Greenwood Reunion.

The Greenwood Reunion which
took place Oct. z and 8, was to
the veterans a success. Left
West Point on the morning Of
October 6, traversing a country
had travelled in 1865. Towns
and villages have taken the pIa
ces Of scattered farm houses.
From West Point veterans began
getting on train. On arrival at
Greenwood had quite a crowd.
Word had passed out from
/ Greenwood that they had moth
ing for sale to veterans, which
was literally true. Over 700 vet
Grams were most Hospitality en-
tertained. Greenwood is a beau
tiful little city. its architecture
appropriately Southern, and not
copies of Northern homes. Their
courthouse is far superior to ours
in every respect. Their public
school building compares favora-
bly, with those of large cities.
School is under superintendency
of Prof. Saunders, formerly head
Iof school at Tupelo. Has be-
tween 400 and 500 pupils. fell
in love with two of the lady
teachers. The crops from West
Point to Greenwood as seen from
the train seemed good. While
at Greenwood, made two trips
to Itta Bena, s or 10 miles west
across Yazoo river. The lands
lay beautifully, seem sufficiently
undulatlng to have natural drain
age. Cotton seems to be no bet
ter than on our bottoms. Not
much corn to be seen. A very
large crowd was present at the
reception given by the ladies of
Greenwood. The ladies in ev-
cry respect seemed equal to those

St. Charles, and Governors man
I.sions, Richmond and Birming-
ham reunions. Among the vet
Grams were men who had held
high official positions in this
state. They directed affairs of
the veterans. Gen. Catchings
brought a beautiful message
from Vicksburg inviting us there
next year. Veterans in their
adieus to each other, in many in
stances exhorted each other, IF
they could not come to Vicks-
burg, to meet where all tears
should be wiped away.

INDIANA COUNTED LOST.

Well, if you get an honest
avowal for publication from the
republican managers in that
state it probably would be that
Indiana is already in the discard;
that as indications now point the
state is framed up to go demo
ratio on the state ticket and that
Taft will have to fight, and fight
hard, for the electoral vote.
There is Illinois; the state torn
with local factional troubles, the
labor vote in doubt, the negro
vote vacillating, apathy ruling
among farmers and business men
and a general state Of dissatisfac-
ton, had to particularize, but
regarded as inimical to republi-
can prospects at this time, mind
you. There is Ohio. Well, about
Ohio, one republican of promin-
ence in the state said to me to-

lowing:

that the e is an added Gray1ass,

Sc 3ntry into the camaign with

the j,b at last. much to the re-
lief Of the waiting republicans,
who have chafed under The en-
forced restraint Of d campaign
which up to this time has shown
none of the force and fire which
Mr.. Bryan has infused into his
efforts.
DRIFT TOWARD DEMOCRACY.
But, to leave this idle figure of
speech and get down to facts, it
is not to be denied that the re-
publicans are in very anxious
state Of mind at this time.
Things have not been coming
way in the past two weeks, not
by a long shot, and they can not
help but realize it. Ugly s.tua-
tions in a number of states are
confronting the republicans, aud
the present drift of affairs seems
to be against them
This is not to say that they are
in a panic, or that sort Of thing.
It's not to predict what may be
the condition when the voters 20
to the polls November 3, nor even
to forecast the state of feeling
which may exist two weeks
hence, when Taft and Hughes
have stirred the west. 1t is the
purpose Of these dispatches to de-
Scribe the conditions as they exist
! for the time, { cal. 3 cards a5
they fall, and not TO foreslaIl the
cash-In.
The fact remains that reDubli-
can reports OF actual conditions
in several states which ought to
be regarded as safely republican
Indicate that the republicans will
have to maze q fight, aud a
mighty competent, strenuous and
skillfuI fight, before tney can
claim the states, unless they
would be like the man who cheats
himself in playing solitaire.
Here in Chicago you get hold Of
the strings which lead into a
number Of these middle west
states, and as a spider in the
center Of the webb, feel the vi
brations from the oQtermost
rings.
The buzzing does not sound
good to the republicans.

GUARANTEE GOES
WITH BANK PApEF
Supreme Court Holds Bank,
Must Guarantee the Paper
Sold to Other Banks.

Des Moines. Ia. April lO.-ln IL sui
against the Corning Savings bank
which became defunct some years age
through the forgery of its president
I.arue, the Iowa National Bank of De-:
Moines today won in decision before
the supreme court in a suit of vast inn
portance in which it is held that the
several banks be held liable for the
commercial paper which they sell to
other banks. In the district court OF
Adams county the reverse was held.
The supreme court reverses this. The
bank. through its president, Larue,
sold paper to the Iowa National of Des
Moines and some of this was later dis
closed to have been forged. The stat
.utes gave savings banks authority to
buy and sell commercial paper. but an
other Statute provides that they can
incur no liabilities other than to their
depositors. The receiver for the bank
rontended that the bank could not be
held liable under this latter section.
Tho supreme court holds that the two
sections are parts OF the same chap
ter and are to be Interpreted together.
and that bank could not buy and
sell without mourning the liability.
Had the court sustained the Adams
county district court the big banks
would have been prevented from furth-
CT buying commercial paper from saw
ings banks.

hlred man, however. was up first and
when he scooped up peck measure
OF oats FOR the COW he also scooped up
the watch.
Heskel first thought of robbery when
he was unable to find his timepiece In

Two Hearn Stories.


'l-afcadio Hearn. that wonderful
writer. worked on newspapers in his
youth" said publisher. and the ruth
less way his studies We're changed, cut
and butchered, was great woe to his
heart.
In after years Hearn took ma
licious joy in collecting stories about
authorizations and their superior and
omniscient way with manuscript
One of his stories was of an editor
to whom subscriber said:
L enjoyed that poem on the three
ages of man in today's paper. Mr.
sSheers; l enjoyed it immensely Do you
know, though, I thought it was orig
inally written the seven ages of man.
j" SO 1t was, sir; so it was said Ed
itor Sheers. pompously. Yes, the ex-
tract was originally written the seven
ages OF man. but had to cut it down
for the lack OF space.
Another story concerned a weather
report. n reporter. discussing the
weather. wrote that winter still ling
cred in the lap of spring.
The editor. as he read over the ar
ticle, called the reporter to his desk
and told him that me would cut out
that sentence about winter lingering
in springs lap. He said the idea was
good enough. and all that sort of thing,
but 1t would not do to publish be-
cause the high moral tone of the paper
had TO be maintained in a town full OF
school girls"
