What In tunket are you talkin' about,

peration. Sounds like plumb nonsense
to me-
TT is" said Uncle Ashdod. IT'S the
story OF how 1 come to be impeached
Can't expect no common landsman to
understand about an impeachment. But
that crew understood about II. There
was two Of them crewmen that hadn't
ever murdered anyhow"
only two?' asked Sim Perkins.
mo, We hadn't none Of US murdered
anybody" said Uncle Ashdod. But
them particular two hadn't murdered a
lot more men than We hadn't murdered. I
hadn't murdered one man. and the first
mate hadn't murdered two men, but
them two crewmen hadn't murdered over
thousand men apiece. So the crew
picked out them two to impeach me.
They impeached me for sixty-two rea-
sons. Some Of them reasons was
Namely, because my grandmother never
fought in the Revolutionary war name
ly, because there wasn't plums enough
faced baboon can walk the equator;
namely, peanuts amt cherries: namely.
nobody amt been impeached on this
here ship for a long while; namely, and

it looked bad for me. There's a lot of

tinued Uncle Ashdod. The bosun was

he testified to everything that ever
happened in my past, present. and fu-
ture. He testified out of leaves in a
teacup, and out of the zodiac. and out

a fust-class testifier. Sophira was

Miss Kate Hall as assistant. Miss Hall

Grenada was selected as the next

kindly and courteously invited the con-

The convention adjourned at p. m.

their homes, but vast majority of the
delegates scattered out among the hos

going on their route.

woman. She had been a sufferer for a

victim to that dreaded malady; but in
the face of the inevitable she showed
that sweet resignation which can only

The board of superyiors of Grenada

nish all medicine needed to those who
desire to resume the work, provided
there would be no further expense to
the county. The board also agreed TO
pass any laws as will be necessary for

sorrow, the dear child is surrounded
with all that a beneficent and loving
God can provide in heaven and there
are smiles and contentment on his brow,

Crop Conditions.

The crop conditions of Grenada county
are far from satisfactory. Besides the
boil weevil which is assiduously at
work on the cotton, the weather has
been too dry and as result the cotton
has not grown as rapidly as it should
and is exceedingly small for the time
Of year. Corn is suffering very much
for rain and many assert that old corn
is almost ruined. 1t is to be hoped that
the situation is not so bad as it now ap-
pears, but the outlook is by no means
reassuring.
