MR.. MOSELY FINDS IDEAL.

Dayton. Ohio, Dec. 3.-Alfred Mosely
and 4 party Of English editors, who
are inspecting the leading educa tional
institutions of these United States,
have been at Dayton. Ohio, as guests
Of President John H. Patterson, Of
the National Cash Register Company.
After inspecting the works thoroughly
Mr.. Mosely said What is being done
here is wonderful. The advanced ideas
which have been worked out here in
practical form will spread in this coun-
try and in Europe and then we shall
get a real solution of the labor ques-
ton. I do not know of any other insti-
tuition in the world which offer such
an illustration of proper working con-
ditions. I have never seen such condi-
tions elsewhere. This factory is being
conducted in as nearly a perfect man.

DRAGON" CIGAR IS
NON-UNI0N MADE.

Chicago, Dec s.-The labor press is
calling attention to the fact that "The
Dragoon," the latest union cigar
being put on the market by the To-
bacco Trust, has been kicked out of
the German market. AS it's name i'm
plies, it was Intended for Emperor
Williams soldiers, but they would
have none of it. Therefore the To-
bacco Trust is trying to induce the
American public to accept something
that has been rejected by foreigners.
This "Dragoon" cigar is advertised
as clear Havana 10 cent cigar but
they will sell you all you can carry
for cents each, and if that's not in
ducement enough they will throw in
five pounds of Dukes Mixture with
every 100, thus making a genuinely
good scab combination to carry around
and insult your friends with.
'This would be a very heavy load
for any honest person to attempt to
carry" says a labor paper, land if ev-
cry cigarmaker and union man will do
his duty the scab Dragon will soon
break the backbone of Dukes (scab)
Mixture.''
The Tobacco Trust never sleeps. 1t
believes in long hours and short wages.
Long hours, because it works while
you sleep. Short wages, in order to
INCREASE it's dividends and be able to
compete with honest people.

HAS IRELAND MOVED
TO TENNESSEE MINES

Coal Creek, Tenn, Dec. 3.-The sixty
seven ejectmnt suits instituted against
union miners by the Coal Creek Coal
Company were decided this week. The
company won in sixty-five,. the union
miners winning the the two remaining
cases. Proceedings will, it is thought,
be instituted at once to excuse the
ejectments, removing the miners from
the companys houses. The Fratervi1le

and many remain so until the ejeot-
ment proceedings are terminated. UnS

LABOR DOES NOT WANT
GIRLS IS MESSENGERS
UNIONS STRONGLY OPPOSE THE M
NOVATION BY WESTERN UNION.
Indianapolis Unions Take Decided
Stand Against Western Union Te1e-
graph Company. Girls are Employ
ed In Large Numbers In Many
Cities. Not Good Place For Girls
to Work,

indianapolis, Dec. 3.-The Central
Labor Union of Indianapolis has taken
a stand against the employment of
young girls as messengers i'll the office
of telegraph companies of that city.
At the last regular meeting of the.
central body the first step against the
innovation was taken. A resolution
was introduced, one clause of which
was as follows:
"Resolved. That the Legislative Com~
mittee of the Central labor Union
joins with other organizations having
similar purposes in view, or, if neces-
sary, take the initiative in the intro~
duction of the Legislature, making it
unlawful for the employment of girls
in the messenger service and other
pursuits inimical to their moral wel-
fare"
The point of attack of the resolu~
tion is the Western Union Telegraph
Company of that city, which has rec-
emily employed about fifteen girls to
deliver messages. The practice has
also been taken up. in the Eastern
cities, Boston in particular, where girls
are employed exclusively. The Indian-
apolis office has been employing the
girls for the past two or three weeks,
and officials of the company say they
give satisfaction and are satisfied
with the work.
Since the employment of young girls
in a number of large cities of the
country expressions against the custom
have been heard pretty generally from
organized labor, on the ground that
the work of a messenger is not tho
proper employment for girl of fifteen
or sixteen years, as it jeopardIzes her
morals and endangers her whole future
life.
The resolution was indorsed and
referred to the Legislative Committee,
which will investigate the law that
bears upon the employment of girls
under improper conditions, and if it
can not be brought against the COM
panies, will take action themselves.
Organized labor charges that the
practice has been taken up by the
telegraph companies in order to se-
cure cheaper labor. regardless of the
! results upon young girls.

another conference looking to the set
tlement Of the strike in the Northern
Colorado coal fields will be arranged
in a few days. Both the operators and
many of the miners were disappointed
at the failure to come to an agree

that if it can be arranged to have an
other ballot taken, those who favor
settlement will be in the majority.

at $36 per bale, leaving, as it supposed, a margin of at least $5.50 per bale. Of this amount the bank has bills of lading for 215 bales of cotton, and that is safe. There is nothing to account for the other 4, 400 bales except ware house receipts on the compress agent at Fl Dorado, and it now developes, as alleged, that there is no cotton at Fl Dorado. It is thus claimed that this amount has been fraudulently ob- tained from the bank, and of course it will be complete loss unless the railroad company should be held re- sponsible. In the same connection it is stated that at least $500 additional bales have been receipted for and the receipts kited elsewhere, perhaps in New Orleans and at other points where the financial institutions make loans on cotton.

TUPELO TIPS.

Rev. Jas. F. Jernigan filled his regu- lar appointments at Snapps and Tu- pelo last Sunday. He will preach at Avergne at 11:00 a. m., and at Well don at 700 p. m. next Sunday.
 May the good roads convention at Little Rock be the beginning of the ending of bad roads. Roads we need and roads we must have, or perish. Give us men, money and time and we will have as good roads as can be built. By the way, don't our capitol city, Newport, need a good street conven- ton, rather than liquor license? If the citizens would put their hands in their pockets and say: "Mud, be- gone!" the Question of good streets would be settled, and trade would in- crease fifty or seventy five per cent. Don't dam your boys and girls for street money. Better walk in mud knee deep than do this. If licenses are granted the recording angel will never be off duty day nor night
 
 Cupid has been playing his naughty tricks at Tupelo, and more then one widower has been pierced through the heart by his running dart. The last victim was MT. T. w. Collier, and the bride was Miss Lovice Muslin. The marriage was in the church, the cere- mony being pronounced by the pastor. The attendants were Prof. Bowen, of Weldon, and MT. Allen Collier, of Tupelo, and the two sisters of the bride, Misses Cora and Odie Muslin of Newport. Miss Alma Gulley of Vel don presided at the organ with her usual ease and grace. This writer is not well versed in the lingo of trous- seaus, but the bride was beautifully adorned and looked sweet and amia- ble as marchal neal rose tipped with dew-drops. She is an elegant young lady endowed with both grace and cultivation, and MT. Collier is to be congratulated in winning such a noble character to preside over his lovely and well provided home. He is one of Jackson county's best men, born and raised near Tupelo, and by energy and economy, has gathered this worlds good in abundance, and under these new and happy conditions the sunshine will be brighter, the birds sing more sweetly, and life be more significant.

SNAILS OVERRUN A CITY.
Inhabitants of Indiana Town Organ- ixe Night Hunts and Kill
 the Pests with Salt.

A plague of snails, or slugs, as the af- f1icted people call them, lately struck Jeffersonville, Ind, in full force, and instances are cited where persons have been compelled to move. Their first appearance was after the flood of Feb ruary. 1884. but they have never been so bad as at present. The pests are not exactly like snail. but resemb ble them in some respects. They have no shells and are night raiders, says the New York World.
 At no place in the city where the flood water failed to reach has one of the slugs been seen, but in the most fashionable quarters the pests are numerous. In size they range from one to six inches in length, being from quarter to an inch in diameter. It is not until ten o'clock at night that the snails come out of their hiding places, under houses, and slug hunting parties have become fashionable.
 Armed with lamp and a cup of salt, the people hunt for the pest, and when slug Is found its days are numbered, for the smallest particle of salt means death. The more salt the quicker the work.
 They leave behind slimy track, that furnishes clew to their movements. In some places fine carpets have been ruined, the slimy tail eating like acid.
 One of the most peculiar character istics of the sings is their ability to get their large bodies through a small space. They flatten out almost as thin as knife blade. allowing them to crawl through a good-sized door crack.
