AN ABUNDANT YIELD OF RICE.
Secured By Wilkinson County
Planter.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept. 23.-Rice culture Is
how attracting considerable atitl,.
tion among the farmers of MIssissIp-
pi, and a Wilkinson county planter
reports successful experiment with
Il sixteen acre tract cultivated this
year by means of irrigation, and on
which an abundant yield was Sc
cured.
In the hill counties experiments
are being made with upland rice,
aud IN some counties the farmers be-
lieve that they can make rice an ex-
cellent substitute for corn in drouth
years. There is some talk of build
ing rice mills capable of thrashing
out the crop of two or three counties,
AM the experiments made during
the past year show that from forty
TO sixty bushels per acre can be rails
ed on ordinary soil and with the use
of very little fertilizer the yield can
be greatly increased.

A Step In the right direction.

Recently young white nan travelling
on the Savannah Division of the South
ern Railway in South Carolina fired his
pistol out of of the coach window.
On arrival at the next station the con-
ductor turned the party over to the
agent who swore out warrant for his
arrest He was tried the following day
and fined ten dollars or in default of
payment to serve twenty days in the
chain gang.
While such occurrences as shooting
from car windows and the like are not
frequent. the agent and the conductor
are to be commended for their prompt
action, the result is an example that the
Railway officials do all in their power to
prevent rowdyism, and protect the feel
ings as well as the safety of their patrons
While the nisbehavior on passenger
trains in the South is now an uncommon
thing, yet dealing with same as above
cited OH the Southern Railway 60 q long
way towards maintaining the confidence
Of the travelling public and popularizing
the line.

to scare some friends who had told him
that ghost could he seen at night at Il
certain point He put on sheet and
went to the place to scare the boys. He
had only been there few minutes when
the real ghost appeared. This was too
much for him and he made tracks at a
two forty gait. a rabbit jumped up in
front of him and started down the road.
The fellow said "Pshaw, rabbit, get out
of the road and let somebody have it that
can run" He finally cut across the
woods and stumbled and fell over q log.
When he looked up there was Mr.. Ghost
on the other side who remarked, ''you
are something Of runner arn't you. -
THAT amt nothing to what Pm going

A Fierce Bull Dog,

There is a certain individual walking
around town holding one end of chain
while very ferocious bull dog is at the
other end. This dog is no lover of boys
and we have seen him make desperate
efforts to get to small school boys. We
suggest that it would be better for the
dog and safer for the children to keep
this dog tied in some secluded place 1t
is dangerous to have such dog walking
around the streets. He may bite and
forever dis6gure some innocent child. 1t
will then be too late to tie up the dog,
keep the dog soff the streets before he
does some one serious harm. a word to
the wise should be sufficient.

Another New Church.

TIE Presbyterian aggregation has
been contemplating for some time the
building Of a handsome and cOmmodious
new church. We understand from good
authority that it has at last been difnit-
ely. decided tosbuild the new church, and
that one will be built to cost not les than
Sic, 1000. With the Baptists to lead out
with an up-to-dSte modern edifice, fol-
lowed by the Presbyterians, it is about
time the Methodiats get their heads to-
gether and build them larger and more
modern church or enlarge and impove
the present structure in keeping with tie
development of the town.
