The hordes of web-footed parcel

ling of unclassified and mysteriously
unemployed males, are one year de-

and fremen. The next season the
style changes TO songs entirely con-
eerned with somebody's unfortunate
erring sister. and during the next sea

Residence Burned

On Monday night the residence
of William II. Long, two miles
Northeast Of shannon was totally
destroyed by fire. The family
had retired and but for the fact
that a passer-5y saw the flames
and awakened them the family
would no doubt have lost their
lives in the flames. The kitchen
and dining room had been con-
sumed when the party passing
aroused the family and got them
out of the house.
The flames spread so rapidly
that it was impossible to save
the household goods and all the
furniture and clothing were des-
troyed. The chicken house was
also burned with every fowl in it.
The loss is complete one.

Suit Filed Against Frisco.

Suit was filed Tuesday by
Messrs. Mitchell & Clayton, at
torneys for R. G Haughton
against the Frisco Railroad Com
pany for the sum of $25, 100000
The plaintiff sets forth in his
declaration that he was an en-
ployee of said Railroad Co. as
flagman and that the superinten-
dent under whom he worked be-
came greatly angered and abused
and insulted him and afterwards S
discharging him. After waiting
several days at Amory for his
pay, he applied to the train dis
patcher for a pass to Memphis
for the purpose Of securing his
clothing which he states were in
a caboose in that city. The
declaration states that he in
formed the train dispatcher that
he had been discharged from the
service of the Company. The
declaration further alleges that
when the superintendent found
out that the pass had been is
sued, he issued a wire bulletin
instructing the conductor to not
honor the pass, stating in the
bulletin that it had been obtained
by false pretense.
The plaintiff charges that his
character has been DETAINED and
that he has been greatly hu-
inflated by the conduct of the
road and demands judgment in
the sum of twenty-five thousand
dollars. This is the first suit of
its kind in our court and its
course will be watched with
interest.

Burglaries

The stores of c. H. Clifton,
Topp & Brown and Phillips &
Jackson were entered by thieves
Monday night and the cash
drawers were robbed of their
contents. In the store of Mr..
Clifton the cash register was
entered and several dollars
taken, At Topp & Browns a
small amount of change was
taken from the cash drawer and
if other items were taken they
could not be missed.
Here the thieves or thief, took
time to eat some honey but with
this exception nothing else was
disturbed,
At Phillips & Jackson's the
losses were also small, about
500 being taken.
The identity of the party or
parties is unknown, but the
officers are at work on the case
and will no doubt locate the
guilty party. Several similar
thefts have been made and it is
time the guilty were run to
cover.
