The recent trip of President Roosevelt to the Mississippi lowlands shows that the method of hunting black bears in southern swamps has not altered a particle in a hundred years. Somebody living down there once found out the best way in which to get them, and the southerner is wise enough to know that there is no sense in trying to improve the best.

Then, as now, bear was hunted with a huge pack of nondescript dogs, containing pretty nearly every known breed, mixtures of all the breeds and some breeds unknown. The planters and other Mississippi residents did their best for the president, and that he did not get anything was due wholly to bad luck. The bears are there, the horses, the men, the swamps and several hundred thousands of the dogs.

When a lot of men in Mississippi or Louisiana or lower Alabama, says the New York Sun, want to go bear hunting they begin, as a general thing, to talk about it six weeks beforehand-the southerner always likes to talk a hunting trip over before he starts; he gets almost as much enjoyment out of the preliminary talk as out of the hunt; and, as he is never in a hurry about anything, he talks slowly and at length.

The long talk ended, arrangements for the chase begin with the parties to it stealing every stray dog they can lay their hands on within a month. These dogs are shut up in a pen on some plantation and get well acquainted with one another, as torn ears testify when they are let out.

Dogs of every conceivable shape and color are prisoners, and of all sizes, from the little fice which runs along inside of the dooryard fence and barks at small boys to the heavyheaded, heavy-lidded cross between a mastiff and a dearhound. Sometimes a lucky man picks up the product of a Newfoundland sire and a dachshund mother, and the product is welcomed by all as a mascot.

Southerners preparing for a bear hunt will steal any kind of a dog except a hound which shows blood or a bird dog. Those two varieties are sacred and not to be sent against a bear to be smashed up.

Dog appearances are deceitful. Occasionally a splendid specimen, with a bull or terrier strain, will turn tail and run like a streak at first sight of a bear; while a miserable, half-starved, droop-tailed, slinking brute, a mixture between a cur and a spitz poodle, will fight like a drunken devil, sailing straight in, with abject tail defiantly rigid and ears laid back, fastening a hold on the bear and enduring a death hug without a whimper.

Almost all these dogs have nose enough to follow a bear scent, which in the slushy, watery soil of the swamp is strong. They are taken from a big wagon when camp is reached and they stay there because they know that is the only place within 20 miles where they are likely to get anything to eat.

It is their business when the trail is found the next day to stay on it and run it out and bring the bear to bay, and they must be good enough fighters to keep the bear at bay until the hunters, guided first by the sounds of their barking and then by the sounds of conflict, approach near enough to shoot.

To the credit of these nondescripts it must be said that, while every pack contains a few defaulters, most of them go in as if they liked it, and are knocked right and left with smashed ribs or ripped sides, rolling over and over in the ooze and bloody from nose to tail root, but getting up and going in again if they are strong enough. Some great fights happen under these circumstances-fights wild enough and savage enough to make the men with the guns stand still and watch with staring eyes until pity for the dogs compels them to shoot.

There are plenty of bears in the southern swamps, and a hunt down there is probably the noisiest thing in the world except a socialist-labor convention. It is full of hard riding and hilarity, mud and blood, strange scenes and sounds and healthy fatigue.

Five hundred dollars was often paid in Holland during the famous tulip craze for a bulb of the Admiral Liefkens or of the Gouda variety, $1,000 to $1,500 for a Viceroy, and $2,000 for a Sempter Augustus. In 1634 the craze became so great that all usual industries were abandoned. A choice bulb sold for $1,900 in cash, two horses, a carriage and a set of harness, representing in all $3,000. Persons frequently invested $50,000 in a few dozen bulbs with which to begin business, mortgaging their houses or giving personal property in exchange.

The sneer that golf is a game only for those not agile and venturesome enough for games of greater danger has long ago faded from golf criticism, and now is arraigned as a game dangerous for men who may be described as "aged," says the London Globe. It is said that if a man all through his life has followed sedentary habits, allowing his muscles to become weak and flabby, particularly those muscles in the region of the heart, golf may very easily prove too severe a strain for his system. But in the pages of a golf journal this view is partially criticised by one who did not begin the game till he was very near the neighborhood of 60. He declares that it is a matter of beginning gently and he tells us that in his own case he does not find two rounds a day particularly exhausting. At the same time he confesses that he has always been an enthusiast for outdoor exercise, and is inclined to think that for a man who has never taken physical exercise-rather a rare experience-it may be a little exhausting to begin with. It is all a matter of not overdoing it at first, but, unfortunately, so attractive is the game that the oldest beginners are tempted to go in for it rather more vigorously than is wise. The result of all this latest pother seems to be that like everything else in life it is wisdom at the outset to "go slow," and this is a verdict that "aged beginners" should lay to heart.

Iuka, January 14^th.-At the opening of circuit court, Messrs. Vardaman and Noel, candidates for governor, addressed the people of the county. They both made telling and able speeches. G.T. Mitchell of Pontotoc, candidate for district attorney, is also circulating among the sovereigns, making many friends.

"You have broken your New Year’s vow" she exclaimed. "You promised to stop drinking."

Taking a bottle of chloroform from her pocket the woman drank the contents. As she sank to the floor, she said: "I will at least keep my vow to die if you do not give up drinking."

The doctors say she has a slight chance to recover.

Nobody is half so sorry for a widow as she is for those who aren’t widows.

Women get headaches over missing love letters the way a man does over missing his dinner.

It makes a buxum woman awful nervous when she sees her husband reading the anti-fat advertisements.

BOONEVILLE PLAINDEALER: We are in receipt of a letter from L.R. Burress, of Geeville, suggesting that The Plaindealer call a good roads convention; which reminds us of the time the tree came very near falling on us while logging in Arkansas. For several years we could not pass a leaning tree without feeling like squatting for a quick run. The last good roads convention was so pronounced in its declarations that The Plaindealer would feel embarrassed to be caught calling another. We ought to have better roads, but we know that it will take money to get them; that means taxes, and taxes is—well taxes, no, we are not calling conventions this year.

Jackson, Tennessee-January 19^th. A bill was filed in chancery at Murfreesboro, Tenn., this week by Leland Jordan and others which will precipitate one of the bitterests over property ever entered into in this state.

Union University, a Baptist institution, was one of the leading educational institutions in the South in the antebellum days. It went down after the war and its good will was eventually transferred to the Southwestern Baptist University of this city. The campus of Union University comprising sixteen acres of land, situated in the heart of the thriving town of Murfreesboro, in the bluegrass region of Tennessee, is now worth $40,000.00, and this is the bone of contention. The title of this property was vested in the state Baptist board of education. The board, in 1899, at the state Baptist convention at Union City, gave a deed to the property to the Southwestern Baptist University, this institution having in the meantime secured a majority of the trustees in the Union University holders. The bill alieges that President G.M. Savage of the Southwestern Baptist University was the prime mover and instigator in securing the deed, and that the action was unknown to Jordan and trustees of Union University; that it was attained through fraud and is null and void.

Dr. Savage is one of the most prominent Baptist educators in the South and those associated with him stand high in the demonination.

In these tax-paying times it is very convenient and profitable to own your property just outside the city limits.

J.H. WHITE, Adjt.

Circuit court convened here today, Judge Sykes presiding, and District Attorney Barron on hand, with other regular officers and members of the bar.

Before court convened a mass meeting was held to discuss the good roads question. Hon. C.B. Curlee of Rienzi presided. Speeches were made by J.M. Boone, T.H. Underwood and T.D. Young, in advocacy of the contract system of working the roads, and a resolution favoring this system was unanimously passed. The good roads question is one of immense importance, and a little more agitation and education and the people will begin to make permanent improvements.

He would make a very capable and accommodating officer.

Real circuit court weather came about today. Yesterday when the bureau made its forecast of fair weather it evidently didn’t know that circuit court was due to begin here. Memory balks at the suggestion of decent weather ever attending a January term of court in Corinth. Today is state docket day, when all the witnesses and principals on the criminal docket are summoned to appear, and a shivering, bedrabbled lot they are coming over the miry roads in the rain from all parts of the county to attend court.

Rile Austin moved recently to Glidwell’s Mill, where he is employed as a sawyer.

The feud existing between Sam Allen of Booneville and the sporting editor of The Corinthian has been amicably settled, and all is peace. It began two years ago about a game of baseball between Corinth and Booneville, and since then the sporting editor has "mouthed" sufficiently to cause the Booneville antagonist to load for geese when on trips to Corinth. Attending court and carrying side-arms was a little inconvenient to Mr. Allen, and being ordinarily a man of peace, a follower of the meek and lowly, he came to town this trip with peace overtures in his pockets instead of guns…

Years ago, when the writer was a small boy he attended a baseball game between Corinth and Booneville, played in an old field south of Rienzi. There were the usual jeers and taunts exchanged between the two clubs when one of the Corinth "rooters", yelled: "Oh, you d--- Boonevillians, you can’t play ball, ‘cause your name ain’t in the Bible like us Corinthians!" Sam Allen was standing in the throng and he retorted, "You’re a liar!" That started the row, and the "fun" was fast and furious. The Boonevillians with drawn baseball bats advanced on long, keen knives in the hands of the Corinthians. And in the midst of the strife and bloody noses, where was Mr. Allen? Back at a safe distance where the ladies were, he was heard to remark to a fair companion: "Just look what a devil of a row I’ve raised-can’t somebody stop ‘em!"

Walter G. Jones is announced as a candidate for circuit clerk. He has held the office of cotton weigher for several years and is among the best known men in the country. He is eminently qualified for the duties of the new office to which he aspires, and would be found faithful and courteous in discharging its business.

Railroad Commissioner J.C. Kincannon is in the city.

Mr. Kincannon is a candidate for re-election. He has made a good record, discharging his duty faithfully in looking after the people’s interests.

Speaking of the proposed new union depot at this place, Mr. Kincannon said that work would undoubtedly begin about March 1^st. The railroad authorities, in compliance with the orders of the commission, have planned for the building to begin as soon as winter weather is over. The plans agreed upon are for a handsome structure, one in keeping with the importance of this growing, progressive city.

Hon. H.H. Ray announces for re-election as representative in the legislature. He has served this county well in the past, doing able and faithful service. He is truly a representative citizen of the highest type, and the county could not make a mistake in re-electing him.

Mrs. George Taylor entertained a number of friends Wednesday afternoon at a progressive flinch party. The occasion was in honor of her sister, Mrs. Price, of Helena, Arkansas, who is visiting here. The prize was awarded Mrs. Cullen Stanley; the booby prize going to Mrs. E.P. Simmons.

Corinth is fortunate in having a good "coal man". Mr. Bell has kept the town well supplied with the needful during the season, not withstanding the scarcity elsewhere. Corinth couldn’t get along very well without Mr. Bell.

Building activity in Corinth this year promises well. Several things are slated.

Washington-January 22^nd. A treaty between the United States and Colombia, by which this government secures the right to construct an isthmian canal on the Panama route has been signed.

The treaty will be transmitted to the senate for ratification. No details regarding the provisions of the treaty have been made public. It is understood that a compromise was arranged between the $100,000 yearly rental offered by Secretary Hay and the $600,000 demanded by Colombia.

The United States is given a lease renewal every one hundred years at the sole option of this government. This is practically equivalent to sovereignty but meets the requirements of the Colombian constitution.

We have examined the poor house through a committee, and beg to report that conditions there are not as satisfactory as might be.

The county owns the land upon which the poor house is located. The house of the Superintendent is in an unsafe condition, and we suggest the necessity of immediate repair of this building.

The houses in which the paupers are kept are also in an unsatisfactory condition; leaking, and otherwise needing general repairs.

There is no complaint among the paupers of the way in which they are fed. They also have plenty of gumwood to burn. There is complaint that the clothing of the paupers is insufficient and it is the opinion of the grand jury from the report of the committee the complaint is well founded in some two or three instances. The poor are pleased with the superintendent, and we think him a competent and suitable man for the place, and would respectfully suggest and request that the Board give this matter immediate attention.

We have examined the jail and find it well kept, and the inmates properly and satisfactorily cared for.

We have examined the roll of honor, the pension roll, and find all whose names appear thereon to be entitled to the same, save one.

We have examined the books of the various county officers, and find in every instance the books in excellent condition.

Miss Mary Bynum, daughter of Mrs. Annie Bynum, of Booneville, died yesterday at South McAlister, Indian Territory. The remains were received here today and will be carried to Booneville where they will be intered tomorrow. The deceased was well known in Corinth. She was reared at Rienzi, and later moved with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. J.M. Bynum, to Booneville. She received her college education at the I.I.&C. at Columbus, and afterward became a member of the faculty of that institution. She was devoting her life to educational work, for which she was so admirably adapted. She was an untiring, enthusiastic worker, and possessed the talents and elements that made her efforts meet with pronounced, notable success. Sociably, hers was a kindly, congenial spirit; her circle of friends was wide and those who knew her loved her, and rendered to her the courteous respect due a lady of refinement and gentleness of heart. On account of ill health she retired from her college work; then, thinking the trip would be beneficial, she accepted from the government a position as teacher in the Philippine Islands. Her health continuing to fail, she soon returned to this country and stopped for a time at Los Angeles, California, where she was joined by her mother, and later they came to South McAlister.

Mississippi claims the oldest preacher in the United States, and perhaps in the world. The reverened gentleman is Rev. N.L. Clark, who resides at Newton, Mississippi. He was ordained into the ministry on the 10^th of June, 1838, and has been in the active ministry in East Mississippi for more than sixty years, is editor of a local Baptist paper, pastor of the Newton Baptist Church and often drives ten miles over the country roads to the county seat at Decatur to perform marriage and funeral services, make pastoral visits and to preach in the Decatur church, where he was acted as pastor for more than 65 years. East Mississippi was a wilderness when he first came to that section, and the venerable minister relates many interesting incidents of the early history of the State.

The press of Mississippi is poking considerable fun at the State University over the announcement that a department of journalism is to be added to the course of study. The average country editor is very skeptical as to the practicability of the venture; the contention being that it is no more possible to develop a trained newspaper man in a school of journalism than it would be to train a blacksmith by keeping him locked up in a parlor.

Another new venture of the State University is the establishment of a department of insurance to be under the direction of a capable instructor, and it is stated that this course will be quite popular at the next session.

The scheme to annex Wenasoga, Hightown and a part of Hatchie to the corporation of Corinth has failed. They didn’t want to come in.

The U.D.C. meet tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock at the residence of Mrs. Tom Holman.

The sidewalks are still bad. Col. Ozier hasn’t as yet matured his plans to have them fixed. But in time he’ll get there. It takes time and nerve to enforce the law on this proposition.

The city printing last year amounted to the extravagant sum of $29.00, in city warrants. No wonder the Colonel and his board called for cut-throat, sealed bids. There is no politics in this, only a desire to serve the interests of the burdened taxpayers. The Corinthian didn’t file a bid. It wants to see the city freed from the thralldom of extravagance and will insist on it all along the line. This thing of spending $29.00 a year on printing is an outrage, and The Corinthian hopes to be forgiven, for it did enjoy a portion of that ill-gotten gain.

In Bright’s Disease the kidneys become so spongy that they fall apart and the victim dies. Your case is not yet that serious, but may be any day if you run along as you are. Don’t defy disease, but take Kid-Ne-Oids at once. 50 cents. Sugar-coated tablets.

Washington-There was again today considerable talk about the senate of the possibility of a compromise on the statehood proposition. A suggestion which appears to meet with some favor on both sides of the two Territories of Oklahoma and New Mexico be admitted as States and that Arizona be united with New Mexico until the area now covered by that Territory shall include 300,000 people, when it shall become a State; and that Oklahoma be admitted as it now stands, but that at some definite time in the future Indian Territory shall be added to Oklahoma.

London-Amelia Sach and Annie Walters, "baby farmers," were hanged at Holloway jail Tuesday. The women were recommended to mercy on account of their sex, but the home secretary was unable to grant the reprieve usually accorded. The women walked to the scaffold unaided and displayed remarkable fortitute. No woman had been previously hanged in England since March 1800.

Along the Cotton Belt Route-land that can be bought for $2 to $5 an acre and up-cut-over timber ground that make good grazing land, furnishing range ten to eleven months of the year, farming land for corn, wheat, oats, cotton-some of it peculiarly adapted to quick growth and early maturity of fruits and vegetables, such as peaches, pears, plums, strawberries, tomatoes, potatoes, onion, cabbage, melons-finding good markets in the north at fancy prices, on account of excellence of quality and earlier maturity than in other sections. An ideal place for the man of small means-cheap fuel, cheap building materials, long growing seasons, short, mild winters-a land of sunshine and plenty. Let us send you literature descriptive of this counrty.

"Home in the Southwest," "Glimpses of Southeast Missouri, Arkansas and Northwest Louisiana," "Through Texas with a Camera," "Fortunes in growing Fruits and Vegetables," "Diversier," a fruit and truck growers’ journal.

On first and third Tuesdays of each month the Cotton Belt Route will sell one-way tickets from St. Louis, Thebes, Cairo and Memphis, to points in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, at half the one-way rate plus $2, or round trip tickets at one fare for the round trip plus $2, allowing stop-over going, and 21 days return limit.

One of the most reliable and substantial citizens of Corinth has made the proposition to build an opera house to cost $10,000 if the citizens will buy and donate the ground.

To discuss this propositon a mass meeting is called for Friday night, 7 o’clock at the New Century Theatre. Everyone interested is earnestly urged to be present and hear and join in the discussion.

One of Corinth’s needs is a suitable, first-class public building, an auditorium for public meetings and entertainments, and the opportunity is now offered to secure one, and on the most liberal terms.

Attend the meeting tomorrow night. The ground on which to erect the building is all that the citizens are asked to contribute to secure this much-needed accommodation. The proposed building will be used exclusively for public entertainments, two stories, a handsome, commodious structure with all modern appointments, broad stage, opera chairs, steam-heated, and everything first-class. The promoter of the enterprise is a man who can be depended on the carry out to the letter every detail and promise of a contract. The lots have been selected and can be secured at reasonable figures. Attend the meeting.

Henry Mickle of New Orleans is in the city today.

Hon. W.J. Lamb has returned from a trip to St. Louis.

This is the year in which we build the opera house in Corinth, Mississippi.

Is the object to save money to the city? If so, will the scheme work?

This is a great town for anything that’s free. Free shows draw well. No admission to the city council.

T.C. Brown is in the city prospecting with a view of establishing a business college class.

Corinth is now without a laundry. M. Bear has quit the business and will engage in cleaning and dyeing clothes.

Why ask the railroads to put up arc lights. We’ve understood that incandescents were the proper and onliest thing.

Some people haven’t as yet got on to Corinth’s curves. It’s the same old town. A little disfigured at times, but still the same.

When the questions of extending the lighting system comes up it will be up to the dingbat and wheezle-boom. Our money goes up on the wheezle.

The same proposition came up a few years ago. Asked why, this motive leaked out: "The Corinthian has been getting the lion’s share!" Ah!

Corinth needs a laundry. Some people would send away for their work, but there are others who would gladly patronize a first-class home concern.

At the last meeting of the city council the Herald Publishing Co. presented the following sealed bid for city printing for the year 1903:

Postmaster Elgin states that the business transacted at the postoffice indicates an increase of the usual 20 per cent per annum. If the ratio of increase is preserved during the month of March, Corinth will be entitled to and will receive free delivery of mails.

This will be a big feather in Corinth’s cap, will prove a great convenience and will be a great advertisement of Corinth’s progress and importance as a business place.

Free mail delivery will cause Uncle Sam to take a hand in the matter of good sidewalks. The government demands and compels good, passable sidewalks wherever it inaugurates a free mail delivery system. It also requires streets to be placarded with names and houses to be numbered.

While "want ads" have only come into general use comparatively recently they were in use over 100 years ago. The following one is from the American Mercury dated September 27, 1784:

"WANTED-For a sober family, a man of light weight who fears the Lord and can drive a pair of horses. He must occasionally wait at table, join in household prayer, look after the horses and read a chapter in the Bible. He must, God willing, rise at 7 in the morning, obey his master and mistress in all lawful commands. If he can dress hair, sing psalms and play at cribbage, the more agreeable. He must not be too familiar with the maid servants of the house, lest the flesh rebel against the spirit and be inclined to walk in the thorny paths of the wicked. Wages, fifteen guineas a year."

A colony of Quakers from Kentucky, we understand, are considering the proposition to move near Corinth, and engage in the manufacture of wagons. This project is being looked after by the Corinth Business League. Another enterprise that is being encouraged is the establishment of a canning factory. This latter proposition is one originating among a few enterprising farmers near Corinth, and it is the intention to have a meeting at the courthouse Saturday, 28^th, for the purpose of discussion and organization.

A difficulty arose at Cherokee, Alabama; over a crap game between Will Jackson and Will O’Neal, both white. O’Neal was cut severely and will die. (Editor’s Note: I hope O’Neal didn’t read the paper!)

When you report yourself as being on the sick list as late in the week as Thursday morning, says an exchange, you should, in justice to the editor, remain sick at least until the paper is in the postoffice. It is terribly embarrassing to say that Mr. and Mrs. Geewhillikens is dangerously sick as we go to press and then while lugging the papers to the postoffice meet the said party on the street, happy and cheerful as a boy with his first celluloid collar.

He is much beloved by the good people of Corinth, and held in high esteem and appreciation by all, both as a preacher and citizen.

Editor Corinthian-Quite a lot of talk is going the rounds about graveling the levees and red hills within four miles of Corinth and Rienzi, and our board of supervisors has passed an order to issue $5,000 of 20-year, 5 per cent bonds, redeemable at the option of Alcorn county after ten years.

This is surely a fine move for our city and county. This amount will gravel, after the road is put in fix, between four and five miles in length, seven inches deep and seven feet wide.

Aberdeen Examiner: The pants factory started in Corinth several years ago on capital of $30,000 has grown from earnings to immense proportions and probably has more traveling salesmen than any other establishment in the South. Most of the other pants factories were started on less than $10,000 capital, and there is not one of them that is not paying big dividends.

A large audience was present at the Baptist church last night to hear Rev. B.G. Lowrey of Blue Mountain discuss "The Saloon, the Citizen and the State." The speaker made a timely and interesting question, and all present agreed fully to all he said about the evils of the liquor traffic. The question of doing away with local option and adopting statutory prohibition is one that will be hotly discussed by the people of the state during the present year. All but 12 counties in the state have become prohibition by means of local option and legislative enactments and the local option plan is very popular, supported by some of the strongest temperance leaders and almost the entire press of the state. The greatest agitation will be heard in those counties which allow saloons. It will do no harm, and may result in good in furthering and strengthening the sentiment against the saloon.

The flagman at Filmore street crossing will be out of a job soon, and electric alarm bells will be instituted. The clang of these bells is calculated to disturb some of our gun-shy citizens. The order was approached cautiously by the city council. The railroad attorney and the Colonel (Ozier) eloqueted eloquently and earnestly at each other for a time-glared and fanned the air-the Colonel (Ozier) seemingly contending for the old time religion, a man and a flag, but he finally sailed gracefully toward the bell proposition and made the motion. Johnnie Meeks learned to say no early in life, and remembering the leaflet literature of his youth, voted no. And there you were. The proposition was again explained and two more votes were recorded yea. One alderman hasn’t voted as yet. The bells are to be tried as an experiment for one year.

THIS PICTURESQUE STORY CAUSED A SUIT FOR DIVORCE IN NEW YORK.

An amphiban is named as co-respondent in the divorce suit of Mrs. Katherine Miller. She says in her petition that a whale drew her husband’s love from her.

"I was reading to him the story of Jonah and the whale and he put on his hat and left me," she says in her bill. "He said he was going out to see one of those fishes that swallowed people. ‘I’ve never seen a whale and I am going out to find one,’ said Mr. Miller."

An exchange says "that a dog in North Mississippi was so vicious that he would attack the locomotive of every train that passed through the town. One day he took hold of one of the driving shafts of the cannon ball as she went through town and was thrown three hundred feet in the air and fell in the smoke stack and has not been seen since." That is a dog gone story.

That dog gone story reminds us of what a Prentiss County farmer said the other day. He was talking of the number of candidates in his county; said that a candidate rode up to a farmhouse the other day and inquired of the man of the house when he was answered by a little boy sitting astride the fence. "Pap’s down in the field a-burying our dog. The blame fool killed hisself barking at candidates."

Our terms are liberal, our methods modern. T.C. Brown, Corinth, Mississippi. NIGHT AND DAY CLASSES.

Rev. J.W. Dishman, pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, preached his farewell sermon last night, and will leave Wednesday for Greeneville, Tennessee, where he has accepted a call.

The other pastors in the city dismissed their congregations for the night services so that all could attend the C.P. Church. Every available seat in the church was occupied, and the services were peculiarly impressive and solemn; for everyone was in sympathy with the purport of the occasion. At the close of the sermon Mr. Dishman referred to his leaving, and his remarks were well-timed and conveyed with them a feeling of pathos and tenderness, a deep appreciation, an interest in and a warm love for Corinth people and congregation.

Rev. Austin Crouch of the Baptist church presided at an after-meeting, paying a tribute to the departing pastor, and adding appropriate remarks relative to the occasion. He was followed by T.D. Duncan, who spoke on behalf of the church, reviewing the pastorate of Mr. Dishman the past nine years. His tribute was spoken with an honest earnestness that no one failed to appreciate, and the kind words spoken were apt illustrations of the links and ties of fellowship and love that have bound pastor and congregation. Rev. Sydenstricker of the Presbyterian Church and Rev. Felts of the Methodist Church, each made good talks, and then a song was sung and great numbers of the congregation went forward to shake hands with the beloved minister. At times the scene was pathetic, and many were the eyes that were wet with tears. As said by one of the speakers, there were many hearts that were aching.

This manifestation of love and esteem was deserving. Mr. Dishman came to Corinth in July, 1894, from college, accepting the call here as his first charge, and for nine years he has labored faithfully, the record he is leaving behind showing that his work and ministry has been preeminently for good. As a citizen he was useful and was a strong factor in social and civic affairs; he is active, industrious and liberal; a neighbor and friend possessing generosity and cleverness to a fault-a good man, big-hearted and true; and with all good qualities "The Corinthian" commends him to the people of Greeneville.

He comes to answer the charge of kidnapping the illegitimate child of Miss Priscilla Howell, his accuser, who has followed him with unrelenting energy ever since he disappeared with her baby.

We happened in a home the other day and over the parlor door saw a legend worked in letters of red, " What is Home without a Mother?" Across the room was another brief, "God Bless Our Home."

Now, what’s the matter with "God Bless Our Dad!" He gets up early, lights the fire, boils an egg, grabs his dinner pail and wipes off the dew of the dawn of his boots while many a mother is sleeping. He makes the weekly hand-out for the butcher, the grocer, the milkman and baker, and his little pile is badly wern before he has been home an hour. He stands off the bailiff and keeps the rent paid up.

If there is a noise during the night Dad is kicked in the back and made to get up and find the burglar and kill him. Mother darns the socks but dad bought the socks in the first place and the needles and the yarn afterwards. Mother does up the fruit; well, dad bought it all, and jars and sugar cost like the mischief.

Dad buys chickens for the Sunday dinner, carves them himself and draws the neck from the ruins after everyone else is served. "What is Home Without a Mother?" Yes, that is all right; but what is home without a father? Ten chances to one it is a boarding house, father is under a slab and the landlady is the widow. Dad, here’s to you; you’ve got your faults-you may have lots of ‘em-but you’re all right, and we will miss you when you’re gone.

I have reasons for my withdrawal from the race for re-election to the office of county superintendent.

These I will not give in public print. I could not express my gratitude to the people of this county for their support nearly four years ago. The subject of the consolidation of county schools is taking shape a little too fast in the minds of those whose eye is on the pocket more than it is on the educational interest of the masses. I can fight this tendency better in the legislature than anywhere else. So I offer for a seat in the lower house, subject to the decision of the Alcorn voters. Your will, not mine, be done.

Bolivar, Tennessee, March 19-The old Baptist church of this place is being torn down to be converted into a residence. In the early settlement of Bolivar, the Baptists were the first of the denominations to erect a church, which was of brick, and stood where the frame structure now stands.

The readers of The Corinthian will be deeply pained and shocked to learn of the death of Hon. Sam P. Allen, which occurred at his home in Booneville last night. He was stricken with apoplexy at 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon and died at 9 o’clock that night. He was 49 years of age and leaves a wife and two children. The funeral services, we understand, took place this afternoon at 3 o’clock.

Mr. Allen was a prominent man in North Mississippi, and was held in loving esteem by all who knew him. He ranked among the leaders of the bar, and had large and powerful influence in social and political affairs. His influence and his efforts always tended toward the higher order of things, for the betterment of society and his fellowman. He was a moral and an honest man-and when that can be truly said of a man, volumes of laudations in behalf of his character would add no more.

He was a congenial and lovable character, and his personality was felt and appreciated at home and wherever he went. He was a brother of Hon. John M. Allen and possessed those inimitable traits of humor and convivality that are so well known and so thoroughly enjoyed by a very wide circle of friends. It is with the sincerest sorrow that we chronicle his death. He was a friend highly prized; he was in loving touch of friendship with so many that his demise will be learned with a feeling of sadness that comes with the loss of one bound by sacred or closer ties of kinship. May his soul rest in peace.

Down in the piney woods country, where the M.J. & K.C. road is being built, there are people who have never saw a locomotive. A few weeks ago, one of these long-haired natives, who heard the cars were running not more than fifteen miles away, hitched his horses to his wagon and took his family to see the cars.

He stopped his team near the railroad track, and the time drew near for the iron horse to make its appearance, he became nervous, and for safety, he unhitched his team and carried them over the hill, about a half mile away, and hitched them securely. He returned to town and sat on the wagon tongue a few minutes and decided he had better move the wagon a little further away. He lifted the tongue to roll the wagon to a place of safety, when the shrill note of the locomotive whistle announced the coming of the train. The man became frightened, pulled the wagon with all his might, and as the train thundered by, he got so badly scared that he ran away with the wagon and tore it all to pieces.

Casualities are not known. The reporter left about this time.

Selmer, Tennessee, March 30^th-Sunday night about 8 o’clock when Sheriff Robert M. Carroll made his usual visit to the cell room of the jail to secure the doors dividing the cage into three cells, he was attacked by six of the eleven prisoners.

They had forced out one bar below the feeding trap in a blind cell in the rear of the cage by breaking it with the iron water closet seat. The bar shows granules, but the part broken was in two pieces, each about six inches.

The two pieces were used to beat the sheriff on the head. John Moore, white, convicted murderer, struck him just over the temple, and Math. Prather, a negro, hammerred the back of the sheriff’s head. Neither succeeded in fracturing the skull, though the loss of blood and the concussion have incapacitated Sheriff Carroll from taking part in the which is going on.

Prather jumped from a second story window, while Baldridge and Benton, two other negroes, ran down the stairs and through the kitchen, where they smashed the glass from the window and made their escape while the sheriff was struggling with the more important prisoner, Monroe.

Search will be made with the dogs through West Tennessee and Mississippi, as they have likely made for locations familiar to them. John Barclay, convicted with Monroe, lost his nerve and was waiting on the steps when Warren Wallace, who lives with the sheriff, came in answer to calls for help, with a shotgun, and drove him and the other six back.

Monroe and Barclay are under sentences of twenty years, waiting decision of an appeal to the Supreme Court.

Nashville, Tennessee March 31^st-General William H. Jackson, for thirty and odd years proprietor of the famous Belle Meade stock farm near this city, Confederate cavalry leader, one time Indian fighter, died at his home at 7:05 last night.

He anticipated death and approached it calmly and confidently. For years General Jackson was a devoted member of the Methodist Church. Funeral arrangements have not been made, but the interment will doubtless be in the family burying grounds at Belle Meade.

The residence of Morris Abbey, in the northern portion of town, was burned to the ground this morning, shortly after 8 o’clock.

The fire originated at the kitchen stove while Mrs. Abbey was in the front part of the house. When she returned to the kitchen the flames were beyond control and she gave the alarm and began saving the furniture in the main portion of the building. Others saw the fire and came to the assistance.

The building was an old one, and the fire burned rapidly. Situated some distance from town it was beyond the reach of the powers of the fire company or the use of water hose. Luckily there were enough nearby neighbors who discovered the flames in time to render valuable assistance in getting out the household effects.

Mr. Abbey carried $2,000 insurance on his residence and $400 on furniture. The house was built many years ago by Richard Allen, and has since changed ownership several times, being remodeled and enlarged by John Draughn and Chas. Martin.
