KANSAS SOLDIERS FIND MONEY.
They Are Reported to Have I'm
earthed Large Sums in LuzOn.
From the New York Times.


From the New York Times
Harold 7. Desmond, Englshman who
has been a merchant in Manila for the
last ten years, arrived in this city recently,
en- route TO London. Mr.. Desmond says
that one of the most startling things about
che war in the Philippines was the fact
that a great amount OF buried treasure
was found by some of the American
troops.
"No less than $4,000 was found in one
day in Pateros," said Mr.. Desmond, by
one of the Kansas regiments One man
found $780, one $1,000, one 81 200, and an
other $500 Several sums of $500 or $500 were
unearthed. one morning in the latter part
of April a find of $1,000 was made, ana
one particular corporal has made three
finds of $780, 500 and $780, respectively In
all, II is a conservative estimate that no
less than $4,000 has been dug up in Pateros
and other small towns. Ii is known that
in one building which a Kansas regiment
had occupied for three days, one man
found 81 600 buried under the floor. The
planks were torn up, and the owner of
the coin had evidently made an attempt to
secure it before being driven out of the
building Most of this money is in Next
can silver dollars, and must be divided by
two to meet its value in United States
coin. Some English and Spanish gold was
also found, and, l believe several $40 gold
pieces.
1.-THE statement I have made OF the
amounts found may seem exaggerated, but
| assure you that they were given 20 me
by the best authority-agents OF my house
who reside in the towns. one of my agents
wrote that most of the money was buried
i'm the ground, under houses, or cached
in stone walls. Some was dropped in els
terms and streams. The largest sum found
was $1,000 For obvious reasons, the
names of the men finding the money have
not been made public. They are not known
outside their regiments"

On Tuesday, June 18th, at 5 p. M,
Robert Watt, year and months old,
the infant son of Robt o. and Mrs.
Rachel Mclnnis, passed peacefully away
after short illness. This comes as a
sad blow to the Young parents; it being
their only child, and it's prattle and
smile having been the sunshine of then
pleasant little home; but we must re-
member that God who is in our midst

does all for the best, and while the deal
little flower has been snatched from oul

Picnic at ChurchwelI Ferry.

|
1e editor had the pleasure of attending
very enjoyable picnic at the Churchwell
Ferry on Chichasawhay river on Friday
June 9th. The site selected for the pic
nc was unquestionably n good one, we
doubt If any better one could be found
within the boundaries of the county.
Right on high bluff of the river on a
spot which was once an old mill site :;
great oaks with entwining boughs dotted
this ideal spot and made shady the entire
grounds. Meath these majestic trees
benches and other rustic seats had been
erected for the comfort of those who
cared to sit in dreamy enjoyment, watch
ing the passing to and fro of the picnick-
ers. In the arrangements of things moth
ing was forgotten by the committee. A
fine spring under the banks of the river
was made serviceable by the old custom
of boxing. A stand was prepared for
the speakers, and last but not least of all
one of the houses ON the grounds were
fixed up for dancing in one end, and in
the other free lemonade and refresh
ment stand was run for the benefit of
the thirsty throng. Dancing was the
main feature of amusement, appropriately
diversified by campaign speeches from
the candidates and the dinner-a word
about that. The spread that the crowd
of MI
take of was one that would do justice to
a kings tableLone that would tempt the
appetite of the most fasticious epicure
Edibles of all kinds were temptingly ar
rayed to tickle the palates of all. Now
for the candidates-bless their good
natured souls.
Mr.. White, of Biloxi, candidate foi
district attorney for this district, was the
first man to be introduced to the assem-
blage He presented his claims to the
people in a few well chosen words. and
made quite a good impression on hi,
audience by abstaining from all mud
Singing at his opponent. Fact is White
| IL INC cuolct Ol OTteHe county almost tf
man, not that they have any grounds
for opposing Mr.. Anderson, of Quitman
but from the fact that they like the way
in which Mr.. White has served them il
last few years and wish to re-elect him.
Dir. F. M. Sheppard, of Wayne county
and an aspirant to the State Senatorshil
from this district, next asked the atten
ton of the audience. He was followed
by our Mr.. j. E. Alderman, who is going
to be the next State Senator from thi,
district. Both discussed the various is
sues now before our people. We fount
them both on the right side. After the
detonations from the "big guns " hat
somewhat subsidized, several of the littl,
fellows ventured to fire off few charges
each for the advancement of his owl
canvass.
On the whole the picnic was a decided
success and enjoyed by all who Were Sc
fortunate as to be present; yet-pardoi
onr pride of honor-despite this it was
only foretaste of what we will have {
in Leakesville on July 4th.

Merrill Items.

Mr.. Editor-Thanks for paper receiv-
ed; it was the first copy of your paper
that have ever seen. ! think it quite a
nice paper, and the arrangement of ad-
yertisements and news matter very good
This section was visited on Monday and
Tuesday with a very refreshing and
much-needed rain, which has cooled the
parched earth and revived vegetation
| The farmers had become very Respondent
over the prospect of losing their crops
bnt | now sincerely hope that they will
recover from the effects of the long
drouth.
| wish to give a sketch of our little
town, Merrill. 1t is situated on the
banks of the Pascagoula river, which is
formed by Leaf and Chickasawhay rivers,
near their mouths. Nature has been very
liberal to this locality, and it is quite a
pretty place. All it needs is for some
enterprising capitalist to take hold and
build factories, which would be an en-
enlargement for persons to locate here
and increase the number of inhabitants.
1t is the terminus of the NJ. j. e. X. K.
r. The traffic over this road for its
length of miles is very encouraging to its
managers. There is a very good house
for travellers to stop at-the Allen House,
F. NJ. Allen, proprietor; there is also one
conducted by Capt Rabby and one by
Mrs. Breland; they all seem to be we'll
patronized. Messrs. Dixon and Mallett
have fine mill plant on the bank of the
river. The daily output of this mill is
about 80, 900 feet. Mr.. Dixon, the senior
member of the firm, is an old experienced
millman, and Mr.. Mallett is an Albanian
and young man of fine business ability
and full of energy. The firm has fine ia
cilities for handling their timber and
lumber in the way of transportation, both
by rail and water. The principle mer-
chants of the town are, Messrs. Thomas
& Co., and E. P Daughdrill; these gen
tlemen carry a stock of general merchan-
disc and logmen's supplies. The mem
bers of both firms are possessed of affable
manners. The postmaster is L. c. Helms,
who also conducts drug store. Mr.
Helms is man of pleasing address.
There are two turpentine stills in full
operation Il short distance from Merrill;
one operated by Mr.. H. G.. Turner, an
Albanian from the old historic town of
st. Stephens, and one operated by Mr. j.
J. Bexley, Familiarity known as Globe"
Mr.. Bexley is man possessed of much
push and energy, and has surmounted
many obstacles in the development of the
business he has just launched in. Their
prospects thus far this season are very
flattering. Mr.. Bexley is also engaged
in the logging business and is well
known by the prominent millmen at Moss
Point, which is the market for his logs
and timber, which he has for some years
foated down the Pascoula river.
We had a pleasant call on Saturday
from from Mr.. C. p. Eubanks, a member
of the board of supervisors, who was out
viewing the roads. l understand he is "a
candidate for sheriff and tax-collector.

Ye scribe also attended another picnic
at Big Creek, near the E. Rose still, OF
Saturday, June 10th. The programme
was merely repetition of that of the
one on the previous day at Churchwell
Ferry, viz dancing and public speaking
Besides the candidates, our old friends,
Shechy, from Merrill, and Mr.. Bullock,
from Scranton, took the stand in success
crowd by some very interesting and hum
orous talks. Some of the gentlemen present
found that they had some differences and
adjusted the matter to each others salts
faction by fair exchange of pugulistic
blows and counter-blows.
