Cure for the Grip.

An Arkansas editor says: eve
don't know much about the effect
of materia medica upon the hui
man system, but we did write, fill
and take the following prescrlp-
ton, which knocked the grip
higher than Gilderoy's kite:
"Four quarts of whisky into
which were dissolved tour ounces
of loaf sugar. To this we added
a teaspoonful of water and another
quart of whisky and placed over
fire and let boil sufficiently long
enough to boil out all the water.
We then stirred in a little more
whisky to cool it and gulped it
down without batting an eye. Do
this and when you come to, the
grip will be gone.

GULFPORT.
Gulf and Ship Island President Buys Nearly
the Whole Town.
Special to The Times-Democrat.

Special to The Times Democrat.
Gulfport, March s. -Following
the good news OF Wednesday
that the government contract for
dredging the channel between
Gulfport and ship Island harbor
was awarded comes the official an
nouncement that ]. Il. Jones of
Buffalo, president of the Gulf and
ShipIsland Railroad Company, has
purchased the interest and titles
of John Bryant of Massachusetts,
in Gulfport realty, which amounts
to about three-quarters of its
area and one-third of its assessed
value. The deal is regarded as
of the utmost significance to the
future development of Gulfport
and enhance real estate values.
Speaking of the proposed Gulf
port channel this evening, Cen
era1 Manager S. S. Bulls of the
Gulf and Ship Island railroad said
that while the government con-
tract called for only nineteen feet
of water, it was the company S
intention to secure twenty-siX
feet, and there would be no inter-
ruption in the dredging until it
was accomplished.
Referring to the rumor that the
Illinois Central Railroad IVES
about to purchase the Gulf and
Ship Island, he characterized it
as baSeleSs.

Down With The CT
garette.

1t seems that Prof. J. c. Hardy
is having some trouble in the en-
forcement of the anti-cigarette
law in the A. & NJ. College, as
eleven students including mem
bers of the band departed last
week, some of whom were dis
missed for direct disobedience to
orders Prof. Hardy is to be
commended for the firm stand he
has taken in this matter and If
there is young man who would
rather leave the school than give
up a habit that will counteract all
the good influences of mental and
physical training, then it Is well
for himself and the school that he
go. A young man whose lungs
are eiogged with nicotine IS
neither fit for a soldier nor a citi-
zen and a glance over the records
of our hospitals and insane asyl-
umns will convince anyone of the
truth of the assertion. Of all the
forms in which tobacco is used
cigarette smoking is the most
dangerous, because every bit OF
the nicotine goes straight into
the lungs and stays there. The
law governing the sale of cigar
cites and tobacco to minors
should be so amended and en-
forced that it would take this evil
clear out of the hands of small
boys. We trust that Prof.
Hardy will meet with grand sue
cess in this movement and we
know that when this is fully
accomplished it will bring addi-
tional|honor and credit to himself
and that grand old State institu-
ton.

He and Staff Recipients of Many
Social Distinctions.
Rode Horseback in Parade.
And Were the Only Southerners
Who Actually Participated
in the Event.

Governor, his military staffsand
the other mem bers of the party,
reached Jackson this morning.
From Capt. Raiford, who accom-
panied the governor and his staff
to Washington, it is learned that
they have been recipients of
many social distinctions during
their visit in Washington and
have enjoyed themselves hugely
since Monday.
Governor Longino and his staff
rode on horseback in the in
augural parade, beings the only
Southerners who actually partici-
pated in the event, although other
Governors of the South were in
the city during the event, but
did not participate in the cere-
monies proper. They were given
prominent position in the line
of march and their appearance
elected much comment.
Governor Longino was intro
duced to President Mckinney at
the inaugural ball Monday night
by Senator Chaunccy NJ. Depew
by whom the chief executive had
sent a special message that he de-
sired to meet Mississippi's chief
executive. On the following day
the Governor and his party paid
a formal call to the White House,
accompanied by several mem bers
of Mississippi's congressional
delegation and during the brief
reception President Mckinley
stated that the visit Of the gov
ernor and his participation in the
ceremonies was to him one of the
most pleasant incidents of the in
augural.
Captain Raiford states that
the inaugural parade, nothwith-
standing rain, was undoubtedly
the most imposing military spec
tacle ever witnessed in the coun-
try. He relates an amusing Incl
dent of the long wait for the
president to appear and take the
oath of office. The president
was nearly an hour late and dur
ing this period Washington had
three kinds of weather, sunshine,
rain and sleet. The ten acres of
people assem- bled in front of the
grand stand were noisy and tur-
bulent and immediately cried
down any person who attempted
to raise an um brella. While this
confusion was in progress Mrs.
WI, the wife of the Chinese min
lister, descended the longst to-
ward the stand where the high
dignitaries were to occupy seats.
She was attired i'll all the glory of
costume and her appear
ance caused the wlldestapplause,
which must have been rather
EN- barrassing to the Acknowledged
lady.
The Mississlppians also at
tended the inaugural ball in full
force and participated in the fes-
tivities. The mem ers of the
state delegation in Congress were
especially courteous in seeing
that the people fromthe Magnolia
State were well treated and that
they saw almost everything in
Washington worth seeing.
