The Town Against the First
National Bank.

The case Of the town of Lexington
against the First National Bank lof
Lexington, relative to the condition
of the alley-crossing between the
postoffice and the Lexington hotel,
was heard By Mayor Pierson last
Thursday afternoon. After hearing
the evidence he reserved his decision
which he announced Monday, and
was that the bank was not responsible
for the bad condition of the crossing
at the mouth Of the alley, that the
grading of the alley to the rear Of the
bank building was done under proper
authority of the town, and in the
absence OF a positive agreement on
the part of the bank to restore the
matter removed, he could find no
or finance by which the bank could
be made to replace the same. There
fore the case was dismissed.
For failure to extend the grading
beyond the bank building, where a
steep and dangerous obstruction re-
mains, fine OF $15 was imposed on
the bank, with the requirement that
the said obstruction be removed with
in 10 days.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-George A. Coe,

as 1.-The Carpenter Prophet" which

decadence is pointed out as the result
of modern ideas. "Revivals and the

request of the railroads for further
time in which to consider the recent
suggested schedule on cotton goods.
A delegation from Vicksburg ap-
peared before the commission and
complained of alleged excessive
switching charges on fuel oil, and
the commission %thereupon cited the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley and the
Alabama & Vicksburg railroads to
be represented at the next meeting
in answer to the charges.
Representatives Of the Mobile &
Ohio and Southern railroads were
cited to appear at the next meeting
and show cause why they should not
be required to build a union passen-
ger depot at Corinth.
A schedule of rates on home man.
ufactures, boilers, machinery and
clothing was submitted by Commits
sioner Kincannon. These rates
were in turn referred to the railroad
company, with the suggestion that
if there was no opposition they
would be made effective.

Some Of the exhibits at the CO.
lumbus fair last week are attracting
much attention and comment, as IL
Illustrating the possibilities Of Mis-

fact that she has before her a great
future, both as a manufacturing and
an agricultural State. What can be
done with the soil of Mississippi
with well directed effort is we'll illus
trated by the exhibits from the farm
of l.. W. Payne, a very prosperous
farmer and horticulturist of Column
bus, on the Alabama & Mississippi
line. Mr.. Payne exhibited at the
fair eleven varieties of apples, two
OF peaches and two of pairs, all
splendid specimens of fruit, and all
OF his own graft, and these speci-
mems are taken from an orchard of
twelve acres. MI. Payne CRAFTS his
own fruits, and has been wonderful
ly successful as a fruit grower. Be-
sides this orchard he has a poultry
farm stocked with mammoth bronze
turkeys and several standard varie-
ties of pure bred chickens. Mr..
Payne's wife also had on exhibition
a number of varieties of canned
goods, grown by himself and put up
in tins by his wife. All of his ex-
hibits captured premiums.
Another exhibit still more inter-
esting in character was from the
textile department of the A. and NJ.
College, and consisted of two looms
run by a gasoline engine which were
kept in operation daily and which
turned out yards ofginghams, plaids,
domettes and fine madras cloth of
the highest grade. The madras
cloth was Of the quality which re-

yards of the cloth can be made from

celebration of the event.
Believing that one of the most
important functions of the public

genuine State pride, the State board
of education has fixed the 10th day
OF December, the anniversary of the
admission of the State into the Fed
Grated Union, as Mississippi Day, to
be celebrated by such suitable exer-
cises as the teachers may consider
appropriate to the commemoration
OF that important event and the
most prominent epochs in the his
tory Of the State. Speeches, recita-
tons and songs calculated to ac-
quaint the children with a knowl-
edge of the States splendid re-
sources and to perpetuate the mem
DRY OF the general material progress
of the State; the patriotism, trials
and sufferings of her people, their
triumphs and reverses. Especial at
tention, in the judgment of this
board, should be given to the mo-
tlves which actuated the heroism and
sacrifices of the last generation in
order that in the young and growing
generation the integrity and truth
Of history may be preserved, and
that they may gather therefrom the
inspiration and lofty principles
which taught the civilized world its
greatest lessons as to the real moral
strength and intellectual power of
modern times"

MENTIONED BY MEDICAL MEN,

In a recent address DR.. Kynsey re-
marked that he had known districts in
Ceylon depopulated by malaria, and he
recalled the fact that malaria stopped
the great Panama scheme of De Les
seps.
While malaria is not contagious from
person to person, it is, nevertheless,
advisable to keep infected persons
from healthy places, because they in.
feet the mosquitoes that bite them,
and these in turn infect other human
beings.
