Too Bad TO Talk BbOnt.

The cold snap through which we
have just passed is one long to be
remembered 1t was the coolest
aud longest spell Of mean weather
that we have had to endure since
the memorable winter of '71-2,
when both man and beast were KEEP:
In doors for three straight weeks
on a single stretch. During this
spell it has aot been quite as cold
as it was on tue 18th day Of Feb
ruary, 1899, When the thermometer
went down to 80 below zero; but
what it has lacked in intensity it
has made up in duration and gen.
eral disagreeableness. There never
was town in as bad a fix to meet
such a spell as Tupelo was when
this record breaker made its break
upon us. Our main streets had
just been dug all over for sewerage
pipe, and the excavations had all
sunken in and were in such fix
that vehicles were endangered IN
trying to pass over them. The side
walks in the residence part of the
city We're sleek as mud and ice
could make them, and the street
crossings were cut up into hillocks
and holes filled with snow, over
Which no fat old man could safely
pass. All the old fellows who, in
good weather, stand areund on the
street corners and give advice about
how to run the town, were kept in
doors and had to let the boys run
it their wac during the snap. Many
people got out Of coal, and nearly
all of our good women who have
no cook got out of stove wood.
Some of the men folk found bust
ness out of town and left the home
folk to cope with the situation. The
schools have kept running, but on
greatly reduced averages, and the
Jealous preachers had to preach to
a "beggarly account of empty
benches,'' from which the men
wore conspicuonsly absent The
most comfortable place in the city
was the new court house, where
Will Kelly kept up his levees and
collected taxes from shivering peo-
pie, and the circuit clerk sold H.
censes at three dollars a piece to
warm hearted young follows.

Col. Clayton is the Nester Of the

Tupelo bar were born and it is
needless to say that an address by
him would be interesting, instruct

would be enjoyed by his juniors at
the bar who regard him with great
esteem aud reverence. Hon. John
Allen is another servivOr at this
bar who would doubtless be will
ling aud ready to contribute to the
pleasure Of the occasion. He has
been prominent in the courts OF Lee
county for third of a century and
could tell great many Jimmy and
some sad things that have occurred

and as a dignitied judge in our

The State Buys Mares.

Gov. Vardaman and MeSSrs. Nc
Nair, Bradley and Kincan non
of the Board Of Cont rol
went last week to st. Louis
for the purpose of buying brood
mares to be put on the Rankin and
Oakley farms, which belong to the
state. While there they entered
into a contract for the delivery OF
seventy animals, which are to come
up to the following standard, viz. /:
Weight, 1000 pounds or over
height, Is IL hands or over; age,
not over nor under 4 years all
to be without defect or blemish and
well broke. The price agreed up
on Was $l3o per head.
These animals are all well bred
none Of them being of Texas, Mus
tang or Montana breeds or crosses.
These mares are to be used for
breeding mules. The state buys
annually between forty and fifty
head to supply its needs. The
mares will be worked on these
farms, which are of sandy or light
soil. 1t is reported that their work
will produce enough hay, potatoes,
pork and molasses to supply all
the convicts on the. states farms.
If the expectations of the board of
control should be realized the ex-
pertinent will prove to be big
success, and the state will he a.
large gamer.

Bryan ia Roosevelt.
"Thssdore Roosevelt has always
been q puzzle to me. He is SO still"
said William Jennings Bryan in
an interview in Memphis the other
day. "He has done many things
that have called for the most ardent
opposition from those whs believe
as do regarding the principle Of
a free government like ours.
Gle is OCCASIONALLY coming up
with some declaration of principle
or policy that compels our admira-
ton and calls for our support in
no small measure.
ut appears to nae that he has
greatly modified his rule Of action
since the last campaign. 1t is eer-
tain, to my mind. that if he pre-
sists IN the policy which he has
outlined since that event no will
split the Republican party wide
open, for he is advocating some
things that arc repugnant to Re-
publican doctrine and as diametri.
cally opposed to Republican tenets
rs it is possible for them to be.
Il have said that he occasionally
does thinSs that compel my sdmir.
alton. l think that one of the
greatest things ever done by an
American citizen was his declara.
ton that under no circumstances
would he be . candidate for a third
term. The American people had
not been led to expect this of Mr..
Roosevelt. His whole career had
induced them to believe, on the
contrary, that he would leave nc
influence unused to secure the
nomination Of his party for a
third therm. His declaration au.
gurs we'll for the preservation OF
American ideals, in SO far as his
noninterference is concerned, at
least.
Zone thing in which his policy
is threatening tho integrity of hia
party is his position with regard
to the increase of the powers of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
eff his view prevails in this
matter it will tend to the break
ing up of trusts among the great
railway corporations and to the
eventual Government ownership of
these public utilities. In this Mr..
Roosevelt will have the bitter op-
position of the larger wing Of bis
own party, but he will be support
ed by the Democracy"
In reponce to remark by M. r.
Patterson, Congressman from the
Tenth Tennessee District, to the
effect that the Democrats would
never win until they raised a larger
campaign fund than was at their
command during the las. campaign
Mr.. Bryan said.
"You are mistaken. The Dem
ocrats will never win with a great
campaign fund, They do not want
it. They do not need it. The mo-
lnent they win political victory
through the aid of a great cam
paign fund they cease to be Dem
ocrat and become plutocrats.

INDIANA BANK FAILS.
Institution at Hagerstown in Receiv-
er's Hands-Liabilities of Over,
100000 Assets Unknown.

Richmond, Ind. July IL. A. Spoken
hier has been appointed receiver of the
Commercial bank, of Hagerstown, Ind,
on application of President Frank Ma
son. The liabilities exceed 100000,
while the assets are given as much less
than that amount. The cashier, John
Bowman, committed suicide last Mon
day, and this action led to the present
receivership. Following the suicide an
investigation was made, the affairs Of
the bank having been almost exclusive
ly in BoWman's hands. According to a
statement given out before the applica-
ton for the receiver, only $1,000 in cash
was found although the assets are be-
lieved to be nearly $4,000. TIL reason
for Bowman's suicide have not yet de-
veloped.
