GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. November 2o.-Wheat sag
ged today as a result Of lull In buying
for export account. Diminishing of re-
ceipts northwest gave the market a
little strength at the outset. but the
effect failed to last. Reports from Ar
gentina as to the crop outlook were too
conflicting to have much influence.
After opening u off to 1saA up the
market suffered a moderate general
setback.
Continued cold weather made bearish
sentiment regarding corn more pro-
nounced. Notices of consignments were
fairly generous. The opening, which
varied from the same as last night
to u lower, was followed by an all
around decline.
Oats became weak in sympathy with
corn. Business. however, lacked vol
ume.
Higher prices for hogs steadied pro-
visions. Buyers and sellers were about
evenly divided in number,

By I. A. FLEMING.

New York stocks were strong on the
New street market. There were some
who considered that the action of the
exchange yesterday In deciding to re-
open for bond transactions. and then
reconsidering, all within a few hours,
might have a bearish effect on stock
values.
Both the general list Of high grade
rails and the Standard Oil issues were
held very firmly and some made ad-
vances.
ing of the reopening proposition was
the unpreparedness OF some of the
leading bond houses. they claiming that
sufficient notice of intent to open had
not been given.
AS a real matter of fact it Is within
the probabilities that the governors
Of the exchange were given to UNDER
stand that large amount of foreign
holdings of bonds awaited opening. and
with every prospect OF having weak
ening effect on market values.
But general sentiment is improving
daily, and II conditions continue to
make headway during the rest OF the
year it Is within the probabilities that
the resumption of bond trading. openly
will not be long delayed. The full and
unrestricted reopening for stocks and
hopeful, the general opinion among Sc
| curity interests is that something very
| much more encouraging from the war
zones than anything received up to
date will have to materia1ize before
| reopening is seriously considered.

Another Negro Murder.

Sunday morning negro nam.
ed Cap Greene residing six miles
south east of Maben, reported to
the authorities that negro NAM
ed Wash Brown was dead In the
house. DR.. A. L. Mason OF
Ma ben was called who In turn
asked DR.. Long to accompany
him. Both physicians after
making an examination came to
the conclusion that the negro
came to. his death by a blow on
the head with some blunt instru-
ment. An inquest was held and
the jury after working on the
case all day found that Cap
Greene was the instigator and
we're under the impression that
he committed che crime. When
DR.. Mason said that Brown was
murdered, Greene hatless and
coatless dashed from the house
and made his way to the woods
where he made good his escape.
Greene's wife and another negro
were arrested as accessories and
are now in Jail. The physicians
say that the negro had been,
since FRIDAY night. He came
into the community stranger
about month ago. On his per-
son was found deck of cards
and a small amount of money. 1t
is probable that negroes engag-
ed in crap game and during a
quarrel Brown received a frac-
ture of the skull which caused
his death.

Mr. G. N. Terry was d praCtic-

our lot with the people of Stark
vile. We formed a co-partner-
ship for the practice Of the law
and the firm was dissolved in
1876, when he entered the minis

for little more than 6 years and
it was pleasant association
He looks almost the same as
when here, we'll preserved and
he is along the line of 80 or 81
years. He is d good man. fer
the opportunity was such to
know HIM. He was a good law
yer and never sighted anything
that he undertook. He was a
fine civil engineer and the town
was re-surveyed by him after
the fire of 1875 He is a part OF
the history Of the town. He was
a member Of Morgan's Calvary
and settled IN this county east
of here in what Was known as

Mr. Terry is native of Ken

access to the Tally Sheet veriti
es the knowledge of the writer
concerning the votes that were
cast. In fact NO oody cared any
thing Or felt interested about
the vote of the writer except
himself and those who vOJed for
him and A Voter for a purpos
that did not concern others.
1t has been suggested that the
real proper and sensible thing
for the Starkville News to do
that has done so much effective
work for Bilbo and his followers,
withdraw and turn It's battery
with deadly results, blot them
off the face of the earth-annlhl
late them. But it is fixed. or
dalned and decreed bv the great
trial jury, the people of the
State of Mississippi, that Lt-Gov
Theo. G.. Bilbo shall be elected
the next governor of the great
Commonwealth of Mississippi.
There is one thing that you can
always tell what BilbO'te will
do, he will vote for Bllbo for
Governor next Summer; the,
will M arch under no other flag,
train to no other music or keep
step to to the tap of any other
drum than that of Theo. G Bilbo.
People are not supporting Bilho
simply because of the man, but
for the things he stands for and
speaks for on every stump
throughout the state.
Next year there may be new
and other political captains to
give orders to be passed up and
along the lines. A man might
be the hindmost man in special
election, but IN general cleo
ton like next year. he could be
the leading candidate. There
will be so many candidates to
look after their own interests,
that it is possible that the per-
formance of Coat-Tall-S wingers
may be observed every where.
The writer did all in his power
to be elected county attorney
angels could not have done any
more and he is grateful to his
friends who exercised their good
judgement.
The News would have every
voter to do what he would do,
vote. for the maE, of your choice,
Ilet others do as they may. To
fall short of this a man does
violence unto himself.
The writer had rather be a
door-keeper IN the house of the
Lord than to dwell in the tents
of the wicked.
