood that public demand will
be made for the resignation Of each
member.

4 Bad Practice.

1t is to be regretted that so many
men are connected with the press who
feel called upon to use, when speaking
of prominent public men, harsh and
mdigniiled language. Just like
school boys, they express their con-
tempt for these public characters by
calling them names and nicknames.
This is a clear Indication that charges
cannot be maintained or sustained;
food for argument is wanting, or that
the newspaper is being used as a ye-
hicle for venting ire, that would
otherwise remained bottled up. Re-
spectacle people and gentlemen may
indulge in such methods, but ordinari-
ly it is a clear indication of i'll breed
ing and lack of genuine gentility.
Neither is it accepted by the public as
proper ground of opposition and makes
the indulger in such methods more OF
less contemplate in the public esti-
nation. The more courteous and
considerate man can be, even in
speaking of his enemy, or the man he
affects to despise, the more influence
he will have with his listener or read
er.-West Point Leader.

SHOT DEAD IN THE ROAD.
An Ugly Killing in TaIIahatchie County
Tuesday Morning.

Just over the line in Tallahatchie
county, about Is miles from Grenada,
on Tuesday morning Attic Allison,
a white farmer residing between Rose
bloom and Scotland, was shot and
killed by John Little. and perhaps
Others, as circumstances point that
way. From the latest and best in
formation at hand, being furnished
by some Grenada parties who were at
the scene of the killing on Wednesday,
it appears that the tragedy was un
provoked and cold-blooded.
Allison left home with the inten-
tion of going to the home of a neigh
Dor to swap a gun for COW. He first
started with the gun, but turned and
left it at his home. He had to pass
the home of John Little, and as he
passed there he was killed as above
stated. Three shots were fired, being
heard by several neighbors. The
first reports reaching town were that
Allison had gun and that it must
have been a duel, but it seems this
was wrong. Two of the shots entered
Alison's head from opposite direc-
tions, while the third, which came
from q pistol, entered the face just
below the eye. The dead body of
Allison was found in the road and
from the examination of the wounds
there was no doubt about the shots
being fired by more than one person.
On Little's farm at the time Of the
tragedy was a brother of his and
another white man. When Allison
left home he had about $40 in cash,
but his wife looked in his pockets and
only $3.50 remained when the body
reached home.
As soon as the tragedy was over
Little left for Charleston and employ
ed lawyers to defend him, then went
to Cascilla and gave himself up to the
officers. The hearing was set fol
yesterday.
For some time there has been hos
tility between the men and the recent
term of court at Charleston furnished
material for tanning the flame. Lit
tie testified before the grand jury that
Allison ran a blind tiger and the result
was that the latter was indicted anC
fined $3.50. He swore vengeance, sc
it is reported, and it is thought this
caused the killing.
BotL men have friends in the com
munity and it is feared the trouble
will not end before more blood is shed
1t is very unfortunate. Allison anC
Little are well known in Grenada.

VETERANS RETURN THANKS TO DIX.
IE CHAPTER, U. D. c.

On June 3rd the local chapter of the
Daughters of Confederacy presented
to number of veterans a Gross of
Honor" The badges were made from
brass cannons used in the Civil War
and are worn by the pOSSeSsors with
considerable pride. In token of their
appreciation the following letter has
been written by Mr.. j. S. King ad-
jutant of w. II. Barksdale Camp, to
Mrs. P. S. Dudley, president of Dixie
Chapter:
Dear Madam:
| have been directed by the W. r.

erons to return thanks to you and
your noble organization in the name
of the Camp and the individual men,
bers thereof, each and everyone, for
the handsome Gross of Honor" pre-
sented us by you and your association
/ assure you that we appreciate this
kindly remembrance more than this
of gratitude to you and your associates
is only equalled by our deep reverence
for the Lost Cause"
This Gross" brings to mind, God
indeed has decided" but even ON
impotence cannot wrest from us our
glory of the past, our appreciation for,
appreciation of, and abiding faith in
| our noble women.
In just little while the broken
remnant will have passed away; then
it is indeed meet that we should share
our1appreciation of this little token
which takes us back to those stirring
times when all things were possible
and all untried.
Again assuring you of our high ap-
probation of this kind thoughtfulness
on the part of you and your associates,
| am, with assurances of my high re-
gard, Yours Most Respectfully,
J. S. KING, Adjutant.

Worth Remembering.

\ fraternal exchange contains the
following very pretty sentiments;
People kiss their dead, who never
stop to kiss their living: they hover
over open CaSketS with hySterical
sobs. but fail to throw the wealth
of affection about those loved ones
who are fighting the stern battles
in life. How unheedingly We permit
the opportunities for carrying sun
shine into the lives Of those we
love to pass. 4 word of cheer to a
struggling soul is worth more than
all the roses of christendom piled
high on casket covers. The dead can
not smell the fragrance of the flowers,
but the living can: scatter them broad
cast in their pathway therefore, and
pluck out the thorns. \ welcome
smile, a cherry well done an atIec-
tionate look, will cause a rift to break
in the lowering clouds and permit
the glorious sunshine to gladden. the
lives of those you love.

Sensible Talk.

Newton Record; Agree ing with
number OF other papers in the objec-
tion to long camgaign and the en-
tering into the field so early by Office
seekers, the thought is evoked that
the newspapers often have good
deal to do with the premature an
nouncement OF the candidates. The
name Of first one person and then
another is brought before the people
away yonder before a Seasonable time
and the suggested candidates will be
discussed and "cussed" as to their
fitness and "miS-itn until they are
either forced to announce or decline,
when perhaps they do not wish to do
either until the right time. Then
again, the fact that Il newspaper men
tiOns the name Of some men in con-
nection with an office, though they
may not all be suited for the place,
creates an idea with them that
perhaps they are the proper ones for
said offices, and they Immediately
grid on their armors and sail into the
field of battle, with the motto of the
early bird, ETC." 1t is all well enough
for the papers to discuss these mat
ters at any appropriate time, but fol
a lack of something else to say a
number of them feel called upon to
launch a ship Of candidates long
before the political aspirnats even
think of it.

From the Strong Kin
deIberger Team
BY THE HOME TEAM
"
A Game That Started off Even and
was Exciting
UNTIL THE FIFTH INNING.
UNTIL THE FIFTH INNING.
The Visitors We're OutcIassed in
Each Game.

The last game of the series with
the Kindleberger aggregation vas
played yesterday afternoon In the
presence of the largest audience of
the week. It promised to be an exs
cellent game and was until the fifth
inning. Up to that time the score
stood one to one, and the playing
was fast and clean on both sides.
The hits were few and scattered and
the honors were about even. In
the fifth, however, the home team
found the ball, and before the last
man had retired five runs had been
added to their score and the game
won. N this inning quite an
amount of kicking was INDUCED In
by the visitors over decision by
Hart of ball along the right field
foul line. Morgan made a mighty
effort to capture the short fly, but
could not reach 1t. Hart called
1t fair ball, and was deluged
with tempest Of the most
vociferous kicks ever witnessed on
the home grounds. But kicking
has no more effect on "Toby" than
Cevera's guns on Schley's fleet, and
he calmly called for a watch to see
when to call the game on a forfeit.
There Is quite difference of opin-
ion as to the decision. Whether
right or wrong, The Review wants
TO say two things about 1t. The
first IS that Hart believed he was
right and the second Is that 1t made
no difference On the final result.
The game was three to one In favor
OF the home team when the decision
was made, and would have remained
so or worse for the visitors until
the end.
The Kindelbergers are a fine lot
OF fellows as well as good ball
players. The can beat a lot of
clubs, and did they play every day
would soon develop into fast team.
They made friends here by their
gentlemanly department., and will
always receive a warm welcome.
The score follows:
