CHANCELLOR J.. @. ROBINS

Chancellor Robins, with the
present term of the Chancery
Court closes the four year term
to which he was appointed by
Governor Vardaman.
During the past four years
Chancellor Robins has given to
the people Of the district an ad-
ministration characterized by
impartial observance of the af-
fairs coming before him as
Chancellor of the First District
of the State.
A man of answering fidelity
to duty, of the strictest integ-
rity, he is wholly incapable of
being unduly influenced in the
administration of the law as he
sees it. Possessed of a, wide
range OF legal information, with
a mind trained by years of ex-
perience and practice to draw
d stinctions, he~is in every way
qualified for the important po-
sitien which he now holds.
l. AS Governor Noel will be
caNed;on to name his successor
on the first of January next. the
Journal voices the sentiments of
the bar of the District as we'll as
of the people generally when it
endorses him for re-appointment.
Governor Noel will no doubt
re-appoint Chancellor Robins
without opposition.

Quoted their fair, and it has not
only won for this end of the
state the name Of having good
stock, good products and good
attendance, but has had a ten
dency to cause many people to
take an interest in fairs. Many
expressed their willingness to
try and raise a better grade of
truck in the future. A fair is
the best educator for the farmer,
it has more to do with getting
him to raise a better grade of
stuff than all the agricultural
schools in existence. 1t brings
them together, and in itself is
the making Of family reunion.

the fair the whole four days, and
it is safe to say that Baldmyn
will turn out in full to our COM

THE FAIR.


The North east Mississippi
Fair held at Baldwin last week
was a success throughout the en-
tire four days. The crowds were
good from start to finish and
during the whole time it is esti-
mated that over Is, 900 people
passed through the gates. On
the last day 5000 tickets were
sold.
Many exhibits were on display
including a number of very vaiu-
able and old specimens. The
poultry exhibit, while not large,
was good. The live stock was
good as was the farming pro-
ducts. The corn on exhibit goes
to Show that Mississippi can
hold her own with any state in
the Union along this line. All
products on display were sound
and well developed.
Probably one of the most int
eresting exhibits on display was
a number Of old Civil War relics
gathered from various places and
held by Mississippi gentlemen.
A prize was offered for the best
relic in this class and was award
ed to the photograph of an old
tree that was cut down by minnie
balls at Spotslyvania. The tree
was % inches in diameter and
was cut off five or six feet from
the ground. Antold soldier told
the Journal correspondent that
while he was not close to the tree
whenit fell, he went there short
ly after the battle. Another in
teresting article wasa an original
muster poolf in the hands Of; Col.
Street, of Bonneville. Among
the names appearing on the roll
are the following gentlemen,
some of whom are alive today
and are natives of this state, the
company being formed at what
was known then as Lebanon
Church, eight miles west Of
Baldwin. Following are the
names of the officers: ]. H.
Kennedy, Captain; w. R Mel
son, 1st Lieutenant; AID. Sadler
End; ]. M. Chisolm. 3fd; S. O..
Stevenson, 1st Orderly Sergt /;

3rd; John j. Wallace 4th; R. P.
Shaw, 1st Corporal; j. G. w
Brown, End; j. w. Ford, 3rd;
J. S. Bullock, 4th.
The company numbered seventy
in all, ard many of them are
we'll known by the old citizens
Of Tupelo.
THE RACES.
During the entire fair the peo-
pie were afforded the pleasure OF
witnessing some Of the best
races ever put on a southern
track, and the time made was as
good as any.
According to a statement Civ
en- to the Journal correspondent
by the Secretary, the worlds
record was closely shaved. The

II was not long after the Knapp
episode before thteving on pretty
large scale began again in Erie. This
time it was burglary instead of sneak
work, as was demonstrated by the
marks OF jfmmies on doors and win:
dows, and the disappearance of guam
titles Of fine silverware and jewelry.
Chief Crawley was at first of the
opinion that Knapp. who had escaped
frem the asylum in the meantime, was
operating again, but Murray did not
share. this opinion, knowing that
Knapp, who prided himself upon his
unique methods, would consider bur-
glary a clumsy way of stealing.
After the third robbery it became
evident that no lone burglar was at
work. Obviously there was a gang en-
gagged in the depredations, for some
OF the jobs required the services Of
a watcher or lookout on the outside.

Maggie Carroll, were sent to the AL.
leghany penitentiary for four years
and Mary Ann was released.
Curious as to the exact events Of
the night when he was trailing Mrs.
Hall, Murray asked that vivacious old
lady. for an explanation. He learned
that she and Mrs. Carroll were to
have broken into house together on
that occasion, and Mrs. Hall had ar
ranged to meet her confederate at two
in the morning. But Mrs. Carroll e.
