country, Port Gibson il second TO

It's inhabitants. Many of Mississip-
pi's most wealthy cotton planters
owned homes here, and were known
far and wide for the liberal manner
in which they dispensed splendid
hospitality.
The names conspicuous in shap-
ing the earliest history of Port Glib
son are: Samuel Gibson, Daniel
Burnet, G. w. Humphreys, John
McCaleb and J. J. Person. Over
ninety years have passed since The
irst-named settler, Samuel Gibson,
obtained from the Spanish govern
ment at Natchez q grant of $50 acres
on Bayou Pierre. IL soon became
a prominent trading point for the
Indians, and was known as Gibson
landing. In 1903, by an act of the
legislature the name was changed to
Port Gibson, and it became the
county seat. The courthouse is
handsome one, and the bar here has
always had reputation for its able
barristers. Among them was Judge
Elicit, whose sad death occurred
while receiving President Cleveland
at Memphis.
In the business portion of the
town are a number of large and sub
stanlial mercantile houses, showing
a heavy and complete stock OF
goods. The bank of Port Gibson is
a large gray stone building of CORN
THAN architectural design, and was
established in 1884.

son, turned off the brakes on three
cars on the siding which were load
ed with lumber by Mr.. w. r. Selby
for G. Z, Houston & Co., Chicago.
1t being somewhat down grade the
cars gained sufficient momentum to
carry them on to the main track
whore they run nearly half way to
the section house before stopping.
A freight train due at this time was
stopped only short distance from
the loaded cars. While an accident
was avoided in this instance, those
boys who are permitted by their
parents to spend their time in idle
ness should beware Of engaging in
anything of the kind in the future.
The act Of last Sunday is a peniten-
tiary ofense, and the age Of the
boys would hardly save them from
the wrath of the railroad company
in the future.

the earliest conspicuous figure of

REGARD was born at New Orleans
in 1918. He graduated from West
Point in 1888, and was assigned to-
She artillery service in the regular
army, but was subsequently trans
ferred to the engineer corps. He
served with distinction in the Mex
lean war, during the course of which
he was twice wounded and as often
brevetted. He resigned in 1861 as
superintendent Of the West Point
Academy and joined the Confeder-
ate forces, and began the war by
. firing upon Fort Sumter, April IL,
1861. He was in actual command
Of the Confederate forces at the
battle. of Bull Run, July FL, 1861
