Building Rail. Dads.

Hon. nj. A. Dees, foater from
Harrison ard jackson counties.
writes a letter to the jackson Clarion
Ledger, favoring the building of
more railroads. Following is taken
from the letter:
Away back in the 70s, when 4

in building The railroud from Mob,'e
TO New Orleans, we contractors of
ten travelled on the great Morgan
steamers that at that time piled be-
tween Mobile and New Orleans and

pi.ied us for being so foolish as 10
expect that railroad could ever
even compete with them, especially
in matters of freight, much less
drive them from the MisslssIpri
sound. That was only Twenty-Five
years ago, yet we now have penel-
alton OF men and woman wbo have
never seen or heard of the Moraan
steamships, except as q matter or

Memphis To Pascagoula, using the
Gulf and Ship Island railroad from
Hattiesburg down to about thirty
miles OF the coast, and then branch

Moss Point, would pass through the
following sites: fernando, Senato-

Chester Louisville, Philadelphia,
Decatur, Paulding, EllisvilIe, Hat

Scranton, and short branch could
be built to Bay st. Louis. This
route would pass through many
counties in our State not now
touched by railroads and through a
territory now without railroads wider
than any other place east OF the Mis-
sissippi river.

Antiquity Of tho Harp.

W. S. Macdonald, of Glasgow, In a
recent lecture before the Highland So
ciety Of London, traced the history Of
the harp from the shadows Of mythol-
ogy to the present day. It is, he said,
the first musical instrument on record
and was the principal one of ancient
and medieval times. All the skill and
artistic genius Of the Egyptians were
lavished upon its design and decora-
ton. The Druids first brought the tone
and pitch OF the harp to perfection. It
attained the height of it's favor in mod
ern times in 1919, when Sebastian
Erard of London brought it to the
front rank OF musical instruments. It
has been ~inseparably connected with
the traditions and lore of the Gaelic
people from time immemorial.

THE MAN.
Huge Watch Presented to . M...,y.

Huge Watch Presented to . Massive
Man In the Ice Business.
John Bevans, the big Smoky Hollow
Ice man, is six feet four inches in
height, and weighs 290 pounds, says a
Philadelphia dispatch. There does not
appear to be an ounce of superfuous
flesh upon his massive frame. His shoe
is seventeen inches long, and nine
inches across the broadcast part of the
sole. All the rest of Johns clothing 10
built in proportion. A number of his
friends the other day, in looking around
for a suitable birthday present, came
across a huge watch hanging in the
display window Of a pawnshop. In
quiry revealed that the watch was once
the property of Chang, known all yer
the civilized world as Barnum's Chi
nese giant. It was a hunting case, sill
yer affair, and as it was made es-
pecially for the giant Of the orient, it
must have cost a great deal Of money.
The timepiece Is five inches across the
face, about two inches thick, and
weighs a pound and a half. On the
inside Of the case are some Chinese
characters. Bevans is very proud Of
his strange watch, but he has been I'M
able to trace it's history. All that the
pawnbroker can tell is that it was
pledged by a circus man, who gave thu
name Of "Yopey."

RAMS HORNS.

The devil agrees with the moderate
drinker Who says he can drink or let it
alone.
When the leeks and onions of Egypt
are remembered. Gods mercies are for
gotten.
No matter what appearances may be.
the way God chooses for US Is always
the best.
Tt is. better to wear a clean dress Of
homespun, than a purple robe filed with
smallpox.
Some men stop talking nice in, church
about the time their wives begin to
clean house.
God is as much against a giant as he
is against anybody else. when the giant
is in the wrong place.
Nothing ear make US absolutely fear
less under all circumstances, except
knowing that God is with us.
David had so many heavenly melodies
In his heart, that he never had to call
for his notebook when he picked up his
harp.
It is likely that more sin and suffer-
ing have been caused by the overindul-
gence Of parents. than by the hatred Of
enemies.
To say that .tall things work together
for good to then tina love God,' means
that God can only give his children
good gifts.
The man who seeks gold is often dis
appointed, but the n who seeks God
Is sure Of a rich reward.
BY doing too much for our children
we often render them incapable of doing
anything for themselves.
A cup OF cold water given for the
sake Of Christ, is a great deed only
when 1t Is all that we "a give.
The way to be a true disciple. is not
to make q speciality Of looking for feet
to wash, but to do in Kindness and love
whatever needs doing.
