Brunson, Oct. 12.—Several days ago, the newly-elected intendant and war dens of the town of Brunson, after a hot contest in election, went into office and assumed control, but so far no rad icle changes in administration have been noted. Possibly the status quo was sufficiently satisfactory to warrant the adoption of the old adage on the part of the new council, “Twere well to let well enough alone.” Citizens of this county are beginning to talk of and prepare for the approach ing term of court to be held in Hamp ton this month, beginning on the third Monday. Among the important cases to be tried is the one against the Walkers— father and son—charged with the mur der of Policeman Harter, of Allendale Both are in jail, where they have been confined since the alleged crime Fanners of this section are happy over the fairly good crops made and now being harvested, and the “pay ing 1 ' prices received for their cotton (lathering is going on finely.

Washington, Oct. 14.—The United States government today informed pro visional President Huerta that it looked with abhorrence and amaaltnent upon his assumption of both ex ecutive and legislative powers io Mexico and that in view of his course could not regard as constitutional the elections planned for October 3d! Two notes were dispatched—one strongly phrased and written by Secre tary Bryan inquiring about the safety of imprisoned members of the Mexican congress and the other drawn in force ful language by President Wilson him self—and said to constitute practically the last efforts of the Washington gov ernment to deal with the Huerta au thorities by diplomatic means unless there is a decided change of spirit oe the part of the officials in Mexico City.

Too much import ance can not be attached to the date this show will be here, for no ctAe will care to miss seeing what is admitted to be the very best aggregation now be fore the people. With three rings, splendid menagerie and museum full of wonders, it is not to be surprised at that it has attained the reputation of being second to none. The show is far from being a new one as far as its title is concerned, for it has been catering successfully to the amusement loving people for the past generation and is one of the few shows that has endured and thriven with age. This may be attributed solely to the fact that it has always kept just ahead of the times and in advance of the other similar aggregations.
