Yachts slow to Arrive.

This is the season for yachts in Sa-
vannah, but few have yet put in their
appearance. AS a general thing, a
number of pleasure craft reach here
by this time but this season seems to
be an exception. The larger yachts
are not in this neighborhood. If they
were trouble might confront them, ow-
ing to the short supplies of anthra-
cite coal at most of the South Attain
tic ports.

THERE WAS A COMPROMISE.
Between the City Authorities And
A Blind Tiger.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Aug. 16.-A rather queer
method of dealing with blind tiger
keeper is reported from Newton, in
the eastern section of the state. The
mayor of the town informed the
marshal that the people in a certain
neighborhood had intimated that
they would like to have a blind
tiger suppressed, and requested him
to proceed with the job according to
law. The marshal took up the job
with evident reluctance and in a
delicate manner communicated to
the blind tiger keeper the wishes of
the mayor. The keeper then re-
quested that the authorities wait a
few days until he could dispose of an
unusually large stock on hand, in
order that he could retire from the
business without loss. and his request
was readily granted.

The M. and O. and |. G. Are Doing

Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Aug. 10.-The large rail-
road systems entering Mississippi
are making renewed efforts to induce
northern settlers to come to the state
and develop It's agricultural re-
sources. A few days since the Mobile
and Ohio road announced itself in
the market to purchase a tract of
$1,000 acres of prairie land in the
state to be allotted to white settlers
from the north, and the land agents
of the Illinois Central are now trying
to secure large body of land in
Claiborne county on which to estab-
lish a colony of northern home
seekers.
A few years ago it was quite diff
flcult TO induce northern farmers
to come south, but now they are
seeking the opportunity, and In each
section where they have settled the
agricultural methods have been inn
proved and farmers themselves grow
prosperous year by year. One agent
of the Illinois Central has brought
seventy-eight families to the state
this year, and the heads of the fami-
lies were nearly all clerks in whole
sale houses in Chicago and who had
saved up a little money and desired
to go into the truck farming busi-
ness.
Less than fifty per cent of the tilla-
BILE land of Mississippi is actual cul-
tivated, and the s'..Ge presents fine
opportunity for thrifty and hard
working people who desire to pur-
chase property and improve it.
