LEGISLATURE Adjourned.

The session of the legislature of
Mississippi came to "a close at
noon on the 22nd inst. and the
work of that body now becomes a
part of history. On Monday
morning considerable excitement
was caused by the question of no
quorum being present and it be-
come necessary for the presiding
officers of the two houses to send
kilograms and telephone messages
to those members who had gone
home to return on the first train.
Tuesday morning found the house
still short of quorum but Speaker
Thomas signed a number of bills
anyway, stating that after consld-
ering the matter he felt that 1t
was his duty to do so. What eff
feet the question of no quorum
will have on the legislation of the
session not finally disposed of un-
til after the point of no quorum
was raised will have to be deter
mined later. The cause of the
trouble came up over the merger
bill the object Of which was to
authorize the merger of the Mobile
q Ohio and Southern and other
railroads doing business in the
state. This measure was hard
fought and went through by a very
close vote. The bill is now in the
hands of the governor and what
action he will take remains 10 be
seen. 1t is supposed that the gov
ernor will not sign the bill and
that it cannot become a law until
the meeting of the legislature two
years hence.

An Explanation

Mr.. Editor As there is somv
confusion among the Cumberland
Presbyterians and misunderstand-
ing among others, on the proposed
union of the Cumberland Presby-
terrain church and the so called
Northern Presbyterian church, let
me write a few words by way Of
explanation.
In the first place, the Presbyte-
rian church in Mississippi is not
the Presbyterian denomination
with whice union is proposed. The
Presbyterian church in Mississippi
is what is known as the Southern
Presbyterians (the Presbyterian
church In United Sta.es.) The one
with which union IS proposed is
what is known as the Northern
Presbyterian church (the Presby-
terian church in the United States
of America.) The Cumberland
Presbyterian General Assembly
at its meeting last May appointed
a committee on Presbyterian Fra
ternity and Union. Now three
Presbyterian General Assemblies
are in session at the same time,
so when the Cumberland and Pres
byterian Assembly appointed the
above committee, the fact was
wired to the other two Assemblies,
The Assembly of the Presbyterian
church in the United States of
America ESQ called Northern) re
sponded and appointed a like com
mittee for like purpose. The
other Assembly did not respond
but later wrote that they did "not
see their way clear to appoint the
committee requested" The com
mittees appointed as above met
and unanimously agreed on a re-
port which as reported in the
daily papers is correct approx.
mately.
Before there is any union, this
report must be submitted to the
two Assemblies meeting in May
next, and if adopted by them both
will be handed down to be submit
ted to the Presbyterians of the two
denominations and voted on by
each Presbytery Should two
thirds of the Presbyterians adop'
the report, then the Assemblies
would perfect the arrangements
for the union. Should the propos.
ed union be effected it would have,
practically very little effect on the
Cumberland Presbyterlans in Mis-
sissippi. Our Presbyteries would
be the same boundary, the member
ship of the Presbytrries would bt
unchanged for some time at least
our local churches would be jus
as they are. Same organizations
membership, control of property
etc. There would be some change
in the general church work.
There would be no negroes, a:
some think, in the presbyterles IL
the South or in any of the organaza
tons any where, where not want
ed, except in the General meeting
where they would appear as dele
gates.

Our state will be represented by
a fine exhibit showing it's varied
products, it's timber resources, it's
manufactures and its educational

Legislature has been quite liberal
in Its appropriations for the states

dividuals have arranged for q large
line of other exhibits. What has
Lee county done In this matter?
The time is at hand when all who
desire to exhibit objects must send
them forward and enter them.
Hou. R. Il. Henry, Commissioner
at Jackson will give all information
desired. Mr.. F. A. Green, of
Verona, is one of the county com
mistloners and will receive and
supervise the shipment of all
articles designed for the fair. We
trust the county may make a show

of the best counties in the south

Hearst's Boom.

We see that a good many papers,

copied from other papers, booming

which a shrewd schemer can con-
troll newspapers and make them

We are not on the inside of Hearsts

easily detect the a marks of his

into the papers spoken of. OF al

This is getting pretty far north

til it becomes general throughout
the country. The negro consti-

The Belled Buzzard.

Our readees will, perhaps, re-
call having read, once in a while,
about a buzzard with a bell about
his, neck having been seen in parts
of the country. This buzzard has
made its appearance again and
this time was seen near Verona.
Henry Robertson, a trustworthy
negro man, who works land in
Town Greek bottom, one mile north
of Verona, informs us that he had
a good view of this bird On Friday
last and that he could easily see
the bell and hear it's jingle. The
buzzard flew quite ear him and
seemed to be quite tame. He says
his mule, which he was blowing,
stopped to take a look at the bird
and seemed interested IN it. Hen
RVS mule is not endowed with the
powers of speech that his progen-
itor ridden by BALKAN possessed
and in a court of law could not
give testimony. But Henry WOrd
is as good as his bond and we be-
lieve firmly that he saw the famous
belled buzzard. This bird has a
history and some of u people
know it. A good many years ago
Thompson Meadows, living near
Keownville, Union CO., caught a
buzzard and he and his sons put. a
bell on it's neck and turned it loose.
This bird has been seen frequent
ly flying over the earth and in some
instances the jingle of the bell has
been heard by people who could
not locate it. Some superstitious
folks have been awed by its mys-
FERROUS sounds and have ascribed
it to supernatural causes The
buzzard lives to a great age and
we and our ~posterity may occasion
ally hear of this specimen during
the entire run of the present CEN
tury.
