It is something out of the ordinary,
the following from an exchange Tor ii
is generally the rule with those who
belong to the millionaire set to de-
vote about all their time to studying
the fads and praeticing the ways of
society: Miss Marion A. Fish,
daughter of Stuyvesant Fish, the New
York millionaire, ia an accomplished
housekeeper and cares nothing for the
butterfly existence led by society
women. Her friends are bright young
women who go in for athletics and
look on stilted society as a deadly
bore. An excellent housewoman is
Miss Marion, and her tennis is also up
to the mark. So far no mans name
has been linked with hers. Her
brother, Sidney, also dislikes society
and pridss himself on not having at
tended ball or formal dinner for
years.

Reports most fattering come from
the delta country concerning the con-

Vicksburg Post tells of the way mat

Reports from the delta country
are to the effect that every farmer in
that section, both white and black,
has already paid his store account
AID that he has money to his credit
in the bank. The Same is perhaps
true of the farmers of the hill sec.
tion, but il it is not it 10 to the cred
it of the hill farmers that they are
in a prosperous condition. They have
paid their accounts and cancelled a
great many mortgages but may not
have much money in the bank.

Bretheart county, has, at the solieita-

A citizen of Chattanooga grows en-
thusiastic in speaking Of the cotton
crop that will be marketed this year
by the southern states. An exchange
referring to it says: "The south has
come into her own this year, and no
section of the country is more pros
porous. A citizen of Chattanooga es-
Inmates that the cotton crop of the
south will bring $3.50, 900, 900, $780,
600, 600 for it's timber, and 800, 600, 600
for it's oil mill products. This esti-
mate takes no account of the enor-
nous iron and coal industries, it's
splendid rice and sugar crop, to say
nothing of the abundant crops of grain
and hay, and it's live stock industry,
which is becoming a source OF great
revenue. Truly the eornucopia of
plenty has been swelled with the
prosperity of this great section of
which is daily becoming more man
ifest. -

Secretary of Commerce and Labor

migration One of ADMINISTRATORS
Most Important Problems.

Washington, Dec. 10.--In the first
annual report Of the new department
Of commerce and labor, made public
to-day, Secretary Cortelyou devotes
considerable space to the workings or
the bureau of corporations under the
new law, and declares that the pub
lefty provided for can work no injury
TO fair-dealing corporations.
THE creation of the bureau was
viewed by some with alarm, or at least
with suspicion" he says. 1T was
feared that the powers granted might
be hastily or inadequately used to the
injury Of legitimate enterprise. NO
such purpose actuated the trainers OF
The law; no such purpose will control
its administration.
