demonstrated the proftableness of
making a highly-salable jelly. from
the Gull apples. Manager Macarthur

Cally. Apples fed in at one end come

II takes seven pounds OF apples to

All the press humorists who whet
their pencils on the Kentucky feudism
write on papers that are not pub
lished in Kentucky. The presumption
is that nobody in Kentucky dares be
funny. at the expense of the feudists.
Their inability to see anything humor-
Gus in their own mental attitude
keeps them in an assassination frame
of mind; and yet there is the height
of grim humor in it. The idea of keep
ing on killing each other for some
thing done by somebody decade ago,
is one that only a burlesque opera
could do justice to. - :. 49, -

was sawmill belonging to Mr..

aggregates about $4,000. There

Mississippi State News
Boundary Dispute.

Hon. Monroe McClurg will visit
the coast for the purpose Of explor-
ing the territory involved in the
boundary dispute between Louis
lana and Mississippi. Mr.. McClurg
has been appointed to represent the
State in the litigation which is now
pending before the Supreme Court
of the United States at Washington
He has handled the case from it's in
ception and it was thought advisable
to keep him at the helm on account
of his familiarity with the questions
at issue. This dispute, it will be re-
called, involves quite a considerable
expanse of water and coast line and
small islands on the coast which is
devoted to oyster industry. AS the
matter now stands there is consid-
cradle friction between the citizens
of the two States as to the respective
rights of each and the original
boundary markings seem to have.
disappeared. The State Of Louis
lana brought the suit originally and
the State of Mississippi, through
Gen. McClurg, the encouragement,
demurred to the showing made by
the Louisiana authorities, taking
the ground that there was no bound
ary dispute in fact. The court over
ruled this demurrer and required
the Mississippi authorities to plead
to the merits of the case. The case
will soon come up for trial before
the great tribunal at Washington
and Gen. McClurg desires to thor
oughly acquaint himself with all the,
facts of the case before he goes to
Washington. He will get the oys-
ter tug which belongs to the Mis-
sissippi oyster commission and he
will sail out over all the territory
involved in the dispute and famil-
iarize himself with the markings
and with the extent of the territory
and with all the facts.

Trims Sentence commuted.


Gov. Longino has decided to
make a field hand out of Shack
Trim, the negro who was recently
convicted of murder and sentenced
to hang in Quitman county. There
was an element of doubt in Trims
case, which in Il large met sure is
responsible for the : commutation,
and prior to the murder he had al
ways borne a good reputation. This,
coupled with the fact that a negro
of lusty strength. is worth more to
the State alive than dead, especially
during the farming season Of the
year, is the factor that saved Trim's
neck from the hangman's moose.
