THE LUMBER MANUFACTURING

to any and superior to great many
places of much larger pretensions
There are seven mills for manufac-

the vicinity Of the place. The

& Money own one of the finest
bodies of pine tin Der in tire country
with a narrow gauge railroad and

distance Of eight miles east and
there is probability that the road
will be extended to Pearl River.
The "Natchez, Bogue Chitto and
Ship Island Railroad" will possibly
become a fixel fact in the near
future, though it may take a differ

the value of property in and around
Bogue Chitto is increasing daily
The corporate limits of the town in
cIude about mile square. There are
some very nice residences and very
fine sites for many more.
THE SCHOOL FACILITIES
are fine. Mr.. Young is teaching a
private school for BOYS and girls and
gives universal satisfaction.
CHURCHES AND SOCIETIES.
There are two churches-one
white { Methodist) and one colored
(Baptist), one Masonic and town
hall. I. II Curtis, Esq, is Mayor
md has held the office for mum,
Der Of years. In fact, the people
say they will have no other. The
board Of stlcctmen are DR.. f. A.
Thompson, Geo. Riehlman and b.

such an efficient board of Mayor and
fathers" the morals of the place
are we'll nigh perfect.
SOCIETY
is of an elevated type, and the peo-
pie live in harmony and quiet There
is general good feeling pervading the
whole community, and on the whole
we think that the corslusion of all
who come, is that it is a pleasant
place in which to live. The avenues
are open to all classes Of industry
and any enterprise will prosper if
backed by capital, energy and brains.
A new conner is sure to receive a
pleasant welcome, and there is
plenty of room for many more.

THE EXACT,ATTITUDE

The situation is Just this; The Republican
managers still believe there have been frauds,
but they do not know that they shall be able
TO prove them. They will follow the count
until the certificates shall have been signed
by the Secretary OF State, but they have only
hope, and not confidence, that the result may
differ from what 1t now seems likely TO be. In
this connection mistaken idea has gone
abroad that Mr.. Blaine is personally directing
The contest in this State, and that he is living
from hour TO hour In tho hope that the next
will bring him news OF his election.
This 10 all wrong. As he has stated In q
public telegram, he has been informed OF tue
belief IN election frauds In this State, and he
has appealed to the party managers to insist
on fair count. He has counseled no lltbus-
tering tactics In the hope of an eleventh hour
miracle. He has simply sought the facts. II
the canvass 10 concluded honestly, as 1t has
been thus far conducted, and II Mr.. Cleveland
isfound TO have plurality, Mr.. Blaine Will be
the last man TO nourish revolutionary sentl-
ments. He will always believe that he had q
plurality OF the votes cast In the State, but he
will acknowledge Us soon as any one the In
ability on the part OF his managers to estao.

THE NATIONS WARDS.
Annual Report OF the Pension
nl..n


Commissioner Dudley hos submitted his an
nual report to the Secretary OF the Interior. AT
the close OF the fiscal year there were 1872, 756
pensioners. They are classified as follows;
Two hundred and eighteen thousand mine
hundred and flftysix Army invalids, 75,S36
Army widows, minor children and dependent
relatives, 2,616 Navy invalids, 1888 Navy
widows, minor children and dependent rela-
tives, 3,S0S survivors OF the war OF 1917 and
1852 widows OF those who served In that
war. There were added TO the roll during the
year 35,413 pensions. During the year the
names OF 1875 were dropped from tho rolls
for various causes.
The amount paid for pensions during the
year was $56,90S, 507, exceeding the annual
value of pensions several millions OF dol
lars, which represents the first payments, gen:
orally in new claims, and known as arrears OF
pensions.
The Commissioner says that at the rate
claims have been filed for tho past few years
the close OF the year 1886 Will undoubtedly
show one million claims filed for pensions
since 1861. Since that year the total amount
diebursed 10 S67S, 3d6,S34.
Tho report advocates the adoption OF reme-
dial legislation by Congress which shall take
from the claimant some OF the burdens which
in their operation amount to a practical denial
OF his claim. The system OF special examine
ton Is spoken OF highly. The clerical force OF
the ofIice is highly commended.

1t was predicted by number OF wise nnsn.
ciers hero several months ago that In the
event Cleveland was elected or there was
squabble over the Presidency, like that of
1876, tho price OF real estate IN Washington
would depreciate very materially and very
rapidly-especially the market value OF resi-
denGes, on aceonnt OF me large number that
who have little faith In the powers OF the
Civil Service law to protect them
The prediction was a poor one and serves
for naught. For more than a week the Presi-
dency has been In jeopardy, with prospects ap.
parently fagoring the Democrats, and tho real
estate market has not been affected by the
suspense. CRITIC representative to-day iu-
quired OF real estate dealer whether he had
experienced any change in tho market during
the past week, and whether he expected any

had carried New York.
"The excitement the election accustomed
has, OF course, checked trade somewhat In my

have received no orders from those who have

those given months ago.
SO far The only effect has been to lessen the

Tho November returns TO tho Department of
Agriculture indicate cotton crop somewhat
larger than that of 1888, gathered In I'M
usually flne condition, OF good color, unstained
by storms and free from trash and dirt.
The returns OF the rate Of yield OF corn indl-
cate product somewhat in excess of eighteen
hundred million bushels, or an average rate
small fraction above twcnty-six bushels per
acre. The best yields are, as in 1888, in what
has been designated tho Great American Dos
