THE MAYORS COURT.

The mayor had a pretty good court
this morning. There was very in
teresting game Of craps going on last
night down about Nevman's mill
and Policeman Dossett hearing Of it
went down to investigate. He found
where the national game was being
played when he took a hand. He
rounded up seven Of the players who
appeared before his honor this morn
ing and asked to pay fine of $3Ee
each and the Ice beer nsney if such
beverage could be found in the
city.
Then another gentleman Of leisure
was caught up for vagrancy and
asked to contribute to the city $
treasury to the amount of five dol
lars and the lemonade money.
One fellow who had nothing else
under the sun at which to employ his
mind concluded to do some
thing Just to keep his hand in. But
he was pulled, thing that he was
not expecting, and asked to work on
the streets ten days and to contrib
ute to the treasury ten dollars. 1T IS
powerfully hot weather to work on
the streets or anywere else, but he
who steals while resident Of Hat
tIesburg may expect to work on the
streets even if the thermometer reg
listers 100 in the ice box.

Liberals Versus Conservatives.

Editor SETTLER of the Hattiesburg
Progress, was in Vicksburg yesterday.
He reported no change in the cow
situation, save that the bovines are now
provided with bells which they carry
around their necks. The other night
there were one hundred and nineteen
cows around the home of ore of Hatties-
burg's citizens, ana careful count
showed that over a hundred Of the All
mails carried tinklers. The cow ques
ton has divided the town into two fac
tions-the Conservatives and the Liber-
ais. The Conservatives think the cows
have no right in the city. They vote
that way, and they use their influence
| to debar the milehers from the thorough
/ fares. The Liberals take broader view
| of the matter. They claim that Hatties-
! burg is big place. and that in certain
parts the COWS should be at liberty to
roam at will. The Liberals believe that
the animals are all right in their place,
! bat that the bushes section of the city
is no place for them. They oppose ali
stringent measures. A recent election
was ordered in Hattiesburg. All citi
zens were asked to tell on his ballot
whether he favored the COW on the
street or was opposed to it. The Liber
ais were willing to compromise, and this
being denied them they d. feated the
Conservatives. The result is that the
cows row roam the streets at their sweet
will and they may not be molestsd
The jingling of their bells signifies thai
they have the. right of way. Editor
SETTLER has 10 personal interest in the
question. He owns no COW, ard the only
thing he ever had that resembled Gov
was calf. That was some years ago
1t was an obstreperous animal, and haC

DENIES THE SOFT IMPEACHMENT.
The Odd Fellows had Nothing to
DO with the Mob Meeting.

The Odd Fellows last night adopt
ed following resolutions:
Whereas, on the 18th day Of June,
1892, odd Fellows hall was used by q
mob, as is reported, as q place of
rendezvous for the purpose Of devils
ing ways and means of violating the
laws of the country; and,
Whereas, this liberty was taken
with this hall without the knowledge
or consent of this lodge; and,
Whereas. the use to which the
hall was put contravenes the spirit
and law OF Odd Fellowship; and,
Whereas, the public might draw
an unwarranted conclusion from the
unlawful use OF the hall, injurious tx
our order, therefore be it
Resolved, that this lodge disclaimS
any connection with that mob, and
regrets that the hall was used by
them for that purpose.
Resolved, that these resolutions be
furnished the city papers for publ
cation, if available TO them, and they
be spread on the minutes of thi'
lodge.

without apprehension of being dis
