There has been more cotton ginned
here this fall than ever before since
there has been a ginnery established
here. This doesn't look 50 much
like hard times.
Last Saturday night our quiet and
peaceful little village experienced
quite little sensation when two of
the Texas rough-riders, so 20 speak
came in on the night train from
Jennings station and proceeded to
paint the town red as they termed
it. There was a show here that
night and they tried to put that ont
OF business. They cut several Of the
ropes and came very near causing
the tent 10 fall. Not satisfied with
this they cut several horses loose
some of which were htched 20 We.
hicles. They warned the place that
they were making their departure
by discharging their pistols several
times. After the show there was a
possee formed aul went in pursuit Of
the red painters and captured them
about foue miles from here at a
house where they had stopped 20
spend the remainder of the night.
They were brought in and promptly
landed in Jail IN Madison. about
eight O'Clock Sunday moraing. Tuis
may be a dear lesson but it is hoped
they viii profit by it.

school was all that could he expect
ed OF a teacher Of the old day and
the "skollsrs" one and all carried
of their parts with a dash and
sympathy which elected from the
immense audience screams Of
laughter and applause. The play
opened with a scene OF the "skol-

benches. Class recitations foil ,wad
