tbs cLoplOus FOURTH.
The 4n was appropriately observed
by the coloeed people af.this section
a 1.-THE spacious aud coy home Of Tie
OEolona Industrial College, and the
occasion was one So enjoyable That It
viii live IN the memory Of ali who
we're parucipanta. President Battle,
assisted by the womon of his patrons
In the city, provided as delicious and
elaborate dinner and refreshmentS for
all who were in attendance as any one
could ask for, and IL may be truthful
" said that K was q day of Teasing.
The supply was sufficient to keep All
who were there eating until late ia the
nigh6. The Grafton was delivered by
President Bs tie, of the College, and
short speeches followed by white
g~antlemea, inclueipg the ministers
of the Pres bytarian aud Methodist
church Of The city. It was evident
that tine white peakers we're earnest.
in their remarks to say something
which would point out ways to better
the condition Of the colored race. The
short address on the "Institution,''
departed from the usual eulogistic
style and presented cold facts and
conditions, the speaker suggesting
among other things that every mem
ber Of the race, young or old in this
county, could well afford to set apart
ten per cent Of his earnings for the
next ten years and hand it over to the
Okolona Industrial College to be used
in the work Of qualifying the youth of
the ace for the battle of life before
them. The point was also made that
whatever may the destiny Of the col
ored race, or any other race for that
matter, as a mass, it was within the
province Of individuals In all races to
make for themselves a future not only
enjoyable but distinguished and useful.
This College was cited as a most
beniacent and efficient means for the
development Of the individual, and
the ore individuals benefited, the
higher would naturally be raised the
mass. The colored people were urged
to make ever possible sacrifice to
make this institution as broard in It's
usefulness as the race it is established
for, and the hope Of that race for q
betterment Of conditions generally.

And so win these fslr temples pass
away. Built two thousand wears ago
by the Greeks, sf err Egyptian models,
but with some Of the lighter featufes
of their own more lovely art, these
noble ediices have evoked the en-
thusiastic admiration of succeeding
ages, and the fairy kiosk Of Augustus

tapering columns, lifting their slender
beauty between the river and the sky
lis perhaps The most widely reDown-
ed picture on the Nile. Egypt has
lost the lovely island, but she has
gained a Rich province in its stead;
for the pent-up waters have submorg-
ed the fair temples of the Greeks, and
flow through long canals Gro the
desert, to claim more than a million
acres from les splendid wastes.-From

which was manifest last winter when
boats could be run through the
streets.
Quite an enjoyable affair was the
dainty reception given on last We'd
nesday afternoon by the Misses Haley
10 their little friend, Miss Lslis Glass
cock, of Amory. The feature Of the
afternoon was the drawing of animals
and the prize was won by Miss House

charming Miss GlRsscook won the

favorable weather. AS loon as track
laying commences, the work can be
pushed so much more rapidly because
of the transportation of heavy timbers
and other materials required, though
much of this material has already
been hauled out by wagon and placed

POOR POLICY.

pens to be a native of the north and
outstrips them in an argument, begin
to abuse and cast slurs at him, for the
simple reason that he is a northern man.
They refer to him as a little 9x4 editor
from the North who has no right to x
press his opinion on certain matters,
etc. Such tactics show a weakness and
narrow mindedness on the part Of the
Scutherner who resorts to such spithets
and methods of getting even.
