north of Tampa. We call the attention
of the people of our sea shore, in
which we include the people of Han
cock, Ha 'ison and jackson, to the
movement and suggest that steps be
taken at an early day to call the atten-
ton of the commission to the many
advantages offered by the waters OF
the counties mentioned. There are
bays, bayous, rivers and streams in
these counties admirably fitted for the
introduction of new varieties of fish
and replenish these which may have
been destroyed.-Biloxi Herald.
Mr.. j. I. james, of Minnesota, is In
the city, and in an interview informed
US that everything is progressing fa-
vorably in connection with the colony
of Northern immigrants that is being
established near Knoxville, on the L.,
n. o. 4 L. railroad. AS our readers
know, this colony is being placed by
the Mississippi Land, Loan and Invest
ment Company, of which Mr.. James is
attorney and agent. lie says that
three families are already located in
comfortable houses at Garden City, the
new town laid off ON the company's
property, and that there are also eigh-
teen heads of families now on the
ground, at work erecting buildings.
The company has erected an office
and is putting up twenty-five room
hotel that will be ready for use in two
weeks. Within the next thirty day:
ten more buildings will be completed,
including three stores, which will bt

Mr.. James says that he is expecting
eighteen more heads of families within
the next week, and that fifty families

On last Saturday morning at o'clocl
crowd of q dozen or more of tn,
young people OF Mayersville, (oursel
included among the number) starte,
out on trip to Greenville to hear til,
renowned Rev. Sam p. Jones preach
in anticipation of which event the rid
from here to Glen Allan, the terminu
of the Lake Washington branch road
through the cold morning air, was
matter of small concern in the mind
of those making the trip. Arriving
at Glen Allen we found that we ha'
nearly two hours to wait before th
train would start, we finally started
and fondly imagined that in an hou
or two would beat the end of ou
journey, but to our great dismay w
were informed that 1t generally tool
from 5 to hours to make the run, an'
it proved to be correct on this occasion
putting us in Greenville at half pas
ten o'clock. Considering that it !
only about a 80 mile run 1t was exceed
ingly slow time to be made by train
The cause was very evident however
there being only one train day ant
1t passenger and freight combined
| doing all the business, which at thi
time of the year is very heavy. w
finally got there however, just in tim
: to hear the morning sermon.--Spec
