THE STOCK LAW.

We are told that there is such
thing as a Stock Law in Lafayette
County. In many places--ln ONfort
for instance-this fact would be doubt
ed by strangers entering our city. The
sight of a number Of scavangers OF
the pig type, goats, horses, COWS, and
other animals running at large in the
city limits, and out in the country
would leave one to believe that no such
thing as a stock law exists IN the
county.
1t is unlawful to let stock run at
large in Lafayette County. Ihls
does not excuse hogs nor does It ap-
ply to any particular time Of the year.
il you have stock that you can not
keep up, the best thing TO do Is to
sell them. Don't impose on your
neighbors and violate the law by al
lowing them to roam at will and de-
stroy property belonging to others.
Our city authorities should see to 1t
that the stock law is enforced in the
.ity limits; otherwise abolish the law
and notify citizens to fence their
against intruders.

WOMAN TAKES POISON.
Fear of Draft Taking Husband is
Believed Cause.

RIPLEY, Miss. Sept. S.-News
reached Ripley this afternoon of the
suicide last night of Mrs. Tom Adair
wife of Tom Adai-, aged about &c
wears. who lived in Unicn County, alb
ont five miles south of Dumas, neal
old Mount Zion Church.
Mrs. Adair was found late yesterday
afternoon in a gulley near her home
and was unconscious from the effects
of paris green, which she had taken
apparently with suicidal intent.
DR.. w. NJ. Murry who was called,
kept her alive until about 10 o'clock
last night, when she passed away. AT
one time she revived, but would give
no reason for taking the poison.
Under her pillow on .he bed where
she slept was found a Bible, hymn
book and a write-up recently publish
in the papers about church and COM
munity reunion at Old Mount Zion
Church, near where she lived.
II is said that she had been brooding
over the thought that her husband
would soon be called into military
service and that is believed tc have
caused her to become unbalanced in
mind. She was a daughter of VIM.
Williams, a prominent farmer of that
section. She leaves a husband and one
little girl.

LIEUT.. GOVERNOR RUSSELL.

Such dirty sheets as the Jackson
Daily News, Clarion-Ledger and a
few others of that ilk, show very
plainly now what they were after in
the recent Senatorial fight. They
have begun their campaign Of abuse
and villification of Lieut.. Gov. Lee NJ.
Russell. Russell is noble, clean
honorable man. A man that is fear
less in his position on all questions
A better equipped man can not be
found in this state. He came from
the rank and file of the common
people. He has fought his way from
the lowest rung of the ladder to al
most its top single handed and alone.
He has few friends of wealth but he
he has thousands wealthy in honest
and fairdSaling he prides above
money.
The trend of the above sort Of yell
low journals indicates, as We all knew
that they would train their mud bat
teris on him In due time. They have
begun. Let him "lay on McDuff"
When the smoke of battle is cleared
the people of this st2te will have q
sure enough Governor, in Lee Russell
one IN whom every aspiring youth can
point to with pride and respect. The
people will not see Lee Russell slaug-
tered by a gang that has proven in all
times past TO be the enemies of good
government and a square deal in this
state
Sheets like the above have been
running for years and years and they
have never been on the right side OF
anything Of note since they have been
IN the game. They arc stenches in
the nostrils Of decent people.
III you want TO see all sorts of mud
slime and lies we respectfully refe,
you to the above papers-they publish
everything but the truth.
