DiSLlKEs INNOVATIONS.

Sir Frederick Treves, the distinguish
ed British surgeon, In his book ssUgan-
da For Holiday" has word or two
to say about the rhinoceros.
'"The rhinoceros is the embodiment
Of blind conservatism . he writes. ats
hide is impenetrable, its vision is weak,
while its intellect is weaker. It has,
however, two marked qualities COM
battveness and sense of smell. It is
aroused to its maximum energy by the
presence Of anything that is new. This
object need not be thing that is ag-
gressive or inconvenient Its offensive
ness depends upon the fact that it is
unfamiliar, and the more unfamiliar
the object is the worse the rhinoceros
acts.
when rhinoceros smells a man he
will charge him with maniacal VIC
lence, although the man may be mere

The massive beast will dash at him
like torpedo or runaway locomo-
tive simply because the smell Of him
Is novel. Actuated by this insane hate

the rhinoceros has charged an iron wa
ter tank on the outskirts of q camp

A Buggy Trip

Brookhaven, Miss, May ii. 1911.
Editor News
If you will allow me small space in
your paper. l will write you a bit of
history pertaining to our trip from
Glensfork, KY to Brookhaven, Miss.
The trip was made in a single buggy,
and there were my wife and myself and
our baggage. We started from Creels-
boro KY the 18th day of March, 1911,
and took boat passage to Nashville,
Tenn, and then we drove through,
making the trip in 10 days from Nash
Vile, a distance of 5O6 miles The
horse stood the trip real well, and so
did we. We had no trouble in finding
the way, and got lodging easily. We
saw lots of fine country, and some very
poor country. The southern people are
the most hospitable | ever met. We
staid over night several times and the
landlord would not want to charge US
cent, and would beg US to stay several
days with them, and would insist on US
stopping with them again should we
ever return that way.
Well will try to tell something of
my farm and crop up to the present.
have a boundary of land L miles on
two good roads of Brookhaven, Miss,
in Lincoln county. | have one field of
corn that is laid by, and is as fine as
ever saw. / have good crop of oats
that will be ready to cut in 10 days any
way. Have planted some cotton, and
mean to plant some more in few days.
l have $50 acres of land yet | have
sold off of my first purchase tracts.
like this country fine so far. Wish
| ing the News much success, | beg to be
numbered among your friends.

he HAD A CHECkERED CAREER.

News reached here Wednesday of
last week of the death of Mr.. D. B.
Dowell, familiarly called Dode Dowell,
near Sulphur Well, Metcalfe county.
He was found dead in bed. His life had
been stormy, ana he had engaged in
many serious difficulties. BY reputation
he was perhaps better known than any
other one man in this section, en-
bracing four or five counties. We are
informed that in all his business trans
actions he was strictly honorable, never
was known to refuse to accommodate a
friend. He was also very industrious
man, engaging in many different bust
nesses, but he classed himself as far.

Helm. The teacher in each room gave
nice book to the one who had done the
best work.
The tennis games closed the after
Moons entertainment, and We all went
home speaking in the highest terms of
the Columbia Graded School.
Wednesday evening a play, 1.-The
Deacon's Second Wife," was given by
the pupils of the High School The
chapel was crowded to overhowing, and
many people had to be turned away.
The pupils who took part in the play
certainly did credit to their school,
their parents and their home. On this
evening also, the school chorus render
ed two beautiful selections; Italia
and Killarney"
The graduating exercises of the Sth
grade, and their promotion to High
School were held Thursday morning at
10 o'clock. After tender prayer by
Rev. D. H. Howerton, Pastor of the
Baptist church. Mr.. Farris
sang 1.-The Garden of Sleep"
The class history was given by Ruth
PAUL, and her paper was indeed an ex-
ceilent one. The class poem was read
py Dora Eubank, and the class proph-
esy by Edgar Reed. After the old,
though ever beautiful song, ''Sing Me
to Sleep" sang by Miss Myers and
Mr.. Farris, we listened for thirty min
utes to one of the best addresses ever
given in Columbia. Rev j. r. Craw-
ford, pastor of the Presbyterian church,
was truly at his best on this occasion,
and his address on Character Build
ing" was excellent.
After the address Prof. Wilson pre-
sented the diplomas TO the C ass. Those
who received them were; Ruth PAUL,
Dora Eubank, Edgar Reed, Susan Mil
Ter, Dexter English, Tom Patteson. AL
bia Eubank, Grace Conover, Robt.
Summers, Ruth Ingram. Harry Allen,
Kate Jones, Martha Crawford, and
Bryan Garnett.
This closed the second successful year
of the Graded school, and We learn
that the average attendance was con-
siderably higher this year than last.
that the school closed with almost as
many pupils as it began with Q72)
Next year bids fair to be still better.
There will be about forty in the High
7 school, and all of the grades consider
ably increased.
The teachers of the present term,
5 who all gave universal satisfaction, will
return next year with the exception of
Mrs. Sanders, who goes to Port Gibson,
E Miss to take charge of school. We
regret to lose her, but rejoice in the
fact that we will have the others with
us again.

Narrow Escape.

Bob Turner. a brutal negro convict
serving term in the Frankfort peni-
tentiary, made an attack on Capt. E.
C. Page, this county, one day last
week. The negro concealed himself in
an alcove and as the Captain was pass
ing he leaped from his hiding and
struke the officer with an iron bar.
Capt. Page caught the blow on his left
arm, but severe cash was cut While
the negro was preparing to strick the
secono blow, the officer drew his pistol
and fired but missed his mark The
negro was finally captured and locked
up. Capt. Page, so the State Journa
says, is one of the most efficient guards
at the penitentiary, and his escape
from serious injury was remarkable.
