By all accounts fishing was quite good yesterday, in the vicinity of Water Valley.

Clerk Major has appointed as county election commissioners for the ensuing election, H. J. Kannal, for the Republican commissioner and U. M.

Judson Adams returned Sunday from Attica, where had been visiting his wife, at the sanitarium, and her brother Dan Way mire.

The coal strike situation is not yet much changed for the better, although President Roosevelt, with characteristic persistence and determination keeps up his efforts to bring a.bout a settlement. He is especially trying to bring enough pressure to bear on J. P. Morgan to induce him to compel the railroad presidents, whose companies operate the mines, to come to terms with the strikers. The effort holds out some prospects of success. John Jones, of White county,

the other viewer in the Iroquois ditch, has sent in his resignation, leaving both viewers vacant. Too much work aad expense and absence from home are the reasons for the resignations. The law allows them only two dollars per day, , Bnd they have to meet all theirown expenses. It is no wonder the viewers resign. It is hoped that the two vacancies can be acceptably filled when the Commission ers meet in about twe weeks, to arrange for the election.
