Madison, Feb. Is.

John j. Roberts, warden of the

Mrs. Bradley Martins pride in her
titled grandson, born to her daughter,

subject of much good-natured COM

regards the youngster as very supe-

lows the not uncommon custom in
large country houses filed with guests
of afixing a card ON each bedroom
door on which is written the name Of
the guest occupying the room. lit is
related in an amused way that during
the stay there Of Lord and Lady Cra-
ven and their infant son she caused TO
be affixed to the nursery door a card
bearing the inscription "Viscount Uf-
f1ngton," the title of the precious baby
Her alteration is so manifestly sincere
that the guests are polite enough not
to laugh at it.

other represented "Cuba Libre,
with Uncle Sam coming TO the aic
of tho Cuban army. Both OF
these elected continued applause.
A wave of enthusiasm surged
through the audience who gave
vent to their feelings in the Wild
est of cheers for Cuba Libre and
Uncle Sam. The affair reflected
much credit upon the institution,
its patrons, its preceptors and its
pupils. Prof. A. l.. Summer, of
Columbia, is a teacher of rare
Liability and a scholar of great learn
ling, and as principal he Is "the
fright man in the right place" "
That he is strict disciplinarian
we can cheerfully testify, having
at one time attended the Lumber
ton High School under his princi-
palship where we came under his
special attention for pugilstic as
pirations. His compliments made
lasting impression upon our
mind and we have had a horror
of pugilism ever since. OF Miss
Carrie Magness, the teacher of the
primary department, who comes
from West Point, Miss, we know
comparatively little beyond the
fact that she is deservedly popu-
lar with the public and the pu-
pills and the patrons of the school
and is recommended as being one
of the best primary teachers in
the state. Under the management
Of such teachers as these we con-
cur with the opinion of Mr.. Bilbo
when he said that "the patrons Of
the Lumberton High School
would see the day when it would
have within its portals students
from all over this state and Louis
lana, and would be one of tho
shining lights of south Mississip-
pi." That proficient corps of
musicians who compose the Pearl
ington String Band, furnished
some delightful music. And we
must not forget that our talented
Logtown correspondent was o
leading character in the concert.

week, May a. 1898, after linger-
ing illness of several months, the
spirit of Mrs. Cordelia Brown
passed away to find Rest and
II ace Eternal in the land of the
great unknown. The end, though
not unexpected, was n great
shock and sad in the extreme.
She was unconscious for several
days previous.
Mrs. Brown was born and rails
ed here, and everybody knew and
loved her. She was an active
member of the M. e. church of
this place and was associated with
every charitable undertaking in
the community. "AmiabIe, she
won all; intelligent, she charmed
all; fervent, she loved all; and
dead she saddened all F"
Hers was pure and noble ex-
Iamble of an ideal Christian life.
Gentle, loving and kind, the poog
found in her sympathetic friendl
a willing helper, and n good count
sellor. She was to her family as
the sunlight is to the earth.
The whole community mourns
for her. She had two brothers,
Hon. T. NJ. Favre and Capt. j.
A. Fare; one sister, Miss Louisa
Fayre, and one unmarried and
and three married daughters; one
married and two unmarried sons
who have thesympathy of a host
of other relatives and friends who
feel the lost very keenly.

Throned above
Souls like thine with God inherit
Life and love"

The Steamer Dial Planting There This
Week. --WiIi Then Return to Port
Eads to PILOT Ships Through
the Mines and Torpedoes

tuCEC1
The steamer Dial reached here
last week from Fort st. Philip,
La, where she had been for over
three weeks, laying mines and tor
pedoes in the Mississippi river.
In an interview with your report
er, Capt. Gray SAID: "We will be
here week or until Lieut.. Jervis
has completed his week at Port
Eads, when we will proceed to lay
some torpeloes in Rigolets, and
when that is completed we will
return to the Mississippi to pilot
ships through the line of mines
and torpedoes there"
The Captain was very sglad to
get back to Pennington, and his
many friends were equally glad to
see him.
The Dial on its way saluted the
Morgan Line steamers Gussie and
Whitney on their way to Tampa,
Fla. LOADED with mules and troops.
1t is the opinion of Capt. Gray
that the suspected Spanish spy,
John Watts, will be shot, as the
evidence against him is of the
most damaging character. When
arrested he was disguised as a
tramp and had in his possession
lots of photographs and drawings
of the forts, the guns, the torpe-
do cables and location of the tor
pedoes, among which were sever
al pictures of the Dial laying the
torpedoes, and $37 in money. The
reason why the court-martial has
been postponed thus far is because
of the influence brought to bear
in his behalf by friends IN New
Orleans.
Fort Jackson and Fort st. Phil
ip each will be equipped with pow
erful search light. The lights and
the electrical dynamos to run them
have arrived. If a Spanish war
ship should attempt to enter the
Mississippi she more than likely
will be made to "Remember the
Maine"

THE MISSISSIPPI sENAToRsHIP,
Uncle Anse Apparently Out With q
Lantern Looking For Himself.


Lantern Looking For Himself.
From the Vlcksburg Post.
Ii the governor of Mississippi is
looking for a worthy man to fill
the large place lately coupled by
WalthalI; if he seeks Il man learn.
ed in the law, full of the eruditior
of American history and politics
able, honest, devoted and fearless
he will find in this superb demo
crat and citizen of his state (Judge
Fl. S. Yam Eaton) the very sort of
q man he is seeking Or
leans States.
Why bless your innocent heart,
the governor of Mississippi is not
looking for that sort of u man to
fill the vacancy in tho United
States senate caused by the death
of General Walthall. The news
from jackson indicates that the
governor is out with u large sized
lantern looking for himself. Have
you not read his offer to the sec
rotary of war to resign the office
of governor, if the secretary will
appoint him to "lead" the Missis-
sippi troops2 And had you not
read of petition from Meridian
asking Governor McLaurin to re-
sign, and that Lieutenant Cover
nor Jones appoint him to the
United States senate?
The idea of Governor McLau-
rim "leading" the Mississippi
troops to Cuba, during the yellow
fever season, seems prepostcrous
when it is remembered that he
incontinently fled from his post
at jackson last summer when yell
low fever was reported at Clinton
ten miles west of jackson, and
lawless persons, were tearing up
tracks and burning railroad
bridges. Besides the governor is
not military man, and knows
nothing about leading troops.
The report came from jackson "a
few days since that the governor
would not appoint any citizen
soldier to the command of the
Mississippi regiments, because he
recognized the necessity of having
experienced men in command of
the two regiments from this state,
and therefore would appoint
United States army officers (two
graduates of West Point) to be
colonies Of the Mississippi regi-
ments. And yet the governor, a
tyro in military affairs, proposes
that Secretary Alger shall allow
him to "lcad,2,.-- the Mississippi
regiments.
However, the governor is not
a tyro in politics, nor securing
office. He is evidently now ma
king a political flank movement,
with the Meridian petition as his
reserve or rear guard, by which
he hopes to capture, not Havana
or Santiago or Cieufuegos, but a
seat in the United States senate at
Washington, place where yellow
fever does not prevail and quar-
antines are unknown.
