Missed a Good Dinner.

A doctor living in a certain country
town was VIGOROUSLY fond Of good liv-
ing. He had accepted an invitation to
dine with friends, but as he climbed
their steps he smelt venison cooking in
the kitchen next door.
The neighbors being also his friends
he resolved to drop in on them unex-
pectedly to partake Of the venison.
They pressed him to share their in
formal dinner, but when he refused
both soup and fish his host began to
apologize for the simple fare.
The doctor then confessed that he
was waiting for the venison, which he
had smelt as he came in.
"6h, that venison," said his enter
tainer, I'VE were roasting to oblige our
neighbors, who have a dinner party
next door."-London Answers.
Yawns of Wrath.
The singular habit Of s%ignifying an
ger by yawning is confined to the
monkey tribe and ts most marked in
the baboon family, though the Gibral-
tar apes also indulge in 1t. It is prob
able that the gesture is originally in
tended to brighten an adversary by a
display Of teeth, just as a dog does,
and that the constant wide opening Of
tho mouth produces an Involuntary
yawn. In fact If a human being
keeps on opening his mouth in this
way a yawn will result. If two
strange balloons are put together in
the same cage, they Immediately con-
front each other and commence yawn-
Ing, and If vexed or insulted by Wis
ators they will do the same thing.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the
/ legislature of the state Of Missis-
sippi, that the mayor and city
council Of the city of Columbus
be, and they are hereby, author
lied and empowered to issue, ne
godate and sell the bonds of the
said city to an amount not ex-
ceeding the sum of fifty thous-
and dollars per value, bearing
interest not exceeding six per
cent. per annum payable annu-
ally or semi-annually, as the
mayor and city council may by
ordinance provide, to raise mon
ey to complete its sewerage
plant, incfuding a stand pipe,
build a new city hall and erect
a new school building; provided,
however, that before any such
bonds shall be issued for either
of the above named purposes,
the mayor and city council shall
submit the question of the issu-
ance Of said bonds to the quail
fed electors of said city at a
special election to be held upon
the question of, for or against
the issuance of said bonds; and
said bonds shall not be sold for
less than their par or face value.
IF said election shall result by
two thirds vote of the qualified
electors of said city voting at
said election, in favor of the is
suance Of said bonds, as shown
by the order or judgment of said
mayor and city council entered
upon their minutes this shall be

failed to understand it, but that
such is a fact no one, not even
the management of the opera
house, viii deny. For instance,
on next Monday night there is
to be a performance at the opera
house in this city, the admission
to which is S15O, S1.O0, Toe and
5Oc. The same company played
in another Mississippi town
Tuesday night and the prices
were 25c to ST 90, or about one
half less than the Columbus peO-
pie are called upon to pay, and
this is not the first time. 1t is
now, it seems, the custom of the
management Of the Columbus
opera house to pick up all the
old slipshod companies that hap
pen along and play them, re-
quiring the public to pay the
same admission to witness their
vulgar contortions that is paid in
other places to see a first class
respectable show. The patrons
of the Columbus opera house do
not deserve such treatment, and
they should refuse to be 'neeced''
in any such way. The CONNER

these prices and publish d COM

THE Commercial has been re-
quested by a number of citizens
to publish the act of the legisla-
ture authorizing the City of Col
umbus to sell bonds for certain
city improvements, and in COM
pliance with that request the
same appears in full elsewhere in
this issue. By a reference to this
act it Will be seen that these
bonds are to be sold ''tO raise
money to complete its sewerage
plant, including a stand pipe;
build new city hall, and erect a
new school house building" A
part of the conditions have been
complied with and a part have
not. 1t is generally understood
that the city council will not
build the stand pipe, and it is for
the purpose of calling attention
to its Importance that this article
is written. First, 1t is clearly
evident that under the act author
izing the issuance of the bonds
the council is bound to erect the
stand pipe or violate the law, but
aside from the legal point of view
there is another moral point
that should be considered, and
that is the protection of property,
none of which is fully insured,
and a great deal of which is not
insured at all-our local banks
carrying a heavy risk, especially
in the warehouses and at the
compress, The trouble at the
water works for the last few days,
during which time property has
bsen almost entirely at the mercy
Of the ravages of the flames
should a fire have broken out,
has fully demonstrated that our
people are entitled to better pro
lection, either by the erection of
a stand pipe or a large storage
Since the act pro-
viding for the issuing Of the bonds
mentions the stand pipe, and in
view of the fact the cost for its
would be about the
same The Commercial believes
hat the council should at once /
nave it put up. Delay may mean I
rreat loss.

DDACTIC journalism is a thing
of the past, and The Commercial
has no desire to dictate to the
parents of Lowndes county OF
elsewhere as to what course they
shall pursue in the education OF
their children, but a little friend
ly advice on the subject may not
be amiss, and we wish to say re-
spectfully, but candidly, to the
parents of the young girls Of the
county that if they allow their
daughters to grow up without
taking advantage which the In
dustrial InstitIte and College Of
.fers them to secure a thorough
education at no cost, compara-
lively, they are making a serious
mistake, and one which both
they and their children will re-
gret in after years. 1t seems to
be the custom of many of the
Columbus girls to attend the col
lege for two or three years and
then exchanges the duties of the
school room for the pleasures Of
society and the enhancing mu-
sic of the ball room, even though
the pleasures that the social
world holds out are not so great
and lasting as are those which a
good education brings. To be a
scholar and have a thorough
knowledge of literature nos only
gives one the capacity to enjoy
to the fullest extent the works of
the best authors, but it brings
confidence and self respect. The
young women of Columbus have
an unusual opportunity to Sc
cure an education, and if their
parents want to see them happy
and prosperous they will see that
their daughters make the best
use of this opportunity.
