NEW YORK, Oct 23-There were
many cross currents in the movement
of stock transactions today but none
Of them was very wide. The tone
was unsettled and confused in conse-
Quence. The dominant influence IN
determining the attitude OF the profes-
sional traders toward the market was
the action of the handful Of promi-
nent stocks which have been the
leaders of the market throughout the
summer. In these 1T was rather OBJ
:. GUS that the rice movement was
restrained by encountering orders OPP
posed to the movement before it had
run far. An advance in the price
attracted selling pressure. while any
recession brought in buying orders
suficient to check the decline. The
selling developed each time at about
the price where dealings yesterday
left of. The general news events OF
the day had, little reflection In the
stock market.

CAPTAIN FRANK JOHNSON.
A High Compliment Paid Him By
the ViCksburg American.

The American publishes else
where an extract from the Jack
son Daily News, containing ex-
presslons from several state pa
pers favorable to the candidacy
OF Captain Frank Johnston for
appointment to the position of
Supreme Court Judge, says the
Vicksburg American.
1t would be much more difficult
to suggest any reason why Capt.
Johnston should.not be appointed
to this office than to prepare a
list OF his qualifications. In fact
in professional attachments.
learning and personal character,
Captain Johnston is unexception-
able; and in saying this all is
said that is necessary to convey
the idea of unqualified approval
OF his appointment to this impor-
tant place should it be made. The
position of Supreme Court Judge
is too exalted to be occupied by
any but men most carefully chos-
en-, and the personnel of the
bench is SO important and inter-
estlng to the people of the whole
state that their wishes and well
fare should have especial weight
IN such an appointment. The
prestige and dignity of the state
at home and abroad also depends
IN a very considerable measure
upon its chief judiciary body; and
in this respect Mississippi has in
the past been exceptionally for
tunate. Possessing at all times
a notably strong bar, it's selec-
tons from that body for it's SUI
preme judges have given to
American Jurisprudence men
whose names and decisions are
honored and cited in every court
and law school in the land. No
mistake would be made in adding
the name of Captain Johnston to
the list Of those that have refec-
ted so much honor upon the state
OF Mississippi; and aside from
his emminent fitness for such a
position, his record as a soldier
and citizen, a public spirited and
patriotic originator and champion
of measures for the public good
is such that the people of the
state would without doubt feel
gratifed in comforting this honor
upon him as an expression of
their appreciation and confidence.

Star.

This hustling village is about
IA miles south of Brandon, on the
Gulf & Ship Island Railroad, and
situated on highland, surrounded
by a good farming section, with
quite a lot of timber near by.
There are several good mercan-
tile establishments which carry
large stocks of goods. a drug
store, a millinery store, 2 hotels,
a public gin, 2 saw mills in town,
and others close in, that make it
a good trading point.
Star intends to buy it's full
share of cotton this season and
it will keep up it's reputation of
being a splendid seed buying
place. The soil around there is
adapted to growing fruits and
melons, producing the very finest
favored, of large size. The i'm
mense quantities of rock close to
the top of the ground, said to be
of the best quality for building
purposes, will no doubt be quar-
ried at an early day, making an
other source of income to both
owners and Workmen.
With all her natural advanta-
ges, backed by intelligent devel-
opment of her resources Star has
reason to have faith in her future
and invites others to come in and
share the prosperity that she GER
tainly will enjoy.

Could not Accept Until
Resignation was

Mr.. Ed. Ohleyer has been cleo
ted and accepted the position Of
manager of the Gibson Grocery
Company, which was made va
can't by the death of Mr.. w. w.
Robinson,
The choice has been made by
the company several days, but it
was uncertain whether Mr.. Oh
leyer could accept the position,
as he was, at that time, cashier
of a bank at Brandon.
The matter was finally settled
yesterday, however; and the new
manager of the Gibson Grocery
Company will take charge of the
business on the 18th of this month
We understand that Mr.. Oh
leyer is thoroughly familiar with
the grocery business, having
been engaged in that business all
his life, up to two years ago, and
being a practical business man in
every respect, he is well-fitted
for the position to which he has
just been elected. Being a young
man also, he will no doubt add
new vigor to the business of the
concern.
