Capt. Samuel A. Dutch, an old Hand
mark of %Pascagoula, died Dec. 10,
1894, at the age of Sc years and 4
months. The deceased was born in
Frankfort, Maine. In youth he went
to sea, distinguishing himself In the
late war. In wal he was attacked by
asthma, and this disease carried him
to the grave. While a long sufferer,
yet he patiently bore the pains Of
another death-dealing disease with
Christian fortitude. He leaves a
lonely widow and a brother to mourn
his loss. Tuesday morning he was
buried by Rev. G. j. Broders, and a
large %concourse of friends, who ac-
companied the cortege to the grave.
Messrs. Chas. H. Hudson and Albert
Delcomyn are erecting a telephone
line from Moss Point to PascagOula,
by way OF Scranton. They will have
central offices at Moss Point, Scran-
ton and Pascagoula. and they sell the
instruments outright to the subscri-
bers for $500, and after the first
year the cost will be divided among
the subscribers to keep a boy at the
central offices. The advantages OF
being connected with these places by
telephone are we'll known, and 1t Is
hoped all our business men will be-
come subscribers to the enterprise.
The line is expected to be In working
r order in ten or fifteen days.
The result of the election of town
officers for Scranton last Tuesday was
a surprise to many. Mayor Altman
was reelected by four votes over Mr..
Geo. H. Higgins. Alderman S. r.
Thompson was reelected. The other
four Aldermen, Messrs. Irving P.
Delmas, Gins. E. Chidsey, Geo. J,
Santa Cruz. Geo. A. Matthew, are all
new men. After the first Of January
we will have an improved administra

QUESTIONS.

His Thirst For information Sometimes
Takes All tho Ginger Out Of q Climax.
The habit OF Representative Caruth
of interpolating some pointed question
and spelling a climax when members
are delivering a speech, as no did re.
Gently when he asked Mr. Quigg at what
period in history and in what country
gladiators were booted and spurred, had
a strong illustration in the Fifty first
congress.
Representative Dolliver of Iowa was
in the peroration Of an impassioned ad-
dress, in which he was picturing the
loyalty and devotion to American insti-
tutiolIs of sLndry immigrants. He was
giving tho house q thrilling and touch
ing word painting of the goodness of
these poor immigrants. declaring they
had turned their backs upon the mon
arch ridden countries of Europe to greet
the sun of liberty in their new home in
America.
II have had them sitting by my side
in my Office, he exclaimed, s'while l
was writing letters for them to their
old friends across the sea and to their
old homes, and they were shedding
tearS''-
At this point a strange voice from o
seat somewhere on the other side of the
chamber ohimed in. It was Caruth's.
What were they crying about?'' he
asked.
There was an uproar of merriment
all over the floor, and Mr.. Delivers
fine forensic effect was shattered by a
shout of laughter at Caruth's impudent

lie you have been renting a
house in the city, stop a moment
and think how much you have
paid out in rent, and if you have
been renting long you will soon
figure out that you have paid out
enough for rent to build as good
or a better house than you are rent
ing, and still you have no home of
your own. Why not put this
money intoa
HOUSE OF YOUR OWN,
in which you will feel a natural
pride, and have a permanent and
pleasant home for yourself and
family in your declining years. A
little energy on your part will do
it. Start at once by
BUYING A LOT.
If you are renting a farm figure
a moment what you are paying out
annually for rent and how soon
this rental would buy a farm here.
What you pay out in rent in two
or three years in Iowa or Illinois
would buy equally as good a farm
in South Dakota. Stop renting
and come out and buy a farm Of
your own and feel the independ-
ence Of
OWNING A HOME.
Don't delay this until next year, as
very much advanced prices for
South Dakota real estate, which is
sure to come, will soon prevent you
from buying, and your opportuni-
ty of a lifetime will be gone.
But many will say, Il have not
sufficient money on hand with
which to buy even a lot" Sup
pose you have not - and there are
many of this Glasgow can pay a
amount down, and we will
give you all the time you need on
the balance. You can pay a fixed
amount each month, or make pay
ments any other way to suit your
convenience, saving a little for the
purpose from your other expendi-
and before you know it your
lot is
PAID FOR
and you have not missed the mon
ey the amount of each payment
so small. Had you not saved
and expended these small amounts
in this way, the chances are that
same money would have been
expended in some trivial way and
you would have nothing to show

equal to a piece of real estate, and
especially if that real estate is

1t will surprise you when you

1ence or business lot in this city,
Or a beautiful farm in this county.
We own and control nearly all the
real estate which we handle, hence
