Moss Point, Miss, June |,

Moss Point, Miss, June i, lyVl.
Whereas: 1t has pleased the Supreme
Master Of the Universe to call from his
labors in the Lodge below, to the place
OF wages, r~efreshment and rest in the
s~,npendous Lodge above, our late worthy
brother. Past Master HORACE l.. HOWE,
BE IL. therefore,
Resolved That while bowling in humble
submission to the decree Of Him who
deeth all things for the best, we are
oonsoled in our great loss by the thought
that the example Of our late brother
long and useful life is a splendid heris
,ase to sl men and Masons. Truly, il
can be said Of him that he wore the
lsmhskin with pleasure to himself and
honor 10 the fraternity. Our brothers
Masonic life covered a period of nearly
fifty years, ~thirty-ive Of which he spent
in continuous membership in this Lodge.
He was its W. NJ. from the time of its
reorganization in 1867 and served con-
%tinuously until 1874, and for several
times thereafter. Few Masons are per-
mitted the enjoyment of SO long a per-
iod Of Masonic usefulness. He was an
able physician, a gallant Confederate
soldier and a Jealous public official, and
possessed all the attributes that make a
good mat and true. Be 1t further
Resqlvsd, That We deeply sympathize
with the relatives and friends of our
late brother, and tender to his sorrowing
son and daughter our heartfelt condol,
ences.
Resolved, That the Secretary transmit
q copy Of there resolutions to the aflict.
ed son and daughter, and that they be
spread on the. minutes of the Lodge and

TURPENTINE AND LUMBER.

In the Jackson Miss cores
pondeEce OF the N. q. Times.
Democrat occurs the following item
relating to the effects Of turpen.
tine bleeding upon pine trees as
respects their lumber value, which
will be read with general interest:
Some time ago a short account OF
the increase OF the turpentine indus.
try in Southeast Mississippi was pub.
lished in these dispatches, and it was
stated that the chief obstacle to the
almost indefinite extension OF this In.
dustry 10 that section vas the differ.
ing opinion as to the effect Of bleeding
the timber for turpentine. The large
mill men, who own immense tracts Of
pine lands, are generally inclined to
believe that the operation ruins the
timber, and for that reason It has
been hard for turpentine men to Sc.
cure leases from them. The Progress.
sive age, published at Collins, Gov.
ingtOn county, this week reprints the
report made by the governmental
division Of forestry relative to the
effect produced IN pine forests by tur.
pentine operations, which shows that
their value for timber purposes is not
affected In the least. After a special
investigation, involving mechanical
tests, physical and chemical analysis
Of bled and unbled trees from the
same locality, the department decided
that the bled timber Is as strong as
the unbled II OF the same weight; that
the weight and shrinkage Of the wood
are not affected by bleeding; that bled
trees contained practically neither
more nor less rosin than unbled trees,
the loss OF r0sin referring only to the
sapwood; that the durability of the
wood was not affected by the process
OF bleeding for %turpentine. For all
purposes the bled timber Is just as
useful as the other and will last as
long.
There can be no doubt that the
turpentine industry in the South has
been restricted, and its expansion re.
tarded, by the wide prevalence Of the
opinion above indicated; and II the
report OF the government analyst be
verified and generally accepted it will
mean quite an impulse to this indus.
try as an adjunct to the mill business.
We shall watch with some interest
the developements from the practical
mill.man'S standpoint.

LAND NOTICE,

June I, 1901.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1901-03-08

In furnishing a small fiat it is adj
visable to avoid massive furniture as
much as possible, as it is inappropri-
ate and far from artistic. Marvellous
things are done with the aid of car
penter, little ingenuity and few
pots of enamel paint. For instance,
as every one knows, round dining
room table is a tax on ones pocket
book and is certainly too desirable TO
be dispensed with. One can easily be
made of implanted pine by carpen-
ter and painted in the new shade OF
forest green, Or stained to initiate
Flemish oak, which will be quite as
pretty as one could buy, and the cost
will gladden. the heart. The legs must
of necessity be plain and unadorned,
but if the table is made very low the
effect is rather quaint than otherwise.
Hinged boxes, prim little seats and
sets of irregular book shelves can be
devised and treated in the same man
ner, and the effect produced by these
creations of ones brain and the car
penter's skill is far better than that
obtained by the regular products of a
furnishing house.-Good Housekeep-
ing.
