to study the thing, and l found
out that even country boy costs
his parents a good deal.
When you count what a boy
eats and what he wears, and the
school books be has to have,
and Doctors bills that have to be
paid when he gets the measles or
the scarlet fever he will cost his
folks at home at least one hun
dred dollars a year. If a boy is
pretty bad to smash things or to
kick his shoes sight out, he costs
more than that. So, when | am

than two thousand dollars.
Mother cooked my food, made
my clothes and patched them,
washed and ironed for me, took
care of the when | was little fel-
low and whenever | was sick, and
she never charged anything for
that. IL she were dead and fa-
ther had to hire all that done it

lars more; and that's two thou

Four thousand dollars for a |
boy! What do you think of that?
These are hard times. When |
parents put four thousand dollars

UNITE ON q GOOD MAN.

The visit of Judge Adam Byrd
to the city on Tuesday brings to
mind the fact that he is soon to
resign from his present position
in order to assume his duties as
representative in congress from
the fifth district, to which office
he was recently elected, and that
the chancellorship o. this district
will then be vacant. Columbus
Is one Of the largest, If not the
largest, city in the district, and
for this and other good reasons,
his successor ought to be a Co
lumbian, but unless we can set
tie on some good man and push
his claims in every legitimate
manner, it is more than likely
that the appointment will 60 to
some other city. 1t is currently
rumored that several local attor-
neys are thinking seriously of
entering the race, and for the
good of both the city and of the |
prospective candidates the Com
mercIal suggests that the local I
bar hold a meeting and unite in
some good man. If
this be done the race will be mar
roWed down, and not only every
lawyer, but every citizen of the
city, can throw his support to the
man who is selected, and the old
saying to the effect that in union
there is strength may in this case
prove a true one.
There is as good material in
Columbus as there is anywhere
n the district, and if the right
nan is selected there is no rea-
son why he should not win.

FACTS AND
FALLACIES.
The summer days are on the wane,

The summer days are on the wane,
Ana each one shorter grows,
From baseball talk will now abstain,
And commence discussing shows.
Although the baseball season
has not yet quite ended, the en-
thusiasm of the cranks who, when
there were any games in prog
ress, spent their afternoons at the
ball park and their evenings in
discussing the sport, has already
begun to wane, and they have
begun to turn their attention to
shows. For. in Columbus at
least, the fellows who are the
worst eranks over ball games in
the summer are the ones who are
the 'daffiest" on the subject of
shows in the winter. Whenever
the theatre is open they can be
seen on the choicest seats, and on
off nights they cOngregate in the
lObbies of the hotels and in the
drug stores to discuss the merits
of current attractions. The local
dramatic season has already been
formally opened, and from this
time on attractions may be eX-
pected to follow each other in
rapid succession, 50 that baseball
is now a thing Of the past, and
the local sports, instead of watch
ing the sporting columns of the
daily papers to see how the pre-
vious days games resulted, Will
keep their eyes on the dramatic
chroniclings To see what attrac-
tions are IN the south, and where
their faYoFite soubrettes and in
genues are located.

MOUNT VERNON SCHOOL

The residents Of the Mount
Vernon school district, which IS
located in the eastern section 0f
the county, have begun the eree-

hood, but To the whole county. It

The funds necessary for the
construction of the building were
subscribed by the patrons of the
school, and they are justly proud
of the success which has crowned
the undertaking.

1t seems that Columbus is a
Jonah as far as q street car line
is concerned. We can build
churches and schools galore, and
even the old city hall, which
okoss like a relic Of pre- historic
days. is to be replaced by a new
building, but when it comes TO
the construction of a street rail-
way we are not one, two, three.
During the early part of last
spring the city council made a
contract with the local electric
light company for street lighting,
which carried the construction
Of a street railway as a part of
the agreement, but as no steps
have yet been taken TO commence
work. it looks as if that part OF
the contract, at least, will be alb
rogated. Columbus has grown
SO rapidly during the past few
years that street railway, or
some cheap means ofrapid trans
portation, is almost "a necessity,
and as there IS lots of idle capital
all over the country seeking in
vestment, it looks as though some
man or set of men could be found
who would put money in the en-
terprise.

that the idea which led to the es.
tablishment of the institution, the
student body Of which he wa:
addressing, originated in the
brain of woman.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Rich
ards address Miss Browl sang
the old time favorite, my Old
Kentucky Home," and no feature
of the exercises brought more
pl 4asure than did the rendition OF
this ballad, the beauty of which
time will never dim.
The next speaker on the pro-
gram was Hon. Frank V. Evans,
the distinguished editor of the
Meridian Press, who delivered a
mastery address on 1.-The Indus
trial Problems which Confront
WomanhOod. Mr.. Evans began
his address by thanking Presi-
dent Kincannon tor the kindly
manner in which he had intro
duced him to the audience, and
cOmplimented the president, the
members of the faculty and the
student body upon the noble
work which is being accomplished
by them. MIR. Evans advised
everyone to fix upon some spe-
cific pursuit or avocation, and to
direct all of his or her efforts to
learning all about the subject
chosen. Mr.. Evans address was
not only learned, but was thor
oughly practical, and in it he
gave much sage advice, which
will be of great value to all who
heard it. He said that nothing
was nobler or more edifying than
honest, constant and conscien-
tious labor, no matter III what
line it might be directed, and that
the happiest men and women in
the world are those who labor
most assiduously and most per-
sistently.
Hon. w. 4. Gibbs, of Yazoo
county, was introduced after Mr..
Evans had concluded his address,
and made a few remarks regard
ing the legislative appropriations
for the college.
After the singing of the doxol-
ogy, the assemblage was dismiss
ed with benediction by Rev.
kobt Nj. Barnweii.
The full text of the addresses
which were delivered by Mr..
Mitchell and Mr.. Evans, together
with a more extended write up of |
the institution, will appear in

TURNED LOOSE.

No one is ever astonished al
! any verdict which petit jury
may render, consequently no
one was surprised when a tele-
gram was received in the city
last Monday announcing the
fact that John Tennyson, who
was recently tried IN Aberdeen
for the murder of Morris Drees,
which crime was committed in this
city in May, 1901 had been acquit-
ed. Several days had been con-
sumed in the trial of the case,
which finally went to the jury
late Saturday afternoon. After
deliberating for nearly forty
eight hours that body returned
to the court room about noon on
Monday and rendered a verdict
of not guilty.
The trial of r. Il. Tennyson
was begun Monday morning, and
will probably be completed today.
The outcome is awaited with in
terest.
The Tennyson case has been
one of unusual interest to the
people of this section. In its
origin it was not unlike many
similar ones where quarrels and
disputes among men bring on
bad blood which eventually re-
suits in the death of one of them,
but in the events which followed
the killing of Drees the analogy
of similar cases was widely de-
parted from. AS stated above,
Drees was killed by John Tenny-
son in May of last year, and the
homicide was promptly followed
by the arrest of both he and his
brother, r. B. Tennyson. who, it !
was claimed was the instigator of
the killing, and equally culpapa-
BILE with his brother in the crime. |
They had a preliminary trial be-
fore Mayor lincoln, and were
to Jail to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury, which met
later in the month and indicted /
them both. Up to this point the
history of the case was not un-
natural, but in the outcome of I
-he hearing the usual order of
5hings was departed from.N A
severance of the Two cases was
granted by the court, and the
men tried separately, John z.
fennysOn, who actually commit
ed the crime, being found guilty
)nly of manslaughter, while r.
B. Tennyson, who was only an
accessory to the crime, was con-
7lcted OF murder. The supreme
court, however, set aside the YER
lict of the lower court, and or
lered a new trial, which was
lad at the present term of the
,ircuit court in Aberdeen, a
,hange of venue having been
granted by Judge Sykes.
