lets were born to Mrs. Jesse Miller-two

for whom they were named, the family
will prove an interesting one. Grover
Cleveland, grave, conservative, yet withal
affable and peaceful leader of mon, and
Theodore Roosevelt, impulsive, bull

Five Negroes Killed and Two Wounded.

jackson, Miss, March 6.-Five negroes
were killed and two mortally wounded
in the Doddsville neighborhood, in Sun
flower county, on Saturday night, as the
result of quarrels growing out of crap
games. The killings occurred in two
different localities and the county au-
thOrities are unable to find clews to the
parties responsible for the carnival of
crime, as over fifty negroes participated
in the fight, aud fully one hundred shots
were fired. When the smoke of battle
cleared away, all the combatants who
had escaped bullet wounds, had left the
community. Tho total amount involved
in the crap games did not exceed 25 cents.
The killings occurred in the same To-
cality where the negro Holbert and his
wife were burned at the stake by an in
furiated mob three weeks ago, and
which resulted ir the death of eight
persons. The burning incident was in
no way connected with the Saturday
night killings and no white persons
participated.

the next crop at least. But with it we
also have one dollar wheat and that
