Henri Barrault Mrs Wilson'S orchid hunter,
was trained, like Pericat, in the Conservatives
of Baron de ROthschild. He has been in Coom-
bia for three years. and during this time he has
shipped to Philadelphia several thousands of the
finest plants. Barrault has had to fight in the
revolutions there, and he has suffered much
from fever, but the following paragraph about
him which recently appeared in Washington
paper has elements of exaggeration:
"In his eager quest for a wonderful snow
white orchid he has fallen over the edge of
precipice 1000 feet in depth. He has been at
tackled. tormented and all but eaten up by hun
dreds of big black ants. He has been near
deaths door with the fevers of the tropical
swamps. He has been robbed and deserted by
his guides and left alone to starve in wellnigh
fmpenetrable Andean mountain forests He has
had to fight murderOus guides for his life He
has led Colombian troops in victorious battle
An unknown enemy some years ago entered
one OF Mrs. Wilson's greenhouses by night and
poisoned a half-dOzen of her most valuable
plants. The plants sickened. and in few days
died They were cattleyas and their value
ceeded $4,000
To discover the cause of their mysterious
death they were submitted to a chemist for
analysis. He found them permeated with EIo-
lent poison. The drug ne decided. had been
sprayed on their aerial roots, and they had alb
sorbed it quickly.
The police of the city were Informed. ana a
number OF detectives tried to find the poisoner,
directing their attention mainly to the profess
sional rivals of the gardener. Pericat- They
had no success, however. and the murderer OF
the flowers is still at large Since that fatality
the Wilson greenhouses have all been protected
with an elaborate system of safety locks.

an agent This agent visits the most mac
cessble forests of South America, of Asia, and
of the Philippines, gathering there from the
lofty trees plants that have been prOpa eating
for centuries. He must pluck his orchids in the
dry season, when they are of withered and
dead appearance, and they must be shipped in
this state only, for when they blooming they
cannot stand any change of temperature any
rough handling.
Alphonse Pericat said recently of the Roth
schild orchids:
'"The Baron de Rothschild employs 800 men
on his plantation, which is many times larger
than Mrs. Wilson'S Great wagonloads of the
blooms are sent each week to decorate the vari-
Gus residences of their owner But the collec-
ton consists of countless duplicates of the same
species; there are in it nothing like the number
of unique and rare specimens that the collection
of Mrs. Wilson contains. The Baron de Roth
schd cultvates orchids to adorn his house; Mrs.
Wilson because she is interested in possessing
matchless collection
The Seeding house is perhaps the most inter-
esting feature of the Wilson orchid farm. This
house contains 2000 orchids, growing in pots
bigger than after dinner cu--e cups. Each
of these orchids grown from seeds by Peri
cat, and many of them unique specimens.
The Seeding orchids in year will be inch
high, in two years three inches They never
bloom till they are five six years old, and
some Of them do not bloom till they twenty
five. They grow twice fast this wild.
Wild or cultivated, the average length of life is
from seventy-five to hundred years.
In January Pericat will exhibit in Boston a
white cypripedium with mottled leaves He has
taken first prize wherever he has exhibited, and
he expects to take Boston's first prize, too. He
will carry the cypripedium, wrapped in flannel,
in his from Philadelphia to Boston, as
though it We're a child The plant is worth
$1,000.
Mrs Wilson's orchids are many that there
are multitudes of them blooming all through
the year. Among her unique plants is the
Phalanopsis Harrietta, of mottled mauve with
strange stripings. Among her Mexican orchids
is the Laa magalis alba. which she carried
from Mexico herself that it might not suffer on
the journey The Ainsworthn calorum, in her
cyprpedium group. is the largest orchid in

Thanks Returned

We, the undersigned carriers of
Routes and 3, respectively, of The
Daily Progress, take this occasion to
thank the kind and considerate peo-
pie along oar routes who so generous
ly contributed to our pleasure on
Christmas eve.
The gitts of all are appreciated
alike, as it is the remembrance more
than the value of the gifts, we cherish
and the same will serve to make our
burdens the tighter through the days
of the coming year.
We had no reason to expect any
thing like the shower of good and
pretty things we received and the ag-
gregate is so large as to cause US to
doubt our unworthiness of it all.
In consideration of all this kind
ness we here, from the bottom of our
hearts, again thank one and all !;
pledge renewed determination to be
faithful to duty; offer compliments
of the season, and wish for all most
happy new year.

Our AcknOwIeJ gment

The editor of The Progress was
generously remembered Christmas eve
night by Mr.. H. H. Orr in the shape
OF about as tempting a basket of
choice fruits and CONNECTIONS as one
could imagine. In the basket were
seven distinct kinds of fruit, several
brands of choice candies and three
or four kinds of nuts, the collection
covering everything that could pos
sibly be desired, the whole giving an
idea of the choice line of such things
that Mr.. Orr handles at his place.
The remembrance is doubly priced
coming as it did from friend. such
as we have always known Mr.. Orr to
be, and for its value.

The big department store of r. O.

that everybody wanted to crowd into

time, and this anxiety was kept up to
the IL O'Clock at night hour, when
the massive doors were closed to allow
the tired out force to snatch little

The attraction there was the low
prices at which everything is being
closed out, and the sale is still on
and will be continued until JAN

CARRIER BOYS OVATION.
They Meet with Most Generous
Reception at Nearly Every
place Christmas Eve.

If ever there were two happy boys
in Hattiesburg, it were little Mercer
Richardson and Howard Montague,
(carriers of The Daily Progress. on
Thursday evening.
1t had been heralded through The
Progress for several days ahead that
ON their rounds Thursday they would
distribute along with the paper copies
of the Carriers Address and this
was all that the good people along the
routes needed 70 know and they were
on the lookout for them and at nearly
every place present of some kind
was given them.
In money alone Mercer Richardson
received So. 81, while the presents of
other kinds, in value amounted to
much more than this. and telephone
messages are still coming to the office
from different ones who were not at
home Thursday saying that they
would have something for the little
fellows Saturday or Monday when
they came around with their papers
Little Howard Montague received
in Money in the aggregate 81 and ten
or fifteen dollars worth of presents.
1t was the first time that news
paper in Hattiesburg ever grew so
metropolitan as to attapmpt a carriers
address, and for some such thing
was seen Thursday for the first time
and this being the case and consid-
cred, the result as above epitomized,
was very gratifying to the office,
the little boys being made ex eedingly
qappy, this being the sole object of
the in novation.
In another place the little fellows,
in their own beautiful, innocent Ian
guage and over their own signatures,
thank the good people who SO gener-
ously contributed to their happiness
Christmas eve, and the management
takes occasion here to say that the
office highly appreciates the substan
tai acknowledgment o f these little
boys faithful ness and fidelity to duty.

THE DAY In HATTIBSBURG.
General Observance-Drizzly Rain
Deserted Streets-No Casu-
altieS of Importance.

The observance of Christmas day
in Hattiesburg was about as general
as it was possible to make it, every
place OF business being closed and
the time given to the pursuit of
pleasure in keeping with the nur-
poses of the day.
To the noon hour there was not
time when as many as a half dozen
persons could be seen along the entire
business main and at the 10 O'Clock
hour the desertion was so Complete as
to cause the monotony to be both sad
and painful for at that hour not =
soul along Main street could be seen
10 break the relying stiffness.
Along about three o. clock, however,
the streets began to fill up with a
good-humored gathering, whose faces
told thst the day had been a joyous
one with them, but there was no at
tempt at business, all being satisfied
with the big trade of the day before
and quite willing to take full advan-
tage of the opportunity to rest from
their labors.
All in all it was a most glorious
Christmas day, the rain ocoasioning
no Inconvenience since every one
preferred spending the day at home,
and The Progress wishes here to con-
gratulata Hattiesburg upon the royal
coming of Christmas 1908. its becom
ing observance and its going, leaving
