Health good except Mrs. F. S.
King who is quite sick with little
prospect of recovery. DR.. White
hurst, of Iuka, was here yester-
day with the intention of perform
ing an operation, but thought
best not to at present.
Messrs. ]. E. Timbes, Tom
Brooks, Lester Timbes and FL
more Holder went to Shiloh
battlefield to see the wreck at

| Mr.. J. M. Woodruff went down
to near Burtons to visit his mother
Sunday, who was very low with
slow fever. Since this was written
we learn that she died Sunday
afternoon.
Business is fairly good; good
deal of cotton in town, which has

There is movement on foot to
create a drainage district to dry
out the wet land near this place.
A petition to this effect, will be
circulated very soon. Nothing
would be more beneficial to this
section than the successful. drain
ing of this swamp land.

A Natural Consequence.

The Commercial Appeal COM
plains of the great number of
young hoodluins in that city, who
seek every opportunity to do mali
cious mischief and are rapidly
developing into real criminals.
How could anything better be ex-
pected in a city like Memphis
where the leading newspaper
openly sympathises with violations
of law, The Commercial Appeal,
many prominent people and all
the tough element of Memphis
have combined, it seems, to set at
naught the prohibition law of the
state, because, forsooth, it does
not exactly represent their ideas
because they want liquor. 1t is a
natural consequence that boys
who see the law violated daily
should have contempt for law.
When law is spit upon, be draggl-
ed and kicked out of doors by
people who claim respectability
and decency no wonder that the
growing generation think they are
licensed to do likewise.
