reported;
Many Connections 10 be Made.
When ii is remembered that there
are still 5000 sewer connections to
be made. it can very readily be seen
that If they are net made with more
rapidity in the future than they have
been in the past. that it will be a
long while before we get rid of the
cesspools.
As that part OF the city Eva OF

THE SOUTH'S PROSPERITY.

With just recognition of the truth that prosperity in one section of the Union should be cause of satisfac- tion to all, the Boston Globe com ments in congratulatory spirit on the great industrial advancement of the South now becoming so apparent to the world.
 'sThe South," remarks the Globe, ''is keeping pace with the general progress of the country, all things considered. In fact, the bank clear ings for the first six months of the present year show that in one respect she has done better than the Middle and New England States combined. The Southern States gained 13.7 per cent in bank clearings, while the Middle States report a decrease O 15.7 and New England fell off 5.1 per cent.'
 This is indeed, a significant showing and is necessarily accompanied by a record of commercial and industrial development that explains the nota- ble gain in bank clearings. The type of Southern business man and manu- facturer now in evidence is the purely modern type, evolved by conditions which demand the highest order of practical ability. Alert, enterprising bold on proper occasions, thoroughly posted in the details of his calling, he is upbuilding the South on the firmest foundations. The younger men of that section are admirably trained and equipped for success.
 Within the next ten years the truth that the South has taken a foremost place as commercial and manufact- uring section will be more than ever convincing. The Southern States have vast natural resources yet to be developed. The men now at the front possess the character and the skilled forcefulness necessary to such development. The attention of out side capital is directed to the South as | never before. It is safe prediction that no section of the Union will make greater strides in development along the best lines than will the South in, say, the first quarter of the new century Republic.

CUNNINGHAM SHOT.
Said To Be the Notorious Harry. Who
 Used To Be Here.

A special to the Paragould Sol iphone, dated July IS, from Maiden, Mo-, gives the following account of the shooting of Harry Cunningham, at one time notorious character in these parts:
 ''Last night about 10 o'clock a man by the name of Cunningham was fatally shot by Sam Blanton, who is night watchman for the railroad con- pany at this place.
 Cunningham and pal were footing freight car. Cunningham was watching the car from the outside while his partner was on the inside. The canvas under the transfer shed. Blanton caught onto the job and or dered Cunningham to throw up his hands. Instead he reached for his gun, when Blanton fired, shooting him ill the breast. Cunningham was alive at noon today, but his wound is considered fatal. He was shot through the body.
 After shooting Cunningham Blanton closed the car door and prevented the escape of the other burglar until help arrived, when the man was placed under arrest and taken to the city prison where he is awaiting trial on a charge of burglary and larceny.

JAMES JOHNSON MARTIN.

James Johnson Martin died at the home of his daughter Mrs. Geo. Sink. in this city Monday morning at g o'clock after an illness of about two weeks. The immediate cause of his death was congestion of the liver. aided by malarial complications.
 MT. Martin was born at Paris, Tenn. in the year 184O, and when young man moved to Memphis, engaging in the profession of book keeping, where he met Miss Sally E. Street, to whom he was married September IA, 1864. In 1879, while yellow fever was raging in Memphis, MT. and Mrs. Martin came to Arkansas as refuge from the awful ravages of that dread dis ease, locating at Bradford. Eleven years ago they moved to Newport. MT. Martin securing employment as book keeper for firm hero.
 Eight children were born of the union, four of whom are now living two daughters and two sons, one of whom is in business here and was as- sisted by his father.
 At the democratic primary last April, MT. Martin was one of the suc- cessful nominees for the office of ius- tice of the peace of this township, an office which he held for two terms before with great credit to himself and justice to everyone who had any dealings with him.
 He was a member of Newport Lodge No. 71, I. o. o. F., filling the position of permanent secretary which order will participate in the funeral ceremonies tomorrow as- sisted by Rev. o. c. Cline, a Christian minister who baptized him in the faith last May during the progress ot a revival conducted at the Christian church in this city.
 The bereaved family have the con- dolence and sympathy of the entire community in their sad hour of dis tress.

NEW POSTALS AND STAMPS.
The Mckinley Card and Thirteen
 Cent Stamp the Latest.

New postals have been in use in some of the larger cities since the 1st of July.
 The Mckinley postal is said to be one of the handsomest ever issued by the department. The portrait of Me Kinley, while satisfactory, is not all that could be desired. The eyebrows show too much shagginess and there is a turn to the lower lip which hints at a troubled or somewhat sad eX- pression which was not shown in the original. This however is said by the bureau experts to be unavoidable under the process by which the postal plates are made, which is just the reverse of that of making postage stamps, the speciality of the bureau.
 Opposite the medallion containing the picture of Mckinley on the new cards, i S one containing the figure of an eagle with outstretched wings and carrying in it's claws bunch of arrows and a branch of olive. Both pictures are said to be very fine and make the prettiest card ever pro- duced by the department.
 The new stamps which were to have been issued by the department about this time have not yet come out from the printers, and there will be some further delay. According to the custom of the department the en- tire series are changed about every ten years, but in addition to the reg ular series, a new stamp will be among the number this time, to be known as the 13-cent stamp. The object of putting this stamp out is to fill the demand for value cover- ing postage rate on a registered let ter mailed to foreign countries.
 The department has also decided that the portrait of woman shall adorn one of the new series of stamps but just whose picture shall be used is still question. It is given out that she must have been marriedl edlwoman, and in all probability the portr ait of Martha Washington will be selected for this honor.

organization of a company to drag the Ouachita river for mussels. The first process will be to search them for pearls. These valuable jewels are found quite frequently in the mussels from mountain streams. Then the shells will be brought to the city, run through crushers, and sold for paving purposes. This latter industry would pay the expenses of getting the shells, while any pearls that might be found would make handsome profit. Be- sides it is fact that the finest but tons are made from these shells, and factories would likely buy the output in whole from the pearl hunters.'

SUBSTITUTE FOR RUBBER

A series of practical tests covering a period of several months conducted at Austin, Texas, have demonstrated that high grade of rubber is obtained from Beaumont oil when put through the refining process. This discovery is to be placed in practical operation by the Gum Carbo company, with d capital stock of $1, 1,O0O,OOO which filed it's charter in the secretary of state's office in Austin Friday. Cotton seed oil is combined with the Beaumont oil in the manufacture of this rubber substitute. It is asserted that the discovery will revolutionize the rub Der trade of the country. The refn- ing and manufacturing plant will be located at Beaumont.

J. s. Jenkins, architect and con- tractor, of this city, is in receipt of proposition for a bid on a 15-stall round house, concrete foundation, turn table pit and coal chutes to be built at Hoxie, Ark. This confirms the rumors that changes will be at Walnut Ridge or Hoxie and that Hoxie is the place where the improve ments will be made. It also settles the question as to the magnitude of the work to be done at that place. h. stead of being big Improvements, it will be simply to accomodate the freight division which is now too long and will have little or no effect on the railroad interests at Poplar Bluff. The permanent improvements made here last year, including new 22-stall brick roundhouse, and the latest i'm proved turntables and coal chutes will not be cast aside but, from the information we have received, there is every indication that there will be some startling news along this line soon that will rebound to the benefit of Poplar Bluff. ff.-Sentinel.

A UNIQUE SENTENCE.

In sentencing a prisoner in the po- lice court at Fort Smith, Judge Freer said: ''I know you Brady. I want you all to come to Fort Smith and have good time. We want you to spend your money. Money is the root of all evil, but if you are always good you will be awfully lonesome, as my talented friend, Mark Twain, has had occasion to remark. While I extend to you an invitation to join us in any decent degree of happiness, you must not have any disorderly side dishes. The invitation does not give you the right to ride roughshod over anybody. I know you by repu- tation, and your reputation is not a recommendation worthy of note, by any means. l am going to jolt you to the extent of thirty days. You will probably have to cough real hard to bring up the amount needed. You will find the jail colony not so very select, but if you act properly you can become very popular therein and pass the time without winding up with a hand decorated eye or st;ffened iOintSD
