Mr. O. L. Baggett, accused of
manslaughter and whose trial
was begun in the Superior
Court last Tuesday afternoon
was resumed Wednesday morn
ing and about an hour after the
case was argued and turned
over to the jury the verdict was
nady, and “not guilty” brought
to the defendant freedom.
Mr. Theo Titus represented
the prosecution and made a
speech of an hour. Capt. W.
M. Hammond then held the
jury and immense crowd of
spectators spell bound with an
other of his eloquent speechts
for. the defendant. The Hon.
Fondren Mitchell for the prose
cution, made a closing speech
of an hour’s duration in one of
his usual most convincing lines
of argument, but to no purpose.
After instructing the jury ?s
to the law .in the case, Judge
Mitchell retired the jury for de
liberation.
Thus has closed another case

parties interested and their nu
merous friends.

HR. CHARLES EDBERI GRANT OF GIEVELAND,
OHIO, till RENDER "IRE OLD HOME
STEAD" NEST WEDNESDAY RIGHT
Mr. Charles Edbert Grant, a
noted Impsersonator and Mo
nologist, will render The
Old Homestead” at the school
house Wednesday night, No
vember 2nd.
Mr. Grant has entertained in
nearly every state from the Gulf
to the Lakes, and from the At
lantic to the Rockies and in
Canada, and the reports from
the press and the public are
very flattering.
This will be a high class en
tertainment and everybody
should turn out.
We reproduce a few of his en
dorsements:
Charles Edbert Grant is not a two-faced
man, but he is a twenty-two faced man.
If I could change front as successfully
as Grant I’d make the greatest politician
on earth. He is a condensed Comedy
Company, and a unanimous show in
evening dress. If he lives long enough
and his face holds out he will stand at
the head of his class. Try him, he will j
win.—Wellington Vandiver, Gen’l Mgr.
Alabama Chautauqua.
The audience was delighted with his
work.—Dramatic Mirror.
The evening was Cleveland given over monologist, to Charles
Edbert Grant, the
who rendered in a highly appreciated
way, ‘The Old Homestead.” Mr. Grant
proved himself capable of ‘‘being the
whole show, He represented the uni
que characters of Mr. Thompson’s home
like drama, in a manner rarely excelled
by an entire company of artists.—The
Western Chautauquan.
Charles Edbert Grant, of Cleveland,
Ohio, had a large audience from which
to draw inspiiation for his ‘‘Old Home
stead” last evening. As to all monolo
gists, Mr. Grant takes (he part of all the
leading characters, and in spite of the
wide range from the dignified Hopkins takes
to the hair-brained Rickety Ann,
them well. His Oest work, of course, is
devoted to “Uncle Josh,” the leadiug
character, but it is as Cy Prime that he is
most at home.—The Breeze.
Admission 25c, 35c and 50c.
Those who hold reserved seat
tickets sold them for the Pearce
lecture will please call at Wight
& Browne’s drug store and ex
change them for new ones.
Now you didn’t expect to find
such good goods sold at such
unheard of small prices. Neith
er did we. Now, the truth of
the matter is, when you see a
man with push, hustle and
energy he has also plenty of vim
and snap about him, and when he
goes into business he needs the
the patronage, aid and support
of the people. Consequently to
reach the people he naturally
inserts an advertisement in his
home paper, setting forth the
line of goods he carries and the
bargains he is offering. The
rest is easy, The Cairo Furni
ture Co. has a change of adver
tisement in todav’s paper, and it
is just bristling with bargains.
Read it.
Mr. A. J. Lewis, the artistic
sign painter, has 'been in the
city; and though his coming was
not heralded, the many neat and
handsome signs of his skill, will
attest to his having been. here.
Mr. Lewis is certainly a good
one.
