The Western Town Lot Co. has
decided to the Chicago & North
western railroad company a number
OF tracts in the newly plated towns
of Milroy, Lucan Rowena, Glenn
ents and Wayburne, the tracts in
question being for side track and
other purposes.
A plan is now being prepared for
submission to the various district
trustees whereby it is expected that
each rural school in Red wood coun-
ty will be given a name. At the
present time only two of them are
named-the Longfel1ow school in
district No. 20 and the Merriam
school in New Avon
A satisfaction of mortgage has
| been given by Anna E. Ward and
Ella j. MARITIME to W. G. Costley for
a mnr'gag" given several years ago
on S!r. Costley's farm in Vesta
tow nship. This was the mortgage
that resulted in litigation about a
year ago. The case went on to the
district court docket, but it appears
now that it was settled outside of
court.
The climate and crop bulletin OF
the weather for the week ending
Sept. %, is as follows: There were
light and scattered showers on the
10th. aud much heavier and more
general rains On the 18th. Goth and
21st The mornings of the 18th and
18th were cool, with heavy frosts in
many places. Thrashing has been
going on as rapidly as possible dur
ing the dry parts of the week. and
the grain left In shock is nearly all
thrashed: tharshing from the stack
is begun. High winds on one or
two days made thrashing difficult
In some of the low lands of the Red
River valley small areas of very late
oats, barley and fax we're still un-
cut at the time of the killing frost
|on the 18th. and these are now
hardly worth cutting. The corn
crop has been very seriously injured
by the frost. and the stalks stand
half dried and bleached some of this
corn has been cut and shocked, but
a great deal OF it will be left stand
ing in the field Fall plowing is
back ward because of the delay il
getting the crops off the fields. The
second crop of clover has very little
seed In in it. Winter wheat is being
seeded in small areas in some south
|ern counties. Early seeded rye is
coming up nicely.

THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY
Of State, Henry Yerger, Up in
Chicago With His Wife
GIVES OUT. INFORMATION WHICH
Is Rare, Racy. Peculiar and Very
Interesting.

The Chicago Chronicle Of recent
date contains the following interview
with Mr.. Henry Yerger, Of this city,
concerning the country in which
Teddy is now hunting bear:
Where President Roosevelt IS go,
ing to hunt bear, said Henry I er-
ger, assistant secretary of the state OF
Mississippi, who, with his wife, is
stopping at the auditorium annex on
his bridal tour, is one Of the widest
yet richest parts of the south. Shar-
key county is noted for the growth OF
its cotton, the size of its men and the
beauty of its women, the grutfness OF
its negroes, the intelligence OF It's
coons and squirrels, the fierceness OF
its bears and the eagerness OF Its
sharks to get bite at human flesh.
Its the only county in the state
that has not cast a republican vote
since B. Z. Bruce was senator from
the state. A man can vote the prohi-
bition ticket, declare i'll favor OF the
referendum, assert that the decalogue
is no longer a part of human mortals,
contradict the common belief that 1t
takes bob-tailed dog to tree coon,
but he must not say that the republl-
can party has right to exist.
As for the bear they can cut down
a tree quicker than beaver could
NOW down jimson weed. And night!
There is not one in the county that
after two drinks of Pantheburn creek
water. wouldn't stand upon its hind
legs and spit in the eye of the biggest
Bengal tiger that ever trod the uncut
roads of an African jungle.
"Sharkey county is the home OF
Lamar G. Fontaine, the eagle-eyed
editor of the Coahoma City Storm
Buster, who, single handed, Outwitted
Sherman's army, who was shot
twenty seven times while scout for
General Fitzhugh Lee, whose eyes are

For a Number of Years and is a
Capable Man.
CAPT. M'WILLIE RE = ELECTED
Secretary of the Board of Control
Other Matters Attended to.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Nov. lS.-It is believed
that the election of officers for the
Mississippi penitentiary by the prison
board of control at the special session
last evening will prove generally sat
isfactorv and bring to an effectual end
the series of bitter controversiessand
sensational charges that have charac-
terized the management OF the prison
for more than a year.
J. ]. Henry of Starkville, the pres
ent travelling sergeant, was elected to
the office of warden TO succeed Cap
tain J. NJ Parchman, who formally
announced in a letter to the board
| that he was not candidate for re-
election. DR.. Sol Mcdowell of Jack
son, also withdrew from the race, and
Mr.. Henry was opposed by w. J. Mil
ler of this city, and H. w. Cunning
| ham of COripth, who received compli-
mentary votes on the first ballot. Mr..
Henry was elected by the votes OF
Governor Longino, Attorney General
McClurg and Commissioner J. d. Nc
Innis.
The new warden has been connected
with the penietntiary management for
about six years. He succeeded Cap
/ tsin -Prchman as travelling sergeant
and now succeeds him as warden, and
the several years Of service has rem
dered him thoroughly familiar with
the affairs of the institution. He Is
an excellent farmer and possesses
much b;lley as manager.
John Dodds of Lincoln county was
elected travelling sergeant Of the
prison to succeed Mr.. Henry. He was
opposed by J. D. McCaskill of Bran
don, and W. H. Champlin of Gulf
port.
Capt. William McWillie was re-
elected secretary of the board Of con.
troll and Captain Lacey as assistant
secretary. The board neglected TO
elect chaplin, but the matter will
be attended to at the first session in
December. The position is chiefly
honorary since the cOnvicts have been
distributed about on the farms in va
rious parts of the state.
The farm sergeants and physicians
will be elected at the regular elections
in January. These officers are chosen
on the recommendation Of the warden.
