certain that there were ties which
bound and kept them closely together,
not only here, but throughout their
wanderings in Virginia, and finally
into Kentucky, where the President
was born.
A pleasant feature of this visit to
the ancestral places of the Lincolns
was the call on Abraham Lincoln, near
Churchtown, Lancaster county. In
general appearance he is not unlike
his distinguished relative, having the
same large, erect, gaunt form and
high cheek bones. Mr.. Lincoln is a

About the middle of the eighteenth

She admired full-blown rose. Mad

The next day the naturalist brought
her to look at the same flower, which
was now dying on its stem. Without
word he showed her ligature made

the cause of the sudden catastrophe.

 The bride, preceded by the fower-girl, little Miss Clara Leigh Jones, of Holly Springs, Miss, carrying a great sheaf of white carnations entered with her father. Her bridal dress was of white crepe de chine, over white taffeta, trimmed with pearls. She wore a tule veil, fastened with diamonds, and carried lilies of the valley.
 They were met at the altar by the groom accompanied by Prof. Alexander Lee Bon- durant, of the University of Mississippi.
 The ceremony was performed by Dr. L. s. Handley.

 The bride is a lovely young woman, and though but recently graduated from school, has been one of the most popular of Bfrmingham's social set She comes of an old Virginia family, and it is interesting to note that she is a lineal descendant of Edmund Pendeton, who presided over the colonial convention in 1776, and drew up the resolution of that body instructing the delegates from Virginia to propose in con- gress a declaration of independence. Dr. Terrell holds the chair of modern lan- guages at the University of Mississippi, is a Ph.D, of the Leipzig university, and is widely known as a finished scholar.

Hester, of New or leans that out of an annual cotton receipt of one million three hundred thousand bales in that city over thirty-seven thousand bales were made up out of samples which had been ruthlessly plucked from the bales by the men who handled them which should have gone into the parishes of Louisiana" Not the least merit of the American Cotton Companys Rounlap bale Is that besides its other economies 1t pre- vents this unjust tribute from being levied on the farmer.
