The south has other products besides these enumerated in the treasury reports, which not only the foreign world but the contiguous trade territory is un- able to utilize. Much of 1t is raw product which could be profitably handled if there were any means of getting it to the manufacturing cen ters. But there is not, and until there IS, the south must rely upon further increase of exports of the five products for additions to her wealth.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

There was very good attendance at the usual services of St. Agnes church. Each successive Sunday finds an in- creased attendance at this church new members come in and the older ones, being somewhat settled in thelr new houses find more time to fulfil their re- 1igious obligation, and again, it is evil dent from the presence of non-Catho- aics at every service, that the idea that only Catholics can attend their services, is being dispelled- It is with pleasure that the congregation sees fheir non Catholic friends attend, for At is thus that the doctrines of the church are known and false opinions, concerning her teachings are set aside.
 After mass the ladies' altar society met in the church. The older mem ders of this society were delighted to see some new members present After the usual business had been attended to. the preparations for the second annual fair, to take place during the week before Christmas, were spoken of at some length. The members have no doubt that they can make the fair cne of Mena's most interesting social events.

MRS. BYROD's MONEY.
It Will Probably be Largely Alb
sorbed by an Oakland Lawyer.

1t looks very much as if Lawyer De
Cola of Oakland is going to get the
lions share of the $4,000 left by the
late Mrs. Sarah Byrod. Her husband
was left out of the will, and he made
an arrangement with De Cola for con-
testing that instrument.
Byrod spent most of his time in jail
here, and it was generally understood
about the Court House that he shook
De Cola and transferred his case to
the hands of f. d. Ryan of this city,
with whom he was frequently seen in
consultation.
When the case got into the Oakland
court couple of weeks ago De Cola
was on hand to look after Byrod's in
terests, 50 was F. d. Ryan, While W.
w. Rhoads of this city showed up on
behalf of George Kelly, Byrod's former
jailer with an assignment from Byrod
of his interest to Kelly in consideration
of the latter caring for him "as a son
would his father"
The erratic ByrOd now repudiates all
the alleged assignments except that TO
De Cola, and even goes so far as to
declare that he never signed the Kelly
document. Nobody in Sacramento
doubts that Byrod consulted with all
the parties named, and it would have
caused no surprise here if a dozen more
persons had cropped up with creden-
tials emitting them to represent him.
The matter has been continued for two
