Farmers Institute.

The Trustees of the 4. & NJ. College
of Mississippi, have made provision fol
holding in connection with the farmers
of the State, a series of six Farmer.
Institutes during the month of July
Upon invitation from any Grange or or.
ganized body of farmers a delegation oil
the College Faculty, consisting of two OF
more of the professors, will meet them
for the purpose of presenting papers and
taking part in discussions pertaining to
agriculture, education, and other sub
jects of interest to the public 1t is the
desire of the Board of Trustees and
Faculty of the College to bring about
more intimate relations between the peo-
pie of the State, and the College, and to
help advance the agricultural interests of
the State, by every possible means. 1t is
thought that the College Faculty will be
benefited by coming in contact with the
farmers and planters, learning their
needs, and gaining practical information
and it is hoped that the discussion OF
subjects pertaining to the farm may be
instructive as well as interesting to
both.
It is thought best to hold the six
Institutes of the present summer in
places widely separated in the State,
and therefore the Faculty will, for the
present year, accept such invitations as
will meet this end.
The Society holding the Institute will
be subjected to no expense so far as the
visiting members are concerned. The
only requirement being that the Society
shall provide place TO hold the meeting,
and take at least an equal part, either
through its members or invited guests,
in the discussion of topics. The meetings
will last for one or two days as may be
desired.
For further particulars, address.

The Mississippi Delegation Before the
River and Harbor Committee,
Aberdeen Examiner. l

. <1BSAAENA
The River and Harbor Committee of tbs
House of Representatives gave the Mis-
sissippi delegation hearing on Thurs
day last in reference to the appropria.
, tions for our inland streams. Col. Sing.
Teton urged that the appropriation for
upper Pearl River between Jackson and
Carthage, be so modified as to extend
the work to Edinburg, and the Com
mittee viii probably comply, and give
at least $500 for that division OF the
river. His arguments in behalf Of the
Yazoo and Tchula lake, were listened to
with great attention and q reasonable
appropriation will be made for those
| important waters, and the other streams
] that enter or bound his district.
Major Barksdale made strong argn-
ment in favor of an appropriation for
Big Black and it was very evident that
it was impressed with the necessity for
commencing the work of improving that
important stream. He also urged in
favor of work upon the Pearl both above
and below Jackson, and in behalf of the
other rivers that penetrate his district,
and his recommendations will doubtless
be respected.
Judge Van Eaton, strongly represent,
ed the claims of luwer Pearl river, Pas
-cagoula river and Bay, and the waters
in the vicinity of Biloxi, etc, and was
assured that his recommendations
should have fair consideration.
Col. Muldrow, made al exhaustive ar
gument in behalf of the Tombigbee be-
tween Vienna and Fulton, asking that
the Committee allow at least $40, 600 for |
that work during the fiscal year COM
mencing July LIST. The Committee |
agreed to allow $40, 600 for the river be-
tween Demopolis and Fulton, but this
was not satisfactory to our Representa-
tive, who insists upon the appropriation
being so worded that $4,000 will fall |
to the division above Vienna, and he |
will probably get it. He also made q
strong fight for the re-appropriation of |
the $4,000 granted in 1882 for Old Town |
Creek, and not expended; and the
chances are in favor of the Committee
allowing it.
Judge Jefords appeard for district
that probably has as many navigable
streams in it as any in the United States,
including the Iazoo, Big Black, Cold |
Water, Sunhower, Deer Greek, Steel's
Bayou, Roe-Buck Lake, etc, etc. His
remarks were listened to with great in
terest.
Captain Muldrow, whose District like
that of Judge Jefords is full of rivers
and bounded by rivers, spoke earnestly
in behalf ofthem all, and particularly
zealously in favor of liberal appropri-
alton for continuing the work ON the
Noxubee. In behalf of this latter
stream he produced overwhelming tes-
timony to sustain its demands for re-
showing conclusively that it
was destined to be the source of great
relief and prosperity to the people of its
valley. He was assured by the Com
mittee that his demands in its behalf
should be respected.

the request Of the committee ia charge d

view 70 the erecting in the Hall Of suitable
mural tablets TO their memory.
By printed circulars, BY letters accom-
panied BY 3 list Of the students from ths
locality, to the several counties in the
State. and by personal interrogatories.
lave persisted in the work until now, when
think il is very nearly complete a. 70
North Carolina students. As 10 those
from other States. regret to say it is Ia
mentally incomplete.
The roll is intended not to be confined
to graduates only, but to include all who
we're at any time students at the Universe
~, and now contains 224 names.
The tablets, Of the purest white marble,
Tour in number and about ten feet in height
and Of suitable width, will be given very
prominent places in the Hall and visible
from every part of it. The names, one
name in q line with rank in service, will
be placed upon the tablets aec0rding 10 the
dates of entrance into the University,
those Of each year being placed alphabet
ically. In rank the names run through all
grades IRON private to lieutenant general,
and in date from 1921 to 1864.
OF course, it is very desirable that the
roll shall be absolutely accurate ii posi-
BILE: and my purpose in writing this note is
TO beg that you win publish the enclosed
list OF students at the North Carolina Uni
versity from your State, with the request
that the relatives or friends Of those who
we're killed or who died in service will
notify me OF the fact and OF the rank Of the |
student at time Of death.
In conclusion. / beg leave to say that
he information sought, to be available for
he purpose intended, must be had at an
,arIy day, as the work on the Hall has
