John D. McInnis' pet scheme for the
State to buy farm of its own and put
the convicts thereon it seems will ma
terialize it should. There are a
great many young white men and boys
in the State smoking cigarettes and
sowing wild oats who after a time will
have to be gathered in by the State,
and they should be given'a home on a
well conducted State farm. And these
cigarette smokers should lend Mr..
McInnis all the aid in their power, for
they do not know how soon it will be
before they will need home and the
watchful care of faithful guard to
keep them from committing suicide or
standing in the sunshine trying to
make a shadow-Hdttiesburg Progress.

This state of affairs is not confined alone

This state of affairs is not confined alone to West Cornwall, but in every part of our town, with perhaps one exception, our school houses are monuments of dis grace to civilized community. Not & single one of them have proper black boards, seats, teachers desks, etc. There are no maps; no globes, or apparatus of any kind necessary to properly conduct 8 school.
 The writer of this has in no way exsg- gerated the facts as regards the condi- tions of our schools. Yet with all these facts within their knowledge the back woods 'freemen" of Cornwall stand irre- vocably against all progression. When 8 person neGlects his moral duty it is 8 crime, but when 125 men of our town, who know better, stand pitted in the way of every attempt to educate the rising generation, we respectfully ask what are we to expect of the government of the future? Let us hope that Cornwall will see her mistake and 'ere too late place herself solidly upon the side of system of education that will mean the uplifting and the broadening of the minds of our future men and women.

Rev MT Becker, seemingly in accord with Palm Sunday, gave last Sunday in his morning sermon vivid mind picture of his ideas concerning "The Cruci- ixion." His imagery wss good and while he spoke slow, it afforded the con- gregation present opportunity to fill in figuratively speaking-what he failed 70 say. His sermon left Christ sealed in the tomb, with the soldiers guarding the same. Next Sunday, Easter, he prom ises to speak further from the pulpit up- on "Christ Risen, the Redeemer of the World.'

STEAMER lALPHA,

VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec. 10
News OF the worst marine disaster Of
the season in British Columbia waters
has been brought here by the steamer
Gar from Union bay on the east side
of Vancouver island.
The famous Alpha whose unauthor-
lied trip to Cape Nome last May
brought her into trouble with the treas
ury department at Washington was
wrecked on a reef near the entrance of
Union bay and not a vestge of the
steamer remains. Her managing own
err, the captain, purser, TWO engineers,
two able seamen and stowaway were
drowned and the rest Of the crew, 81
in number, were saved by the pluck of
an unknown member of the ships
crew who swan in a raging sea from
the wreck to a lighthouse with line
around his waist.
The Alpha was valued at $4,000.
The total insurance on the ship and
cargo was 5000. The Alpha gained
notoriety last spring when as Cana
dian ship she landed freight and pas
sengers at Nome in defiance of the in
structions of the treasury department
and it is said against the advice of the
British embassy at Washington as well.
She was chased on the return trip from
Nome by United States revenue cut
ter but managed to show her pursuer
clean pair of heels. Since that excit-
ing experience the Alpha has been en-
gagged in the British coaling trade.
