summer. The costly embroidered
muslin and chiffon gowns designed
originally for summer garden parties
are now worn all the autumn aud Win

difference being that the silk lining IS
cut high in the neck and long in the
sleeves, for. although the yoke is
sometimes transparent. there is net
the same effect as when the thin silk

rule in the summer gowns exclusively

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.

At about 1 O'Clock last Monday
,nornihgLGrant Ward, colored por-
ter of the Southern Express Company,
while carrying a shot gun from the
wagon to the place where it was kept,
accidentally discharged: the weapon, the
entire charge of ten buck shot enter
ing his ear and side of head, killing
him instantly.
The young men in the office anu
who testified before the cororers
jury, stated that after getting the gun
off the seat of the wagon he was
heard to say as he entered the house:
Toward march !" and raised the gun
to an upright position and they, being
busily engaged in checking up the
express, never paid any more att sntion
to him until the report of the gun
was heard on opposite side of the
room, and ON going around to see the
cause, found him dead with the gun
lying near him ON the floor and blood
flowing rom hole in his head which
the charge had made
The jury on the evidence returned
a verdict of death caused by accident

GRAND LODGE MEETING.

The Grand Lodge Of Odd Fellows
Will meet here the 9th or 9Th day
OF May and extensive preparations are
now being made by the local COM
mittee for their reception Greenville
never goes at anything by halves and
the entertainment of the l. O. O. F's
Is not going to do it this time and in
the Representatives from the different
parts OF the state whose pleasure it
will be to attend this meeting will
ind it one of the most agreeable and
pleasant they have ever attended
IN the history of the Organization in
this state. We learn from the chair
man of the entertainment committee
that moonlight excursion will be
given the members one night during
the sessions, on the elegant steamer
Belle of the Bends. This will prove
an enjoyable feature, especially to
those representatives from the hill
counties The body that will assem-
BILE here promises to be Lne of the
largest in the history of this order
and they will be given the grip of
welcome by every citizen they meet.

A BIG BARBECUE.

A big old fashioned country barbe-
cue dinner-The candidates to speak
here and general jollification meeting
Is the program arranged by the ladies
OF Kings Daughters Circles for
Tuesday, the 9TH day of May.
Greenville has seen people here in
the past but if the day is bright
one, with the cheap excursion Rates
they have secured to this point on all
the railroads, they ought to fill this
city like Ringling's circus. It is
true some people would not come for
barbecue dinner, others for a pol
itlcal speaking, but when you COM
bine them both, it is bound to draw
a crowb.
On that day the citizens can give
their cooks holiday for when the
aroma of barbecued meats is carried
into every home by the fresh morning
breeze, there is no dinner outside of a
barbecue dinner that will satisfy their
hungry appetites.
Tht guhcrnatorial candidates have
accepted the invitation of the kind
ladies and will be present on the oc-
casion. Besides the candidates for
Governor, the Senatorial candidates,
Senator H. D. Money and Gov. A. H.
Longino, will be present besides the
score of minor candidates that follow
the big guns to electioneer while
they hold the people.
The fact that on that day the
Grand Lodge of I. o. o. F. will meet
in the city also insures the balance
of the candidates who will come to
meet the men who will come here
from the four corners of the great
state.
In the success of this day the ladies
should be encouraged and supported
by the business men of the city as
it will prove to all who come that
Greenville is all right and that in
every way they may look, push and
and prosperity in spite OF
the recent high waters can be seen.

THE HIGH WATER.

The high water here Is now passed
into history and unless the rise at
Cairo raises the river again the dam
age to the county will be very little.
The business Of the city is daily i'm
proving in every line and the whole
business interests have taken on
new life and gone after the trade in
earnest.
1t sounds little funny, but many
of the overfiowed farms that the
water left week ago are planted and
the crop of cotton is up They are
really better in condition than many
that never received any water, as
during and since the overflow the
breaking was very rough for the need
of rain.
The Delta is wonderful country
for its troubles are soon forgotten

John F. Harris, colored, who was
charged with receiving funds Of stolen
property was tried before Justice. of
the Peace Vaughn last Tuesday and
acquitted. Harris is an attorney at
law and an ex-member Of the iegisla-
ture and has always been looked upon
as good citizen. During one of the
sessions of the Legislature he won the
admiration of that body by speech
he made advocating the erection OF
monument to the fallen heroes OF
the South. Harris is well liked in
the city and his acquittal, from the
evidence, is but just verdict.

Don't you think it poor economy
to replace your old dilapidated wood
en- fence by another of the same
material when you can get hand
some iron one for practically the same
price, with the following advan-
tages in favor of the latter: 1t is
stronger and more durable than a
wooden fence, needs no repairs, has
self closing gates, beautifies the lawn,
makes home attractive, newly painted
looks like new, adds to the value OF
property, will last life time, and is
the pride of the home. Now is the
time to select your design for al iron
fence as it takes from three to four
weeks to make and ship them, and
YOU would be surprised to see how
cheap Capt. Bourges is selling them

The Meridian Press, which is hos.
tile to Major vadaman's candidacy
for governor. but which is reputa-
bic and respectable paper. says that
the race for governor is undoubtedly
between Judge Ortiz and Major Var.
iaman. The Press urges its friends
10 support Mr. Critz.
The Post believes it very probable
that Major vardaman will be success.
full in the first primary. and that an.
der the operation Of the electoral
feature of the primary election law. a
sketch Of which we published yester.
