THE MISSISSIPPI JET1leS

Cost S5O,OOO.OOO, and Now Are to Be
Turned Over to the Government.
"The Eads jetties. in the South pass
OF the Mississippi delta, are now
ready to be taken over by the govern
ment," said Mr.. Estell McHenry of st.
Louis, one of the administrators of the
Eads estate, at the Raleigh recently.
The 20 years that the contractor was
required to keep 2G feet of water flow
ing through the South pass have now
expired. and every condition Of the
contract has been complied with. BY
the terms of the recent act Of Congress
the government may assume control
of the works by paying over to the
Eads estate the $5OO,OOO yet remain
ing of the contract price. This will be
done as soon as a purchase price for
the plant has been agreed upon and
other details cleared up. 1t is not like
ly that any obstacles will come in the
way of a final settlement, as it is pro-
vided that the price to be paid for the
plant, which is outside the contract
price for building the jettes, is to be
fixed by arbitration in case of fail
ure to agree.
"The Mississippi jettes are among the
most gigantic engineering feats of the
world. costing in the neighborhood Of
SoO,OOO.OOO. and making 26-foot chan
mel out of stream where there was
formerly but eight feet Of water. This
has made of New Orleans Il port for
the largest among ocean going vessels,
where otherwise only the smallest of |
craft could have crossed the bars.
''The Eads jetties, however. while |
they are up to the specifications of the
contract, will not meet the needs Of |
the future. They are already building
vessels that draw 80 feet of water. 1t |
is now proposed that the government
shall build jetties in the Southwest
pass that will make of it channel
with water for even larger than 3O-fOot
draught vessels. The Southwest pass
has now only about eight feet of water.

1t is a very great mistake to sup

Harry's visit to the old home-nook

Cotton and Prosperity.

There has been marketed in Ard
more this season something over
"a. 900 bales Of cotton. The price
has been good during the entire
season and this cotton has turned
loose in the territory tributary to
Ardmore sum not far short of
81 500, 900.
1t is estimated that the current
mortgages will amount to about
$5O0.000. When one considers
the big surplus which this leaves,
the prosperous condition of this
section is easily understood. A
sum in the neighborhood of 81
OO0,O00 distributed among the
farmers Of this section could not
but be productive of prosperity.
and the business houses of Ard
more attest the fact that the farm
ers have money to sperd.

The Thanksgiving Offerings.


Our public school superintend-
ent has shown himself familiar
with the ethics of the Great Teach
er in his management of the chill
dren.
Perhaps we realize but slightly
the important truthfulness of the
Savior's statement: Unless ye
are converted and become as little
children ye shall in no wise enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
The ways of little children are
not our ways.
You wrong a little child and it
truly forgives you, and loves you
just as truly and fondly as if you
had never done a wrong. and their
loving little hearts are always
touched by want or distress and
they will take of their own to
minister to others. This was
fully demonstrated in the public
schools the day before Thanksgiv-
ing. Under the direction of the
wise and kind superintendent they
brought money and food for those
less fortunate than themselves.
In all, $13 have been handed in to
the treasurer of the Benevolent
society. Besides there were gro
ceries enough to send quite a nice
box to each family reported and
have quite a quantity left for
distribution Christmas, or to fill
the calls of those in immediate
need.
Many, many thanks dear chill
dren. and may you live to give to
others fer many Thanksgivings to
come for. 1T is more blessed to
give than to receive" The sum
of $25, besides little provision,
has been given in through the
union service of the Christian
church.
Whatever else can be said of the
Christians of Ardmore it can be
truthfully said that they do not
forget the poor.
