CAMPAIGN OPENS.
The state campaign opened at Stutt
gart Wednesday with Gov. Davis and
H. H. Myers, the republican guber
natorial candidate billed to speak.
The local committee had evervthinc
in readiness and a large crowd was in
attendance from different portions of
the state. An inteaesting time was
had, as an effort had been made by
tbe regular republicans to prevent
Mr. Greaves the insurgent candidate,

speaking. It is generally understood
that the situation there was in the
hands of the insurgents.
A GARBAGE PRODUCER.
The watermelon, aided and abetted
by the dusky denizens of the good
city of Memphis, says the Commercial
Appeal, is an item of added expense
and annoyance to the health depart
ment. As a matter of fact, the de
partment has to keep its two pony
crematories in full blast during the
watermelon season, in addition to the
two big fellows, in order to provide a
last resting place for so much of the
rhine as the colored population is
unable to digest, and the added weight
to the total garbage is of such an ex
tent as to make the watermelon sea
Bon rather annoying to the board of
health.
The railroads are all bringing in
large shipments of the juicy delight
which occupies to the dusky citizen
the same relative position that music
does to the savage beast, except that
the after effects, especially when too
much of the fruit has been taken, are
not altogether soothing, either to the
breast or the portion of the anatomy I
immediately succeeding.
