NOTES ON CURRENT TOPICS
The Grants, father and son#, have enjoyed
n shower of golden opportunities during the
past twenty years. Honors and gifts were
heaped upon the sueeessful soldier. Million
aires at home and abroad lavished upon him
royal presents of money, houses, lands, horses,
buy pups, paintings and hrie-a-brae. The
recipient of these attentions stolidly pocketed
everything and made no return. His selfish

American |»oople owed them a living. They
imbibed the notion that, they were above the
law and were not bound by tin* rulef of com

the generous sup|Mirt extended to them by 1

The beet sugar industry has received many
serious checks in this country, but ^undoubt

two boot sugar factories are in operation iu

were pienieingon the river In Pulaski comity, a
cloud was seen approaching and a negn
who had placed her mule under a glnhousc near

the woman and mule.

Mr. Walter Lake, an associate of the famous farm
ers, the Counts brothers, was in town on Saturday,
and indulged to some extent in drink. He was
heard to say something about self-destruction, a!
though no attention wus paid to it. Pretty soon
the report oi a pistol was heard in the closed ware
house of Lamb A Harris, which communicates
with the saloon oi Lamb A Powell by a side door.
He was found lying on bis bock with a pistol in
his hand across his breast. Examination rbvealed
the fact that the bullet fired missed Its aim and
passed through the coat and vest, between the left
arm and breast, opposite the heart, not touching
hh person. Considerable speculation exists as to
his*suicidal intention, hut the surroundings all

wide, the whole having a uniform depth of,
thirty feet. Tho physical features of tho coun

Thn value of the wood product of this coun

Here they would make a groat mistake. Tho
figures fur last year show that the value of the

was ,714,770. The hark used iu tanning I
