VIRGIL.

DR.. Hill, of Sylvarena, health
officer for Smith county, with Dr. Il.
B. Baugh, of Polkville, camo around
this week looking into the smallpox
situation, and pronounced lit genuine
smallpox in modified form. 1t
would be good thing for all hands to
vaccinate as soon as practicable.
Robert Ross, near Polkville, who
has been sick for quito time, died
this week. Robert was good boy,
and will be missed
We would say to the Langford cor
respondent that it is small matter
for fellow to 60 to bed without cat
ing meat when he has none to eat, but
gentlemen who are used to meat can
afford to risk it, and even dog knows
where to find bones to knaw.
Mr.. Welch and family are up from
smallpox and no new cases have deve-
loped for few days. We think our
county health officer ought to look in
to the matter and insist on vaccina-
tion. The disease may linger on till
local conditions become more favor
able and assume a malignant form and
give us serious trouble.
Tom Traxler has moved from Virgil
to Cooperville, Scott county.
Gardening and oat sowing is kept
back by too much rain.
We notice many of our old friends
are coming out for Office. All right,
gentlemen, if you can ''pass MUSTER
on the liquor, and other issues, we
will give you q chance. Tell us how
you stand on whisky drinking, school,
road and dog law.
Our church and Sunday school
work is suffering because of bad
weather. Country people are not
conveniently situated i'll this regard,
and then some Of our churches have
no heaters.
We sympathize with Sambo in
his signal failure to comfort ''Dixie
Doodle. - He had better consult the
length and calibre of his popgun next
time he tries to reply to grown people,
or he may find himself in n worse fix
than Mrs Minnie Cox. Poor little
f'Sambc,' but then, Poodles ought to
stay out of bear fights, and gnats out
of hail storms. We thought from the
way he started out, .he was a very
Samson, fresh from lightning bug
convention, fourishing the jaw bone
Of candle fly. Would suggest to
Sambo that small yearlings had best
avoid running into the Bulls of
''Bashan on the Mountains of Eph-
RAM If they don't they will have
to go in for repairs. Had 'Sambo"
ever known how to sing Doodle he
never would have written his Answer
to Dixie Doodle at all. AS for a
song he had better try "The Devils
Dream,'' or "The Fishermsan's Horn
Pipe" and then go to bed, if he calls
q straw mattress, or a pile of shavAngs
a bed. But then, go ahead little
''Sambo and assert your humanity.
] believe you are human and pos
sess a soul in spite of DR.. Carroll
and Tee Pee, though your soul may
be SO little that thousand OF them
could travel hundred years inside
the hollow of a mustard seed and
never cross each others path, yet | be-
lieve you have it, and have just read
of man in Copiah county who can
show the paper on it. Now ! will
turn you over to "Dixie Doodle, who
will, am sure, give you the parting
kiss, and,
Don't you see--so mote 1t be
Sought bear and caught flea,
Can't kill lion, won't kill a nit,
So by consent, you had better quit.

FRIENDS OF THE UNION

Fear That Threatened Deadlock Cannot
Be Broken.

Friends Of the union station are IN
easy in regard to the position taken by
the conferees on the part of the House
Of Representatives at the conference of
the two branches OF Congress which
was resumed yesterday in the room Of
the Senate Committee on District At
fairs. The deadlock which was threaten
ed at the first meeting Is now almost a
certainty and with that as the situation
the meeting adjourned until Monday.
It is the difference of opinion as to
the amount to be paid the railroad com
pauies out OF the general and district
treasures that continues to keep the
Senate and House apart AS the bill
passed the Senate it provided that the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio
Railroads should each be paid SOC 600
This amount was scaled down by the
House to $1,000 900. each.

Mr. DobIin said he had met a. the

At this point Doblin apparently became

cIared that when he made his statement

that 1t would go no further. Follow
