Prospect That Mississippi Sandbar May
CanTe LITIGATION.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August 21-Mr NJ
Nealis, a real estate dealer of this city, who
claims to be the owner in fee simple of the
sandbar in the Mississippi at this point,
was asked today what he would do when
the United States government appro-
PIRATES part of his property when
it cuts the channel from Wolf
river down along the Tennessee shore to
the elevators, as mentioned in these
dispatches few days ago. He replied that
he would resent any interference with his
property by the United States, or any in
reference coming from any other sources
He claims his title is legal and that his
acquisition is valuable, as he now has a
growing crop of corn on part of it. 1t is a
well known principle of law that forma-
tiOns, such as this, belong to those who
have land adjoining, but there is another
novel question in the case
A great part of the sandbar is where for
merly the building blocks on the Titus es-
tate stood. They were washed away, and
, this formation in their place, says a law
Yer, if it belongs to anyone, is surely the
property of these heirs. The Mississippi
river, by leaving the deposits of sand there
left with it a probable number Of endless
lawsuits, and the only way for an endless
amount Of litigation to be avoided is for
1t TO take the bar away by bringing cur
rent to play on it.

THIS LIFE rs WHAT WE MAKE IT.

Let's oftener talk Of noble deeds,
And rarer OF the bad days,
And sing about our happy ones,
And none about the sad ones.
We are not made to fret and sigh,
And when grief sleeps to wake it;
Bright happiness Is standing by
This life is what we make IT.
Let's find the sunny side OF men,
Or be believers in it;
A light there is in every soul
That takes the pains to win it.
Oh! there's slum bering good in all,
And we perchance may wake ii;
Our hands contain the magic wand
This life is what we make it.
Then here's to those whose loving hearts
Shed light and JOY about them.
Thanks be to them for countless gems
We meier had known without them.
Obi this should be q happy world
To all who may partakeit

NUMBER 43.

comes from the mill. There will
be no accumulation Of lumber at
the tail of this mill. The manager.
MIR. Secombe, believes in doing all
the grading and sorting as soon as
the lumber comes from the saws.
and he has followed out his own
plan in the construction of this
part OF his plant. The blacksmith
shop and the wood working shop
are both complete and do much Of
the work that would otherwise be
done abroad at considerable ex-
pense. The boilers are six in num-
Der, and have an aggregate capac-
ity Of $50 horse power. The
daily capacity of the mill will be.
$4,000 feet.
The planning mill, which was not
destroyed by the fire is equipped
with everything that goes to make
a frst-class planning mill of the
modern type and is supplied with
the new Sinner heads for making
flooring, ceiling, shiplap and sid.
ing. The side tracks and piling
room are not at all stinted as there
is lots of ground up there on
which to stack lumber. Side
tracks running from the Great
Northern road take in both sides
of the main track, so that loading
can be done either from the plan
ing mill or from the lumber yard.
The mill now has stock of TO-
600, 900 feet of white pine logs and
5000, 900 feet of oak. These logs
are all piled up on the banks of
the Rum river and ready to be
ffoated to the mill as fast as needed.
The Mile Laos Lumber company
is ready, Manager Secombe SAYS,
to compete with the best of them
anywhere in the country and the
fact that they can supply their
customers with both hardwood and
pine lumber is quite a feature in
their trade. They have almost In
exhaustible resources for taking
care OF their customers and stand
ready at all times to use these re
sources to the utmost if need be.
One feature in connection with
the hardwood lumber business
done by this concern is worthy of
nsideration to parties who are
looking for valuable and desirable
locations for manufacturing in
which hardwood lumber is the raw
material. The waste from a saw
mill Of this character cutting from
three tos.fve million feet of oak
lumber annually is no small item.
1t isscapable of a very valuable APP
plication in manufacturing furni-
tdre land other things wherever
hardwood is used. The Mile
Laos Lumber company stands
ready to offer splendid advantages
to an enterprising furniture manu-
facturer, or to any other manu-
facturer who can use this material.
Another thing that is of no
small moment in connection with
this business is the denuded hard
wood timber lands owned by this
company. They have large tracts
of land that are now open and
ready for settlement which can be
obtained on reasonable and advan-
tageous terms by parties desiring
good land for cultivation.

The Odds-Five Hundred to One.

In a radius containing 500 little
farms, on churning day 500 women
empty 500 cream jars at 500 tenn
peratures into 500 churns, and 500
small boys are kept from school or
other work to continue their hatred
Of the farm by 500 hours of labor
at those 500 churns. Then the
women work the 500 lots of butter
into 5000 little dabs, with 500 diff
ferent favors, colored 800 differ
ent shades of yellow and sold at
groceries for 500 different prices,
and yet butter-ma don't pay.
What is the sensible way to do
this work? Let the farmers come
together and start a joint stock
company, put up a factory, with
good butter maker and two or
three men to help him, and then
let those 500 lots Of butter be
brought to their factory and be
made up into one kind Of frst-class
butter that sells as a uniform article
at a uniform price, and then let
those 500 women and 500 boys go
to work at something more profit
able and something they know
more about If you can not get
a good butter-m maker, turn the.
creamery into. a cheese factory.
Anybody can make cheese or run

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is here. but has slight
suspicion of awkwardneSs by reason of
the unfamiliar natural conditions. The
genius that comes in the nocturnal
Lours. to leave the bountieS that gladden.
youthful hopes. revels i'll snow aud
moves on ice most nimbly. A Christmas
without snow is not unprecedented here,
but is unclimatic and not quite approved
as festive condition. Still, the occa-
sion does not call for the location of the
old fOrrb0ding adage that suggests fat
churchvard as sequence of abnormal
mldness of Christmas. The enthusiast
who thought he had seen 500 Christ
mas days. and the last was always
the best, would perhaps make
no exception were he in this
z, odly land this year. Christmas is the
one of all the legacies of ancient pagan
ism, remodeled and baptized in the
waters that have been stirred by q
divine life, that could be most hardly
spared. 1t is poem set to the best
music of life. The reciprocity of arti-
eleS that marks the day, the swapping of
presents, is but the outer expression,
the coarser phase. 1t is the reciprocity
