Cooke said: Its all plot to kill me;
damn you all, damn everybody. I'm
going to die like man. I am killed
for nothing, but I am the bravest
man in the state of Mississippi. There
is $1,000 waiting for anyone who
will kill the IL men who made this
plot. 1 will be revenged, for every
one of this IL will be killed, and no
questions will be asked. They have
murdered me, but revenge, revenge,

the black caps were adjusted. "Are
you both ready?" asked the sheriff.
YES" yelled Cooke through the folds
of black. Damn you people of Green

Chas. Lewis, a saloonist of Knox
vile, has caused a sensation in the
eastern portion of the city by leasing
half building at present used by
Methodist congregation and starting
a saloon in it. He states that he will
conduct the saloon just the same as
if the congregation did not worship
in the same building three times each
week. The members of the congre-
cation say that they will not leave
their place and the perseverance of
the saloon and church in this case
will be closely watched.

Utilizing Appendicitis.

1t was said the other day by one
who has a prejudice against these pro-
miscuous operations by surgeons for
any and every ailment: so the King
of England has appendicitis also, has
he? How stuck-up must the old-fash-
iOned belly-ache feel with such hifa-
lutin' name! And how dangerous it
has become, that to cure it the doctors
must go slashing and cutting among
even a Kings in'ards. Well, we'll, there
are many who believe in it, and I'm
afraid that the anarchists will get a
cue. Not one in a score RECEIVERS from
the operation, and If they could man
age to get the rulers to have a pro-
l0nged case of the stomach-ache and
let the doctors operate for appendi-
citis-don't you see how they could be
eXterminated lawfully"
That is certainly original, but it is
hoped the anarchists may be attacked
with the disease first. By the way, the
Kings condition again calls to mind
the impartiality of the great reaper.
The peasant and the king both must
be cut down. Of the former it is sim
ply said, Dust to dust" and of the
latter 1t is as simply proclaimed: Thy
pomp is brought down to the grave,
and the noise of thy Yiols; the worm is
spread under thee, and the worms COW
er thee"

Neighbors Fight.

Three neighbors, Tom Stanfeld,
Lin Crutchfeld and Paul Acuff,
near Catalpa, fifteen miles north
west of Jackson, fell out about a
dog. They met one day last week,
each having a double-barreled shot
gun, and renewed the quarrel. 1t
was a triangular fight; every man
emptied his gun, and when the
smoke cleared away Stanfeld was
left lying on the ground, danger
ously wounded with shot in his fore
head and cheek. Stanfeld lost a
leg in a shooting episode about a
year ago. He will recover, but is in
a serious condition. Bad bloods ex-
lists n the community and there may
be further trouble.

Woman VIII Spring the Trap.

Boisy Bryant, colored, will have a
unique taking off when he is hanged
at Adel, Ga, on August %. He will
be launched into eternity by the hand
of a white woman, the first affair Of
the kind in the history of the state.
Bryant was convicted at Adel of the
murder of w. A. Hyers, the marshal
of the town. Marshal Hyers was try
ing to break up a gang of negro
'blind tiger" keepers and gamblers,
when he was killed by Bryant. Mrs.
Ella Hall, daughter of the murdered
officer, wrote to Sheriff Swindel re-
questng the privilege of springing
the trap at the execution of Bryant,
and the sheriff has replied that, while
he anticipated the pleasure of the
privilege for himself, he will wave his
own inclinations and comply with her
request.

A Significant Opinion.

An important correspondence has
been going on recently between Foster
V. Brown, of Chattanooga, and G. W.
Pickle, for many years Attorney Gen
eral for Tennessee. 1t relates to cleo
tion matters, and If Pickles opinion
is correct, it will cut some figure in
elections. The correspondence called
out this from Pickle: ANY attempt on
the part of election officers to exclude
the voters and deny them the right to
witness the count after the votes have
been cast, would be illegal, and would
justify such resistance on the part of
the voters as would be necessary to
assert their rights"
But will not such a resistance" as
seems intended here-bodiIy force
prove a bad thing at the polls? would
it not lead to any number of scraps?
Gen. Pickle claims to be a Democrat,
but is fighting the Democratic league
of Knox county, where he resides. His
opinion is regarded as being signifi-
cant.
Perhaps the Knox countians have a
parrot and squirrel of-a-time before
them.

adherents in Nashville, though this is
comparatively new thing with that
race in this section.

the Catholics had any missionaries

State-which shows that the reverend
gentleman is not keeping up with the
