AIormons to Canvass tho State.


The Mormons seem to have come
to the conclusion that the State of
Mississippi is fertile field, and
have sent a score or more of elders to
work it up. They have just held a
State conference in Jefferson county,
which was presided over by Elder
Ben Rich, one Of the most distin-
guished members Of that church, and
at which territory was apportioned.
The elders will now make a thorough
canvess Of the State, travelling two
by two. They never ask for fnan-
cial assistance, and as a general
thing do not need money, as there
are few country homes at which even
a Mormon cannot get food and lodg-
ing for the night. However, when
necessary, they pay the cash, and
seem to be well provided with funds.

In the cases Of the liquors taken
by Sheriff Harding Of Kinds county
from the Jackson clubs in the recent
raid, Justice Fitzgerald held that the
afidavits of the clients for the goods
found in the Elks' Club and the Co.

the court ordered that the liquors be
destroyed as the law directs. The
attorneys against the clubs served
notice on the claimants to produce
their Federal revenue licenses, books

of Monroe county the war depart
ment has notified the Southern
Bridge Company of Birmingham to
remove distractions to navigation in
the Tombigbee river at the Amory
bridge. United States engineers have
inspected the bridge and river chan
mel and reported that the piles driven
temporarily for the construction of
the bridge have not been properly re-
moved but were sawed off at low
water and the stumps at low stage
become a dangerous obstruction to
navigation. The bridge was built
with draw span, in 1898, and has
been matter of litigation from the
act of letting the contract. The bid
ders we're warned by counsel that the
order Of the board of supervisors for
its construction was in violation Of
the law, but they accepted the con-
tract and proceeded to build the
bridge. The payments were enjoined
by the taxpayers and the injunction
was sustained by the Circuit Court.
1t was carried to the Supreme Court,
where the lower court was affirmed,
and has since appeared in some shape
in the United States District Court,
and is now under advisement of
Judge Niles.
1t is said that the bridge company
at the outset was Unidentified by pri-
vate parties, though by whom and to
what extent is not a matter of rec
ord, but a $4,000 draw span steel
bridge spans the Tombigbee river for
which the county as a corporate body
has not paid dollar. The protests
Of two of the five members of the
board of supervisors were recorded at
every stage of the proceedings Of
that body that eliminated in the
order for the bridge.
Immense Shipment Of Vegetables.
Jackson, Miss, June "a citi-
zen of Crystal Springs is authority
for the statement the the truck
farmers Of that community have al
ready shipped about $50 carloads Of
vegetables and fruits to the Northern
markets, and that 100 carloads will
be shipped during next week. The
tomato season is at its height, and
the prospect was never better for a
large yield and good prices. The ripe
fruit is now selling at from so cents
to $3.50, according to quality, while
the green and wrapped fruit is going
at about W cents. Last tuesday
Crystal Springs shipped 14,17S
crates Of tomatoes-about seventeen
carloads. Illustrative of the profits
of truck farming it might be men
toned that Messrs. Evans and Bur-
ney recently sold a field of nine acres
of tomatoes for 81, 400, or an average
Of $155 per acre, the purchaser to
pay all expenses of gathering, box

THE BEST MACHINE MADE.

After seeing the demonstration of the
well known Singer Sewing Machine, now
being made daily at the Fair in Floral
Hall, just to the right of main entrance,
we are forced to the conclusion that no
other machine can begin to compare with
it in construction, durability and quality
of work. This, the largest and most
widely known company in the world
makes three distinct styles of machines
known as the automatic, oscillating and
vibrating. Any of their household ma
chimes will sew anything from the finest
fabric to the hardest leather, betting,
ETC.
The movement of the celebrated Sin
ger is eccentric instead of cogmovement
as other machines have, which gives il
many superior advantages over all others
In their booth you will find many mag
nificent specimens of art, costing from
fifty to ve-hundred dollars to manu-
facture, which were entirely made with
this famous machine. 1t will be a rare
treat to visit their beautiful booth anG
be pleasantly entertained by Mr.. Finch
err, who is in charge and is cultured
and refined gentleman of pleasing man
ners and address.

Among the Railroads.

A special from Elizabeth City to the
Norfolk Virginian. gives this good news:
can event transpred here Saturday
which caused feeling of enthusiasm
regarding the future of "Old Betsy" in
the hearts of all public spirited citizens.
The president of the Suffolk and Caro-
lima railroad was here on that day and
figured in the event. The accomplish
sment of the event was the sole object
of his visit here, and having accom-
plished it satisfactorily. he returned to
Suffolk without more ado. This event
was the procurance of a deed for the
property on which will be located the
terminal of the railroad. This price
having been paid the papers were OBJ
tanned from Mr. n. P. Zimmerman.
Everyone knows what that means. 1t
indicates that the companys depot,
freight houses, etc, will be located on
the Zimmerman waterfront property,
the most desirable in town, both for the
company and the local residents. There
is now not a shadow of a doubt but that
the road will be constructed and that
the present boom of our town will be
doubled. 1t is said that nearly as much
interest is manifested by the locals in
the procedures of this railroad property
as they were about 50 years ago when
the Norfolk and Southern line reached
our town.
