Reflections of a Bachelor

Every woman has her ideal, and
the most miserable ones have mar
ried them.
woman will still believe in man
when all the men know he's SO
crooked he can't lie on his back.
When you meet a man who claims
he never lies to his wife, it is sign
either that he is q fool or his wife
is.
A man-is never q true philosopher
till he comes to care more what he
thinks about other people than he
does what other people think about
him
When a man dreams of being out
on the street with no clothes on, be
feels almost as mortified as a woman
does after certain date when com
pany calls and the lace curtains
aren't down yet.

WhV Is ItP

Says the Kansas City Star: Yes
terday it was 500 sick soldiers lying
on the floor at Camp Mikoff for
want of preparation. The day be-
fore it was Spanish prisoners re-
ioicing in plenty while American
want of food. Has one man been
arrested, has one official reprimand
been issued, has a turning over ta-
ken place anywhere along the line9
The war was not that of any party.
1t was eYerybody's war. Did the
nation stint one million or ten mill
ions or hundred millions? Has
not the word been to use the limit
less resources of the country to whip
the Spanish? Did one man, one hu-
man creature, demand that the SOL
der should be an object of parsi-
mony, in food or medicine? Did
anybody ask that the soldiers should
be fed on hard-tack and salt pork
when there is beef and bread enough
for all? Was there a citizen in all
the republic who thought that eggs
and vegetables were too good for the
volunteers? Were there no canned
soups in the market7 Was it unpop-
ular to furnish sick soldiers ice and
milk? Did not the nation stand
ready to indorss every cent, every
million, if the soldier got it and the
Spaniard was whipped9

"TUFF YARNS.

Sun spun the following in his last iss-
ue:
A crowd was gathered around the
stove in DR.. 4. J. Halls drug store
last week when several tales we're re-
lated by Ogolona Baron Munchausens.
One gentlemen told OF having disco
ted O turkey that died from SOME un.
known cause, and In its gizzard was
found a dozen peach stones so COM
pacted the gizzard could not grind
them, causing death by inaamltion.
Another was a duck story. The gen.
tlemen bought some puddle ducks
and fed them a half bushel of peas,
then put the ducks In the half bushel
measure, and they did not Oil it,
although they had eaten all the peas.
Another told of a COW that had when
a ayearling got hold Of vest with a
watch IN the pocket and swallowed
1t. Seven years afterwards the COW
was killed for beef, and In the lungs
the watch was found uninjured and
still running, the watch being a
stem winder the action Of the lungs
kept it wound up and it had only lost
four minutes in the seveh years.

FOR OUR FRENDS COURTESY FOR ALL FEAR FOR NONE
sIsS1PPI, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 1S, 1s9s

in this section Is owned by a Chicago
syndicate (Of which Col. John B. Lyon
of No. IL Sherman street, Is the head
and has an annual yield OF 100000
barrels. These grounds embrace what
is known as Bayou Graveline. wherein
grows an oyster pronounced by epi-
cures and connoisseurs the finest in
the world, and known as the Grave
line oyster.
The numerous islands off the Gulf
Coast Of Mississippi constitute a nat
ural breakwater to the high waves Of
the Gulf, particularly In bad weather,
forming OF the entire seashOre proper
sort Of inland sea, here called Mis-
sissippi Sound. which, because OF the
protection, abounds with fish Of many
varieties, to.wit: mullet, mackerel,
shcephead, red Ash, trout, blue fish,
pompanO, and many other varieties
too numerous to mention, besides
shrimp and crabs in the greatest pro.
fusion. So much for the products Of
the sea.
The lands that border on the Mis-
sissippi Sound are rich and fer
tile and very productive. Vegeta.
blcs Of all kinds are raised here in
great quantities. and fruits, particu-
larly figs and pears, grow here more
perfectly than anywhere else in the
United States.
| Situated in the midst of this raw
material, Immediately on the Louis
vile & Nashville Railroad and the
Pascagoula river at its mouth, is the
town Of Scranton, which offers sites
and locations for factories unequaled
anywhere. Labor here is cheap, ant
altogether the ideal place for the es
Establishment of canning factories.
TRUCK FARMING.
Truck farming is now carried on ir
Jackson county to considerable ex
tent, the successful experience of the
past encouraging this industry moro
than any other. The soil is fertile
very productive and requires but lit
tie cultivation. Because OF the ex
tremely mild winters, farming is car
ried on in this section the year round
Because of the early springs and the
warm, moist atmosphere, near the seq
coast, gardeners are enabled TO put a
variety Of vegetables on the Northern
| markets ut such carly seasons as tt
command the highest prices.
There is no industry here, unless II
be canning factories, which offers a
more tempting field than truck farm.
ing, and these two industries go hand
in hand. Lands can be had here, near
the railroad, at reasonable figures.
N. B.-The Pascagoula Commercial
Club will not only take great pleasure
in furnishing any information on the
foregoing subjects (or any other rela.
tive to this section) but will lend their
active service in securing factory sites
or farming lands. Address

OUR NEW CONGRESSMAN.

The following sketch Of our con-
gressman-elect is taken from the Nat
chez Democrat;
"Hon. +. A. McLain was born and
reared on a farm In Amite county,
within few miles OF where he now
resides. He attended the common
school OF the ncighborhoOd and com.
pleted his education at the Uuiversi-
ty Of Mississippi, graduating with
distinction In both the literary and
law departments Of that institution
Of learning. For a while he taught
school at Liberty. He then visited
Texas where he remained for a time
and Travelled over the greater portion
OF the State. His love for home, how
ever, was too strong to admit Of his
staying there and he returned to Pike
county, Miss, where in 1879 lie mar.
ried Miss Fannie Tyler OF Magnolia,
whose father was the founder OF Ty.
lertown, a thriving village In the
eastern part Of Pike. After his mar
riage he returned to Liberty and en-
gagged In the practice OF law with the
Hon. f. A. Mcdowell as his law
partner.
"In 1881 he was nominated after d
spirited contest with the Hon. W. f
Love as representative OF Amite 10 the
Legislature. He served with credit
and ability, but being an aspirant for
higher hOnors 1888 he was the choice
Of the district, over four of the ables,
lawyers in it, for the position Of dis
trict attorney. This Office he filled
for three consecutive terms OF fou
years each, retiring In 1896. He wa
a member of, the constitutional con
vention of 1890, and has been fre
quently mentioned for Congress, but
was never before a candidate for tina
office"

QUARANTfNES-LOCAL, STATE
AND NATIONAL.
Editor Democrat stat.

Brutus' excuse for staying Caesar
was, "NOt that he loved Caesar less,
but that he loved Rome more" My
reasons for wanting national quaran.
tine instead OF State or local quaran-
tine is, not that fear national guam
antinc less, but that fear State and
local quarantine more. National
quarantine is frauRht with great dam
gers, too numerous to mention, but
great and numerous as they may be,
they are much less than what we have
recently passed through.
When Cain slew his brother, Abel's
blood cried to God from the ground,
and the cry goes up all over our State
aud Southland, demanding that some
steps be taken to relieve us Of injury
and wrongs done by the multiplicity
OF Quarantines, often, as we believe,
instigated by commercial competition,
even IL not vller causes.
Let no man, however wise lie may
be, think he has solved the problem.
Let all who think they know it all, at
tend the meetings Mt Memphis and
and New Orleans. 1t Is not all GER
tain that the Congress has the power
to pass and enforce matters that con-
cern the police power OF sovereign
State, but we hope that the Congress
will at least try to do 50. If the Leg
islature Of each OF our States would
pass laws inviting Congress to take
charge OF all internal, as we'll as exter-
nal quarantines, such acts would go
far toward making national quaran-
tine effective. l presume no man has
had a greater experience with inland
quarantincs than Col. O. NJ. Dunn,
J superintendent Of the Illinois Central
railroad, at New Orleans, and, being
a railroad man, 1t is to his interest
to be allowed to run his trains every
where, yet, In a talk with him last
week, he declared to me that any city
or town ought to have the right to
say to all the world, il infected, "You
shan't stop in our limits" and while
such towns ought not to be allowed to
send guards on the trains, or prevent
trains going through or even stopping
in their limits, they Should retain the
right to say no one should get of Of
such train, or stop and stay 10 such
city or town. This shows Col. Dunn
to be fair and reasonable man. How
ever, the Congress could incorporate
in its laws, the local rights. Early
this fall l wrote an open letter to our
Governor and board OF health, asking
that our coast people be allowed to
manage the Quarantines on our coast.
That right was not granted. Our pco-
pie suffered 50 much stand this year
that some go so far as to declare
against any and all guarantees, this
our sister States will not agree to, so
the best and only solution We can now
sec is through the Congress Of the
United States. We can only hope that
Congress may be able to solve the
problem. NJ. A. DEES.

EDtSON'S ELECTRIC CRADLE.

When Thomas A. Edison second
daughter was born his tech nical as
sistants 10 the laboratory al Orange
presented him with plans for cradle
intended to save Mrs. Edison much
OF the worry and trouble usually exper
fenced by mothers.
1t was an ordinary cradle with In.
getious devices for the child's conf
fort attached. Immediately above
the spot where the baby's head would
lie was q diaphragm, somewhat like a
telephone receiver. II the infant
should start crying, ut the very tlrst
wall communicating was established
between the diaphragm, and an elec-
trio clock. At the same time the
cradle was set rocking by means Of
small motor.
the rctnonstrance continued be-
yond a certain time the clock released
a lever and an arm attached to the
side OF the cradle (operated BY what is
called bell lerer) cagryihea nursing
bottle, was swung over the baoy's
mouth. -,
the walls continued another arm on
the opposite side swung over the
child's mouth with paree0rlc. At
the same time the electric current was
turned into set of niaguets placed
around the cradle any pin which
might be causing the trouble.would
be at once removed.
II the yells continued the "thlrty
third degree was applied. Two arms
lying fiat in the cradle under the
baby, were slowly raised and the
child turned over. Then an electric
spanker fastened to the fo0tboafd !

Undeveloped Industries.
And Would Readily Respond to Capitals
Magic Touch.

Because Of the abundance OF yellow
pine in the extensive pine forests sur
rounding this section OF the State,
and the facilities for tho shipment
and manufacture Of lumber, little at.
tention has been paid to any other in
dustry.
The result OF this is, that there are
many opportunities for capital and
labor to develop her industries, which,
because Of the abundance Of raw ma
terial, and many natural advantages,
would become institutions Of profit at
once. There are, however, three in
dustries, which more than any other,
offer to capital the greatest opportu-
nifty for profit, and these are;
First-Box, Spoke and Hardwood
Factories.
Second-Canning Factories, Fish,
Oysters, Fruit and Vegetables.
Third-Truck Farming.
1t Is the object Of this circular to
deal with these subjects under their
separate headings.
SPOKE, BOX AND HARDWOOD
FACTORIES.
The conditions existing at Scranton,
Moss Point and vicinity which render
these localities favorable for box and
hardwood factories, are the ship.

superabundance OF material waste
