FIREMEN'S PARADE.

The schools, the business houses
and nearly all other houses were
closed this evening and the people
turned out i'll great droves to witness
the dremen's parade, the first ever
given in this city. City officials, fra
ternal orders, the soldier boys and
others were in the parade, one of the
grandest of the kind ever before wit
messed in the city.
The Progress goes to press before
the parade is fairly over, but every
thing indicates the fact that it is
highly enjoyed and great credit to
the firemen as we'll as to the entire
city. The design gotten up by Leleu,
the painter, was fine and fitting. 1t
was fireman's 5 wagon, having for its
body a monstrous freman's hat with
Firemen No. l adjoining its front.
Leleu is an artist in his line ana he
Is to give the boys all the aid he can.
The parade will wind up Ftonight
with q grand ball.

ABOUT TO FENCE Us OUT.

1t appears that the Northeastern
railroad company is about to fence out
Hattiesburg entirely Some time ago
fence was run on the property of
the company between the Klondyhe
and the railroad track, thus keeping
people off that land Since then chat
| property on the south side and be-
tween that road, the Gulf and Ship
Island and Main street has been fenced
in, the work having been completed
today. Now wOrkmen are busy run
min fence from the Dixie Marble
works down Newman street to some
where near Newman's mill when
doubtless the purpose is to turn it
across and connect with the railroad
near or at the trestle, short distance
from the bridge across Leaf river.
This will fence in all the streets be.
tween the city proper and the eastern
and southern side Of the railroad ex-
cept Main street which will be the
only outlet vehicles will have to that
part of the city. Anyone desiring to
go to the Ncman mill or down to-
ward The Gulf and Ship Island wye or
III any other part Of the city on that
side Of the railroad will have to go
the Main street route. In short
there is no other crossing or will not
be hen this fence is completed except |
by Main street, which runs through |
the heart Of the city.
This is the fault of those who |
owned the land and decided it to the ,
company, making no provisions what
ever for street opening and the city,
so it is said by some now, cannot
help itself. However one man, who
is a candidate for mayo, told the
Progress man today that f he was
elected he would see that the streets
were open or he would resign iii short
order.

MRS. NATION AT HOUSTON.
Was Elected From One Saloon,
But Sold Many HatchetS.

Houston. Tex Oct 2I.-Mrs.
Carrie Nation had quite
strenuous time in Houston last even
ing. incidentally she sold about
$500 worth of her small hatchets, and
it is the general belief here that that
is her principal object now. She
was elected from one saloon and was
carried to the police station twice,
though she was not locked up either
time. The desire of the police was
to get her out of town, and that as
quickly as possible. She left late
in the evening, bat took the train
she had originally planned to take.
She was at the Grand Central Depot
waiting for hel train when she was
informed that the proprietor of the
Carrie Nation" saloon felt badly
that she had not visited his place.
She went right away. The police
tried TO get her to stay quiet, but she
went to that saloon. The proprietor
met her at the door and She never
got inside. He explained to her
that he carried the maine as nm ad
nd she seemed somewhat pleased
though she roasted HIM and sold
some more hatchets.
A big crowd followed her to the
place in the expectation that there
would be something dong,n and
many members of the gang were
perfectly willing to help her wreck
thatOr any other saloon to the end
that there should be free whiskev at
the expense OF the saluOrkeeper.
The police tried To "hurrah" her
to begin with, but she had much the
better of il before she was done with
them. One or two of the saloons
trieu to get her to visit their places
on the ground that they would get
the advertising that would result.
but she was bit too sharp for any
/ thing of that sort.

ANOTHER ROAD TO COLUMBIA
The Officials of the Gulf and Ship
Island Have So Decided.

The Clarion Ledger of yesterday
contains the following, dispatch
from Mendenhall having been pub
lished in the Progress giving the
same news III part i'll yesterdays edi-
ton:
President Jones, of the Gulf and
Ship Island road, with a party Of the
officials of the system were in the city
las night. returning to Gulfport on
the morning train.
The officials make the important
announcement that the Ship Island
road is now getting in readiness to
build a new branch road from some
point in Simpson county, probably
Mendenhall, due south TO Columbia,
the terminal of the Columbia branch
and thus open up the finest belt of
virgin pine timber in that section of
| the state.
The surveying party left Menden-
hall few days since and prelimi-
nary survey is now being made. The
road will be about fifty miles in
length, running due southwark, and
going through portions of Simpson,
Lawrence, CovingtOn and Marion
counties. In addition to the rich tim
ber resources, both in yellow pine and
hardwoods, the section of country
through which the road runs is splen-
did for agricultural purposes. The
route is comparatively level and the
cost of construction will not be heavy.
Columbia is ON the bank of Pearl
river, and with a new branch of the
Ship Island route will have an outlet
not only to Gulfport for export lum-
ber, but also more direct route to
Jackson for lumber shipped to north
eTn and eastern points.
Construction will be commenced as
soon as the survey is made and right
Of-way secured. 1t is understood
that the citizens along the route will
offer liberal inducements.
President Jones reports that good
progress is being made with the i'm
proyement work at Gulfport. He is
giving the construction his personal
supervision, and by the opening of the
next summer season Gulfport promises
to be not only commercial point, but
a health and pleasure resort as we'll.

CROP CONDITION.
Summary of Weather Bureau End
ing Oct. 20.

Vicksburg, Oct. 22.-The average
daily mean temperature was about
normal. Light frost was observed in
the northern and east central counties
on the 18th and 10Th. Moderate
showers were quite general over the
state on the 18th and 14th, except in
the extreme northwestern counties,
where no rain fell.
Although retarded somewhat by the
rains the first of the week generally
good progress was made IN picking
cotton, except in pO tiOns Of the delta,
where there is a scarcity of pickers.
The frosty mornings hastened the
opening of late cotton, but have been
unfavorable to the light top crop
which is generally unpromising. Cot
ton picking is practically completed
on hill lands and is advancing rapidly
on low lands. Many correspondents
state that the staple is being ginned
and marketed nearly as fast as picked.
Alcorn county reports quite a marked
improvement in the yield during the
past two weeks, but as a rule, there
has been very little change in the
yiled outlook since the first of the
month.
The cool nights have checked the
growth of peas and in some counties
the crop has been injured by frost.
Corn gathering is we'll advanced with
an unusual light yield. Much hay
was saved during the week. Gar
dens, potatoes and turnips are gener-
ally fine. Fall seeding continues.

SHOT AT BOND.
A Hattiesburg White Man Killed by
Negro

Oscar Decaux was shot to death al
Bond last night by negro Decaux
was white man and a boiler maker
by trade. AT the time he was work
Ing at Watkins Machine shops when a
day or two ago he was sent to Bond to
do some boiler work there.
This morning the company re-
celved a telegram stating that the
man had been shot to death by ne
gro, but gave no further particulars.
1t is thought here that he might
have had some fun with a negro liv
ing down there, and without any fur
ther ceremony the negro pulled pis-
tol and shot him The telegram did
not state whether or not the negro
was arrested.
Decaux had worked for the shops
here long time, and besidse being
fine workman he was considered a
clever man and had many friends
working in the shops.
If the negro has not been arrested a
full description of him will be sent
out by the proper officers and his ar
rest will be certain. There is not the
least doubt that he is we'll known in
the community and doubtless is
known as a desperate negro-one of
those crap-shooting kind and one
that always go loaded with a short
shooting gun.
LATER. A dispatch to the Prog
ress states that the difficulty occurred
on one of the streets by Decaux step
ping accidentally on Frank smiths
foot, when the negro made some kind
of impudent remark concerning the
matter. Decaux then made at him
with an open knife when the negro
ran, but quickly turning shot down
the white man and then made his es-
cape to the nearby woods, since which
time nothing has been heard of him

BLACK WARRIOR COMPANY

The Black Warrior Copper company will immediately commence the con struction of an additional 2OO-ton teaching plant and a new fifty-ton blast furnace. This will give the company a combined capacity of 45O tons per day.
 James A. Fleming is president and controlling stCckholder of this com pany and has shown wonderful per sistence and energy in the upbuilding of his company, and together with his friends in Philadelphia has command Of unlimited capital. The ore bodies at the Black Warrier are inexhaustible and the quality of the bullion produced is of the highest. The Warrior com pany being the first company in Ari- Zona to turn out refrfed copper ready for the consumer, which sells for one cent a pound more than ordinary cop per, the quality of which can best be appreciated by the fact that it is used in the finest of bronze work. Recently a statue for the large park at Phila- delphia was cast out of Black Warrior copper and made a perfect casting; there was not a sign of a blcw-hole in it. A large copper contract was let recently which designated that Black Warrior copper should be used.-Tuc- son Star.

DAN CASEY DEAD
One of the Pioneer Prospectors of the
 Dos Cabezas Mts.

During the last two years Dan Casey has been an intimate of St Mary's hospital. the victim of paraly- sis. Sunday night, he passed peace fully to rest at the age of 75 years, says the Tucson Star. His brother. John Casey, being wired of his death. came over from Dos Cabezas, arriving last evening by the west bound train.
 Dan Casey. the deceased was a man O. large experience. He was one of AriZOna's best citizens He with his brother came over from Ireland when they were young men. When the war broke out Dan was appointed sutler in the Irish brigade through the in fuence of Horace Greeley. and went all through the war. After the war he embarked in the merchandise business In 1880 with his brother, John, he came to Arizona, and commenced prospect ing in Dos CabeZas, where they beat ed some rich gold mines, they have been developing and holding for many years. The brothers have done much to develop that district staying by it when many others became discouraged and left, some, however, to return and make their stake. Seven years ago the deceased was striken with paralysis and two years ago he suffered another stroke which necessitated his brother bringing him to the hospital for medi- cal aid. Under the care of the sisters of the hospital, he received all the com fort, money could provide, but he has passed away, leaving a good name for honesty, integrity and sterling charac- ter.
 His remains will he prepared for burial at the undertaking par,ors of Mir. Kelley from where the funeral will proceed to the Catholic church. The many friends Of John Casey, the be- reaved brother, will sympathize with him in his loss. May the old, honest pioneer rest in peace

 Catarrh is inflammation of the mucous membrane. It may be in the mucous membrane lining the eyes or the pelvic organs, throat, stomach, liver, bowels or kidneys.
 Catarrh is catarrh wherever located. Peruna cures cntarrh wherever located. Peruna is an internal remedy; not a local application.
 Catarrh is Q systemic disease, not Q local disease. If Peruna will cure catarrh in one place it will cure it in any other place, because Peruna is systemic rem edy. It reaches the disease through the circulation in each organ. It eradicates the disease by eradicating it from the system.
