THE PEABODY FUND.

A jackson special to the Times.
Democrat says: 81. R. Preston,
superintendent of education, has re-
ceived notice from DR.. j. N. L.
Curry. general agent of the Pea>
body fund, that the states of Mis-
slssippi and Florida had been re-
stored to the benefits of the fund.
For several years after the war Mis-.
slssippi received Its pro rata of the

the state would lot recognize and
pay Union and Planters Bank
bonds, of which Mr.. Peabody held
81 ZOO. 900, and was q part Of his be-
quest to education in the Southern
states. The fund yields about $780,.
W'O a year, and is distributed in the
southern states, as the general
agent sees proper.
1t will give the state six or seven
more scholarships IN the Peabody

Spare the advertisements aud

He is wise mau who taxes a

Whose loveth a good business

spitheth fame is aD ass.
A good advertisement is like the
merchants ships; it bringeth aoun'
cance from afar.
he that payeth for advertise

Every wise man advertiseth, but
q tool speculateth On the Stock

He that trusteth in large cIrcul"'

The smalles. circulation hath oft

A big advertiser leaves an inher-

A small advertisement Is better

There is no worse robber than a

the state to give their aid, in the
collection of birds to be sent from
Mississippi to the Worlds Fair.
Mrs. Vaughn, Of Natchez, who de.

in for the Mississippi Department
OF the New Orleans Exposition, has
volunteered to prepare the hand
soonest design in birds, ever seen in
this country, provided she can get
the birds.
In this work the men and boys of

can give valuable aid.
They are requested to send spec

to Mrs. Clarence Vaughn, "Clifton

answer any letters written to her,
on this subject.
Papers throughout the state will
confer a favor by giving publicity
to this request.-Vicksburg Post.
The ends may justify the means
in this case, but We hope the boys
will not slaughter any more of the
feathered tribe than is absolutely
necessary, as birds are becoming

''If subscribers order the discon-
tiauance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until arrearages are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and their paper ia sent to
the former place they are held re-
spOnsible.
The courts have decided that re-
fuslng to take periodicals from Of
fee before removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound 10 give notice to
the publisher at the expiration of
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
on and subscribers will lie respon-
sible until an express order to dis.
continue the paper with payment
of all ls sent to the publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can
