TO THE POINT.


A big lumber company will be
a new enterprise for Vicksburg.
The scarlet fever, which came
near to being an epidemic in Mag
nolia is stamped out.
Mr.. L. B. Tabor, who has been at
the helm of the Brandon News for a
number of years, paper always read
able and we'll printed, has disposed OF
the same to Mr.. w. S. May, late OF
Vicksburg. 4gM
The Aberdeen Examiner urges with
argument the selling of the. old state
house, the proceeds Of which to be in
vested in a state library, believing and
citing that the same would be a lasting
benefit to the people of the state, while
if the money was added to the state
funds would be of inconsiderate conse-
quence.
Miss Nettie Hoke, one OF the
Magnolia Gazette's valued at
taches, died from that dread dis
ease, scarlet fever, last week.
Miss Hoke was an estimable young
lady, and has many friends
throughout the state who mourn
her loss.
County fairs have been very
popular in Mississippi this year,
and have been the result of much
good. The Grenada Fair, this
week, was . grand success 6nan-
cially, andis a means for bringing
the people together with their best
products. and, as an advertise
lnent of Grenada county, Its ben.
efits are so far reaching as to be
beyond accurate estimation.

Turkey also Agrees 10 the Rebuilding
Of the Destroyed Missions Which
l. Considered More ImpOr.

Washington. April 25.--It can be
stated on authority that the negotiations
respecting the American missionary
claims are progressing IN the most satis.
factory manner. The state department
has received from Mr. Griscom. the
United States charge d'aiiaires. a cable.
gram announcing the porte has under.
taken to meet all Of the engagements
made with the United States regarding
the payment Of claims set up on account
Of the destruction Of the American mis-,
sion property in Turkey
II is not stated now when the payment
will be- made and IL is surmised that ow.
ing 10 the many obligations Of greater
magnitude pressing on the porte some
time may elapse before the money Is nc.
tually In hand.
The charge also confirmed the press
reports As 10 the publication by the porte
OF an Trade authorizing the rebuilding Of
the destroyed mission at Harput and
HarAm and the construction Of an an.
mex 70 the Robert college. the great
American Theological school in Con.
staniIuople.
This action q the Turkish authorities
Il regarded rs Of an Importance far ex.
ceeding the mere payment ~ 10000 on
account Of the property destroyed by u
mob.
Il amounts 10 the recognition Of the
right Of our missionaries q build their
schools In Turkey and ensures them
against what they regard as gradual
hut alsolute exclusion from the domains
Of the sultan. Under the Turkish law
buildings destroyed under the conditions
surrounding those at Hafput can b. re-
constructed only by special permission
Of the porte.
On the whole the officials here regard
Mr. Gusc0m's cable a. marking the safe
passing Of what might have been re-
garded as = critical point in the negotia-
tions and feel confident that m addition
o. this notable concession the United
States will secure all 81 its Just claims.

probably TRUE that the July dividend period
has confused the averages. IL Is only fair TO
infer that the position of the clearing house In
stitutions Is much stronger than the statement
indicates, for receipts have been heavy over
the past few days. The interesting feature or
the weeks operations is the decrease In the loan
Item, the reduction for the week having been
S. 57S 600. This makes total decrease Of
S7, 1876, 600 from the high point reached June
23d and there is reason to believe If the move
ments OF past years afford a precedent, that
the loan total will continue to decrease until
well into the fall season. The contraction OF
Sc 400, 500 in deposits Is not as large as called
for by the other changes. but Ii sets free
600 900 heretofore locked up In legal reserve
requirements and this accounts for the falling
Off Of only SI.27O. 800 In cash. The future
money market is rather uncertain. The loan
ing rate In view of the present condition OF sur
plus reserve is abnormally low, but there Is
a noticeable tendency to put out short time
loans. The expanded loan account can be traced
to investments In sterling and this means that
a rise in rates, should one occur. will be met
by liquidation OF foreign accounts and import
of gold But far from expectation on this
ground, attempts are being made even now 10
negotiate additional foreign loans. II is also
known that within the next few weeks receipts
from the Klondike will be transferred to New
York. So far crop season demands are con-
cerned, there is absolutely nothing to show that
money Is going west In fact the movement
Is the other way"

OF the trade winds The Spectator says:
THE southeast trades are almost as sure
I'm their operation as is the recurrence of

ing ship. once having been swept round
the cape of Good Hope in spite OF adverse
winds by the Irresistible Agulhas current,
usually finds awaiting her southerly
wind Sailors refuse to call 1t the first OF
the trades. considering that any wind
blowing without the tropics has no claim
to be called a trade This fancy matters
little. The great thing is that these help
full breezcs await the homeward-bounder
close down to the southern limit of mis-
passage; await him with arms outstetch-
ed In welcome, and coincidenuy with the
pleasant turning of his ships head home
ward, permit the yards To be squared ana
the course to be set as desired. And the
ship-like docile horse, who. after a long
days journey. finds his head pointed sta
bleward, and settles steadily down TO n
clinking pace-gathers way in stately
fashion. and glides northward at a Gil-
form rate. without any further need of in
