A Blessing. To. ALL

A good price for cotton this
fall will be a blessing to the
young farmer who desires to
marry. 1t will enable him to
buy his license and furnish quar-
tiers for his bride without finan-
cial endorsements. Let us
hope that the price of cotton will
advance. Aberdeen Weekly.
Yes, and a blessing for the man
who secured his license and bride
years ago and now has a house
full of barefooted children who
need to be shod and clothed for
the winter; a blessing to the far
mer in debt, who is paying out
his home; a blessing to the mer-
chant, who has, sold goods on
a credit and must soon settle
with the wholesale man and
banker;a blessing to the preacher
who has prayed for the souls OF
the people and pointed the way
to a higher and better life, and
last but not least, a blessing to
the newspaper man, who stands
at the foot of the class and wish
es that the price of cotton would
go to a dollar and a half a pound
so that it could reach him in the
general distribution.

Campaign Funds Needed

To All Democratic Voters:
If there ever was a time in the
history of the Democratic party
for the manifestation of loyalty
and patriotism on the part OF
its members, it is right now.
If we are to win the victory
and elect a President two years
hence, we must first electa House
of Representatives this fall. A
Democratic House can and will
investigate every department. OF
the Government. With all of them
honeycomhed by graft" the
edges of which, only, have been
touched by recent exposure and
prosecutions, there will be a rev
elation of rottenness that will as
found the country and create a
demand for a Democratic admin
istration to clean the Government
workshop.
To win the House we need mon
ey to defray legitimate expenses
and get out our vote. We have
no protected monopolies from
which to draw. to, fill our Golfers,
as they do those Of the Republican
party. We must therefore, APP
peal to loyal Democrats for con.
tributions.
Will you send US $1.00 at once,
and in return for this we will
send you copies of our campaign
literature issued by the Commit
tee. You will have the thanks
of the entire Democratic party
for your favorable response to
our request. Address all remit
tances to JIM. Griggs, Chairman,
Munsey Building, Washington

The Government Estimate

The Crop Estimating Board
Of the Department OF Agricul-
.ture estimates the condition of
the cotton crop of 1906 up to
August the Is to be ,77.3. The
Census bureau reports 403, 209
bales ginned to September l..
The estimate issued this year is
better by several points than at
the same time last year, and il
correct would Indicate an increase
yield. The government estimate
was based on conditions which
existed before the rs day of Aul
gust, seventeen days before the
estimate was announced, and
did not represent the condition
of crop at the time the report
was made. Since the 18th day
of August in many sections OF
cotton belt conditions have been
very unfayorable to the plant
and either from excessive wet
or excessive dry, hot weather,
there has been considerable de-
terioration in the crop. In this
section during the latter part OF
August and the first week of the
present month, hot, dry weather
prevailed and the forms ano
blooms that come, and from
which the top crop was expected
parched and shed. There was 9
very general complaint that this
condition existed in all parts Of
North Mississippi and this i'm
mediate section suffered great
ly. The early opening OF the
bolls indicates a short yield, but
with favorable weather for pick,
ing an unpromising crop gives
larger yield than is usually expec'
ted.

County Tax Levy 7 Mills.

The Board Of Supervisors have
fixed the county tax rate OF the
year at Z mills, which in addition
to the state tax, will make the
levy 13 mills. This is a reduc-
ton of two mills below the. as
sessment of 1905. During the
present year there has been a
great demand for work on the
levees and bridges in the county,
and it has taken a heavy outlay
.te meet these demands. Some
of the longest and most expen-
sive bridges in the county have
given way audit was necessary
before the heavy fall business
set in to replace them with new
structures and with the high
prices for material it has cost
heavily to replace these bridges.
The Board have done exceeding
" well in financing the county
during the year, and the reduc-
ton in the assessment shows that
the policy of economy will be
continued in the future, and on
" where the case is Imperative
will an outlay of public fucds be
made. 49,

An effort will be made through
the speeches of Secretary Shaw in
the south, with the tariff and
and against the government own
ership of railroads as issues, to
add congressman from the south
ern states to the republican list.
Mr.. Shaw will appear in Memphis
tomorrow, and as an inducement
for republican votes will offer to
the Bluff City a subtreasury of
the government. Mr.. Shaw's
efforts to secure a few additions
to the republican column in the
next congress may have behind
IL the secret desire to make up
for losses anticipated in some of
the western and eastern states.
There vas never a time when it
was more to the interests of the
south to stand together thar now
and the specious promises of the
secretary of the treasury will
hardly gain strength for his par
fy at this time in this section.

SWALLOWED KERNAL WRONG
 WAY.


 A successful and somewhat unusual operation was performed at the Bridge port hospital November r when the windpipe of young girl was cut in order to allow the removal of a, kernal of corn that had lodged there The operation was performed by Dr. H. E. Smyth, assisted by the house staff. The little girl was Olga Oleson, eight years old, who lives at 94 Bell street.
 This morning while feeding the hens she put some of the corn in her mouth, swallowing one kernel which stuck in her windpipe and could not be dis lodged.
 As she was not able to get air enough to enable her to breathe, she was hur- ried at once to the hospital and put on the operating table An incision was made in her throat below the larlnx and a tube inserted which allowed her to breathe. The kernel of corn was re- moved though this same orifice, The trachea or windpipe had to be cut in order to perform this operation.
 While the operation was in progress the little one suffered severely for the lack of oxygen, but when the tube had been once inserted she got along all right. The tube will be removed late this afternoon, and the severed portions of the windpipe are expected to reunite in few days so that she will soon be as well as ever.-Bridgep5r Standard.

DOUBLE HOGS MILF,

 Idea that It Indicates the Weather.
 Loren Flood, butcher who has prob ably "tripped up" more pigs than any other man in the town, comes to the front with double hogls milt or spleen which was taken from hog butchered for Selectman F. H Durham. Once ior twice before Mir Flood has found a similar thing, but none as large as this one. The Hartford "Courant' corre- spondent was being shown the peculiar freak at the time the young blizzard began Thursday and when MT. Flood was asked whether he planted any de- pendence on the hogs milt as some weather prophets do, replied that in his opinion it didn't amount to much.
 He, however ventured to say concern ing the weather that the three days fol- lowing the 20th of the month would be fair samples of what we may expect of the following three months, December, January and February. His brother, Richard, known as Dick Flood, was in his day a prophet and this was the rule he followed.
