Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1902-10-06

In Meridian the other day light
nlng struck and killed horse and a
hog belonging to an old negro man
who was standing between the
two when the fatal blow struch them.
The old negro was uamiured, though
pretty badly scared, and when he
returned to the house he told his
agsd wife that he could not account
for the fact that the lightning did
not kill HIM unless it was because in
his hurry be ate some of the feathers
of the last chicken he stole. AS
feathers are non-conductors of cleo
tricity he attributes his escape to
this fact.
Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1902-10-06

Some people are very much op-
posed to having the picture Of
Adelbert A mes hung on the wall Of
the Hall of Fame in the new state
house because that individual was
such disgrace to the state while it's
governor. That is very true, but
when history is written it is sup
posed to include every fact and every
incident pertaining thereto. Ac-
cording to the theory advanced by
these DIRECTORS the bible is wrong
because it mentions the name of
Judas Iscariot That individual
should have been left out for the
same reason advanced by those OPP
posed to the hanging of the picture
Of Ames on the wall Of the new cap
itOl building. Let the picture be
hung there-it is part Of our his
tory. q We could not help ourselves
when Ames was made governor of
the state and it is no reflection on us

were getting fifty cents per hour, but
