HATTIEsBURG AT 6 A. NJ.

There is nothing more inspiring
than to arise at the early morning
hour and see the animation that starts
with the first calls of the fac DRY and
foundry whistles.
at about ) 80 the first whistle will
blow and the refrain will be picked
up. seemingly, and carried on to some
other mill and factory in regular
order until every industry in the city
operated by steam has had its say.
This is called the rising whistle,
and then soon start the hurried foot
steps Of employees repairing to their
respective places at which they serve,
and tho great number makes up a
scene which would not fail to reas-
sure any che whose hopes of Hatties-
burg are in the least tagging.
And aside from this significant
view of the picture, there is nothing
grander than to see the early going
out at morn Of the father, son and
perhaps, daughter, with dinner
bucket Or lunch basket in hand to
win, with their honest labor, bread
to keep the spark of life of loved ones
ut home alive. There could be no
better evidence of PERSONS honesty
and integrity of purpose than is given
by the carrying of a dinner bucket.
1t is the hope Of on country and
there is no class of people whose in
terests will receive greater considera-
ton at the hands Of this paper than
The laboring class. who earn their
daily bread by the sweat Of the brow.

One of the brainiest, and without
doubt the greatest hustler, in the
newspaper business, Jas. j, Haynie,
better knwon as Cyclone Jim, has
purchased the Hattiesburg Progress.
and he will give his readers spicy
and interesting paper. Haynie was
the advertising manager of the old
Memphis Tenn. Avalanche, when
that paper was in its prime, and held
that Office until Mrs Jas Phelan,
widow of Congressman Phelan, sold
out to the Appeal. Haynie went to
Nashville from Memphis and held
several lucrative berths on the news
papers there, but the capital of Ten
nessee was too slow for him. He re-
turned to his old home in East Mis-
sissippi and at one time had a string
of eight papers, but he was too easy
with his cash and could not refuse to
extend a loan or help the poor The
title Cyclone Jim" was forced upon
him and it is we'll applied AS a
writer and advertising solicitor he is
veritable cyclone and sweeps every
thing before him. His capacity for
work has no limit. -Natchez Daily

pliment is from the pen OF Charlie

the Evening Scimitar Of Memphis,
was editor in chief of the Avalanche
during the time TIE writer serves.
and A. l.. Rowe, the present owner
of the Memphis herald, was business
manager. 1t is gratifying to be re-

in the same cause side by side and
whose tribute comes from impress
sions created then which time has
not caused to change. The name,

those who served it, for it revives
