An Historic Flag.

It is stated that the remnants Of
the historic battlefag of the Four
teenth Mississippi regiment will be
brought to the annual reunion Of the
Confederate veterans in Jackson
during the early part Of June. This
flag, only small portion of which is
left, has quite an interesting his
tory. Its original decoration was a
likeness of Jefferson Davis and t..e
Goddess of Liberty on one side,
while on the other was a serpent
coiled around an eagles nest. The
flag was carried by Mr.. Andrew
Payne until he was captured at Fort
Donelson, and even then he did not
part with it, but managed to con-
ceal the tattered remnants of the
banner in his coat lining and kept it
there without discovery until he was
exchanged six months later. He still
has the remnants in his possession
and expects to attend the Jackson
reunion and exhibit the precious re-
lie to his old comrades.

'.Then he married Tor money re-
piled her companion. "Well, am
and disappointed in Ralph
Morgan"
Madge never knew how she reached
home-stunned and stupeied. Could
it be true? Married for her money!
How the words rang IN her earsl
She must try and think lii she could
think-and remember. She had = al
ways cared for him. Could it be pos
sible that he had not spoken the
truth, that her very love had blind
ed her; that he had pttied her too,
seeing how much she loved him
She remembered how lonely she had
been when her parents died, and she
was left alone in the dear old home.
How grateful she had felt when
friends were kind! How natural it
had seemed to have that oldest friend
of her childhood come often to the
house! How many tastes they had
in common; how easy it had been to
look for his coming, to learn to need
him! AS the numbness passed off,
horror came in it's place; she was
no longer ScuIlS "OAdus OuC OAC
enraged, furious. She could almost
find it in her heart to hate him-so
to break her faith, her trust. O it
could not be true! Surely they had
been happy these two short years.
She had begged to stay on in her
own old home. She had never cared
for money, or thought her independ-
ence unusual. His new business had
flourished without aid from her capi-
tai. Everything had run smoothly,
because she was loving and tactful
and unlike many girls, had, through
the delicate health of her mother
early become an experienced house
keeper.
She had thought him happy, and
if occasionally he was quiet and seri'
Gus, she had supposed it some bnsi'
ness worry, or blamed herself fol
dullness, for not being bright OF
clever enough to cheer him. Surely
this horrible thing could not be true!
But then again, those dreadful words
rang in her ears with dull persistency
The Grenada sentinel., 1903-04-11

-"'married for her money''-blotting
plain little thing'-that was true, yet
he had never appeared to think SO.
Into the depths of agony her warm,
throbbing woman's heart was en-
quilted. If ''love knows the meaning
of grief" sister women can live in
sympathy with the acute pangs of
distress experienced at such an awak-
ening-such a shattering of an idol
set up in her heart. I rue, faithful
love exists to-day, as it has even
done, but the ''mists of the mortap'
are many, and the desire to make
a good appearance quickly-to pos
sess a well-appointed house and
full purse without effort, offers
temptations to many young man.
She remembered hearing men say:
'Oh, no, I would not marry for
money, but I'll take precious good
care not to fall in love except where
money is" But those were merely
words spoken in jest, or by men
whom she knew to be worldly and
selfish.
Slowly she left the fireside; wear
lily climbed the stair to enter the
room, close the door, and think, and
try to collect her scattered senses
She would not believe such things
of her husband-her darling, her very
life. Then the demon of jealousy
never before awakened, arose. That
Grace" and she was beautiful, they
said; but surely she had never loved
him as she did. Naturally free
from conceit, easily doubtful of any
charm in herself, it was all too easy
to believe.
ooh, I might have known no one
could like me for myself, blind fool
that have been!" she .groaned. Her
baby, sleeping in the nursery, was
forgotten for the moment in the
night OF this anguish that oppressed
her. The nurse had gone downstairs,
and the little creature awakened cry
ing. That appealing sound reused
her, and, going to her, she took the
baby in her arms, clasping her close
" and crying passionately: "My
baby, my baby! you are all I have
now!'' The child INST have been
conscious Of = tragedy, and hushed
her weeping to gaze afrriEhtei in it's
| uother's face.
The Grenada sentinel., 1903-04-11

Yet affection was strong in her heart.
1t had seemed unusually hard to part,
and even baby's tiny hands had
more closely than their wont.
"Take care of yourself, sweet
heart" he said, in tre1nulous voice,
as though, strong man that he was,
it was no easy task to say "good-by''
II hope this is the last of these
long journeys"
Later in the day she had gone out
to make some little purchases, and
coming back in street car, had
sat near two ladies whom she did
not know. She could not avoid hear
ing their conversation, though
scarcely noting what was said, until
she heard her own and her husband s
names.
$50 Ralph Morgan did not marry
Grace Girton after all; how was it?
said the younger woman. "I've
been abroad so long that I've missed
the home gossip. He was so much
in love with her, we knew it was
serious, and he was always at the
house. She was such a pretty girl,
too, it would have been such a suit
able match.'
''He claimed to be her brothers
friend, but of course everyone knew
that he was not the attraction" re-
turned the other.
o women! women! little do you
know the consequences of your light
ly spoken words, your idle gossip.
Surely, more charity, more sympathy,
more tenderness would be shown,
could the speakers imagine their vic
tim within ear-shot. And are there
not parts of the lives of others SO
exclusively their own, so sacred, that
it is want of delicacy even to guess
at what their thoughts, feelings OF
relations may be?
"You say he is married." continued
the first speaker; do you know his
wife?'
mo, and funny enough, I've never
seen her, though we have exchanged
calls. They say he would not have
broken his engagement with Grace
: but for business losses. You know
her father is not rich, and the wife
has plenty Of money. but is plaina
sensible little thing who fairly
adores him.

Mississippi Charter.

The month of March has been a
record breaker in the way of new
business enterprises incorporated in
the State. Secretary of State J. w.
Power announces that the fees col
lected on account of new charters
recorded during March amount 10
$2,S02.2 These figures exceed the
highest previous month by nearly
800. The extraordinary rush of
charters for March has kept Secre-
tary Power on his p's and q's, and
the office has been rushed to its full
est capacity. Mr.. Powers states that
the charter business in his office IS
steadily on the increase every month.
March showed fifty-six charters re-
corded against forty-fve as the
greatest previous number, and April
has started in with several new cor
porations applying for charters.

To Breed Pearls.

Charles Kerr, an old fisherman
and river pilot of Jackson, has es-
tablished an industry that promises
millions in possibilities with almost
no investment of capital. H: ha:
undertaken to breed pearls in m:sscl
shells and for this purpose has cen
structed vat in which the nlusscl;
are kept. The modus operandi is to
gently pry open the shell and insert
one or two small birdshot, around
which he believes will form the Sc
cretions of which pearls are made.
Thus far the experiment has not
progressed sufficiently far to ascer-
tain whether the mussels will take
kindly to it, but Mr.. Kerr is conf
dent of success.

Demurrer Overruled.

Judge Robert Powell has over
ruled the demurrer to the suit of
Revenue Agent Writ Adams against

way Company and the Gulf & Ship
Island Railway Company. The
revenue age1a; seeks to charge the
companies with the $1,000 per mile
special privilege tax levied by stat
ute and the companies demurred,
stating that the revenue agent
should first have the railroad COM
mission assess the taxes before he
could proceed to demand them.
Judge Powell holds that this is not
necessary. The case will now be
heard on it's merits.

Mississippi State News
Late Planting Season.

Farming operations in Mississippi
generally promise to be later than
for many seasons past, owing to the
unusually large amount of rainy
weather and the protratccd length of
the food season. Corn planting will
not be we'll under way until the mid
die of April, and only small per-
centage of the cotton crop will be in
the ground at that time, while the
bulk of the acreage is not likely to
be planted before the first Of May.
The lateness of the season, however,
is not cause Of great worry among
the farmers, as some late crops are
much better than those planted ear

is doing poorly, the growth Of plants
being much retarded, and the out
look generally is not at all encour-
aging.
