THE TYMPANUM DESIGN.
over the main enhance on the south
side is the pediment designed to
typify all the arts, resources and in
dustries of the state. The central
figure, stately, majestic, seated upon
throne, her feet upon bale of cot
ton, and holding in her right hand
the sword Of empire and in her left
a palm birch, is personiflcation of
the great commonwealth of Missis-
sippi. At her feet, close to the bale
OF cotton, is figure representing the
manufacturing industries of the
state, displaying a roll of the finished
fabric. The next figure, erect and
intent, is science, near whom, in low
relief, is q child, suggesting the
future student of science. The sue
ceedlng figure is the sturdy black
smith with the wheel of the me-
chanic at his back. Seated on a low
Greek settee, a sketch block in her
hand, is Art, while the extended fig
ure at the end portrays fertility. AT
the left of the central figure stands
Productiveness, the horn of plenty
inverted as if to pour her abundance
upon the state. This figure, taken
in conjunction with the one at the
extreme right, forms an embodiment
of the agriculture of the state. The
erect figure just beyond is History,
behind whom, in low relief, is the
Indian, vanishing from the scene of
action, and yet forever linked with
the history of Mississippi Nextln
order stands the laborer, with his
basket of newly picked cotton.
Bending over her ever-revolving
wheel is Poetry, her back turned
upon the figures Of two huntsmen.

RECEPTION TO
DR. SEYMOUR
Pastor Remembered By Sunday
School at GuidebOard.
PRESENTED LOVING CUP
Little Red SchooIhouse Was the Scene of a
Most Pleasant Affair Last Friday
Evening.

The farewell reception given by the
Guideboard people to the Rev DR.
Seymour on Friday evening was
unique affair The modest little red
school house had never seen the like
before, and dating from this event
may well be called the "Chapel. "
Mr. Van Santvoord preached the
sermon OF the occasion all unwitting-
ly to himself The people joined
heart and voice in song, and the be-
loved pastor led them in heartfelt
prayer.
A loving cup had been presented to
him and it was in making the presen-
tation speech that Mr. Van Santvoord
gave the strong words that went
straight to all hearts, taking for his
text the far reaching work of one man
loving his fellow men and intent on
doing them good. And he charged it
home to the people that all who mourn
his loss will show it by leading lives
worthy OF MS teachlng.
The room was transformed into
charming reception hall by skillful
arrangement of rugs and screens with
palms, maiden hair fern and masses
of bloom in pink and white.
Choice refreshments were served and
songs were given by Miss Goldsmith
and Miss Kelley. Miss Kelly's rem
dering of the "Land o. the Leal " was
specially pleasing on this occasion
where all that was said and done had
in it the ring Of sincerity and real af-
fection. The loving interest Of all
these people will follow DR. Seymour

Americas Most Popular Theatrical Attraction

The old saying, "When you have
seen one show you have seen them
all, may apply to some shows, but
not to McPhee's big spectacular Uncle
Toms Cabin company which will be
seen in Bennington, Monday, Sept. 7.
This is the largest, grandest and best
Uncle Toms Cabin company that has
ever visited the east.
His vast tented amusement institu-
tion differs in the most essential par
ticulars from the shows one has been
accustomed to, the entire performance
being the best ever seen under canvas.
The company carries 80 people, ponies,
donkey, bloodhounds, genuine south
ern jubilee singers. Travelling in their
own special cars, the show is com
pletely equipped, owned and managed
by genial, courteous gentleman and
absolutely free from all fakirs Of rough
element.
McPhee's Uncle Toms Cabin is well
coined with outstretched arms by the
people in all parts Of the country.
This is the only company that has ever
played in the southern cities and the
old country. In fact it is the peoples
show. II it looks like rain, don't al

far to establish the fact that the center
of the town is not now where it was
when the first survey was made and
that the change of lands on the east
side to the west brings the center near
ly where the First church stands. An
other fact which tends to prove this
position Is, that the east line of Pow
nal is about three fourths of a mile
further east than the present bounds
OF Bennington, although when char
tered it was bounded on the north by
this town and was to be sixmiles square.
Another point is, that ia reaching
Woodford line three fourths of mile
has always been measured by the above
surveyor, from the we'll established
Bell corner of right No. 80, and in his
surveys he has recognized that Pow
nal runs further east than this town
Among other fects which substanti-
ate position is one from a deed in l77S
OF farm in North Bennington, des-
cribed as in right No. 81, and which if
the tier of rights on the east had not
been exchanged for as much on the
west line, the farm would be much
nearer the present New York line.
This has been written that history
may be handed down to later genera
tions, free from mistakes or misunder-
standings. II.

HIGH PRICE
OF COTTON
lnterferes Seriously With Local
Knitting Mills.
NO PROFIT IN 1T NOW
Margin Is So Small In the Making Of Cotton
Goods That the Present Condi.
ton Is Bad For Business.

The soaring price of raw cotton is
seriously interfering with the knitting
mills in town and there is no prospect
of immediate relief even though the
coming in of the new crop is lowering
the price slowly.
All cotton manufacturing is done on
such a close margin that any substan-
tial raise in price of raw material
knocks off what little profit there is in
the business and with prices where
they have been of late, manufacturers
of cotton goods all over the country
have suffered.
Some OF the local mill-owners are
temporarily curtailing their business
and taking advantage of the occasion
to make repairs and get in readiness
for better conditions.
The outlook is not very encouraging
for knit goods producers and one Of
them stated few days since that until
the price OF cotton is fixed, It would
be better for them 10 close than run

cradle. financial loss to the firm Of
which he is a member as they have

of goods to a Chicago house at a
