 On Saturday night a well-known Mexican bull-fighter, Signor Frederico Garcia, who was staying on this side was visiting the Mexican town. when he became involved in an altercation with a Mexican, and during the row that ensued stepped across to the United States side. A fight ensued, in which the bull-fghter was severely cut in the wrist, and bled profusely. He is receiving medical attention at his lodging. His assailant escaped across the line

Something Rare.

Clarksdale, Miss, June 3.-Capt. A .
L. Dabney, a prominent citizen of this
place, announces to his friends that he
will serve one of his famous rattlesnake
suppers within the next fortnight, and
a number of invitations have been is
sued to the event.
A monster rattlesnake was recently
captured by Capt. Dabney and is now
undergoing the fattening process, and
the supper will take place at time
when, in the judgment of the host, the
reptile has attained sufficient obesity
to be proper for serving. The poison
has been carefully extracted, and the
operation was performed without
mishap.
About two years ago Capt. Dabney
startled Memphis with one of his rat
tlesnake suppers at a prominent cafe,
and those who had the nerve to partake
of the repast declared that the snake
had delicious flavor, being happy
medium between the frog leg and
spring chicken.

Referring to Governor Longino's in
vitation to President Roosevelt to bear
hunt in the Delta, the Yazoo Sentinel
says "the Governor is making no
friends among Mississippi Democrats
by hobnobbing with one who has so
studiously and maliciously slandered
the South and her people,. In justice
to the Governor it is to be remembered
that his alleged invitation to the
"broncho buster" antedated the Ar
lington Memorial Day address. And
before setting him down as regardless
of base and uncalled for slur that
touches every Southern man, he
should be given time to recall his in
vitation, as Roosevelt did in Tillman's
case.--Vicks6urg Herald

Is, Beyond all Doubt, the Right
Man for the Right Place,


Man for the Right Place.
The Biloxi Herald, published in
Harrison county, which is part of
the new Sixth Congressional District,
as well as of the old Sixth, represented
by Mr.. McLain for two terms without
opposition, says:
"Few men, indeed, have made such
rapid strides toward the zenith of
power in the halls of Congress as has
Mr.. McLain, and the people of the
Seventh will not only honor man
who is in every respect worthy of their
suffrage by returning Mr.. McLain to
Congress, but will thereby win recog-
milton for their district such as few
men can>bring it,.
"His work since first he took his seat
in the House of Representative is in
disputable evidence that he is ever
alert to every interest of his constitu-
ency, and that he at all times sleeps
upon his arms, so to speak, and is
ready to defend their rights at the first
alarm, and that the word surrender is
a stranger to his official vocabulary.
He has and may again meet with tenn
porary repulse, but he always rallies
and comes afresh to battle with de-
termination that always vouchsafes
victory under the most trying ordeals.
That is the kind of men every district
in Mississippi should be represented
by in Congress, and when his present
term ends it will be with no ordinary
regret that the coast counties will part
with him. But the Sixth's loss is the
Seventies gain, if the suffragans of that
district can but see their best interest.
"The few years that Mr.. McLain has
been in Congress he has won for him
self an enviable name among the
Representatives of the other States as
Statesman of no mean merit. He is
regarded by the members of both par
ties as one of high ability and power
full intuition, and hence has the respect
and the assistance of the members of
both political parties in any measure
he may bring before the House.
Everyone who has the welfare of his
district and the State at heart will
readily recognize of what great ad-
vantage such a condition is to a mem
Der of Congress.
"While it is really none of it's con-
Germ, the Herald repeats that the suf-
fragans of the Seventh district will act
wisely in returning Mr.. McLain to
Congress. There is no room to ques-
ton but what he can accomplish more
for their district than any other person
they can elect at this time, and in thus
honoring Mr.. McLain they will not
only be honoring themselves, but will
also reap rich benefit from their wis
dom.
"The old Sixth has tried him and
knows his real worth. He is as true
as steel to his constituency and as
pure as refined gold in his statesman
ship. He is stranger to avarice and
foe to intrigue and dishonor".

Manager Evans, of the local Tele-
phone Exchange, has received in
structions from headquarters to in
stall long distance phones in resi-
dences at SI65 and in business places
at S2.75 per month. Over one hundred
phones have been spoken for at the
reduction and ultimately every phone
in town will be replaced by the long
distance instrument. Following this
improvement, reduction in tolls to dis
tant points may be confidently looked
for, as it is the policy of the Cumber-
land to popularize its system by every
means consistent with the maintenance

Prof. Scott at Hazlehurst.

Prof. Scott delivered the address to
the graduates Of the Hazlehurst High
School last week. The Hazlehurst
Courier has the following concerning it:
In his remarks to the graduating
class Of the High School, Prof. Scott
spoke of the lamentable fact that so
few boys are graduated by our schools.
Why is it that so few of our boys have
any ambition? How many of our young
men are preparing themselves for a
career of usefulness? Thinking along
these lines we were not surprised to
find that Wesson is advertising for a
young man to take charge of an oil
mill. Why is it that some Hazlehurst
or Wesson boy has not prepared him
self for a position of that kind? 1t is
much better than clerking at S25 per
month. A young lawyer in Memphis
several years ago prepared speeches of
all kinds so that he might be ready
whenever called on. This young man
has now a reputation extending be-
yond the lines of his State. Young
man, be>ready for the next 1880 job.
Don't let the people be forced to send
North tn get competent manager for
cotton factory, oil mill or lumber
concern.

To the Voters of Lincoln County,
In announcing myself as candidate for nomi-
nation as your Representative in the 5Sth Con-
greSs, l have not taken counsel with my am
bitiOn alone, though l would esteem it the
browning hour of my life to again represent
such constituency. From early manhood
have stood, in success or defeat, Democrat
knowing no other campfire nor following any
other flag. Nor have ever sulked in my tent
but have always been ready, at the call of
service, in public or private life to contend for
party and people. If you should again honor
me | will tender to you the best service of my
life, giving you all the energy and ability may
be endowed with. Should you prefer another,
whom you may think better qualified, will
accept your verdict and still remain,

We have no eyes for thee, they're on

Beribboned and belaced, she
Is just about to show
Your brightest consultations
A thing or two | trow!
Now clips she with her scissors
And yields the silken thread,
While visions of her triumph
Are racing through her head.
And on her fingers nimble,
She fits the festive thimble,
a rosy, bluShing symbol
Ofyouth to conquer speed.
Back, all ye weighty questions
And problems of the day!
We have no time for you now,
No matter what you weigh!
Let business complications
And great affairs of State
Stand back, we're near commencement,
And other things can wait!
Let armies vie with armies,
Let nations fall or rise.
But for these lesser matters
We have no ears nor eyes;
We're deep in admiration
Of all this preparation
And incident surprise.
Stand still We whirling planets,
Your dizzy dance suppress!
We deem yourselves important,
But stand We, none the less;
You're hardly worth a mention
We riv6t our attention
On each demure dimension
