Fifteen thousand dollars have
been subscribed by parties
outside of the county to the pro¬
posed bank at Haddock. Those
pushing this enterprise think
there will be no trouble in rais¬

officers: J. T. Cook, Captain ; ,E.
-W. Coleman, 1st. lieutenant;

More than fifty names were m
rolled, and the prospects are that
this will be one of the best com-
pauies in the service of the state,
IT cun Ilor.iul Oak.
There are two Indies living not
a hundred miles from Round Oak
one of whom is very much mar-
riod, the other not at all. I’ll not
tell their names or exactly whore
they live, but both seemed to
think there was a fortune in pick¬
ing cotton. So at it they went.
They picked enough to amount to
fifty cents each and quit. In their
eyes the fortune seemed large
enough and they began a thorough
investigation of different proper-
ties within their knowledge in or-
to invest their fortunes to the best
advantage. The investigation did
not proceed wry far before some¬
thing like the supposed feeling of
old ago began to creep over the
pair. Their joints began to ache.
their muscles grew sore, and in
fact they were in eveay way some¬
what out of fix. Finally they
couldn’t walk, stand or sit, and
nothing was left for them to do
but to sprawl themselves flat on
the floor and make the best of the
matter. They remained in this
position for some time and had to
be literally rolled from place to
place by the most gentle and care¬
ful hands. I am glad to »ay, how¬
ever, that tl>.is pair of self-consti¬
tuted cotton pickers and fortune
hunters are decidedly on the
mend. Tii ey tell it themselves
that they bought five dollars
worth of trouble each with fifty
cents in cash each, and they talk
ns though they are both perfectly
satisfied with the investment. If
the investment is satisfactory
1 them I’m it ought to be (o
sure
other people. But the strange
part of Hie whole business to ,m
is that they should pay 50 cents
each f..r an article that I would
like to dispose of by tile ton for
nothing.
A i; iend of mine who is a trav-
cling man, received a letter from
his wife not many days Rg->. in
which she gave him "Hail, (k
lunsbin, /sappy Laud, ” for his
negligence in.writing to her. Tim
part that struck me most was that
she called him a “civiliz-d eater
of baked beans.” After tins usual
preliminaries in his reply lie came
back at her with this:
, T ., ,. bitten by mosquitoes, ..
n non
Or tortured by a (lea,
When troubled with the hies and
gnats,
‘Tis then I think of thee'”
After ho read the above to me
[ asked him when he expected to
go home, and was informed that
he would go that night.
“Why do you ask?” lie said.
‘'Because,” said T, “with na- i
tore’s submarine explosives elTec-
vesemg m iliat manner I am
bound to think something terrific
will happen when yov and your
■correspondent meet. ” 1 suggest¬
ed that he might cat! such back¬
handed compliments “somo of the
beauties of matrimony. 1 )
The ginneries here have about
all they can do now. Cotton is
coming in with a rush and trade
is real good. The darkey claims
his cotton seed and he is having n
a picnic, but like all other pic-
n j cg) it won’t last long,
Mr. and Mrs. Ben W. Boyd are

Mr. Boyd is working life insur¬

Miss May Barron spent several
days.of last week in our town.
She manages to have something
bright and pleasant to say to eve¬
ry one, If you want to have areal
goo laugh, wind her up good and
before she runs down get her to
describe a game of base ball she
witnessed in Monticello not many
days ago.
P. S.
After my drummer friend work-
ed me up to where I wanted to j
him for neglecting his wife
and writing her an impudent let- I j
ter, he laughed ad told me they j
always write each other that way I
just for fun, and they never really '
fussed. j j
