the work is saturated. The robustious, though
graceful forms of Tempesta in his friezes for the
Rospigliosi at Rome, and the Northern harsh

out Of ten the artist shows delicacy Of imagi-

in the pageantry displayed. The artists have

A Suggestion,

The Commercial-Appeal makes the
following suggestion anent the new re-
apportionment of the Congressional dis
tricts in Mississippi:
"Congressmen Williams and Hooker
ard ex-Congrcssman Pat Henry, cold
Pat, of Mississippi, do not like the way
the state is being re-districted. All three
of these gentlemen are thrown into one
congressional district, and as all three
cannot go to congress from the same
district they object to being herded to-
gether. The gerrymander is an old po-
litical trick When there is no hope OF
defeating man any other way his ell
emies fence him out by running new lines.
If the gerrynlanders will not relent The
Comniercial-Appeal will offer a solution
to the problem. John Sharp Williams
can go tc the United States senate, Hook
CT to the governors chair and Pat Henry
to congress with our entire consent, or if
they care to carve the cake differently no
obiec tons will beraised."

Cur Great Delta.

AT banqret in Chicago few days
ago, Hou Tno. VI. Alien i'll referring to
the Mississippi! Valley, spoke as follows:
The Mississippi valley lisa great Empire.
No other river in the world drains so rich
a valley. 1t can produce enough to feed
the. whole word; enough cotton and wool
to clothc the whole world; enough oil to
light the whole world; enough money to
carry OH the commerce of the whole
world. Better men never rode horses
over better lands to see fairer women then
those who live in the Mississippi Valley.
The Delta of the Mississippi contains the
cream Of all the great valley. that has
been washed down there for ages. 1t is
the richest spot i'll the world; is being
rapidly reclaimed and its possibilities are
limitless."

Bermuda Grass.

sss~
Prot S M. Tracy pays the following
high tribute to our Bermuda grass:
81 have been over a large portion of
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi-the
region where the drouth has been most
severe and found the bermuda pas
lures the only ones which were able to
furnish forage after siA weeks of scorch-
ing sun. In fact, this droutli-resisting
characteristic of Bermuda grass consti-
tutes one of it's chief values in all regions
subject to severe summer droutli. 1t is
the foundation Of every good pasture
throughout the entire region Of the Gulf
States.
at is essentially rich land grass, and
nowhere in the world does it succeed bet
ter than on the black lands of the prairie
region of Northeast Mississippi, the ecreek
and river bottoms in the central part of
the State, and on the moist and nlluvial
lands of the Delta In careful feeding
tests at the State Experiment Station,
Bermuda was found to he about s per
cent. more valuable than the best timO-
thy hay, for both mules and cattle. Its
Yield exceeds that of any grass-makins
hay of equally good quality. and its
thrifty growth, where properly cared for
has changed many Mississippi counties
from importers to exporters of mules.
"The rapidly growing appreciation OF
its value is doing more than any other
one thing to develop live stock industry
in the State. The Bermuda fields ofMiss-
issippi will soon rival the famous Blue
Grass region of Kentucky"
