A lady of Brookhaven who has not
yet reached forty years of age, said to
her young daughter of fifteen recently,
"Why is it, your friends, Jane and
Lucy, never speak to your father or
myself when we meet them? They
seem shamefully lacking in courtesy"
Quickly came the rejoinder: "Why,
that is the style! They never speak to
anybody-you are behind the times,
mother" Verify, progressive age! A
woman of less than forty behind the
times" in matters of common courtesy
and innate refinement! This looks
portentous for the future. We would
remind our thoughtless young people
that much of character and nobility of
soul Is displayed in everyday polite
ness and kindly consideration of those
older than themselves. Mutual &C
acknowledgement of friends as their paths
meet along the highways of life, is one
of the cheering incidents of living, like
'the gentle dew from heaven" or the
sunshine and the rain, and should be
as spontaneous.

beware of Cough,

A cough is not disease but symp-

which are the most dangerous and
fatal diseases, have for their first indi-
cation persistent cough, and if prop
erly treated as soon as this cough ap-
pears, are easily cured. Chamberlain's

fully successful, and gained its wide

An Object Lesson.

On last Thursday afternoon In front
OF Seaveys store 20 gallons of blind
tiger whisky was poured out in the
presence of a considerable crowd by
Policemen Tom Crawford and Eugene
Mccormick, and the performance ere.
ated no little merriment among the
bystanders. This was the whisky cap
tured by Marshal Applewhite and Po-
liceman Crawford in the negro dens
raided the week before, and whose own
ers made no attempt to prove it was
in their possession for legitimate
purpose. 1t was destroyed by order of
Mayor Daughtry, as the law provides
in such cases.

Importance of the Texas Oil
Fields.

Referring to the discovery of oil at
Beaumont, Texas, and late develop
ments there, correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune presents. some
figures gathered from recent govern
ment statistics and compilations made
by theManufacturers Record as we'll as
some remarks on the general situation
The first three gushers brought in,
based upon one third the capacity usu
ally accorded them, produce as much
oil as 81 600 wells in the east. The daily
capacity of these three gushers is six
times the capacity of the wells in Cali
fornia, twice as much as the Pennsyl-
vania wells and one half the entire pro-
duct of the United States, and now that
there are five gushers and more con-
stantly coming in, some idea of the
immensely of this great addition to
the wealth of Texas can be realized.
The fuel production of the world
was about 37S,OO0 barrels daily the day
before the discovery at Beaumont. In
the opinion of many experts the
worlds production will be increased
100 per cent. before the close of the
present month.

MORE RAILROAD TALK.
Port Gibson Wants the NJ. j.
a X. &.

a. X. &.
Port Gibson has big job on its
hands in the matter of securing the
Mobile, jackson It Kansas City rail
road. Hamburg and Natchez are work
ing together to insure its going that
way, and Hazlehurst and Vicksburg
have entered into combine to get it
through that way. Now Brookhaven
and Port Gibson should unite. We
have the natural advantages, and it de-
ponds on whether we have the energy
to do the rest. 1t is said that this is
the only place on the river, between
Memphis and Baton Rouge, where a
deep landing could be. had on both
sides. To reach Vicksburg the road
would almost have to parallel the A. &
V. and the V. S. & p. roads for long
distance, while to reach Natchez it
would have to go far out of its line.
The Vicksburg route would also re-
quire an enormous amount of grading
which would be avoided to great ex-
tent, along the Port Gibson route.
Vicksburg means to do all in it's
power to secure the road, as will be
seen by the following which is copied
from the board of trade proceedings:
1.-THE first matter brought up was
that of the Mobile, Jackson and Kan
sas City railroad, President Wright re-
porting receipt of letter from Mr..
+. b. Merrill, president and general
manager of that road. Mr.. Wright
stated that in regard to this same mat
ter he had had it under consideration
for some time, but President Merrill
had been absent in Europe and only
found his letter ON arrival few days
ago.
"In the letter referred to Mr. Merrill
stated that it would probably be sixty
days before he would be able to take
up the matter of extending beyond
Hattiesburg. When the time for such
action arrives he will notify the board
of trade and be pleased to meet any
member or committee therefrom and
talk on matters with them.
at was agreed that President Wright
be requested to watch the situation
carefully, and be prepared to select a
strong committee to visit Mobile and
confer with President Merrill, if neces-
sary, without awaiting formal action
by the whole board"
Port Gibson must also send a com
mittee to confer with Mr.. Merrill
Such conference may mean a great
deal. The interest community man
ifests in such matters carries great
weight Let us have public meeting
at an early date and formulate plans.
