For forty-seven years we have been conducting business at the same old location, corner of Main and John Streets, Bridgeport, Conn, and our Private Bank has been established there continuously. We have received and paid out on demand without mo- dce millions of dollars of money deN posted with us and we continue to receive money subject to dcpositor's 8 checlE at sight, on which we allow tnree per cent per Annun, credited to each account monthly. We solicit the accounts of individuals, business men, firms and corporations, and all who want a bank account where they can deposit money, checks or drafts, and leave 1t for one day.one week. one month or one year, and draw interest on it for any time it is left with us.

Picnic At Wilson's Mill.

The picnic last Friday at VIII
sons Mill drew an immense
crowd from Oxford and the sur
rounding country. This was the
opening of the picnic season in
our county, and, we believe the
FIRST political speaking. Hon. A.
c. Anderson, candidate for Con-
gress and Judge I. T. Blount, for
Chancellor of this district, were
the speakers of the day. After
a pleasant introduction by MIR.
d. /. Hutchinson, these gentle
men presented their claims to the
assembled throng in a forciole
and convincing manner, each re-
ceiving close attention and max
ing favorable impressions.
The only unpleasant incident
oftbe day was a difficulty which
occurred about 4 o'clock between
Messrs. Wiiber Littlejohn and
Lee McGregor. Several shots
we're exchanged between Me
Gregor and Buster Littlejohr
who defended his brother whC
was unarmed. Both men were
seriously wounded but 1t is nov

HON. ?. f. MATTHEW'S FOR
P~ENITENTIARY TRUSTEE.

Our fellow townsman, Hon. p.
r. Matthews. will be 4 candidate
tn succeed himself as penitenti-
ary trustee. Mr.. Matthews has
made good; he has a very ffhe
record for the few months he has
been IN there: he has shown his
ability for this special kind OF
business. lie. together with his
co-workeFs have made for the
state this year over three hum
dred thousand dlllars clear.
That's fine business; most of the
penitentiaries ia this country are
run ut a great loss. Our state
farms are the models in the Unit
ed States We are justly proud
Of this. Successful state farming
was inaugurated BY Governor
VaEdaman and the work has
progressed since that time until
now, IS doing a very successful
work indeed.
We learn that other candidates
are thinking OF running but they
had better be careful: our friend
Matthews has a good record and
will be hard to beat.

ARE THE "CrHER

Some time ago before the trial
u Lieut.. Gov. BilbO some Of the
pupers stated that there would be
''other candidates' for Governor
even named some II them.
Blakeslee. Quinn, Stennis, Tally
and Riley. Where are they? We
have said all the time that in the
event Of Bilbo's acquittal-and
every oue conceded that Il he had
half 4 show. that these men
woult never bs heard from
again. We re-afirm that prop
hery. AZ Bilbo's trial il vas ar
open secret that Quin vas very
much n sympathy for the state ;
even aided them il IS said 70 Try

looked on the states side with
apparent approval-it il a sure

ever sad one word 70 aid Biiho:
sthat's the test Of friendship in a
case Of this sort. amt Tally. Ri
10y and Stennis stood affair off and
gaze no word Of sympathy
Why? That's easy. They wished
for Bilbo's conviction. The state
knows That. And, while Riley
As.d Tally say they are in truth
in the race. We venture to say
they are in it nominally.
We want TO see them run; it
will learn them something and
they will be so gloriously defeat
ed the people won't be bothered
with them ever again. Bro. Ri
ley made 4 speech the other day
down in South Mississippi and
the people yelled for Blloo So
much that Riley had to beg them
- allow him to finish his speech,
and this was his date and no one
else there to speak. What did
tell him? Nothing? Not
much. he IS the candidate near
10 the heart Of our much rspudi-
ated Governor Brewer yet he
that he Is the candidate Of

That Is true. 4 faction always
