A NEW TOWN BEING
BUILT.

Messrs. Guy Burkett and Sam
Harper, Of Covington, came in
yesterday to buy a lot of horses
and vehicles.
A PROCESS reporter learning of
their extensive purchase, was
curious to know what was up, so
upon inquiry, was informed that
they were going to put up a
livery, sale and feed stable at the
new town OF Basstield, on the
Pearl & Leaf Rivers railroad.
Our informant seems confident
Bassfeld will soon be one OF the
best towns in Covipgton county.
When asked why the matter
had been kept so quiet, was re.
ferred to Thos. NJ. Ferguson, the
representative of the land owners,
some OF whom are very wealthy,
they selected this location on ac-
count of its many natural advan.
tagss, it beng especially noted
for its healthtulness, and his
instructions have been to handle
the matter quietly so as to sell
mostly to those who expect to go
there for a home or business, and
by keeping the matter quiet, he
hoped to keep it out of the
hands OF spectators, as the own.
| ers had no desire to get up a
boom tor they had plenty of
money to build a town without
any boomish movements.
When asked about the report
of Hawkins & Go. going out
there next Tuesday to locate a
large store, Mr.. Ferguson ad-
mitted that that was true and
said he had promised to meet a
few other gentlemen that day for
the same purpose. We merely
mention this tact as we do not
want Mr.. Ferguson to keep our
regular subscribers In the dark,
and when there is a good thing
to be had, we are willing tor our
patrons as well as his to have
some of the pie-Aattiesburg

A LETTER FROM HON.
j. K. s TENNIS.
To The TAXI PAYER:

To The TAXPAYER:
You will have an opportunity
at the coming election to vote
on three amendments to the
constitution passed by that reck-
less legislature which is now
about to GO out OF existence.
Two of the amendments the
writer has no objection to, but
the third I appeal to the people
TO vote down. 1t seek to change
the extra session OF legislature
to a regular session. The policy
of the mob was to increase the
salaries of all the officers in the
State, which they did partly, but
they didn't have the eftrontery
to increase their own salaries
outright; they took this round
about way to accomplish this end.
Those of you who will put your
selves to the trouble to examine
the constitution will cetainly
vote down this amendment.

The Angel of Death has been
in our midst again, and it is with
q sorrowing heart we record the
loss OF the infant of Mr.. aud Mrs.
w. Il. Spinks. Her sickness was
OF long duration. Atfve o'clock
last Monday morning the spirit
OF the little sufferer passed away,
to be with the angels of God.
Her remains were brought to Lib
erty grave yard tor interment.
We know that the hearts ofthe
bereaved parents will ever be
filed with gratitude for those
were 80 faithful in nursing the
little one during its sickness.
IN MEMORY OF LITTLE SISTER.
As the roseate glow Of the Sunset Light
Fades away from our sight,
80 this little darling 90 sweet aid fair,
passed I've the River. Over there
Where the angels sing in joyful strains
To welcome her.
"Suffer little children to come unto Me"
Was our Masters great command
"For of Such is the Kingdom OF Heaven"
And ii we are not rs these little ones are
No welcome awaits No there.
Little sister has gone to join
Baby brother or the golden shore
They are basklng in the rays Of Eternal
Light
And will sing Gods praises evermore.
May the broken link in the family ties.
Be reunited beyond the skies,
Where sorrows ceaee and Love Supreme
CLOVIS Gin the hearts Of the great re-
deemed.
Miss Georgia Spence left for
Meridian on the 3rd of this
month, tor the purpose attending
school. May her efforts in school
lite be crowned with success.
She is ope OF Kemper's brightest
girls, having a mind capable Of
acquiring the highest intellectual
attainments.
w: says he is going to Merid-
ian, too.
1t the kind editor will allow
me space I would like to speak
ID few words in praise of the little
boys. How they do work ! The
busy season of cotton picking is
here; and oh, how they a pick!
1t is a race every day to see
whose basket viii weigh the
most when night comes, There
is something else, too, which
hurries them along: school will
begin soon, aud they are anxious
TO be ready to enter on the first
! day.
Now, boys, how many times
have you picked up q book since
the close Of your last school?
Suppose you time Yourself and
see how many minutes you can
spare each day tor study. Ot
course you have to work, yet not
all the time. / have read about
q boy who devoted the moments
while waiting tor his meals to
one study-thst is, one book,
Latin | believe. He was greatly
pleased at the progress he had
made. Suppose you take spell
ling for spare time study, allow
ing ten minutes every day; in
one months time you would be
pleased to know how readily you
could spell. Learn the definitions
Of words later on; it will help you
to understand what you read ;
aud as you advance allow more
spare time. You like nice things
to eat, and genteel dress, bnt
don't forget That your minds can
starve as well as your bodies.
Keep both growing. Bye aud
bye you'll be big boys. The
future welfare of your country
rests upon your shoulders.
Keepthis always in view, that
knowledge is power" when
rightly applied; and how can you
acquire it unless you study? /
would like to have a report one
month from the present on spare
time study. Little girls are in
cluded, too.

taffeta, closely stitched in red, and is
broad and pointed in the back, narrow
ing toward the front to an inch width.
The .chemisette and collar are of the
fine folds of taffeta stitched in red and
braided down the middle. The sleeves
are full at the elbow, the deep cuffs
consisting of the the stitched folds and
braided trimming. The blouse is fit

Another imported bodice of great

The pattern has strips of coral on a

Dresden effects all over the material.
The waist is made with bolero fronts
and turn over collar trimmed with
an applique of point de Venise lace.
The full front was of accordion-pleat-

two broad bands of velvet ribbon. The

Irish crochet lace is extremely fash

is trimmed with bands of black thread

at the foot. The bodice is cut square
in the neck, back and front, and is
outlined with the black lace. The
opening is filled in with guimpe of
the Irish crochet lace unlined. A
fichu of the lace and chiffon at the
corsage completes this simple yet ele-

the flaring cuff extending we'll over the
