Senator Leroy Percy and Will Crump,

where he mingled with the vast crowd
who were present. He met many of
our people who were greatly pleased
both with the Senator and Mr.. Crump.
The Senator will return to Lee county
later and will deliver several speeches,
an announcement of which will be made
beforehand.
The Journal has found it very difficult
to get out a paper during the week,
and we acknowledge that it falls short
of its usual weekly edition In COM
mon parlapce. we 'sgot lost in the
shuttle" on account of lack of help. A
Georgia man who was on the Journal
force last winter anG, by the way, a
very competent printer, failed to show
up Saturday as he wired is he would
do. With the great demand for job
work, we haye been unable to do justice
to our local columns.
Quite a number who attended the
speaking at Pontotoc were greatly
pleased with the address of Senator
Percy on Monday before a large audi
ence of representative Pontotoc people.
| The crowd were enthusiastic and the
impression made upon them was deep
and lasting. We have heard the ex-
preston coming from a number who
heard Senator Percy that his presenta-
ton of the race question was the best
they had ever heard and was a true
version of the situation in regard to
the races.
One of the side features of the Tr.-
County Fair vas Kennedy's Wild West
Show which gave daily exhibits of
broncho riding and scenes of the wild
west, representing former days in that
section. An unfortunate incident in
connection with this feature was the
throwing of Harry Mcintyre from a
young mule by the saddle slipping for
ward which resulted in serious injuries
to the-rider. The management of tie
show offered 500. 90 in any last where
the cowboys could not ride an unruly
horse or mule. The young mule fell
with Mcintyre. throwing him over the
mules head and ran over him. At last
accounts, Mcintyre was suffering con-
siderably from his injuries. The mule
was later ridden by another cowboy.
