A Funny Story.

A report is going the rounds to
the effect that Congressman Frank
A. McLain, of Gloster, intends to
resign before the Sixtieth Congress
gets together. and that he will re-
sign in favor Of ]. B. Webb, dis
trict attorney of the Sixth Judicial
district.
It is hardly probable that there
is a grain of truth in this report. as
Congressman McLain made strong
run for the Office last year and won
out in a walk. His race was for
the Sixtieth Congress. which means
two years more for the gentleman
from GJoster and the term does moi
begin until December of this year
AS for resigning in favor of any
one, it is only necessary to say that
the unexpired term of Congress
man must be filled by a special
election .-Natchez Democrat.

PAVILION AT HERMANvILLE.
Martin MagnanImousIy With
draws In Favor of Her
Sister City.

The location of the county pavil-
ion. which has been a mooted ques-
ton of late and which was the
cause Of a lively contest before
the school board Monday, was fn-
ally settled by the citizens OF Mar
tin quietly Withdrawing in favor Of
HermanviIle. Both towns were
offering considerable instucements,
but. the inaccessibility of Martin
for residents of the third district
put that town at disadvantage.
After surmounting this difficulty
the HermanvilIe folks went before
the board of supervisors, in session
at the time, and urged an addition
al appropriation of $3.50. The
board listened to the argument put
forth by the pavilion advocates and
then the matter wasdiscussed by the
members. When the vote was TAX
Ell. instead of being only one dissent
ing vote, as when the first appro-
priation was made, that were
two-Messrs. Regan and Young.
However, the $3.50 was promised
with the understanding that an a.
mount equal to the $1,000 appropri-
ated by the board of supervisors be
raised by private subscription.
We understand that, instead of
only SI7oo. as at first thought,
the pavilion will cost between $4,000
and $1,000. Nevertheless, the cit
izens of HermanvilIe are determin-
ed to build it, even if they have to
furnish the money and rely upon
the good will of the county to re-
imburse them.
