DOESN'T REALIZE THE SITUATION.

Mr.. M. D. McGrath's Few
Words Additional' in last weeks
Lincoln County Times remind us
of one of John Aliens anecdotes.
An Irishman went fishing and
caught large logger-head turtle.
After he had dragged him out on
shore and his turtleship had scram-
bled around at lively rate over
a good deal of real estate, the ex-
cited son Of Erin got him turned
over on his back and chopped off
his head. But the turtle, with
his head lying in one place and
his body in another, continued to
open and close his eyes and stretch
his legs and wiggle his tail, true
to the turtle nature.
Faith and begorrah!" ex-
claimed Pat, as he looked on with
interested surprise, "the ugly
haste is dead and doesn't know
it,"
So far as the original issue in
the late public school controversy
is concerned, Mr.. McGrath has
been dead several weeks, but
doesn't seem to know it.

LINCOLNITES WERE DOUBLY PROUD.

Lincoln county people who at
tended the corner stone laying at
jackson last Wednesday could
view with peculiar and special
pride the stately and magnificent
million dollar State capitol
which, as some one has aptly said,
is beautiful poem in stone and
marble; because men who were
once Lincolnites have had such a
large share in its construction.
Gov. LONGING, chairman of the
Capitol Commission, is native
of Lawrence county, from which
the greater part of Lincoln county
was originally carved, and his
first service to the State was when
he represented Lincoln in the
State Senate. Hon. r. H. Thomp-
son, who was appointed by the
Governor to be member of the
Capitol Commission and proved
himself to be one of its most
efficient and able members, like
wise first won public distinc-
ton while serving Lincoln coun-
ty as State Senator, and until the
recent past, was one of Brookhav
ems most useful and honored law
yers and citizens. Thirdly, Lew
is 7. Fitzhugh, Jr,. secretary of
the commission by appointment
of Gov. Longino, as a young
man, was for several years a resi-
dent of Brookhaven and associated
with the management of Whit
worth College.
Gov. Longino, Mr.. Thompson,
and Mr.. Fitzhugh, all in their
several official capacities have
contributed their full quota to
the successful carrying out of the
great enterprise entrusted to the
Commission, and to their honor
and the honor of the State as we'll,
be it said, there has not been the
slightest suspicion of jobbery any
where in the management or an
intimation from any quarter that
the State has not received the full
value of the vast sum of money
represented in the majestic and
beautiful new Capitol, on which
no true Mississippian can look
without a conscious sense of sat
isfaction and pride in his State.

STATIONS :.in his honor amounted to
nothing less than ovations. He
found the people ready to receive
him with open arms, anxious to
hear him, and quick to indorse
not only his administration as
Governor, but his position on
national affairs as we'll, and admir-
alton was manifested everywhere
for his clear and elevating
thought, his manly dignity and
well-poised bearing, and above
all, for the high plane on which
he has placed his canvass.-Water

Ferris Wheel Sold for $500.

CHICAGO, June 3.-The Ferris wheel,
the wonder and admiration of the Wis
itors to the Worlds Fair, and which
cost more than half million dollars,
has been put up at auction as old junk
and sold for $500, which includes the
engines and other appliances. Out of
the sum realized there are claims of
about 100000 to be satisfied. The Fer
ris wheel was the conception of G. w.
G. Ferris, young mechanical engineer
of Pittsburg, Pa. Coming here just
before the Worlds Fair, he one day
dined with Judge Vincent and they fell
to discussing novel features for the
big exposition. Ferris drew rough
sketch of big bicycle wheel and at
tached to it carriages. Both men grew
enthusiastic over the possibilities and
funds we're speedily raised for carry
ing out the plan. 1t proved to be the
biggest money maker on the grounds
and the original investor cleared 200
per cent. and Ferris, aside from his
salary, never drew cent and died
few years ago, poor man.
Since then other men have made and
lost fortunes with the wheel, and now
it passes into scrap iron.
