Charges Against "a Judge.

From the evidence thus far introdu
ced before that Investigating commit
tee, new in session at Hattiesburg,
looks very much like the charges made
against Judge Paul b. Johnson will
fan Dat and that gentleman be entirely
vIndicated. Judge Joi. ,son seems te
be backed by an overwhelming prepon-
derance of the bar Of bis circuit, the
ministers and church mem bers. Not
particle of evidence has been intro
dnced to show anything like wrong
doing on the part OF the Judge. His
friends claim that the charges we're
made by blind tiger $, prostitutes, and
parties against whom he
has rendered decisions. Col. Shar-
borough In reply to a direct question,
says the only thing the matter with
Judge johnson was III health. Judge
Deavours testified that while Judge
Judge Johnson had bit him hard In
his rulings. he considered him honor
able, just and upright. Unless new
evidence is brought to light, Judge
Johnson will immerge from that in
vestig alton thoroughly indicated and
with flying colors.

Don't fail to read the new advertise

have grocery merchants from the big
towns everlastingly skinned when it
comes to low prices. Think Of their
giving % pounds Of Y G sugar, or 20
pounds of the best Granulated sugar
for one dollar. They have likewise
cut the price OF everything in the gro
Gerry line. Come to Ellisyille when
you want cheap AID hrst-class, full

our merchants will not be undersold.
They are determined to control the
trade if low prices, clever treatment

a salory of $3.50 per month, and with
u devoted wife and baby. But be be-

Cheap Land.

In discussing Jones co unity land in
past years, Postmaster Collins re-
marked yesterday that while vet in
the prime OF life, he reg mbers
seeing one thousand acresJf heavily
timbered land traded TO- a horse
worth about si25, and tue party told
the man he traded WITH to go over
the books and pick out his thousand
acre tract anywhere he wanted. Mr..
Collins says he knew of another good
farm In this county that was snapped
even for fiddle. He has often seen
bodies of land cold at public out
cry for the amount due for taxes, and
taxes we're but nominal in those days.
