Hand Sewing circle was held at the
home of Mrs. \. Mosenfelder. The

been done during the winter among

provided with new garments for
school wear. The ladies are very
grateful to all who have helped in
the work, and especially wish to
thank the Proprietors of the stores
and the hotels in which the mite
boxes are placed, the public who so
generously dropped in offerings,
thereby furnishing the means with
which to buy the material. and the
ladies of the German Lutheran Sew
ing society who kindly assisted with
the sewing.

There seems TO be an impression
abroad that parties who desire to
enter the floral parade with their
private vehicles must pay for the
privilege. This is Incorrect. All that
is required is that they register with
Chairman Lee b. Grabbe, of the com
mittee. so they can be assigned to a
place in the parade. There are no
charges of any kind for the floral
parade except those who contract
with Mr.. Barley for his services in
decorating their vehicles.

A VISIT TO sUMRALL.

A representative of the Progress
yesterday went out over the Pearl
and Leaf Rivers railroad to Sumrall.
There are a number of stations be-
tween here and that point, but as
yet there are no business houses.
At Sumrell, which is as far as the
trains now run, there is great deal
of work geing on. 1t is at this point
that the Newman Lumber Co. will
put in another lumber plant which
will employ several hundred hands.
A hotel is being built there. J. b.
Limbaugh, of this place, being the
contractor. No town lots have been
sold yet. The Newman company
will have a comminsary there, the
building to be 40 by 100 and 1t is not
likely that the town will have much
other business for some time to come.
The track from here to Sumrall is
good-DuiIt with an eye to per-
manency The rails have been laid
half mile beyond Sumrall and the
grading is fully 10 miles further out.
That the Pearl and Leaf Rivers
road will eventually be built to
Illinois Central, seems to be general
~ believed by all who talked about
the matter.

FOUND NOT GUILTY.

SINE time ago it was stated that a
negro man was found dead at New
York, q negro settlement a short dis
lance from Brooklyn in this county,
and that Claiborne Benjamin and
his wife Sarah were arrested and
tried for murder. They were put
under bond in the sum Of $1,000 each,
but being unable to give the bond
were sent to Jail. It developed at
the trial of these two negroes that
another, John Guy, was implicated
in the murder and be was arrested.
Yesterday be had trial, II. Y. Ev-
erett defending and George Hart
field looking after the states inter-
ests. But the evidence was not SUI
hcient to hold the negro and he was
discharged.
This was one of the most atroclous
crimes that has been committed in
that neighborhood for a long time.
The dead negroes head was beaten
into jelly with an axe or some other
such instrument, and the evidence
showed that more than one person
was instrumental in putting him to
death, and it IS believed that the
negro man and woman in Jail here
are principals to the murder. 1t Is
very likely that they will be tired al
the next term of the circuit court.

Just at present there is not much
interest being taken in the coming
municipal election, probably because
the time is too far off, AMI it may be
because there is no certainty as to
who the candidates for mayor will
be. 1t seems to be certain that the
present incumbent will run again and
J. w. Bolton, and one or two others.
Still the city has good material and
Progress could name a half dozen,
either of whom weuld make an ac-
ceptable mayor and would be an
honor to the office. Among these are
Duncan McLaurln, George fairfield,
Fl. s. Stevens, Capt. T. J. George, A.
H. McSwain and others, but it is
scarcely believed either would serve.
All have important private business
that requires too much of their time
to give their attention to the office of
mayor, though the Office pays a
splendid salary. Later on it may
may be that several candidates will
enter the race, but at present the
office is going begging.

In a Railroad Tie Camp

It was while working in a tie
camp in northern Minnesota that
I experienced one of the most
severe winters on record. The
cause of it all was that a rich
Canadian firm which had the con-
tract for furnishing ties for the
railway thought "We Americans, .
as they called us, could work hard
all day for small wages and live on
bacon, prunes and tea as their
Duke boys and Italians did.
Money was as scarce rs hens
teeth and time checks issued by
the firm for labor on ties were of
no value, as none of the business
mon would cash them, while the
company paymaster had closed up
his Office and returned to Winni-
peg.
Things were going from bad to
worse, but it was of no use to
strike as we were cornered like
rats in a trap. We didn't have

An article on "The Presidency"
by Theodore Roosevelt, to be pub
lished in the November 9th issue of
the Youths Companion, will be of
great public interest. When the
article was written Mr.. Roosevelt
had not even been nominated for
the Vice PRESIDENCY.
/ Nothing was then further from
his thought than that he would so
soon exercise the great powers
which are entrusted to the Presi-
dent of the United States.
In view of the circumstances
the article possesses an Importance
more than ordinary, and it will be
eagerly looked for. The number

tanning it, and all the subsequent
issues of 1902, will be sent free to
new subscribers from the time
their subscription of SITS is re-

the thunderous pounding, were all
like a violent earthquake. The
same gentleman tells how he once
saw a wounded buffalo turn on an
Indian hunter. The mans horse
took fright. Instead of darting
sideways to give him chance to
send a last finishing shot home the
horse became wildly unmanageable
and fed. The buffalo pursued.
Off they rushed, rider and buffalo,
the Indian craning over his horses
neck, the horse blown and tagged
and unable to gain one pace ahead
of the buffalo, the great angry
beast covered with foam, with eyes
like fire, pounding and pounding,
closer and closer to the horse till
rider and buffalo disappeared over
the horizon. ''To this day I have
wondered what became of that
Indian" said the officer, for the
horse was losing and the buffalo
gaining when they went behind
the bluff" This incident illustrates
a trait seldom found in wild ami
mails, a persistent vindictiveness.

expiration of the days work, there
then would exist more universal
feeling of security among friends.
Friendship, then, would be no
cold medium. Nowadays it gen.
orally requires some momentous
action in order to correctly bal
ance our ledger. It always shows
surprising results. After we have
separated the false from the genu-
inc we blush for shame as we
glance at the names. Not because
they were our friends in the past,
but because they asked for and
willingly accepted our favors,
while at heart they were disloyal
to our interests.
The late Emile lola was a
striking example of what one true
friend can accomplish when he es-
pouses the cause of another, even
tho nation be arrayed against
the person whom he SO generously
and nobly defends. When he
uttered his famous denunciatory
paragraphs against the French
staff officers, accompanied by the
burning words 81 accuse" he
knew the hopelessness and un-
popularity of his cause. He faced
his duty courageously and then
walked proudly into exile. lola
may not have been a personal
friend of the man whose cause he
so intrepidly championed, but his
conduct on that occasion won him
the friendship of thousands of
lovers of justice and fair play.
A short time ago a London
paper offered a prize for the best
essay or definition Of the word
friendship. Thousands of persons
, eagerly entered the contest, and
the prize was awarded to the one
who sent in the following COM
position: ''The person who comes
in first when all the world has gone
out" What world of meaning
that short, terse sentence conveys
to our understanding! What joy
such a friend brings to our op-
pressed heart at such a critical
moment! It is at such periods of
our life that the good Offices Of
friends are most desirable. It is
then that they are given a prac-
tical opportunity to exemplify
their allegiance by good exam
pie.
Friendship! mysterious cement of the soul!
Sweetener of life! and solder of society,""
Robert Blair
To be lasting, friendship needs
but to be true, not only in pro-
testations, but in our conversation
with our fellow men,-to avoid
using insulting language, show
ing respect for another's opinions,
and to avoid being churlish and
dictatorial if temporarily placed
a little higher in authority than
others. Such friendships as
Damon and Pythias wins the op-
probation of mankind. They leave
their impress on the tablets of
Time. It is such friendships that
are the 'incubators which give
birth to all the higher ideals, and
give impetus to the onward march
of civilization. S.
