J. 7. LEAK MAY
ENTER THE RACE
IN THE TENTH
SPECIAL ELECTION NECESSARY
HAS BROUGHT OUT A NUM-
BE7 OF CANDIDATES.
ELECTION NOT YET CALLED
District Has Been Represented by a
Democrat Since the Early Eighties,
When VIM. r. Moore Was Elected
by the Republicans.

j. T. Leake, who has been State
agent for the Wheeler and Wilson
Sewing Machine Company for Ken
lucky and Tennessee during the past
more than twenty years, and who
has perhaps as broad an acquaintance
both personal and political as any
man in either State, and who has a
large number of friends here in this
section of the State, was here yester-
day. In discussing the situation in
Memphis, where he lives, Mr.. Leak
said that he was seriously
thinging of entering the race
for Congress in the Tenth,
and would arrive at a definite conclu-
sion the early part of next week when
he would be at home.
Should he finally decide to enter
the contest it would add considerably
to an already interesting situation.
y
ability, a good business man and
clean in his habits. He is allied with
the Independent element of the Dem
ocratic party, well posted on all pub
lie questions and is man of liberali-
ty though of pronounced views on
matters concerning the general pub
lie.
He voted for Alton B. arker for
President and thinks him a great
man, and that he should be on the
Supreme Bench. He voted for Nc
Kinley against Bryan, favors low
tariff and limited income tax, and is
not afraid to speak out on a question
which he might be called to pass on
in the capacity of a member of Con
gress.
There is probability that the spec
ial election will be called at an early
date and should this be done there
will be politics a plenty down on the
Mississippi, as the bees have peen
buzzing in number of bonnets dur
ing the past few days.
Among those who have already an
nounced are Stanley H. Trezeyant, a
member of the present legislature; K.
D, Mcclellan, ]. ". Apperson and T.
&c. Looney, all regular Democrats, and
Thos. Phelan, Republican, Should
Mr.. Leak decide to enter he will be
the only independent in the race, and
his friends in all sections would be
glad to see him win.

BABY IN BASKET
IS FOUND ON FRONT
PORCH OF TOLL GATE
BEAUTIFUL LITTLE STRANGER
LODGED AT HOME OF MRS
TOM BEARD.
NO Clue To THE PARtk1AGi
Only About Ten or Twelve Hours Of
Age When Found in Basket of Cot
ton Before Breakfast-Would Make
Some Home in County Happy.

When Mrs. Tom Beard, who lives
at the toll gate at Cross Bridges
walked out on her front porch at an
early hour this morning she was
greeted by a present that caused her
to open wide her eyes in amazement
There daintily tucked into a little
white basket, lay sleeping beautiful
little red headed girl baby. The
child seemed to be about ten or
twelve hours of age and there was no
sign to indicate from whence or where
it had come.
The infant had been left on the
porch at some time during the night,
although at what hour probably will
never be known. When the basket
was tenderly lifted into the mouse
and the baby taken into the
motherly arms of Mrs Beard the
little one opened her eyes revealing
two of about the prettiest blue orbs
that reflect the azure Of the skies.
The child just as contentedly snug.
gled in the arms of Mrs. Beard as
though it's place had been there all
the time.
So far as any one knows, without
the pride of ancestry" this little wait
Is pronounced by all who have seen
her as one of the most beautiful ba.
bies they ever beheld. With beauti
fully tinted complexion that gives ev.
cry promise in the years to come OF
being the peach and cream variety
about which women rave and men
lose their heads, with deep blue eyes

the usual wealth OF hair for one Of
her tender hours, with a perfectly
formed body indicative OF robustness
of health, the little one is the object
of admiring eyes by all who behold
her. And she has that sweet sub
missiveness and gentle resignation
that are not always characteristic OF
those of her sex. She does not cry,
but accepted the loving and tender
ministrations of Mrs. Beard as a mat
ter Of course and therein she reveals
the true feminity of her nature.
Now Mr.. and Mrs. Beard are sew.
enty years of age. Lies span has
almost been crossed with them. They
are not equal to the task of caring for
little ones although they already feel
marked attachment for the stran.
ger But there are families in the
county to whom baby, a sweet little
companion would be a source of real
JOY and no doubt when this paper is
read the problem of finding a suita,
BILE home for the beautiful little out
cast will be reduced to a choice be
tween applicants.
There is no clue whatever to the
parentage of the little child. She was
clad only in a little white slip, which,
however, was of good material, and
seemed to be nicely made. The child
evidently did not tarry long with its
mother after birth.
