Sad and most unexpected news Wa
received last week and brought SORROW
ard grief 70 this whole community. It
was the most horrible and terrific
tidines, namely, the assassination Of
Mr.. Charles Bossier-the noblest son
Of st. Tsmmany, Of whom this parish
WAS 20 Justly proud. The shocking
news Of this eowardly crime came upon
his legion Of friends here % thunder
bolt. In the very prime and beauty lot
his manhood, he was enatched from this
earth. Il cannot be realized that he has
been called away from M. His manly
form, his kindly face, has disappeared,
and those who knew him, esteemed and
loved him, will never again behold bin.
He was . practical Christian, consider
ate and unselAsh, = true gentleman, in
the full sense Of the word. The noblest
work Of God. May our Divine Savior,
in return for his young. promising life,
20 unjustly taken away, give him the
Eternal Crown Of Heaven-his Just
reward-is the prayer Of
A SORROWFUL FRIEND.

Fable" prints the following: Su-
preme Court Justice Charles G.
Garrison hied himself away from

xorkers aud fed across the country
with his family to Denver, COL,
where health-laden breezes blow.
Before he got away former Police
Justice Paul asked the learned jurist
what he thought of the situation in
the Philippines. His face lit up
with one Of his characteristic smiles,
and, lest he be misquoted, penciled
the following, which he entitled
"A Filipino Fable:'

Of the country. This 10 an impor-
tant event aud il 10 to be hoped that
il will mark the beginning Of . great
and profitable industry in the South.
For year, the agricultural depart
ment has believed the conditions
were favorable in certain Southern
localities for the profitable growth
OF ten, and urged that practical ex-
periments be made. The product

that il 10 said to have brought .

be . great triumph for the depart

CUTTING OUT A BAR.
And Improving Naviga-
ton in the chefuncta.

The long-standing menace to
navigation in the Tchefuncta river
il At present under process of re-
moval, and, it is expected that by
the end of this week the big 1000
foot bar which has oftimes pre-
vented vessels from entering and
frequently held them prisoners for
q long time lit is reported once,
= period Of q month"; will no lon
ger present itself in the form Of 2
danger and nuisance.
Some weeks ago Major James b.
Quinn, United States army corps
Of engineers for this district, let .
contract under his emergency prero-
gative to Raymond b. Scudder 9
Co., the well-known government
contractors, aod some four or five
days ago they set their big dredge
to work cutting a big channel
through the obstruction.
The bar is formed IN front Of
the Tchefuncta and extends out into
the lake for 1000 feet or more.
There is only about Eve and one-half
feet of water over 1t and , great
many vessels, steam aud sail, have
suffered serious detention and some
of them some small damage by
either being prevented wholly from
enterering or leaving or by being
stuck hard and fast on the bar.
The bar is . particularly annoying
one and presents difficulties in the
way Of dredging. 1t is formed OF
sand, clay and shell, and in some
places, is spparantly As hard as
adamant.
Tbs Scudder Company is using ,
double set Of crews, working to-
tai Of sixteen hours . day: the first
crew gong on at .. m, and
working until noon, and the other
going on at noon and working until
8 p. M; thus enabling = rapid con.
summation of the contract. They
are cutting through the bar q chan
mel le0 feet wide, with , depth Of
8 feet-amply sufficient for any
and all vessels plying the rche-
fuDcta, aud by tonight they an
ticipate that they will have COM
pleted the contract and given the
habituating vessels ample room for
ingress and egress.
This is . much needed improve
ment, which should have been It
tended to long ago, and for its sue
cessful accomplishment, Major
Quinn will receive the hearty
thanks of our merchants, business
men, mariners, and in fact : large
proportion Of the people Of our
Parish.

From Pearl River to

Editor St. Tammsny FARxRa:
Leaving Pearl River at 9:l5 on
July II, I had = very enjoyable run
ON onr great Northeastern Railroad.
Mira. Mary Abney Evans, Messrs.
J. J. and II. J. Willis, were fellow
travellers ~ far ~ Hattiesburg and
Stafford Springs. From thence l
took In the eights along the route,
aud was much pleased with the re-
markable thrift and business that
was SHOWN every ~here. Being .
little behind. We sped on so fast We
came near getting ahead Of time for
once. At Meridian, my nieces, the
Misses Welsh, met me aud escorted
me through that most beautiful city,
and had . delightful visit. Az
companied by Miss Nellie Welsh,
We boarded the train for Rustou, at
6:1O on the 18th.
Having resd 80 much OF oil the
towns on the N. v. Railroad, there
seemed to he = familiarity ~ the
names doomed up At the Depote.
Each seemed to vie with the ether
in life and bustle, all showing the
great pulse-beats Of the busy throng,
behind what little one could see bv
= passing glimpse. This was true
of all the towns on the Northeastern
Railroad. Though knowing 30 much
aud reading 50 often Of the great
Iittle-towns, / was mot prepared to
see 80 mnch enterprise aud activity
IS was displayed, and changes
made in come. Hsttiesburg was
impressive, with its substantial brick
buildings and fine appearance every
way.
When the train pulled up u
Jackson, this scribe could scarcely
realize that years ago che often
wandered in happy maidenhood
over that beautiful place and ito
surrounding red h,lls and delightful
suburbon homes But on We sped,
and every place seemed to bring
up old memories; but like Rip Van
Wrinkle, no one seemed to know who
was. Crossing the mighty Aissis-
sippi river at vicksburg was anovel
experience, and then back into
Louisiana and on TO Ruston.
Mr.. Editor, you will have to take
that trip and see the wonderful re-
sources Of our big State for yourself,
and then you would say ''ths hall
has not been told" Nor can it b
at THE writing. Later I will send
you some Chautauqua notes, which
may prove interesting 70 yonl
numerous readers.
Ruston is . fine little city, nestled
among the hills, and on the uT
grade in everything. The new rail
road IL being pushed forward. which
will open up some new resourcel
OF vast dimensions to this and Other
places along the route. The people
are happy, prosperous and pro
greseive. More anon.

factory in = novel way. The own
ers Of the sugar beet industry have
agreed to establish \ 81, 600, 900
plant there, provided the people Of
the county plant 5000 acres in
sugar beets for factory's consump-
ton. The company does not ask
any bonus or exemption, but merely
makes it . condition that 5000
acres shall be planted In beets for
which the people will be paid cash
when delivered to the factory.
The promoters Of the enterprise
are now asking farmers t0 come
forward and sign CONTRACTS stating
how many acres they will devote 70
beet sugar culture in order that
the necessary 5000 may BE- secured.
The result Of this project will be
watched with deep interest not only

ton 70 the South's agricultural and
