The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1902-10-16

Rev. Mr.. Walter r. Dakiu. of Port
Gibson. held services last Sunday,
Church Of Epiphany, Hermanville. The
pews were filed aud many were de-
prived of seats. Rev. Dakin's sermon
created a favorable impression among
the parishouers and they wish for an
early return to practice more regularly
the faith.
A black fly, smaller than the house
fly, has been multiplying to such an ex-
tent as to produce fatal effects on cattle.
They say il Is the Texas fy-strange
that it's only fatal to cattle Of black
color-other colors escape its poisonous
effects.
r. NJ. Holland, who plays the part Of
Pope Plus x, the future P0stifea Max

remarkable actor. He is very deaf and
enacts his roles without any assistance
on the stage, being one of the best lip
readers Of the times.
George Washington's portrait as a
Mason, painted by Robert Gordon Har-
die for the British Grand Lodge, is note
worthy from the fact that Nine. Lafay-
ette presented him with his regalia from
France. Since be wore the adoruments
Of the French Masons he must have
been a member of the Grand Orient OF
France which, like their continental
brethren, have, as one of their canons,
no belief in God. The English and
American Masons acknowledge God In
their constitution. Some may recoilect
the acrimonious controversy in New Or
leans fifty years ago by the Grand Mas
ters of the Grand Orient of France, T.
Wharton colleus and James Foulhouze,
claiming authority over that of the Free
and Accepted Masons Of Louisiana.
Atheism was the cornerstone of ore and
Deism that OF the other.

Do Good-It Paws.

A Chicago man has observed that
"Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds-some Of the latter are wortBiess.
Act kindly aud gently, show sympathy
aud lend helping hand. You cannot
possibly lose by IT," Most men appre-
ciate kind word and encouragement
more than substantial help. There are
persons in. this community who might
truthfully say: "My good friend, cheer
up. A few doses Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will rid you Of your cold

"Who WAS Blennerhassetfp is a mooted

and engaged in merchandising for the

.a1OId pinneer Gone.

Mrs. Rebecca Collins. one of the old est citizens of TeXarkana. died last week, aged S6 years. The deceased was known by all the old residents of both Miller and Bowie counties, having re- moved from Alabama to the present site of Texarkana over thirty years ago before the town was laid out. Her husband, a most remarkable man, died about six years ago at the age of S6. When he removed to Texas he was man without means, well up in years. the war having swept away the say ings of a life time at his old home in Alabama. With that energy and perse- verance characteristic of the sturdy pioneers of America MT. Collins went to work in new and undeveloped sec tion and builded for himself and his life partner comfortable home and acquired modest competency to keep them in their old age. Their children reside at several points in Arkansas and Texas, and their grandchildren and great atgrandehildren are probably more numerous than those of any other family in the two states.

wom.n,s Aid SYiIctl.u

The following letter is being sent out to the club women of Arkansas by Miss Sue II. Walker, of Fayetteville, worlds fair directory.
 ITO the Club Women of the State Having been honored with the posi- tion of lady manager for Arkansas at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1903, 1t is my earnest desire to secure the best exhibit of woman's work to be obtained. The women of our state are not deficient in accomplishments many of them are exceptionally tai ented-and it is only necessary to arouse their state pride and impress upon them the necessity for individual effort and personal interest in this work, to issue a beautiful display. Louisiana Purchase Clubs should be organized in each town, and it has oc- cured to me that you. the club women fthe state, should take the initiative in this. As progressive and represen- tatiye women, your interest and infiu- ence would be most effective. There is no time to lose if we expect to get up creditable exhibit. Of course I will do all in my power for the success of this undertaking, but without the cor dial assistance of the women of the state my individual efforts will avail but little. I earnestly ask your coop eration, also that of the honorary lady commissioners appointed by Gov Da- wis, and hope that the result will be an exhibit of which the whole state will be proud"

Damage from sleet and Snow.

Heavy sleet and snow, followed by a freezing rain January 2Sth caused thousands of dollars damage through out the state. At Little Rock the heay- jest losers were merchants, whose stocks were in many instances almost ruined by water which seeped through the roofs, covered with several inches of snow. Several roofs gave way under the enormous weight, and all day and night of the 29th laborers were in great demand at wages ranging from s1 to 8 per hour, to shovel the sleet from the buildings. Following the heavy sleet was a slow rain. which only added to the trouble. Schools were suspended. street car traffic stopped and all communication by wire greatly crippled. Professional men. clerks, merchants and all class es left their places to assist in saving property by shoyeling the snow from buildings. The loss at Little Rock will not be less than half million, one firm alone placing the damage at $100,- 000. As this loss is of character not protected by insurance, it falls heavy on the victims.

 The space to be occupied by the Grand Trunk will be about 1000 square feet, and will be one of the most attractive and most interesting exhibits at the show The Grand Trunk has expended thousands of dollars Tn bringing before the people of the United States and foreign countries the beauties of the Canadian districts. In the districts em- braced in what is known as "the Highlands ef Ontario" nearly 30 000 tourists were car red during the summer months. the ma lority of whom were from the United States These districts have become SO popular that each year finds the hotel accommodation in ereasing and modern and up-to-date struc- lures are being erected to accommodate the ever increasing travel that is being brought into Canada
