NEW RAILROAD INCORPORATED

NEW RAILROAD INCORPORATED
For some time past it has been known
that capitalists were interested in pros
pecting for a line of railroad through
that portion of Mississippi lying be-
tween the Illinois Central Railroad on
the west and the Northeastern and Mo-
bile & Ohio r railroads on the east. The
movement has resulted in the Cover
nor's issuing his proclamation incor-
poratiDg the New Orleans d Mississippi
Midland Railroad. The proposed road
is to run from point on the southern
boundary line of this State, between
Bogue Chitto River on the west and
Pearl River on the east; thence in a
ortherly direction through the coun-
ties of Pike, Marion and Lawrence,
Simpson, Rankin, Smith, Leake, At
tala, Choctaw, Winston, Webster and
Chickasaw, to the town of Pontotoc, in
the county of Pontotoc, State of Mis-
sissippi, including line from a point
ia Webster or Chickasaw county, run
ming in a northwesterly direction, thru
Calhoun, Lafayette, Tate and DeSoto
counties, Mississippi, and crossing the
northern boundary of said last named
county in general northwest direction
towards the city of Memphis, in the
State of Tennessee; and also a line
from a point on said main line running
north in the county of Simpson or
Lawrence to the city of Jackson, Kinds
county, Mississippi, or to point in
Rankin county, Mississippi.
The incorporators ara well known
citizens of New Orleans, New York, and
A. NJ. Nelson and M. Green, of Jackson,
Miss.
1t is expected that this new road
will pass through or near Monticello.
The next few years will doubtless wit
ness a vast amount of railroad build
ing and industrial development in Mis-
sissippi. Let the good work go on.

American excelsior is exported to

several thousand tons of the fiber be-

For all purposes of laboratory filter

business in manufacturing nothing
but filter paper.
An enormous quantity of old iron,

sea. During one period of - months
as much as $50 tons weight was
dredged up on the east coast of Eng

The use of pontoon boats made of

Home Instruction.

Were there insldious duties
lurking everywhere outside the
homes, the parental concern for
the children would be more emf
nently evidenced. Doubtless
fathers and mothers know their
duty to their children, but an APP
parent lack OF necessity for exer-
clslng their authority and fulfill
ing the requirements demanded
render them careless to the ex-
IRENE. The father realizes that
food and clothlng;and school ed
ucation are demanded from his
hand, and the mother sees that all
are cared for properly as far IS
the preparation OF necessities is
concerned. But too often here
the matter stops. The iunda-
mental preparation for the vlcls
STUDIES OF life is sadly neglected.
The school should begin In the
home. Here those who are most
capable, qualified by years of
close and intimate contact and Ii
tender love. should begin the in
structlon and continue 1t even
throughout the school life OF the
boy or gi4. Nor is the education
al instruction of the children the
only duty so universally neglect
ed or sighted. Parents send
their children to the Sunday
Schools for their first lessons in
morals and religion. They fre
not instructed in the home on
these most important affairs.
They would be shocked to hear
their parents lmpartlng truths
and advice concerning spiritual
attainment, advancement, or lite.
Sometimes even religious parents
| fail IN this imperative duty. The
boy learns little OF business life
till he is thrown unprepared upon
the cold, comparative world. His
idea of right, duty, and honor is
almost as limited as his expert
ence in business. He fam would
draw upon the teaching of father
or mother, but this he has re-
celveG only through his youthful
observation. He is consequently
lost at sea, drifting aimlessly with
out sail or rudder. Home in
strnction should never be distaste-
full, repuislve, or 100 eSacting,
BUTT should exist in every we'll
regulated home. The home
should be the most cheerful, most

Western Hospitality.


1.-The best thing about Baca
County" observed a friend recent
ly, sis the hospitality of the peo-
pie living there And in, the
last fifteen years | have not heard
more appropriate expression
concerning this delightful region.
What fine stock country!
How windy! The driest country
under the sun! and score of
other exaggerated statements
more expressive of personal pc
cuilarlty than truth are heard
quite frequently.
But when enter home on
these plains forget all about the
wind raging outside, and the dust
that fills the air, and the large
herds of cattle and sheap roam
ing over the prairies, and the
drought that threatens the welfare
of the stockmen. 1t seems that
the houses have a sort OF hospit-
able atmosphere lowering about
them, and the white smoke curl
ing playfully above the chlmneys
invites the traveller. whether
friend or stranger. to stop and
partake OF the delightful prepar-
atoms of our western firesides.
The welcome Is apparent as
soon as the traveller stops. "We're
glad to see you" And this is
never said in a. dubious or apollo
getic manner. The kitchen and
parlor are open to every person
who may chance to make his
abode with these people. whether
he remain an hour or week. In
the course of time this country
may be transformed into a more
populous' district, the large herds
may dwindle to. small ones. the
lack of rain may be supplied by
the irrigation plant or artesian
well;-but however it may be
transformed, may the delight and
cheer and comfort and hospitality
OF our homes be malntalne d
throughout all futurity.
