The other day o focal mcr-
chant happened to see q farmer
receiving some gooaa at the
depot and noticed that they
came from q Chicago mail order
house. lie noticed also the
goods were right in his iine ard
the same he had carried III his
store for years. lie immediately
approached the tarmnr and said;
II could have sold you every
article you have there for less
money than you paid the Chi
cago house and save you freight
beaideo "Tien why III the
devil didn't you say sa,' an
swered the farmer. II have
taken two county papers for d
year and / have never seen a line
about you selling these goods.
This mail order house sent me
advertising matter asking fol-
my trade and they GOT it. # you
have any bargains, why didn't
you have them put in the paper
so we can see where they ares''
They ended the argument and
the merchant went up to corral
other MERCHANTS who never ad
vertise and explain to them that
the mail order house was rnining
their business.-Ex.

morning, December 8rd, on the
NJ. & Q. passenger train, betacen
lScsoba and Waiiaak, a dsuhken
negro5 Tom Simpson, made 4
murderons assault on Conductor
8. II. Cooper, who &as in charge
Iof the train and who Was ell
deaveriug to 4ttict the negro,
Gutting him BADLY though not
fatally. NJ. Cooper shot at the
negro several times, woanding
him, but not disabling him, and
Simpson was put of the train.
Subsequently the negro had his
wounds dressed by a Wahalak
physician; Mi. Cooper's wounds
were afforded to by a doctor at
AShuqualak, and Monday evening
! he was taketa to Meridian.
Simpsons home was in the
heighborhood Of Wah4lak, and
it becoming known that he was
at home, Esquire NJ. Keafney, OF
this place, tclephoned Mr.. Jno.
OBfien, Of Wahalak, to organ
tzo Q posse and arrest the negro.
In u fearless effort to do this,
abeAt noon Oh the oath of De-
eenlbef, Mr.. O'Brien was shot
and instantly killed by Simpson,
who then made his escape.
On Christmas day, it being
frnlofed thai Simpson was lark
ing in the neighborllood of his
fathers home, q few miles north
of Scooba, Deputy Sheriff Geo.
NJ. Alekandef, who had come
over from DeKalb at the request
/ of some of our citi&ens, organ
lied 9 posse and sailed forth to
! hunt him down. This posse, as
is usual in such cases and par
ticually at this particular season,
was accompanied BY a number
of young men considerably un-
| der the influence of whiskey.
No trace of Simpson could be
found, but owing to the fact that
the drunken contingent was
largely in the minority as to
numbers, npmerous depfedations
were committed, which Mr..
Alexander and the few sober, re-
sponsible parties who we're with
kim, f.ognd tbensselyes powerIess
TO ptavent.
WITH no ground Tor Iustltlca-
ton that we have been able to
learn, Calvin Nicholson [colored)
was shot 20 death and his house
burned over his dead body; Isam
Minniece, also coiorcd, was KILLED
and his house burned; the house
and barn of William Rupert,
another oolored man., were
burned, and several houses on
the land of MIR. jno. O'Brien
suffered the same fate. By this
time the blood thirsty and incen-
diary desires Of the mob appeared
to be stated, and they quit.
As to any other fatalities, it is
claimed that Conductor Cooper
had killed a brother of Tom
Simpson, ct the time of the as
sault upon him.
Owing to sensational reports

war was imminent, if not actu-

part Of this country, and yariuos

rushed to Scooba and Wahalak.
There is little doubt bat that the
boys enjoyed their jaunt, end
they found nothing to mar its
pleasantries.

Salt River Not A Myth.

Salt river, sacred to defeated can
didates, is no fable, but is real
stream, small in size. flowing from
the Kentucky high lands and empty
ing into the Ohio river. Before the
Civil War it was an important high
way of traffic for the fiat boats which
brought Kentucky whiskey down to
the steamers on the Ohio. 1t was as
crooked as could be imagined aud as
tortuous to navigate, and refractory
slaves were assigned to bringing the
boats down as punishment, and Salt
river became bugoboo among the
negroes. 1t was from the unpleasant
character of the work on this river
that "a trip up Salt river" came to be
used III politics to express the destin-
alton of defeated candidate.

Children are natural, but their cid

No man looks forward with joyful an
ticipation to the fame he will win if he
ever happens to be the oldest man in

Owing to the popularity of the Ted
