THE INSURANCE CASES.

In the insurance cases heard
on the pleadings during Chan
Gerry Court, Chancel lor Robins
rendered a decision in which he
eliminated all surplusage contain
ed in the original bill and sus-
tanned such demurrers as prayed
for this elimination.
The gist Of the bill was found
in paragraph 6 which charged
the Companies with forming an
illegal combination for the pur-
pose of maintaining insurance
rates in this state, thereby de-
priving the people of competition
in the insurance business.
The compliments were given
leave to amend their bill and the
defendants time in which. to
plead to the amended bill.
The case was a hardly fought
one on both sides, eminent coun-
sci appearing both for the State
and the defendants. The course
of this case will be followed with
much interest everywhere as the
points involved are of general
interest to the public.

THE FAIR a

The result of the past tire
days would convince the mos
skeptical that Tupelo affords
location for a first class 1aii
The management is to be con
graduated on their splendid effor
made in the Inauguration OF
fair at which the people of Thu
section can come together ant
vie with each other in friend!
rivalry, and exhibit the product'
of their farm and the handiworl
of all.
The management is also to be
commended for their untirine
energy in looking after every
detail which goes to makea sue
cess of the fair from the begin
ming.
While it was impossible to com.
plete every arrangement and pre-.
vide everything necessary, yet,
from a general sense, every de.
mand was met. The manage.
ment were disappointed in not
getting the exhibit hall construct
ed but it was no fault of theirs
that this was not accomplished.
A tent was provided and the ex-
hibits were well arranged and
presented a first rate showing.
Considering the fact that the
year was a bad one, the number
and quality OF the entries from
the farm were good.
The races were splendid and
was one of the most enjoyable
features of the afternoon of the
three days.
A good beginning has been made
and with an early start another
year our fair will be as good as
can be found in much larger
cities. The people Of Pontotoc,
Lee and Itawamba counties
should now get together and
with a combined effort the Tri--
County Fair will be a success
from every standpoint.

Wit of Great SURGEON.

OF Abernethy's wit numerous tales
are told. A lady consulted him about
a ailment and described he,
symptoms at wearisome length. He
referred her to his book" but she
persisted in her efforts to get furthe,
information from him. May | eai
oysters, doctors? May | take supper?'
Her questions rapidly followed one an
other, I'll tell you what, madam;
you may eat anything but the poker
and the bellows, for the one is toe
hard to digest and the other full O.

inquired as to a cure for govt. Live
