When Poet Meets Poet.

A North Missouri farmer, whose
hog was killed by a train, wrote to
the company's claim agent for set
tlement, says a writer in the Co.
lumbia Statesman. He penned his
communication thus:
Dear Sir-My razorback strolled
down your track a week ago to-
day Your twenty-nine came down
the line and sunffed his life away.
You can't blame me. The hog
you see, slipped thru a cattle gate
so kindly pen a check for ten, the
debt to liquidate.
He received the following reply
Old twenty-nine came down the
line and killed your hog, we know
but razorbacks on railroad tracks
quite often meet with woe. There.
fore, my friend, we cannot send the
check for which you pine. Just
plant the dead, place DER his head

The Story Of a Fly.

Says the Memphis News Scimi'
tar:
"A fly crawled out from behind
a picture rail in a room in a Mem
phis home yesterday and lazily
started down the wall.
The man Of the house had just
finished his, newspaper and was.
blowing rings of smoke from his
cigar He caught sight of the fly
slowly descending and in moment
assumed an attitude OF alertness.
1nstinctively he rolled his news
papers into a club, Down came
the fly. Up rose the man. Two
steps across the room, an upraTsed
arm and swat! The man
of the house had smashed the
insect and incidentally become a
public benefactor With a single
blow he had cut short the next sum-
mer's tiycrop over s. 10000, ,o00,"
Figures read large and sound
larger. don't they, They are true,
nevertheless, and it behooves every
man, woman and child to swat the
fly when the',iy first makes its ap-
pearance.
See that you make provisions for
screening you. home, especially
the kitchen and dining room, so
that the fly will not get into the
things you have before, you to cook
with or the things you have on
your table to be eatenby the family

Profanity.

Any one who travels OF who has
occasion to stop al hotels or be
much upon the streets will hardly
have failed to notice the prevalence
of the swearing habit. He will be
appalled, by>what he hears If he is
free from the habit himself. Not
only is the letter of the third oom-
+1nandment broken with a fragrant
disregard for nll proprieties and re-

NO. IS
Negro Killed.

A negro named Abe Coleman was
killed by a party of eight men in
the neighborhood between Double
Springs and Self Creek on Tuesday
morning, and the facts in the case,
as near as the Times can ascertain,
are about as follows:
The negro was sent by his en-
ployer on an errand to the house of
a Mr.. Grantam. When he arrived
at the place there were only two
women at home, Mrs. Grantam
and another woman. They became
frightened at the negro's actions,
which they regarded as suspicious,
and one of the women opened fire
on him with a revolver. After
wards a party composed of about
eight men of the neighborhood
found the negro and shot him to
death
Sheriff Mic kel S Immediately
caused a jury to be summoned and
an inquest held. The jury returned
a verdict to the effect that the ne
gro came to his death from pistol
wounds inflicted by the eight men
mentioned, naming all who partici-
pated.
