A Story Of Tennyson.

In his "reminiscences Charles
Broohfeld, the English actor, says
"My father was dining in London
one night at the Oxford and Cam
bridge club with Tennyson and two
Or three others. After dinner the
poet insisted on putting his feet on
the table, fitting back his chair
more Americano.' There were
strangers in the room, and he was
expostulated with for his uncouth-
ness, but in vain. DO put down
your feet pleaded his host. why
should p retorted Tennyson. I'm
very comfortable as I am Every
ones staring at you,' said another.
Let 'em stare replied the poet
placidly. Alfred said my father,
people will think you're Longfe1-

Please and Return This Card Back.

The request for return was Il device
to save expense. Up shot that card
with the cheese and garlic wherever
Honce went Oh New Years eve. Back
it went in the basket down tho dumb
waiter shoot, usually with Il dime or
nickel upon its face. Such New Years
wishes were well worth the dime or
nickel. At length it bowled skyward
once too often. 1t ascended, nesting
between squash and side of cod

Costly Drugs.

The high price for which some drugs
sell is commented on by The Montreal
Herald.
There are several that are worth
their weight in gold-about twenty
dollars on ource-while two, three, or
FIVE dollars an ounce are quite common
prices in pharmacy.
But there IS one drug which is
worth more than it's weight in gold.

Our Cotton Factory.
PRAIRIE POINT, July 1st, l9J

PRAIRIE POINT, July 1st, 1902.
Editor Beacon;-
We were much gratifed at seeing the
interest manifested in your cotton
factory meeting by the citizens Of Ma
con; and we hope, that now the initial
step has been taken, that the citizens OF
Noxubee county will arouse them
selves to the vast importance of this
undertaking. Surely, there is no man
who will consider for moment, the
advantages, accruing to a county
which has within her confines, a cotton
manufacturing establishment, who
would fail to do all IN his power to
make such an undertaking success.
There are but few farmers in our
county who conld not take share of
500 in a factory, and we believe,
when the matter has been properly, and
intelligently, put before them that the
fifty thousand dollars will be raised in
due time,
1t would seem, that, with as intelli'
gent a citizenship as we have in Nox'
ubee county, with men who can at
once grasp the wonderful possibilities
that are ours, if we but take advantage
of them as they pass, that there would
be little trouble in securing all needed
subscriptions.
Ours is a wonderful country a God
favored section, yet undeveloped 1t
abounds in raw material Of almost
every description, which has for years
been shipped to other wide-awake Sec
tons, to be manufactured into every
day articles, thus adding untold millions
of wealth to these less favored sections
than ours. Then, will the citizens of
Nozubee fail at this opportune time to
grasp the wheel of fortune as she turns,
and locate within her borders factories
that will convert into finished fabrics
the raw material with which our county
abounds? Thus, giving employment
to her laborers, furnishing a market
for the surplus products of the field and
adding materially to the wealth and
comfort Of her citizenship.

who has $50, 900 invested in it would
certainly have very strong incentive
in having it properly managed 1t
would be well, perhaps, if there was a

Sensational Statement In
Treasury Case.

Jackson, Miss, July THE trial OF
the State Treasury shortage case has
again been postponed at the instance OF
the defense, going over till Thursday
morning, because of the absence oil
witnesses. A considerable portion OF
Yesterday was spent in legal skirmishes
over points of law, the chief Of which
was raised by Hon. r.. N. Miller, at
torney for Mr.. Rush, the Senatoola
man who is alleged to have had the use
Of the hundred thousand dollars along
with Messrs. Raiford, the Treasury
Cashier, and Banker Armistead, Of
Memphis. The point was to the effect
that there is no law on the statute books
preventing any person borrowing State
money. The law is against embezzlihg
and lending, not against Borrowing, a
provision which Mr., Miller declared,
might have been made with full knowl'
edge of the effect. Mr. Miller said,
in effect, that il was well known that
there was never any money in the State
Treasury except when the Governor of
the State goes there to make his count;
that the bankers of Jackson and other
towns have been using it for years, and
he defed them to deny it or sue him for
SANDER. Nothing was said about this
borrowing Of State funds, continued
Mr.. Miller, till a new borrower appear
ed upon the scene-a stranger, in the
person of Mr., Rush, audFhe did not
think it right that he should be singled
out and punished for borrowing just
because he was from the country,
The objection was overrlled by the
court. and the case set for trial next
Thursday. with instructions to the
State aud the defense to be ready.
