A correspondent OF the Times.
Democrat writing from jackson says:
"A number Of versions have been given
the public as to how Hon. John M.
Allen earned his title, "Private," !"
which has clung to him with such per.
sistency for the past fifteen years.
One version has it that the witty ex.
Congressman appropriated the name
unto himself during a debate, and in
other stories several persons are
credited with Its authorship, but an
investigation discl0ses that the word
"Private" was first affixed to his name
by Capt. E. P. Thompson at a conven.
tion held in Corinth many years ago
for the purpose OF selecting a congres.
sional candidate. Capt. Thompson
was the chairman Of the delegation
from Monroe county and, on each roll
call he cast the vote of the county for
"John NJ. Allen, OF Lee" The oppo.
nent OF Allen in this fight was Gen.
Tucker, Of Chickasaw, his rank Of
Generalship being that OF a Brigadier.
Capt. Thompson finally grew tired OF
hearing the word General" prefixed
to fuckers name, and on the next roll
call he arose and stated that Monroe
county wanted to change its vote.
There was pause and much excite
ment followed, it being feared that
Aliens support was leaving him.
When the hubbub .subsided, Thomp.
son announced that Monroe county
casts her vote for Private John Allen,
Df Lee county" 1t has been "Private"
John Allen ever since.

To THE GULF COAST,

notwithstanding that the seacoast
OF the State Of Mississippi has been
settled for over two centuries, a very
small proportion OF 1t has ever been
cultivated. 1t has been inhabited
principally by two classes of people,
one resorting thereto for summer resi-.
dence and the other depending upon
the products Of the sound waters for
support.
Little attention was paid until Of
recent development to the natural fer.
tility OF the soil. With the increase
Of population the land is being cult.
vated with fruits and vegetables and
truck farming is a pronta BILE industry.
The rich top soil proving most pro.
ductivc with scarcely the necessity Of
artificial fertilizing. Farming will
eventually absorb all the vacant lands
when cleared Of timber, supplying
early products to be shipped 10 all
directions to points in colder climates.
The ease with which the soil Is here
cultivated is acknowledged by immi.
grants from the North and West
whose methods bring forth results
that give entire satisfaction. New
farms are multiplying between Grand
Bay, Alabama and Biloxi, scattered
over miles OF country into the in.
terror.
Western and Northern homeseckers
are settling upon this coast driven
South by the rlgOrs Of the cold winters
OF the North.
