ADJUDGED INSANE; CARRIED TO ASYLUM George Patton, who recently came to Corinth to visit with rel atives and friends, has been ad judged insane and was tarried this morning to the State Asylum at Meridian. Mr. Patton has been acting very queerly the past few days, sufficiently so as to attract the attention of many people of Corinth. He is said to have been on the school campus yesterday and frightened the pupils, and that his actions became so sus picious he was put under guard until this morning. He is an el derly man, possibly 70 years old, and is well known here. Nothing was suspected to be wrong with his mental faculties when he ar rived here, and he was seemingly very quiet. ■ It is stated that he has been in an iiiSSne asylum before coming to Corinth, but had been released to attend his brother's funeral in Birmingham, Ala., and as his condition was improved he came on to Corinth. 1 The New York banker who bought a lot of pretty things for an actress and charged them to his wife's account, is not lacking in nerve, but is liable to lack gome hair pretty soon. f Ärmistead Warehouse Co., pays highest mark# price for shelled corn or peas. • «to.Cured 1 » 6 to MOW. ni H refund money ^4^ ■7Ï $ The Corinth!» talk. pleure t oday in announcing Ja s .

SPRING HAS ARRIVED SO HAS THE STRAW HAT Spring is officially here—'cause the dear old, faithful, true and tried friend, the straw hat, that tells which way the wind blows, has made its appearance. But the Palm Beach yet lurks in obscur ity. The season has not opened sufficiently to warrant its perma nent location, hence it will stay in the back ground for a few weeks yet. For days and weeks the cloth ing dealers have scanned the weather reports with tender solic itude, and alas, it is here. Per haps, maybe, probably, possibly, the Palm Beach will soon bud, bloom and blossom forth. Every time a Dardanelles fort trembles the teeth of the wheat bulls chatter.
