Searched for a Negro.

A report from Brookside. in the western part of the county, says that enraged white citizens last night hunted for Jasper Smitherman, a negro, and had they been able to locate him he would have suffered badly at their lands.

A telephone mes sage from Mayor Wiley Burton this morn ing said that fortunately no trouble took place and that Smitherman was now out of sight He said he did not doubt but that had the people of Brookside found Smitherman last night he would have been dealt with summarily, but that the anger on their part has about worn on.

Crops Are Improving.

A thorough rain fell at noon today and the much needed precipitation has. 1t is thought, greatly helped both cotton and corn.
 The corn crop gives promise of being one of the best raised in many years. It has had favorable growth from its incip- iency and atmospheric conditions have of late been quite favorable.
 The cotton crop was retarded at the first by cold weather and later by inces- sant rains but a week of hot weather has started rapid growth and maturity and today's rain came at the proper time. The grass which has luxurdated during the wet spell Is now und~r sway In most sections and the cotton crop as a whole may be said to be in good condition.

 The room as fitted up in the attic is out of harmony with the other rooms, being very irregular and not properly arranged for the advantage of the teacher. The ventilation of this room should be looked after at odce, for when I entered the room the atmos- phere was that bad the door had to be left open. and one could notice the ef- feet of poor ventilation upon the pupils. l may be overstepping my bounds in this matter, but it is for the interest of the pupils, as do not believe good work can be accomplished under condi- tions as they exist in this particular room, and it is working more or less of hardship on the teacher.

STORIETTES.

It is related that when Colonel David Brenner Henderson, who recently de- clined to run again for representative to Congress. was lieutenant in the Twelfth Iowa, at the battle of Corinth,
 he noticed a soldier whose gun had been clogged, and which refused to work. The poor fellow, in the belief that he would surely be killed with a useles weapon in his hand, became woefully excited, and began to tremble as with an ague. You internal fool, " shouted Henderson, forgetting conven- tionalities for the moment, "here, why don't you pick the tube out with a pin, same as you do when you're shooting prairie chickens?" The words prairie chicken, in the ear of this native of Iowa, sounded so good, that it immedi. ately brought him to himself. He at once cleaned out his gun and went into the fight. At the end of the battle, the man who had cleaned out his gun, had been shot in the hip, and Henderson had received the shot in his left foot, which now compels him to wear an artificial leg. When the two happened to meet afterward, Colonel Henderson said: "Well, old boy, that prairie chicken saved your life, if it didn't your hip.'
 In an article of "reminiscences, Mary Stuart Boyd says that the late Bret Harte never obtruded his personality. He also had dread of people regard ing him for his work only, not for him. self.
