morning of the opening day OF the
South's great show, the Cotton
States and International EXposi-

and clear, atfording to thousands
of Northern visitors in the city a
sample of typical Southern Sep

on, the heat threatened to pass the
limit of comfort, but the buoyant
crowds on the streets did not seem
to mind the temperature and good
humor reigned supreme.
During the night the finishing
touches had been put Oh number
of the buildings and every effort
had been made to get the grounds
in good shape for the opening and
those who left the park yesterday
afternoon found this morning that
great transformation had been
wrought.

grounds there hoated the pennants

was in readiness for the crowd.

With the Independent.

Mr.. j. w. S. Clark, who has for
nearly one year past been in the employ
or Mr.. j. W. Hess, of this city, is now
one of the active members of the staff
of the DAILY INDEPENDENT. Though
it is not generally known to the people
of this city, Mr.. Clark is a newspaper
man of considerable experience and is
familiar with general reportorial and
special newspaper work. -Four years
ago he acted as reporter in the house of
representatives at Lansing, Mich, for
the Detroit Tribune. Previous to that
time he had acted as special Iepresen-
tative of the Detroit Free Press at the
exposition at New Orleans, where he
remained for nearly four months and
did some excellent work. He, there
fore, comes to the eINDEPENDENT as one
experienced in journalism, and has en-
tered upon the active duties of his

A New Proprietor.

Mr. Il. Franklin has succeeded Mr.
Jas. l.. CIayborn in the proprietorship
of the Nandalia House. Mr.. Franklin
is an eX-commercial traveller and has
only recently given up that occupation
to take charge of the hotel which is
now heing thoroughly overhauled
painted and re-decorated. The decora-
tiOn is in the hands of John Taylor and
G.. W. Khoons.
Mr.. Franklin has been connected
for the past seven years with the Cali.
fornia Cordial Co., of San Mateo, Cal.
and as an experienced traveller ought
to know just what is needed to make a
good hotel, He has secured five
years lease and expects to be ready for
business some time next week. The
INDEPENDENT extends to the gentle
man its welcome to the business circles
of this city and wishes him success.

As Viewed by Others.

Every city is little world within anC
of itself. The stranger who visits it fol
few days or merely passes through il
can have but very imperfect knowl
edge of it as we have of the moon when
we look at it through a telescope. We
see the man in the moon but we don't
know anything about him.
Thus we are compelled to believe that
the stranger, perhaps looking for some
place to investigate his means, a man
perhaps of hustling business proclivi
ties, with but little time at his com
mand will gain the first and lasting i'm
preston of city, by its geographical
location, its general appearance, and
natural resources.
The progressive business man, who
desires location, in the majority of in
stances is a man who has made his
wealth 10y taking advantage of oppor-
tunities that have presented themselves
in a manner that necessitates quick
action, and good judgment. a business

TKEOSOPHY.

y good audience greeted Burchman
Harding last evening to hear his expo
SitiOn of reincarnatiOn. Mr.. S. S. Fish,
county superintendent of schools, intro
duced the speaker, who said:
"Theosophy means divine wisdom,
and claims to explain the mysteries of
life; containing a complete system Of
evolution of the universe, as of man.
Reincarnation is the only way of un.
derstanding the soul. 1t makes clear
the first attribute of the soul, immOr.
tality. Until man is convinced that
his soul is his real self, he will never
mold his life and actions toward it's
conscience. Whilst the soul is myth
ical, the body becomes the more impor-
tant and its selfish desires are para
mount"
The Bible was quoted TO show that
Jesus taught reincarnation, and it
has been an accepted doctrine of tie
Christian church for over 800 years. To-
day this law is being rapidly
as it is vital to religion, and thinking
people everywhere are studying.
The speaker added: anyone read
ing the argument for reincarnation be-
comes convinced of its truth
This evening, at s o'clock, Mr.. Hard
ing speaks again at the South Ward
school, on Human Perfection" show
ing that theosophy contains the only
basis for right conduct. All are invited.
Questions are in order at the close of
the address.

FA|R GROUND FOR A PARK.
1t Is a Competitor for Publ Fa vor
and Has Some Excellent
Points.

It is understood that it has been pro
posed to sell the Fair grounds of this
cityto the city for public park purposes.
The public park question is fully before
the people and is receiving much mer-
tied consideration, and, while this is the
case, it is ne more than fair that all
promising competitors for public favor
should receive a full measure Of atten-
tion from those interested in this I'M
provement. Each location that has
been proposed has some special feature
to recommend it.
If it We're granted that the fair
grounds would be acceptable to the city
Tor use as a city park there is a ques-
tion as to whether it would not be bet
ter, if possible, to form a consolidation
of the fair interests of Marshall coun
ty, as set forth in Saturdays INDEPEND
ENT, and maintain these grounds fer
fair purposes But, if such consolida-
tion cannot be effected, it is believed
that they can be converted into a park
to great public advantage.
The Fair grounds contain about thirty
acres, partly wooded and very beauti-
fully and conveniently situated. They
are bordered on the north and northeast
by the Yellow river, beyond which is
some slightly broken timbered ground
that lends to the whole picturesque
effect and greatly enhances its beauty.
a bayou along the north boundaries
could probably, without great expense,
be converted into lake. There seems
to be no doubt that plenty of water
could be obtained, and that flow
ing wells could be utilized as
feeders to the lake to such an
extent that good depth of clear
water could be maintained through
the dryest seasons. The trees are
beautiful and afford an abundance of
cool shade on the hottest days.
Some objection has been made to
this site for park on account of its
distance from town but that objection
could be overcome, as could many
greater difficulties, if the determina-
tion had been reached to DO it. The
main difficulty of doing thing is in
once determining upon it but when the
matter is determined upon the fact of
realization ic half q ,pOm nlicha6 Maanf
Means of transportation would be pro
vided and park at the fair grounds
might be the first step toward the
building of street railway. And why
not? There is no doubt that, ten years
ago, an efficient telephone service for
this city and county seemed more
remote than street railway does now.
Many things may occur in the next
ten years to astOnish the most pro-
gressive and hopeful of us all.
