New, from Days.

December, cradle of the winter sol.
stice and death-bed of the year, has
been ushered in. Robed for much OF
the world in the fantastic ermine OF
the Frost King, it comes cold and
blustery, on the wings of the desolate
season, mantling i'll white city and
field and forest, sealing lake and stream
December, mostly, is q season of sad
ness ssThe cheerless aspect of world
bereft of the happy singing wild bird
and the comforting colors of nature
leaves a melancholy difficult to shake
off. But with all it's sombreness, early
December is the harbinger of the
most gladstone and devout period Of
the Christmastide, the season
OF love and graciousness, when hui
fnanity presents it's tenderest and
most brotherly side.

Prisoners Escape From Jail.

Alex Polk, alias Nose Adams, un-
der sentence to hang on the 7th of
next January, and Ben Jones Holmes,
charged with murder, escaped from
the county jail here Tuesday night
shortly after seven O'Clock. From
the manner of their escape it was
evident that it had been planned for
several days, and according to the
statements Of other prisoners they
had decided upon murder, if necessary,
in order to escape.
The two prisoners had been allowed
the freedom of the corridor, and with
the aid of an old pocket knife they
cut through one Of the vertical win
dow bars. They then pulled out two
bars running horizontally across the
window, which they intended to use
as weapons when the time came to
lock them up for the night unless
they escaped before.
Holmes first crawled through the
opening and reached the ground Oh
the southwest side within the palisade.
In his descent he broke q window to
one of the lower cells and the noise
was heard by Mrs. Entriken, who
gave the alarm. Mr.. Entriken and
his male boarders grabbed some fire.
arms and rushed out, but the fleet
footed fugitives had cleared the pali-
sade and were OFT of sight, aided by
the darkness.
Polk was wriggling through the win
dow up stairs when Brooks Entriken
and Bob Tally reached the top of the
stairs to lock them up, one of the
other prisoners tried to tell them what
was happening, but he was SO excited
he did not make them understand un
til Polk had landed on the ground.
tits something Of mystery how
they managed to get the palisade
so quickly unless they were aided from
the outside.
Polk escaped in his underclothing,
finding it necessary to leave part of
his attire in order to get through the
window. His shoes and one sock were
also left behind.
An attempt was made to trail them,
but the dogs could not pick up the
scent.
Alex Polk is desperate character
and viii no doubt attempt to sell his
freedom dearly. Areward of $500 has
been offered for his capture.
On another page we give good
description of him.

Olive Branch Bulletin.
BY Mrs. P. z. JOKES.

The weather we have had the past
week was real winter, but was very
acceptable to those of us who killed
hogs.
don't think many little railroad
towns could boast of as many big
hogs killed within their corporation
as Olive Branch. Several went over
the 400 pound mark, and che majority
averaged 800 pounds. But Olive
Branch has retired farmers within her
limits, and they never do things ''by

Mr.. Galley Robertson Dead.

Last Friday morning news reached
this place that Mr.. Caffey Robertson
had died in Jackson, where he had
been undergoing medical treatment.
His death had been feared for some
time, as his health had given away
completely.
Mr.. Robertson had long been a
prominent citizen of fernando and
for many years was member of the
firm of Banks & 90. About two years
ago his health failed and his with
drawal from business followed. Rest
and change failed to benefit him and
he grew steadily worse until the end.

great an offense the captain really
committed. 1t is said in the defense
of the captain that ne has long been
associated with the navy, and was
not known as a man who was at all
indulgent in the matter of drinking.
1t Is further alleged that it was not
drunkenness at all but that the cap
tain was slightly i'll and whatever
there was wrong in his appearance
was due to that fact rather then any
thing else. The court martial. how
ever, has spoken and the worthy sea
captain will travel on land for the
period of six months and it will take
him some time to get back the ten
points that were marked against-him,
particularly that he has been a long
time in the service and will not have
the opportunity to get them back

the offense OF Captain Q%ualtrough
Will not seem SO bad, and that the

The giving of a legacy appears diff
ferent to different men. President
Roosevelt was made the recipient of
a legacy of $4,000. but he declined
to accept it on the ground that he
had done nothing by which he was
entitled to receive it. The presidents
ideas on the subject are so we'll
known that 1t is wondered why the
individual thought he would accept
1t. There is a gentleman down in
Nebraska, who said some very I'M
kind things about the president dur
ing the recent campaign, who thinks
it is all right to get a piece of money
this way and even went into court to
preserve to his use $4,000 which an
had willed to him. The
gentleman was not successful in Sc
the money.
