Have you noticed that many of
your friends are patronizing Kellogg's
photograph gallery of late? They
have been quick to recognize the ex-
ceptional excellence OF Kellogg's new
style of work. Some samples of his
rich platino finish are to be seen in
his windows, and effects fully as good,
perhaps better, can be had by other
PATRONS.

Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me to say that
the article in your paper of Feb. 18th, '97,
signed by the name of I. ID. Morrow,
River Falls, Wis, was forgery. / want
the public to know / never wrote it, fur
thermore, Rev. Lawson is not overseer,
as stated by your correspondent. Mr..
Watt had no license from Presbytery to
preach, as they would not grant him one.
The church has no authority to keep
man under these conditions only from
one meeting of Presbytery untilthe next,
so that is the cause of his not being kept,
for his time expired on Oct LIST, 1896.
The following notice will show by what
power the church was closed.

and the last in 1916. Total for

from this sum should be deducted
g,36zz,zJ Of appropriations not
used by Governors Lowry and
Stone $4,000 for furniture at
different times, and 800 on
fencing and grounds, making ex-

estimate of $4,000 for minor re-
pairs in last thirty years, paid out

The largest appropriation was
in 1870, seyonty thousand dollars
Except during the terms of
Governors Stone and Lowry, it is
safe to say that the appropriations

In every community there is a

are respectable citizens and taxpay-

to improvements 10 themselves, but
they most strenuously object TO sihe

NO ST1TE HOISE

After a session of thirty-one
days and the expenditure of some
forty Thousand dollars, the Mis-
sissippi Legislature adjourned sine
die Thursday evening.
This extraordinary session of
the legislature called by tie gov
ernor tosprovide for the building
of a capitol has come and gone
and The chief executiye&by his
power of veto on the eleventh
hour defeated the very purpose
for which he convened the law
makers.
The capitol question will now
lay over until the next regular
session in January, and in the
meantime it is sincerely hoped
that the distinguished governor
will not fall victim TO the tumb-
ling rulns-the abode of decay
and danger serving as state house
for Mississippi.
