Homestead, has returned from ths
Centennial. In speaking Of Missi.
sippi Headquarters he says: We weIe
greatly disappointed at the Missis
s'ppi headquarters, aud regret that
the State went to the expense al
erecting building at al, unless IL
could have bad better one, aud one
that would have been more orodita
bl, to The State. The building is oI
poles, With the bark on, put togcthel
IN three ways, pcrpeniicularl., hori
Eontally, and dIagonaIly, and guam
titles of moss is suspended from th,
roof Inside il l. sealed with differ
ent kinds Of wood, il is said over
sixty kinds. The appropriation By
the State was not sufficient To iurnlsl
the house inside with proper accom-
: modations, and the fact is the Mis-
sisSippi house at the Centennial i
: the most inferior one, in every re

would haye been decidedly bette
!. to have had no house; ;Andnot 10 hav,
I made any attempt at representation
!. than 70. have made the State ridicu
IOus.
