can YOU offer some remedy by which
can relieve Il? Is the disease durable?
What causes it? She is very free. and a
good animal.
Answer: Sweeney is a wasting away
OF the muscles OF the shoulder. and is
thought TO be caused by some disease in
the foot or leg. Examine the leg and foot
OF your horse and see II you can find out
the origin OF the trouble. Apply to the
shoulder soft soap with a little salt added
four or FIVE times a week and rub the
affected part well. This simple remedy
Will give relief and may effect cure
There is perhaps more merit In the rub
blng than anything else, unless you can
trace and cure the foundation OF the
trouble in the leg or foot.

Answer-It always pays to get the best

any crop. Kings early improved variety OF
cotton seed. II planted the latter part of
next month ought to easily mature before

not desirable to place fertilizers for cotton
too deep in the soil. The fertilizers should
be well mixed with the soil in the furrow

not be over an inch below the seed bed.
With only 900 pounds per acre do not
think you viii get any better results from
dividing the amount into two separate ap-
plications. than from putting in the whole

Ex-chief of the fire department

Ex-chief of the fire department
of Vicksburg, Henry Marks, is
suing the insurance companies for
$500. 600 damages, on the decla-
ration "that he has been humil-
lated and outraged; has suffered
the loss of public esteem; that his
reputation and character have been
impaired" etc. The suit is based
upon the action of the insurance
companies in coercing the city of
vicksburg to discharge Mr.. Marks
from his Office. Having succeeded
in turning out the chief of the FIRE
department and capturing the Hill
City. those same insurance CON-
panies made break at the State
of Mississippi with q demand for
the repeal Of the insurance law.
but it proved rather too large a
job to be accomplished on the
first charge. They will doubtless
be in evidence at the next session.

Victory on Two Votes.

SULLIGENT, Sept. 1S.-The most
exciting race Lamar county has
ever experienced has just been
officially decided. The race was
between j. G. Miner and j. ID.
McClusky for the nomination for
representative in the next legisla-
tur1 Last Monday WAS the sec
ond primary election in which
these candidates have figured.
The first was when the nomination
for governor was settled. In that
election there were three candi-
dates. Miner and McClusky re-
ceived the highest number of votes,
but neither received enough to Sc
cure the nomination, and another
election was had. Monday. Tues
day it appeared that Miner was
elected by 5 majority; yesterday it
was figured down to tie; today
the executive committee has de-
cided that McClusky is the nomi-
nee by a majority of two votes. 1t
is rumored that Miner will con-
test the election. Both gentle
men are prominet lawyers.

The Republicans in various wsys
are endeavoring to explain the un-
expected withdrawal Of Speaker
Henderson from the congressional
race in the third Iowa district.
They may waste any amount OF
language that suits them on the
subject. but there are just two
propositions at the bottom Of it,
and that is all. The first is that
the people of the Northwest are
determined to have a revision OF
the tariff and relief from the trusts
the second is the fact that ex-Gov-
ernor Boies, one of the most pop
ular men in the State. is the Dem
ocratic candidate and Mr.. Render-
son saw inevitable defeat staring
him him in the face. But il was
ignominious retreat under fire and
has staggered and demoralized the
party from Maine to California.
He should have been ready to die
by the sword that he had lived by.

Big Damage Suit.

VICKsBURG, Miss, Sept. 10
The suit against the insurance
companies, forecasted week ago,
to be entered by ex-Fire Chief
Henry Marks, is now a certainty,
and Mr.. Marks attorney will file a
bill for the sum of 100000 in the
Circuit Court of Warren county.
The bill is long complicated doc
ument, substantially demanding
damages from the insurance COM
panies that refused to write risks
in this city until the board of
mayor and aldermen voted Mr..
Marks out as chief of the fire de-
partment for alleged incompe-
tency, or demanded his resigna-
ton. Mr.. Marks resigned when
pressure was brought to bear and
the suit is the outcome.

and trust, as grand jurors of our
county, discloses a healthy moral
condition pervading our county,
and that our people are law-abid-
ing and law-loving, and that within
the borders of Monroe county is
as little violation of law according
to population as amongst any peO-
pie in any land.
1t is gratifying to be able to re-
port a healthy moral condition of
affairs in the county, because it is
an evidence of happy and pros
porous people, and because we
recognize that the suppression of
crime is an expensive and unwhole-
some thing, both in money and
good morals amongst the people.
In conclusion, allow us to re-
turn our very sincere thanks to
your Honor for your able charge.
which has been invaluable to US

To the Sheriff and Circuit and

unqualified thanks for their efforts

respectfully ask to be discharged.

There Is no longer any doubt as to the
