The Great Work Begun.

The program for the formal
ground-breaking ceremonies held
Dec. 20, at st. Louis, marked the
beginning of the construction of
the great St. Louis Worlds Fair
included a monster civic and mil
ltary parade, and a banquet in
the evening, at which the Cover
nOrs OF many states, and other
distinguished citizens were the
guests of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition Company. The may
or of St. Louis had issued a proc
lamation declaring a half holi-
day, and the city was profllsely
decorated with flags and btlnt
ing harmoniously blending the
American emblem with the Off
cial colors of the Exposition,
presenting an exquisitely beauti-
full holiday dress.
The parade starred at II
O'Clock and was participated in
by a large detachment Of United

from the Philippine islands, the
First Regiment Of the Missouri

The Farmer of the Future.

american Agr4culturlSC.
Shall the bows stick to the
farm, is a question WHICH every
farmer must ask himself at one
time or another. Unfortunately
it has been too frequently an
swered in the negative, and the
boy has been trained to view
farm life as drudgery and to look
upon the guilt and tinsel Of the
city as something to be greatly
desired. For generations the
best blood of the country has
been given to the city, and the
farming community deprived Of
It's strongest, brainiest boys.
The small farm and limited CAPT
1al have not offered opportun-
tiles for the ambitious boy who
is destined to handle a largebusi-
ness and thousands of dollars
annually. But the great major
ity of boys, boys who have good
sense and moderate ambitions,
who would find a modern farm
as great as is their capacity to
manage, have also left the tonn-
cry to seek work III the cities.
where they can earn only meager
salaries and lay nothing aside
for q rainy day or old age.
With the methods which our
fathers and grandfathers pur-
sued, the farm does not yield a
fair return of profit for capital
and labor invested, IN every
other line Of business the most
successful men are not those who
follow in the footsteps Of their
predecessors, and competitors,
but those who blaze a new path,
who adopt new and improved
methods and devices, IN short,
those who make the greatest use
of brains ard common sense.
Yet in few lines of business is the
per cent OF profit SO great as in
modern, advanced farming-it is
the small profit on a vast out
put that brings such large
amountsof gain. Were the same
energy. push and brains put into
the management of a farm, a
good income and comfortable
living could be obtained. The
successful farmer of the future
most needs to be an educated
one. That a boy of average
ability can make a good thing OF
farming is plainly shown by the
testimony of several agricultural
college men. As one ofthem truly
remarks, interest, energy and
push are necessary to success,
The future farmer will find that
the best investment he can make
is to secure a good education and
training ia advanced agriculture.

So many well-to-do' farmers
have nice country homes and in
some localities they are referred
to as country seats" y little
city girl was reading of one of
these places and she asked her
brother what it meant. Having
been in the country he knew what
it was and very gravely told her
that y was a milking stool. Be

WITH CURRENCY OF COUNTRY
January Next Will Find That the
Treasury Will Contain
OVER SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
And With All Its Current Obi
cations Squared.

The statement has been made by
one or two newspapers that the mil
lion dollar state house was built with
back tax money paid into the treasury
by the revenue agent. This statement
as is usually the case with those who
are hunting faults in others, is wholly
erroneous as the records in the aud
itors office will show. The state
revenue agent has paid into the treas
ury from all sources during the three
years of his administration four hun
dred and forty Thousand dollars, four
hundred thousand dollars, of five per
cent bonds were called in five years
before they were due, thus saving the
taxpayers hundred Thousand dollars
in interest. To call in these bonds
took Just forty thousand dollars less
than the amount paid into the treas
ury by the state revenue agent. Seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
cash has been paid on the new state
house and the other two hundred
thousand dollars will be paid as the
building progresses. Not dollar Of
the million dollars of bonds author
lied to be issued by the two legisla
lures have been used. These bonds
were authorized to run for thirty
years with an option of fifteen years,
the state officers having avoided the
issuance of bonds by wise and bust
nesslikse methods, have saved the
state at least six hundred Thousand
dollars in interest, and if the state
had not been able fifteen years from
now to exercise its option then they
have saved the tax payers a million
two hundred Thousand dollars. When
this administration came in taxes were
reduced from six and a half mills, a
saving during the -four years of the
present administration to the tax pay
ers, in taxes alone, of four hundred
and sixty-fve thousand dollars. Con-
federate pensions were increased from
seventy five thousand to two hundred
thousand; appropriations for common
schools we're increased quarter of
million annually, and increased APP
preparations were made to all of the
state colleges and elemosynary institu-
lions and additions made thereto. All
these things, not to mention textile
school branch experimental stations
and other progressive enterprises es-
tablished, including the purchase of
an $50, 600 prison farm.
Auditor Cole stated that there will
be sixty thousand dollars in the treas
ury after meeting all demands on the
treasury on the first day of January.
This showing is one of the most re-
markable made by any state in the

on THE FENCE ALREADY.

The esteemed Vicksburg American
and Hattiesburg Progress have been
the first newspapers III the state TO
offer opposition to the proposal of the
prohibitionists to make campaign
next year for state prohibition. We
have in mind several other strong
newspapers which will take the
ground that high license or dispen-
saries are preferable to prohibition
and blind tigers, but this sentiment
will be responded to only in the
larger cities where the people are
brought face to face with the shame
full evil of the illigal sale of intoxi-
-cants. In the country districts where
the greater vote will be polled, and
where the people have no intimate
knowledge of the Illicit traffic in
liquor, the sentiment will be all the
other way, and this gives the Star
reason for believing that the prohibit
tion candidate. or candidate for the
legislature who. will promise his
constituents to vote for bill declar-
ing for state prohibition will be the
one to receive the greatest number Of
votes Meridian Star.

He had many thousand acres on the

The News, which is on the ground
and should know what it is talking
about, says that by the first of Janu
airy the state treasury will contain
sixty thousand dollars with all obliga
tions met. We are just wondering
who to thank for this fine showing.
The governor may have had some
thing to do with it or Writ Adams or
it all may be charged up to the pros
porous condition of the country. At
any rate our state treasury is getting
full, like some proihbitionists, and it
does not matter so much what is fill
ing it so it gets full. The News
denies that Writ Adams had much to
do with filling the treasury, but since
he put in four hundred and forty
thousand dollars, it must be admitted
that it was some help.

they have but little hope of electing
it, they hope to get foot-hold by
this means in the state. The candi

the biggest court he has had for
months. 1t appears for the past few
days some people in the city have
gone crazy. There were about twenty
cases in all and the neat little sum of
about hundred and fifty dollars was
taken in. These cases consisted of
nearly everything that could be
though of that was a violation of
the law-s stealing, fighting, shooting
craps, shooting pistols inside of the
corporation, and other violations of
the law. The mayor did not seem to
show any of them much mercy and put
