We have tried to gain some reliable
information in regard to the progress
of the track laying ON the Georgia Pa
cific beyond the river, but ii seems I'M
possible to do so. We have interview
ed several employees, all of whom tell
a different story. The latest, however,
is from the track layer himself, who
tells us that he is three miles with the
track out from the river, laying one
half mile per day, and is within one
and half miles of the graders, who
have three miles of the right-of-way
before them yet NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The community was inexpressibly
shocked yesterday morning to learn
that DR.. George o. Juny had died sad
denly at his residence about 6 a. m.
lie had been ill aud nervous and took
some morphine to quiet his nerves.
Not having immediate action he took
another dose, which proved fatal. Mrs.
Juny was cognizant of his taking the
medicine, but as DR.. Juny was a ply
sician, she attached no Importance to
his action. About 4 a. m. she discov-
cred his comatose state and DIR. Quin
was summoned, but it was too late.-

On Friday of the present week the
Georgia Pacific Railway will be COM
pleted to West Point, and trains there
after will be run regularly from Colum-
bus through to West Point. From this
city the work win be pushed forward
as rapidly as possible, to Greenville,
Miss, Its western terminus. AT present
the track layers arc about miles from
town, the bridge over the Suquaton-
chez having been sufficiently completed
to allow the passage Of trains.
We suggest that arrangements be
made to appropriately celebrate the
entrance of the Georgia Pacific in our
city. Surely an event so important to
the interests of West Point deserves
some such action.-- West Point Forum
Some of the alliancts in the counties
surrounding Meridian have been pass
ing boycotting resolution against the
business men of that city, but the al
liances of Lauderale county say they
have nothing to complain of and think
their brethren have acted hastily, and
without proper knowledge ofthe facts,
Unless the intelligent and fairminded
members of the Alliance put a stop to
this boycottlng business it will end in
the total destruction of the order
Some little fellow gets up an idea that
he has been badly treated by a mer.
chant and at once gets up string OF
resolutions and has them adopted by
his alliance, plcdging the whole frater-
nifty not to trade with said merchant
Alliances should always investigate
such charges before passing such reso-
lutions and in many cases will find
them unfounded-Brandon Republi

Last year we gave some account ol
the quantity and good quality of the
syrup made in this county from
sorghum. We are pleased to be able
to state this season that considerable
quantities of the finest molasses and
syrup have been made from sugar
cane. This change from sorghum tc
sugar cane was advisable In every
respect. In any ordinary season the
latter is as sure crop as the former
and there is no comparison between
the products.
Mr.. II. Ii. Hays, this week showed
us sample of beautiful syrup, of dark
golden color, very heavy and as sweet
and pleasant to the taste as it is posi-
BILE for any article of the Kind to be
From one acre of the cane he has mad,
five hundred gallons of this syrul
which he has had no difficulty in sell
ing to his neighbars at so cents gal
Ion, This rather beats cotton. Tn
machinery for manufacturing syrup
not expensive. The cane is easily cul
tivated and the process of maxim,
syrup simple.-Woodyille Republican
