DELIGHTFUL TERTAlNMENT,

A number of young people had a
delightful entertainment at the resi-
dence of H. T. Allen last night. One
of the most enjoyable features of the
occasion was an auction sale" in
which the boys and girls were sold
to each other. The young gentlemen
were sold first and the young ladies
decided to put fair valuation on
and bid all each fellow was worth
in other words, to give their market
value, and the prices ranged from
$3.50 to SIT, which was considered a
good price. But evidently the young
men thought they did not bring their
real value and they retaIiated on the
young ladies by only bidding from
two to five cents when they (the
young ladies' were put up for sale.
1t is rather difficult to see who got
the best of 1.-THE young ladies bid
the real value and the young mon
didn't by several million dollars.

OH, THE BEAUTIFUL RAIN f!

Oh, the rain, the beautiful rain
1t has been a long time since any
was seen in this lection, but. as the
little boy said, it began to drip at
an early hour this morning and it
has been dripping ever since and the
prospect at 3 o'clock is that 1t will
continue to drip during the night.
The dust, the awful dust, had be-
gun to make one feel like he had
been in lint room a whole day. If
you were in lint room, dear reader,
you have no idea the feeling it puts
on man. 1t makes him feel like he
had a bale of dust, bagging, ties and
all, down in his lungs and that he
will die before he can say his pray
ers. But he don't and the prayers
go unsaid.
But this rain should not be forgot
ten. It is God send to everything,
excepting none, no, not even the
fishes IN Leaf river. 1t will make tur-
nips flourish like bay tree and it
will help the cotton and the human
and animal nature and the bird ma
ture, and we were as glad for it and
prayed just as earnestly for its COM
ing as we did while a boy blowing
the fields years ago to raise cotton
to buy niggers to raise more cotton
to buy more niggers. We prayed
that the land would become too wet
to pillow so we could ''take out" All,
the boy who plowed in a nsw-ground
knows all about it.
But the beautiful rain that is now
falling will help the man who has
"plowed his row" many years ago,
for he needs water in the atmosphere
to stimulate and cheer him, to cheer
his children and the calves and the
little chickens and the pigs and all
human and animal and fowl nature
around him. What Will make them
happy has tendency to make him
happy. Contentment produces hap
piness and while it is raining a man
should and can be just as contented
as if be were dead.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
What Has Become of the Effort to
Secure IT.

Hattiesburg is entitled to free mail
delivery, but it seems as if it would
be long time before the city
secures 1t.
A map of the city has been made,
the streets have been named and the
houses have been numbered, but no
formal application has been made to
the department, so far as the Prog
ress is informed.
Postmaster Pitts says the city
authorities should take the initiative
and make an official application and
that he is ready and willing torender
any assistance that may be IN his
power.
But one thing seems to be Lacking
the putting up of the posts and street
names. The boards, with street
names, have been in the city hall for
some time and the order for posts
was given long ago. They should be
put up at once, application made for
free mail delivery, when an inspector
VIII be sent here and will no doubt
report favorably on the matter.
Hattiesburg is sleeping on her
rights. This city is entitled to free
delivery and should have it inside of
three or four months.

BIG ENTERPRISES.
New Oil Mill and Cotton Compress
Rapidly Going Up.

The oil mill building is rapidly
going up. The seed house is about
completed and work on the founda-
ton is being pushed along rapidly.
j. G. Carley has charge of the con-
structIen and has about 75 hands at
work. Tracks from the Gulf and
Ship Island and from the Northeast
ern have been built on both sides and
when completed tho building and
tracks will cover about six acres.
Everything is being built in q sub
stantial manner. The time when the
plant will be put in operation de-
ponds on the time the machinery Will
arrive. The latest improved and best
machinery has been purchased and
it is expected to arrive ia November.
Seed houses are aso being built at
different points along the railroads.
The new compress building, which
is situated just this side of the oil
mill and near the junction of the
Pearl and Leaf Rivers and the Gulf
and Ship Island railroads, is also
going up rapidly. 1t will be a ire
mendous structure and is built to
stay. J. B. Falrchild has charge Of
this building and the compress will
be better prepaid than ever te handle
the big bales of cotton and press
them into smaller ones.
They are both great big enterprises
and the Progress hopes and believes
they will prove paying investments
to the men who are at the back of
them.

There was only one case before his
honor this morning. A fellow was
caught on the streets with bad

The Meridian quarters seem to be
