Washington, Dec, R.-tSpeciaD-Con- sressman Wiley has introduced an inn portant local bill in the House. the ob- ject of which is to authorize the Regis ter of the Land Office at Montgomery, in certain contingencies, to give certifi- cate to any person or said persons sue cessor who had recovered or who is en- titled to recover in the courts of the coun- try any lands which Included certain homestead entries made by settlers in good faith upon lands granted years ago by the government to aid in the coyl- struction of the Mobile and Girard Rail- road, whenever and wherever such per son shall. by deed of conveyance, sur render his claims, legal or equitable, against any such homestead entry.
 There has been for A long time legal imbroglio over these Mobile and Girard Ja1d grants. A large number of good people in the Second and Third Congressional Districts of Alabama innocently settled on these lands, paying all the homestead fees re- qured by act of Congress, and have made permanent and valuable inn provements thereon. It would be great hardship upon these people to lose their homes-the shelters over their dependent fsmilies;' but the Congressional enactment which forfeited the unearned lands orig finally granted the railroad company, opening them to bona fids settlers, and also confirming title to>eertain claimants. the Van Kirk Land Company being a principal cialmSnt had the effect of pre- cipita ting a legal battle between the set tlerS and claimants,

THE LEGAL STATUS.

The Supreme Court of Alabama and the Commissioner of the General Land Office at Washington respectively placed differ. ent interpretations en this forfeiture of land grant act. Under the ruling of your Supreme Court these claimants, 1t seems, have a better title to many of the home steads than the settlers themselves.
 The object therefore of Colonel Wiley g bill is to give relief to those defenseless and deserving people by providing that whenever the claimant in any caae shall surrender all his rights. titles or interests, or by deed of conveyance, he may there upon receive a certificate from the Regis ter of the Land Ofice at Montgomery au- thorfxing him. in lieu thereof to enter and take up a similar quantity of other public lands subject to homestead entry, This would appear to be happy solu- tion of this perplexing question.
 The distressing condition of this meri- torious class of his constituents appeals very strongly to Colonel Wiley's sympa- thes, and ever since he has been in Con gress he has interested himself in behalf of those settlers. He has at last de- vised this plan for their benefit and be- lievss it fully adequate to the end in view. With characteristic energy and alertness in the, interests of his constitu- ents, he will use every endeavor to get his bill passed.

The Meridian Star goes for the
country press with load of buckshot
in each hand and says that it cannot
see how some of the country weeklies
live on even the turnips now coming
in and the persimmons that will be
ready to pull later. There has been
an old saying that as rule a newspa-
per is what the town makes it. But
this statement has long since exploded
and will not hold shucks.. A news
paper is what the man behind it
makes it, Of course there are towns
that would not support any kind of
paper, and should not have any knid,
bnt this is not the case with some
other towns which have nothing but
badly printed sheet, the forms of
which look like they were made ur
with a shovel and the paper worked
off on cider mill. These papers
might be better, but. the owner, who
could not write an article fit to APP
pear in an almanac, hasn't the time
to give to the paper that it deserves,
having to attend to his law practice,
or rather continue the habit of tmeat-
ening TO practice law. All under the
sun he wants is free pass on some
railroad, and when he gets TO his
destination he has TO get his meals on
a credit, which is the same as free,
or put in an advertisement for the.
eating heuse for solid year to pay
for what he eats, and the proprietor
of the hotel is then cheated. There
are several men connected with the
newspaper business in this state who
would make much better pillow hands
and do their. country a greater service.

Jackson does not now know exactly
where to locate its proposed artesian
we'll. Locate it at the bottom of Pearl
rievr as near the business portion of
the city as it can be had. Then bore
the hole any depth desired and the
river will fill it with water, thus
giving the city the only artesian we'll
it will ever have. Here in Hatties-
burg overtiowing artesian wells are
located all over the city, there be-
ing twelve or fifteen of them, and
nearly all of them owned by private
parties. We have no certain place to
locate one-just pick out any old spot,
go to boring, and within a few days
there is an overlooking stream of the
purest water that ever came out of
the earth Unfortunately Jackson is
not so situated.

Now it is stated that Booker Wash
ington, jist like a niger, will enter
politics in Alabama without the least
provocation or excuse therefor Just
because he was petted time or two
on the back by Teddy he imagines
that he is the whole thing in Alabama
and will gobble up the latest office
that can be secured by the republican
party, which is not very fat consider
ing that the party in that state, like
it is in this, without head, heart,
hair or hide. But perhaps Booker ex-
poets to get consulship and be thus
elevated, in his own mind, could look
down with the most profound con-
tempt, upon those who have con-
tended that he could not solve the ne
gro problem along industrial lines,
just as it may be termed. 1t is very
sad to see such good horn spoiled
trying to make a negro spoon out of
it. The president has ruined a good
man and in turn this good man will
spoil many good field hand.

B. WARMERS TRIBUTE
SERMON AT SERVICES TO MEMORY OF
BISHOP THOMPSON.
Review of The Life and Work of the
Great Mississippi Churchman.

New Orleans, Nov. 24.-The Rev.
DIR. Beverly Warner paid tribute tc
the late Bishop Thompson at the II
O'Clock services that was as rare as it
was justly deserved, albeit calm, and
dispassionate, and freed from parti-
sanship. The services were through
out in memory of Bishop Thompson.
At their conclusion, DR.. Warner re-
ceived numerous and warm congratu-
latiOns upon his eloquent tribute.
His text was taken from the words
of the Apostle Paul, written to his
spiritual son, Timothy, towards the
last of his career: Il have fought
the good fight; I have finished my
course; | have kept the faith. 8"
These words DR.. Warner said, applied
with remarkable aptitude to the
career of the dead bishop.
He recited at some length the de-
tails of Bishop Thompson's biog-
rahpy, and gave critical resume of
his ability as a churchman and moral
strength. ''The American church, {"
said DR.. Warner, "has lost a truly
great leader, the diocese QfrmSIssis-
sippi, over which he p I'D, a
great bishop; the cause of IAN
ity great preacher, and who
gather this morning about the altar
which he once served, a loyal, stead
fast, loving friend -
DR.. Warner concluded as follows:
Hail and farewell, thou kindly
gentleman, loyal friend, preacher of
priest of God. "

Il love thee, love thee!'' But such
railroad scheme is not impracticable
nor is it improbable. If one will
take the trouble to- ascertain he will
discover that the proposed route is a
direct one, and there are millions in
it. 1t would put the grain of the
northwest on board of foreign ships at
Mobile and in return would put our
long leaf pine into the markets of the
great northwest. 1t would give
route not traversed by any other road
that from the northwest to the
southeast-as that now from the
northeast to the southwest.
This line has been discussed in the
newspapers for more than a year.
Not long ago the conclusion was ar
rived at that the road would go to
New Orleans, and was so reported,
but it is nearer to Mobile by Hatties-
burg, besides passing through such a
vast belt Of long leaf pine timber
The Frisco wants deep harbor and
it sees in the one at Mobile a posi-
bility that cannot be exceeded if
equaled by any other on the gulf
If it gets hold of the Mobile, Jackson
and Kansas City road it will have
only the gap to fill between this city
and Natchez, less than a hundred
miles.
The Progress will watch the move
ment of the Frisco with a great deal
of interest.

Don't forget it, you high-headed
American citizen who lives i'll Hat
tiesburgg, that we have the poor chill
dren with us and that they would en-
joy Christmas gift with as great
delight as the richest child in tie
city. Last Christmas little band
was organized and they made
almost house to house canvass of the
city for the location of the poor and
distressed and advertised through
the papers to the effect that if any
one was really in distress or if anyone
knew of the distress and need of
some one else and that fact be made
known to the band their wants would
be supplied at once. By this plan
many poor people of the city-men,
women and children unknown before
to the general public-were found in
different parts of the city and re-
lieved of their distress. 1t is hoped
that this canvass will be inaugurated
at an earlier date this Christmas
fact.it should be in vogue n0w--so
that there will not be a single person
overlooked. Besides, the anticipation
of thing some times is a great relief
