in which they were issued they became
an element of positive financial strength.
Adding as they did s450,OOO,OOO to the
circulating medium of-the country, they
stimulated everywhere enterprise and
speculation, and furnished means for
paying not only our soldiers and sailors,
but the army of workmen who supplied
us with the munitions of war. The coun-

A COAST TRAIN.

Petitions are being circulated and
numerously signed by the people OF
the Mississippi coast, asking Superin-
tcndent Marshall, of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad, to inaugurate
a coast train service between Mobile
and Bay st. Louis, similar to the coast
train that ran between New Orleans
and Ocean Springs, before il was dis
continued because of the quarantine.
The Mobile people have long wanted
an accommodation train to run be-
tween there and the Mississippi coast
points that would afford that city
equal advantage with New Orleans
for the people from this section TO
come in and do their shopping and re-
turn to their homes in the evening.
This action Is taken to allowsthe peO-
pie of the gulf coast to make their
purchases and do their shopping in
Mobile, instead of in New Orleans, as
formerly.

For the benefit of Mobilities who
send their families to the suburbs

would gladly sign for a train for the
accommodation of the men to be with

ask US to sign petitions for the pur-
pose Of carrying u trade into Mobile

tlrst-class merchants who spend all

but the oldest written constitution of
any nation in the world. The nation
al emblem and constitution of every
other country on the globe have been
altered in some manner since the
adoption of those Of the United States.
Our flag was adopted in 1777 and our
constitution in 1889. The Globe Dem
ocrat closes an interesting editorial on
the subject in the following approprf-
ate words: "That aspect of vulgar
newness which all Europeans and
nearly all Americans see in the Unit
ed States is entirely imaginary.
America is only the frcest, but it is, in
the essential features Of its govern
mental scheme, the oldest of the

Harry Il. Gibson paid the penalty of
his crime in the Jail yard at Mississippi
City. He was charged with the muir
der Of old man Parkhust and wife on
the night Of October q, 1897. The
attorneys of Gibson entertained hopes
that the Governor would commute his
sentence to life in the pcnitentiary,
but he refused to intefcre with the
mandate Of the court, and thus on the
above stated day one of most heinous
crimes yer committed in Harrison
county, together with Harry T. Glib

This being the first legal hanging in
the county, some fifteen hundred peo-
pie assembled to see the law yindi-
Gated. He died game, refusing to
make a confession.
