Indebtedness around a circle by way
of San Francisco New Orleans and
Charleston it was quite possible that
some real funds tied UP somewhere
would be released and he would make
a bona tide payment. At present every
cent he had in the world was deposited
with his brokers as 4 margin on GER
tain stocks he had bought. The market
had gone down Il few points, but a
boom was confidently looked for, and
he was holding on with tight grip.
His only fear was that his brokers
would call for more margin.
Passing a china shop, he resolved to
look in, buy present for the lady,
Miss Gaudalet, give Il draft in pay
ment and chase it over the continent
till the expected boom had come and
he should have plenty of money. En-

scolding q luckless porter who was
sweeping up the fragments Of Il china

porter has just broken a five hundred

An idea seized upon Algernon.
"What will you take fer the frag-

"Will you send them?"
"Certainly."
Algernon wrote "Elise Gaudalet, II

the porter. do as the gentleman says.

will call and learn that nv gift has
been broken in transit. By that time
we shall have a better market and I
can get money from my broker with

But unfortunately the coal miners Of
the country took it into their heads to
strike, and the market instead Of going
higher went lower. \ week passed,

cITIzENs MEETING.

The duties of a citizen to his
country, state and county has never
been questioned by matchmaking
people, and the performance of the
duties devolving upon him is left
entirely to that person. The meet
ing of our citizens called for Mon
day, at IL O'Clock, by the Board of
Supervisors, for the purpose of as
certaining the sentiment of the peo-
pie of this county, in the matter of
erecting a new Court House, should
be attended by representatives from
every district in the county. This
is question in which all are d.
rectly interested. The Supervisors
are as a unit in favor of the cree
tion of a new Court House, but
they are representing the people,
and the voice of the people in this
matter will govern the action of
the Board.
The present Court House was
erected in the year 1888, hence it
has stood for nearly seventy years,
and, as everything else, the hand
of time is laid heavily upon it. The
walls are cracking, and the founda-
ton unsafe, besides being made
quate for the requirements of the
county. The necessity for a fire.
proof vault, in which to put the
valuable records, is too apparent
for further comment, as is also the
folly of placing such vault in the
present Court house. All of these
matters will come up for discussion
on Monday, so come and let your
self be heard. We are for new
and up-to-date Court house on the
present site.

A cotton factory in Tunica would
not only pay handsome dividend
on the money invested but it would
help more than anything else to
build up the town. Situated as we
are, right in the heart of the great
cotton producing section, a cotton
mill would be a money-maker from
its very inception. What say you,
gentlemen, lets have one.- Tunica
Democrat.
That a cotton factory Is money
maker" is very easy to convince
the people, but how to secure the
cash Jor the erection of the factory
has been our trouble. However we
hope the future will open the eyes
and pockets of our monied men and
a factory will be the result.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.


We have received a synopsis of
the primary election law which
has passed both Houses and Is
now before the Governor for his
approval or dissent, but it IS too
long to appear at this late date.
There is little left in the way of
details, and the act undertakes to
regulate the whole system even to
the most trifling particulars. Of
course there are some good
features in it, but as a whole we
predict that the first legislature
elected under It's multitudinous
provisions will be cIamorous for
its appeal.
We fail to see any particular
necessity for the State to take
charge of political parties any way.
Usually they can take care of
themselves, and do 1t quite as well
as the state can, and even better
for that matter. If the people
choose to sit still and allow few
politicians to select their officers
for them, primary elections will
not arouse them to do their duty,
and we fail to see how better re-
suits will be attained.
The Senate has passed the bill
for the purchase of Beauvoir from
Mrs. DAVIS. The price asked
$4,000, is reasonable enough, and
therefore the investment is not
bad from a business'point of view.
1t can be converted into a soldiers
home, which we believe will be of
doubtful utility, or into an or
phanage or some other benefcent
state charity, and thus be pre-
served as a fitting memorial of the
great Confederate chieftain. We
are not advised as to the contents
of this bill, but approve the re-
suit.
The legislature passed and the
Governor will sign a bill appro-
priatIng $4,000 for a State Ex-
hibit at the st. Louis Fair. The
bill creates the Office of Commits
sioner, with a salary of 1000.
Heretofore Mississippi has been
chary of appropriations for these
Exhibitions, and former legisla-
lures failed to see any great
amount of benefit to be derived
from these popular shows. Some
body is benefited to certainty,
else they would not be so fire.
quent. No doubt the army of
salared officials, and the keepers
or dlsbursers of the cash, as the
case may be, are pleased with the
results.
The idea prevails that If wo ex-
hibit specimens of our native
woods, visitors with idle money
will be surprised, and will run
down here and establish spoke
and tub factories? and so on to-
the end of the chapter, very much
to the benefit of Ye Native. An
other strong argument in favor of
such exhibits is that by displaying
our grain, and fruits, and tempt
ing products, we can coax people
from the chilly North to come and
buy our waste land at good prices,
and settle among US, and increase
our population, and make us all
rich. Just how is not explained.
No doubt this is all very well,
but whether the chance is worth
a $4,000 ticket is somewhat
doubtful. We confess we have
