Lon Bonds, a planter living near
West Point, attracted a great deal OF
interest in that place the other day
by placing On exhibition a wagon
load of fine wheat all ready for the
mill. 1t is a well known fact that
wheat used to be raised on no small
scale in Mississippi, but it is OF un-
usual occurrence at present. Mr.
Bonds tried to get the farmers IN
Clay county to cultivate tins article
this year, but succeeded in getting
only two to make the venture and
they raised only few bushels each.
Many of the farmers are now la
menting the fact that they did not
listen to Mr.. Bonds, whose success
is sufficient proof to them that their
land is suitable for the cultivation
Of this product. 1t is expected that
a large number will experiment next
year, and if they come out all right
there is no doubt that a -four mill
for Clay county will be the result.

The failure of the Chicago DC. BOND
syndicate to pay for the half million !, a
dollar bond issue is beginning 10
cou.e much uncasiness in eduoa-
tional circles. Unless the Senl,-an,

is made within the next Jew aays
some of the country schools will find
it almost impossible I'd OPEN as
many of them now have depicted
treasures. If the bonds are not
taken it will be heavy blow to the
educational interests of the State.

Few "Gune" in Claiborne County.

From glance at the assessment
rolls in Claiborne county, that the
people there do not place much de-
pendencc in the little weapon gen
orally to be found in the hip-pocket
is shown. There. are only four dozen
pistols in the county, or, rather,
that is the number shown on the as
SCISSORS account. There have been
exactly three dozen persons brought
up before the court ON the charge Of
CARRYING concealed weapons within
the past four years, from which it is
natural TO suppose that every pistol
in the county, with the exception Of
twelve, has been before the courts
unless, perhaps, the assessor was
greatly fooled.

New Bank for Ripley.

The citizens Of Ripley are rejolc-
ing over the fact that they are to
have a new bank and that it is to
commence operation by the first OF
October. Several of the most sub
stantial business men of the town arc
behind the enterprise and It's sue
cess is practical certainty. They
are going to throw open its doors
within the next few weeks with a
capital stock of $4,000.

THE Banner Dog County.

Perhaps the most interesting as
sessment rolls in Mississippi are
those of Madison county, the banner
county for dogs. 1t is understood
that every canine in the county dur
ing the past year has been assessed
and makes a total of 1888. The as
sessment is all the more interesting
when it is remembered that the total
number of polls assessed amounted
to 1928, only 20j more than the
number of dogs.

Lee County Bonds Sold.

The citizens of Lee county have
sold $500 worth of bonds for the
purpose of draining the swamp
lands along Twenty-mile creek, the
Bank of Tupelo being the success
full bidder after some very spirited
competition. Almost every other
kind of bond issue has been made in
Mississippi heretofore, but this one
for swamp land drainage is of very
recent eonference-in fact, the first
Of its kind reported in the State.

proclamation offering a reward Of
$3.50 for the arrest and conviction
of a negro named viii Edison. who
is wanted in Montgomery county on

Mckay to Manage the Carnival.

The cotton and corn carnival to
be held in jackson during the
month of December. will be under
the general management of j. n.
Mckay, of Madison Station. Mr..
Mckay was prominently identified
with the work of collecting the Mis-
sissippi exhibit for the Worlds Fair,
and his selection for the manage
ment of the cotton and corn carnival
is almost a guarantee Of the success
of that enterprise.

The supervisors of Lcnore county
have just about decided to build a
fine new courthouse. and are now
making visits to several of the coun-
ties in the State where these build
ings have been erected within the
past year or two. Several of the
members Of the board were in Jack
son few days since for the purpose
Of examining the Kinds county
courthouse, which is considered to be
not only the finest and most up to
date building Of its kind in Missis-
sippi. but ranks among the best in
the South. and which, in addition
to the lot and jail, cost over $780,
600. The supervisors will very like
ly award their contract for a similar
building.

Some Interesting Comparisons.

President j. c. Hardy. of the Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical College,
has furnished some very interesting
data in regard to a comparison be-
tween white and negro labor in Mis-
sissippi. In comparing a white
county with a black county, the
white one produces twice as much
cotton, although the black one was
the more fertile. In Kinds county,
where the negroes outnumbcr the
whites by three to one, it requires
two and one-hahf acres TO make
bale, while Perry county, with two
whites to one negro. less than two
acres make a bale. Kinds county
farm lands are worth three times as
much as those in Perry. Many other
such comparisons bring out the fact
that white labor is far better in this
State.

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.

Mr. Cleveland is Democratic lead
n twice sIected president, and Mr..
Bryan is a leader twice defeated for
president. Both have strong follow
ings, and for some time there has been
n great deal in the papers about which
will control the next Democratic con-
ysntion and dictate the platform. Mr..
Clevel.nd, in his recent article for
Philadelphia paper, says among other
things: 81 Am one OF those who be-
ileve there is an opportunity for Dem
orcstie success in the coming presi-
dent ini election =. Another incident
tksf supports belief in Democratic
opportunity is found in the apparent
determination of our party organiza-
tion to recover the harmony in council
and the unity of action that in times
past have so often presaged Demo-
cratic success"
Then Mr.. BRYAN responds:
"Mr. Cleveland has secretly mort
xaeed himself to Wall street. His
career has shown how completely the
conscience can be separated from the
mind in the performance of official
duty"
Mr.. Cleveland rejoins: LET Mr..
Bryan talk. don't care what he
says"
The Chicago Chronicle, rAbid
Democratic organ, comes to the front
with the assertion that the south
would not care whether the st. Louis
convention nominated a Democrat, a
Populist, Socialist, a wooden In.
dian or yellow dog"
This has put the southern press on
its ear. probably because it is true,
and thus are we daily finding Mr..
Cleveland's apparent determination
Of our party organization to recover
she harmony" etc. Certainly there il
n cog loose somewhere.

Costs 100000.

We publish this offer in every great
newspaper in America. The cost of
the offer, we expect, will reach $780,
600. We pay that price because it
seems the only way to quickly let the
sick know what Liquozone does.
The greatest value OF Liquozone lies
in the fact that it kills germs in the
body without killing the tissues. too.
And no man knows another way to do.
it. Any drug that kills germs is a
poison. and it cannot be taken in
ternally. Every physician knows that
medicine is almost helpless in any
germ disease.
Liquozone does in germ troubles
what all the drugs, all the skill in the
diseases which medicine never cures.

Ministerial Association Confer
With Charity Club.
Dcsire TO Co operate With Young We
men to Relieve Suffering
in This City. ).
NEWS OF THE CHURCHES

At the regular weekly meeting of
the Ministerial Association this morn
ing, in the Office, Of Rev. g. W. Per.
lyman Of the First Baptist charch, n
committee, consisting Of Rev George
o. Bachman, Of the First Cumberland
Presbyterian church and Rev. W. II.
Pinkerton OF the First Christian
church, was appointed 20 confer
with the Charity Club to see
if some arrangement could not be-
made by which the association could
co. operate with the club, in the collec-
ton and disbursement of funds for
the relief of the poor of the city.
The method of distribution adopted
by the Charity Club was very heartily
endorsed by the ministers and thc so
ciety was commended for its system
attic organization. Rev. R.W. Chiles,
Of the Union Rescue Mission, said
that he could receive more prompt and
intelligent relief from this club Of
young women, than from any other
source. when they had funds. The
club has been very much handicapped
in this respect recently, however.
1t was agreed by the ministers,
therefore, if system OF coop Grafton
could be established between them
and THIS club, that special collection
would be taken next Sunday morning
in all of the churches represented in
the association, for the relief Of the
poor, which is very dire at this time.
A colonial tea will be given by the
Charity club tomorrow afternoon al
the residence of Mrs. II. S. Wells
SOB Kentucky avenue, to replenish q
depleted treasury.
