CHARGED WITH ARSON.
Two Young White Boys of Hat
tiesburg Charged With the Me-
ridian Quarters Fire.

Sunday Chief of Police Moffett ar.
rested Marvin Dearman, and Walter
Burnside and landed then in the jail
with the charge preferred against them
of setting fire to and burning the
houses over in the Meridian quarters
the first of last week and which
houses belonged to Cooper Ducks
worth, George Hammer and George
Hayes. 1t is stated that the evidence
is very strong against the boys, Chrit
McInnis, who was implicated, having
turned states evidence before he was
arrested and gave Mr. Moffett a full
account of the plans to burn the
buildings.
Mr.. Moffett has been working up the
case ever since the morning of the
fire, having even at that early hour
some strong evidence of the guilty
parties. He carefully followed up the
clue he had, hoping to clinch it as
tightly as he could, at the same time
to be certain that he had all the par
ties who had any connection with the
burning of the buildings.
The preliminary trial of the two
boys now in Jail will be held in a
few days when all the evidence in the
case will come out in court.

GULF & SHIP ISLAND BRANCH.
From Mendenhall to Columbia
New DepotS Being EstabliSed
Along the Line.
To the Editor of the Progress.

! To the Editor of the Progress.
The writer has just returned from
an extended trip over the new road
being built by the Gulf and Ship
Island company, the railroad company
that is doing so much for the devel-
opment of south Mississippi. This
new extension is being made from
Mendenhall via Silver Greek to Col
umbia, and will open up one of the
finest agricultural and timbered sec
tions in the south. The Pearl and
Leaf Rivers railroad will connect
at Silver Greek. This new develop
ment means much for Hattiesburg and
her people cannot be too grateful to
the Gulf and Ship Island and the
Pearl and Laef Rivers roads for this
wonderful development, which is
being pushed as fast as money and
men can push it.
The Mendenhall branch passes one
and a half miles west of Westville,
Simpson county, where new depot
has been located called Pianola.
Bush and Bishop have located a depot
on their land and named it Strong.
Shrivers Bros. have located one on
their place and named it Shrivers.
Two miles west of Hebron Frank
Riley has bought few hundred acres
Of land and loctaed a depot where he
expects to build nice town. About
| four miles south Thompson Bros. have
located a depot at Grange postoffice.
1t being centrally and favorably To-
Gated they also expect to have a nice
town There is a strong effort being
made to locate depot at the Pearl
and Leaf Rivers junction, which is
one mile north of Silver Greek, though
it is to be hoped that the Silver Greek
town will be maintained. Other
developments along this line will be
made later, and we hope our mer-
chants will get their part of this new
trade.
