STILL PROGRESSING.
The Burning of the Newman Mill
No Setback to the Business
of the City.

We suppose it is human nature, but
be that as it may, some people would
burst if they could find no excuse for
talking bad things about town.
After the Newman fire some people
-pessimists-began harping that Hat
tiesburg was a ruined town; that its
business houses would be so badly
crippled that they would hardly be
taken for the same that existed before
the fire; that its growth would be
checked and other great calamities
would occur.
1t is true if thirty thousand dollars
is taken from the retail trade in town
per month it will produce feeling
that is not altogether Imaginable.
1t is the purpose of this article to
show that the city still lives and is
growing. There is in the residence
districts of the city an activity in
building that at no time in its history
has been surpassed. The demand for
dwellings is greater than can be sup
piled at present, nor is this all. The
building of business houses contin-
ues and there is strong demand for
places of business. The manufacturing
part of the question has not been neg
lected. With a fertilizer factory
and creosote plant assured and other
enterprises under consideration it is
clearly seen that the growth and pros
perity of the city will be maintained.

FROM ELEVATED TRAIN
A Child Falls and Is Caught in the
Arms OF Pedestrians and
Restored to Mother.

New York, May IA 3year-old
child fell from its mothers arms
through a window of an elevated
train on the lofty structure in Second
avenue. The mothers screams were
heard by two men who were crossing
the street below and who glanced up
in time to see the child falling and to
catch 1t in their arms. The child
was restored to its frantic mother
with no more serious result or its
thrilling experience than a slight
bruIse caused by grazing the edge of
the elevated structure.

chants going in with bags of gold and
bundles of greenbscks, and coming
out again with only account books in
their hands. knew that the bank
had some connection with the govern
ment, and. being greatly impressed
with its dignified appearance and the
actions of its officers, was seized with
q desire to work within its walls.
When applied for a position learned
that there was no Likelihood of a va
cancy occurring in the near future; so,
when | was offered place in local
stationery shop at salary of 800 a
year, | accepted with alacrity. The
wages were small, indeed, but in this
shop was privileged to become &C.
quainted with general literature, and
spent many hours with the great auth

err were not without profit. After a
time there was a rival bank establish

position of messenger and general
assistant" at the same old salary Of
800 a year. didn't hesitate, but
left the store to enter the bsnk, and so
began my career in the financial
world. My duties as general assist

ianitor. first of all, and attended to
the heating of the building. made
many trips every day to the cellar for
coal, and l used to think the officials
most extravagant when they insisted
ON fire when the days rsoompar-
atively warm. was obliged to keep
the front sidewalk clear of dirt in tine
summer and Of snow in the winter,
and had to sweep the floor Of the
banking room daily and dust the
desks and furniture frequently.
