Mississippi has hundreds of thousands
of acres of tillable lands that are lying
waste, and need only little tickling
with the hoe by thrifty and industrious
people to mako them blossom with a
most generous yield OF their fruits.
Tho advantages of the great State OF
Mississippi are slowly but surely being
seen by people in distant States, many
Of whom are making their homes here
Mississippi extends berry welcome tc
all desirable settlers. Sho has thou
sands OF acres of the most fertile lands
on the globe from which a tree has not
been felled, and thousands of acres Of
open land, either of which class can be
purchased at most reasonable rates. In
fact when compared with the price of
lands in the West which are no more
fertile, the prices asked for the Missis-
sippi lands are ridiculously cheap.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.



Since Gov. McLaurin has decided t.
call conference OF the State officers
and Speaker McCool relative to an extr'
session Of tho legislature, many people
have jumped at tho conclusion that
this action meant unoquiyocally the
calling Of tho same. Whilo this may
be the result OF said conference, 1t Is by
no means certain that such will DO the
case, 1t depends altogether on what
kind OF showing can be made on the
revenues and appropriations These
will be tho principal questions discussed
at tho conference, and IL appears that
the receipts are likely to fall considera-
bly, under tho amount to be paid from
the treasury, thus producing a shortage
similar to that Of last year, thore is lit
tie doubt that this conference will de-
eide that an extra session is a neces-
sity. In the discussion il is presumed
that tho condition Of the capitol build
ing will also be duly considered. 1t is
getting in verse condition daily. The
roof in several places leaks badly, new
cracks are appearing, and whether
new building is provided for or not, it
will take several hundred dollars to
make tho temporary repairs necessary
TO render the structure habitable All
members Of the legislature have been
consulted by letter about tho matter,
and nearly every one has committed
himself on some OF the various PROPOSE
tions, including site amount the build
ing should cost, and as to whether an
extra session should DO called. A large
favored the extra session and
the concensus of opinion seemed to
favor building to cost $3.50 600, and the
present site The plans are all ready |
for structure to cost that amount, and |
II the legislature accepts the same it
noed take only few days-ffteeu at
the outside-to dispose OF all questions
likely to come before the session. The |
recommending these plans
MAS appointed by tho legislature, and
several members who have expressed
themselves on the subject say they are
Wiling to stand by tho commissions
conclusions. Numerous members have
personally inspected the plans, and
Without an exception they wero all
realty pleased with them.-T. NJ.

The Expenso Too Grent.

Under the head of state Finances
the Vicksburg Post says: THE greatest
burden of taxation consists in the i'm
mense sum, compared to the wealth of
the State, that is raised for the public
schools. About $1,5OO,O0 is expended
annually by the State and school dis
tricts in maintaining the present public
school system, There should be public
schools, maintained at the public ex-
perse, but the very serious question
arises whether the State is not going
beyond its means in tho matter OF pub
lie education. There might be some
retrenchment in this department. I'm
der the present judicial system of the
State an immense and useless expense
could be saved to the taxpayers by some
reform in regard to the trial OF petty
offenses and misdemeanors in the cir
cult courts"

Lum, accordin TO the records and the

The value of wives, according to the
estimate by New York jury, is going
up. An outraged husband, well-known
broker of that city, has just obtained
4 verdict for $4,000 against an equally
well-known physician, who alienated his
wife's affections. This was the fun
amount asked for, and is one of the
largest yerdicts ever recovered in such
an action. In Newark, n. j., suit is
pending of similar character, in which
the injured hus band asks for S1OO,O
damages. The revolver is going out Of
use in such cases in our higher civiliza-
ton.

Blew scrogEIns on the Road.

, - !. Ahh VI Aht Nbhbs
Which the same that puts me in mind
Of the time when Blew Scroggins started
out as book agent to sell family Bibles.
That was back there in the seventies.
The seasons had hit wrong, the crops
fell way short, and with the people
around Rocky Creek the mainest ques-
ton was how to put meat in the smoke
house and meal in the barrel and keep
the wolf away from the front door.
Consequentially, Blew he got to be the
general agent Of book concern and
started forth to sell family Bibles. But
Blew was like me with the lightnin
rods-he didn't make any tremendous
big sales to speak of, and after the first
round he laid down his hand and
| jumped the game.
Il wouldn't talk it out in public,
| Rufe, if you didn't know it already"
says Blew to me- but, to tell the truth,
| and nothin but the truth, the Scroggins
generation Of people never did build
any churches so fur as I know, and
what little they never have learnt in
regards to the Bible would fill a stavin
big book.
But you must keep it in remem-
brance, Rufe, that there was one more
plain case Of pushency, and the mainest
thing with me at that writin was to
keep the family washn out of the poor
house. So I braced up and went forth
as the general agent for family Bibles,
and by gatlins the next news / got l
had struck o snag and went down in
deep water.
First thing I rounded up over there
nj the old lady Hanson's place and sailed
right in to sell her a family Bible. It
was hard to tell from her first few scat
term remarks whether she would or
whether she wouldn't, but in the main
time she lit in and talked Scriptures I.
to me till hanged if I could even saw fo- .
certain that my name was Scroggins. +
THE dear old soul-she wanted to
know of me what I thought about this
man and that man, and this woman and .
the other woman, accordin TO reports
from the Scriptures-which of course I .
didn't know blessed thing about any
of EN-. But l lodged and hedged and
answered her questions as best l could,
Bkimmin over the rough places and .
trustin mostly to my niger luck. Well,
she caught me in two OF three rale tight
places, made me back my fool self up
Bgin a snag here and there and finally
at last she come out fatfooted and told
me | didn't know a mortal thing about
my business.
"Raley. Rufe, it did seem to me like
the old lady mought be somethin like
about three-thirds right about that,
p hereas ! went on back home and took
ont and forever retired from the book
business. And il the plan Of salvation
for the human race was dependin on
me to sell family Bibles, it would be
voc unto this lost and ruint world"
