Cedar Creek Siftings.

The friends of VIM. Clark were griev.
ed to learn of his death last week. He
was good neighbor and an upright
man.
The high winds last week blew down
one of the old land marks on Cedar
Creek. It was the house on the old
Davis ranch. Nobody lived in it.
George Ref will manage Mrs. Hoy's
ranch this summer. George is q re-.
liable boy and we are glad that he has
such good, responsible job.
Everyone was rejoicing over the rain
Wednesday but when Thursday morn
ing came with the thermometer stand
Ing below the freezing point they be
gan to look little blue. Not much
damage was done here, however.
Bert Nesbltt. tenderfoot on the
Greek, says that he has heard that mu-
sic hath charms to soothe the savage
beast but if it is true, be thinks he has
met some that are not savage for the
best music has no effect upon them.
Sometimes we think that farmers
would make good actors. For instance
there is Mr.. VanHorn. He quit the
farm aud went into the mercantile busl-
ness. and when he was behind the coun-
ter you would have supposed that he
knew nothing about the farm. Now
he has left the counter and if you see
him in his granger costume you would
not suppose that he ever was a mer-
chant.
Johnnie Parker narrowly escaped
severe injury last Wednesday. During
the rain in the afternoon he and his
brother, Walter, went into aneoId un-
used house for shelter and the house
fell in and in some way Johnnie was
wedged in between the building and
the ground. Luckily he was not struck
by any timbers, but he was so firmly
fastened that neither he nor his brother
could extricate him. 1t happened that
A. A. Marched and Charley Barnett were
driving cattle about half of mile
distant and Walter signaled them to
come to their assistance and they soon
got Johnnie out of his predicament. It
was very fortunate that assistance ar.
rived, as it was raining heavily and the
water would have drowned him.

Governor Longino has returned
from a campaign tour through the
southern part of the state, delivering
addresses in the interest of his candi-
dacy for the United State Senate. He
spoke to large audiences at Ellisville
and Laurel yesterday, and returns
to the capital feeling very hopeful of
his chances, and we'll pleased with
the kindly reception accorded him by
the people. In discussing South Mis-
sisSippi affairs this morning, he said:
1.-The growth of the piney woods
section is to my mind thing to mar
vel at. The wonderful strides that
are being made in that portion of the
state are almost unbelievable. Cities
and towns are springing up through
what was once virgin forests as if by
magic. E1lisville and Laurel Impress
ed me particularly. They are minia-
ture cities, having many of the mod
ern utilities, and show most sub
stantial prosperity and enduring
growth. The same is true of all of
the other towns through that section.
Business excellent, laborers receive
good wages, the merchants enjoy a
steady and increasing trade, banks
show large earnings, and after the
land is cleared of the pine forests,
which are in themselves a fortune,
the soil is being devoted to agricul-
tural purposes, and it will raise good
crops.

HON. N. B. CRAWFORD
Defines His Position as 4 Candidate for
Railroad Commissioner.

the solicitation OF my friends, l have
decided to make the race for Railroad
Commissioner, but in dong so, I am
free to confess that the Office so far
has been a burden, rather than prof
fit to the state, but it is an office of
the State, and is to be filed by
some one, and as candidates have an
nounced for it, I propose to enter the
race, so that the merits and dement's
of the office may be discussed. My
position on IT., so far as the duties of
the Office relate to the management
Of penitentiary affairs is we'll known,
as it was fully and publicly given dur
ing the last session of the legislature.
l then said, and still say that the
State is making no money by farming
with convicts, and at the same time
raising cotton in competition with
the farmers. I have put myself to the
trouble OF corresponding with tho
Governors of the cotton growing
states, in order to find out the number
of convicts, and am of the opinion
that to include county and municipal
convictS, that there is near $4,000.
Now, the question is, if our farmers
can raise corn to supply a family of
five or six children, and then raise
four bales Of cotton, how much cotton
can convict raise, who has only to
raise corn for himself, one mule and
one hog, it appears to me that he
could easily raise six bales, and if so,
were all the convicts to raise cotton,
which is now the tendency of nearly
all of the states, and you would raise
300, 900 bales or 3 per cent of the crop
raised, which would be loss of three
per cent from the price, or S1.2O per
bale, that the farmer would loose on
each bale of his cotton. think our
public roads should be worked by con-
tract, and all able bodied men should
be worked on public roads. Several
of the states are pursuing that policy
to great extent. Farming should only
| be done by the weaker convicts, in
Guiding the women. However, if we
have land enough to employ all the
convicts, we ought to make money
with convict labor. County contrac-
tors are making money with them,
and the State could do it if convicts
and farms are properly managed, but
up to this time the State has lost the
labor Of convicts by farming. I know
the Board claims to the contrary, but
figures show that 1 am correct.

may know how I stand. 1 f1atter my

had more experience in that line,
than any OF them, and have been sue.

of the State would be as safe or safe,

A Letter From the Fork"

EDITOR SENrINEL:-I must tell you
and the many readers Of your paper,
about the excellent dinner we enjoyed
at the hospitable home of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. L. Sanderson. It was double
celebration, being Easter and the
birthday Of their little daughter,
Grace, a very bright, interesting lit
tie lady of ten springs. Words fail
me, when endeavor to describe the
appearance Of the table; as the little
child said once, when her mother had
spread an unusual repast, ''it looked
like fairy land" I really have for
gotten how many courses were served,
but I do remember that the turkey
was "gem Of beauty" too good to
last-and he didn't either; then there
was ham, SO artistically decorated
that it appeared shame to!desecrate
it with a carving knife, but alas! it
fell to the relentless pangs Of hunger.
There were salads too, of various
kinds, so tastefully arranged that it
displayed great ingenuity in the culi-
nary department., and that an adept
had presided over the preparation. I
can not mention everything that
was spread before us: Sufficient
to say the various kinds OF cake, ber-
ries and cream disappeared as rapidly
as the pig and turkey:
The guests consisted mostly of rela-
tives and friends, of course. Only
three visitors enjoyed being present.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. e. Perry, of Will
Evansville, and Mr.. Graves, of Kos
ciusko, pleasant, intelligent gentle
man, and the father of the young
professor of Enon High School. II he
fills full the promise of youth, he
will be a great man some day.
For fear my letter may be too long,
! I will add a postscript by saying il
could only attend a birthday dinner
every week, I would live as long as
COulU CdU, 1O1 ~ "<Io lily Happy pIlVu-
age to enjoy an elegant dinner with
| Mr.. Warner Horton and his charming
| wife, few days ago. Well, the din
ners are now thing of the past, SO
now I can only hope somebody else
/! will have a birthday before I get too
! hungry.
| The farmers OF this vicinity are
working with z will-planting corn,
are ready for cotton the coming week;
igardens are a little backward, but
with proper seasons and warm nights,
will soon pay the trouble and anxiety
spent on them.
The hawks are playing havoc with
the young chickens; am. afraid we
won't have enough TO feed the candi-
dates and preachers unless some mys-
lterious hand interferes to prevent
Itheir merciless raVages.
| Hoping that T will not Loose this
lstamp, and that you and everybody
Ieujoyed your Easter dinner g well s
did, am stin the same old .
