nine. On Monday, in company with
Head Ranger j. L. Smith, he went to

was glad that he visited this reserve,
and spoke very highly of the work as
conducted by Captain Bullock.

justice TO the bright speeches that for
two hours held the closest attention of
the large audience The dairymen of
Vermont set pace hard to follow at
this banquet, and the State Bar Asso-

F. NJ, Black, proprietor of the Ave.
nue. House, st. Johnsburys leading
hotel, appeared before Judge Loveland
Munson in Caledonia county court on
Wednesday and pleaded guilty to ten
first offences of selling Intoxicating
liquor and one of keeping with in
tent to sell. Judge Munson imposed

The Avenue House was raided

charges made against him but he later
decided to plead guilty 1t is said he
will go out of the hotel business, but
it is probable that the Avenue House
will still be kept open, or for time
at least.

THE GULF AND SHIP ISLNAD
SHOPS.

The building of the Gulf and Ship
Island shops at this place has ad-
vanced so far that one can form some
idea the extension they will be. Only
short time ago an artesian we'll was
sunk which has an overflow of per-
haps two hundred gallons per minute.
1t will FURNISH sufficient amount of
water for all purposes and its worth
is inestimable to the shops.
The roundhouse, which has SIX
stalls for engines, has practically been
completed and soon the shops house
will receive the finishing touch.
This is large building and will give
employment to many hands. Already
machinery is being placed and actual
work of repairing and building cars
and overhauling engines will begin in
a week or two.
When completed these will be the
incest and most convenient car shops
and round house in the state. With
an abundance Of artesian water,
which. like that used in this city, is
as pure as water can be made, and
with plenty Of room, there being sew
eral acres of land and just as level as
the floor, and with cOmmodious build
ings, these shops will be the pride OF
the road as we'll as a great benefit to
the business Of Hattiesburg. They
are located just north of the junction
Of the Gulf and Ship Island and the
Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City
roads and it is naturally supposed
| that much Of the work of the latter
road will be done at them.

some ease and satisfaction, when
they will be better prepared 10 enter
