selves the name of Coal Handlers and

That the BARRIERS are out for the pur-
pose OF winning the prizes offered by

which they are drilling for the occasion.

movements OF a military character under
| the direction OF Mr.. Joseph II. Riley. The
men are TO drill every Tuesday and

There were several other meetings of
various unions last night. but nothing
| transpired OF an unusual nature except
the regular business OF any organiza-
ton, and the furthering OF plans for a
great success on Labor day. Among
the unions which met for this purpose

.sa~a~sss k9oneyss speech tu sh~
United States Senate anent the In
dianola affair, was one of those adj
dresses that will ring into the ears
Of that body for years to come, and
Il stands as among the most logical
and convincing argument Of the
past session. Senator Money has
always measured up to the highest
standard Of excellency, whether III
debate or doing committee work,
and his last grand effort only tends
to lift him higher IN the esteem of
the entire nation. The speech pub

read by every man within the con.
fines Of this nation with profit and
enlightenment. The I. d. after
reading condensed report Of the
speech, commented unfavorahly up
ON II In all editorial, but after read
ing the address rs delivered, has
this to say;
I'VE have since read the full text
of Senator Moneys speech. and we
now wish to withdraw our earlier
criticism of his address. We be-
lieve that IN intimate and pro found
knowledge OF the subject; In mas
terry Of detail; in boldness and sim
cerity of statement, and In power
of convincing argument, this speech
Of Senator Moneys, like that re-
Gently made by his colleague, Mr..
McLaurin. ranks with the best adj
dresses recently heard In the United
States Senate.
II reflects honor upon him who
made II, upon the commonwealth
of Mississippi and upon his fellow
citizens in the Southern States.
II Is a great speech. and It comes
at the proper psychological moment
to do the South aud the nation the
most possible good.

Woodviile has enjoyed an era Of
marked prosperity during the past
few years, as the result OF which
two large brick stores have been
erected. together with a magnid-
cent bank building. aud several
modern residences, a deliniing plant
and one Of the best equipped oil
mills in the state Besides these
additions the spirit Of progress Is
in evidence in all parts Of the town
and it ran be readily discerned
that the tendency of the times is
TO advance. An electric light and
water works plant viii be installed
as soon as a sufficient supply Of
water can be secured, aud this will
aid Us in gettiug out of the woods.
These additions TO our town are a
natural outgrowth of a display of
enterprise and push on the part OF
our public spirited citizens. and
now that we have started the bail
il is our duty TO keep II rolling.

must be UP and doing. An ice

is no longer a luxury but an actual
necessity, with the rich and poor
alike, and a factory IN this town
would place 1t within the reach OF
all pockets.
After this comes the wood facto-
~ for the manufacture of furniture,
farm implements, etc. The hard
woods In close proximity to this
place make 1t an advantageous To-
cation for such a factory, and all

would bring ready money into th'

way Of wages and to the farmer
who own timber, and as a result th'
merchants would come III for thei
quota. This Is a matter that W
trust some Of our business men vii
Interest themselves to the exteu
that wood factory will be one o

Little soul and little body went

With little body aud little soul, he

feathers all wrong;
And he strutted 50 big, and COB
bled so loud,
That the good people thought him
wonderfully endowed.
So they made him a Governor,
which made him swell more,
And he beckoned a man, with a
bribe, to his door,
And he gobbled aloud that the peo-
pie might see;
And he cried. WAS there ever

He looked at the Senate and flown

And he swelled till lie swelled clean
