FAMOUS OLD JACKSON SQUARE.
New Orleans Landmark May Be Re-
 produced at the Fair.

st. Louis, November 7.-Jackson Square in New Orleans, the scene of many hs- torc events, may be reproduced on the Worlds Fair grounds at St Louis.
 Dr. w. c. Stubbs, chairman of the Louisiana Worlds commission, has con suited with President Francis of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and has asked for additional space for the pur- pose.
 President Francis and Director of Works Taylor have both spoken in favor of the plan" said Dr. Stubbs, and say there is scarcely any doubt about our getting the space we desire. Jackson Square is one of the most historic spots in America, and its reproduction on the grounds will add to the beauty of the exposition and to the attractiveness of our state building, which is a reproduce ton of the old Cabido. the building in which 100 years ago the formal transfer of the Louisiana territory from France to the United States took place.
 'The Cabildo in New Orleans fronts on Jackson Square, and if our plans do not fail the replica will stand in the same relative positions at the Worlds Fair - the square being west of the Cabildo" :"
 Tn the early history of New Orleans, the square was called the Place d Armes and it was parade ground for the mil-

Commander States That All Is Quiet
 at Panama.

Washington, November 12.-Late this afternoon the navy department received the following cable dispatch from Rear Admiral Glass commanding the naval forces on the isthmus:
 Panama. Everything is quiet at Pana- ma. No sign of any dissatisfaction. It is reported that there are few Colombian troops at Buena Ventura. The Colombian gunboat Bogota sailed from Buena Ven tura with troops aboard, but put back to port again British steamers Manavi and Quito were unmolested."
 The British steamers referred to are understood to be the vessels which for a short time were detained by the Colom- bian government at Buena Ventura, with view of their use as transports for car rying troops to the isthmus, but which were subsequently released

Indiana Representative Pays Visit to

Washington, November 12.-Representa- tive Crumpacker of Indiana was an early caller on the President today. He has re- introduced his bill providing for a reduc- ton in the congressional representation of those states which have discrminated po- litically against the negro. He has not decided whether he will press the measure for consideration this winter or not, but he introduced it merely that he might have 1t on the calendar, and be prepared to urge it If he deemed 1t desirable to do so.
 It is unders<ood to be quite likely. how ever that no action will be taken on the bill at least prior to the presidential cam paign.

A large equestrian statue in bronze of "Old Hickory" was placed in the center and beautiful gardens laid out around it. It is not our intention to remove the Jack son statue that now stands in the square. That is too large. There are several smaller bronze statues of the great old warrior in the Crescent City, and we will bring one of them and place it in the cen- ter. Jackson Square in New Orleans Is 400 feet square.

The Pope and the Hesitatlns Monks.

From London Truth
 The following story of the pope is told in the Italian newspapers: deputa- ton of the monks of some order had obtained an interview with him. ac- cording to the etiquette of the Vitican, only cardinals are allowed to sit in the popes presence. and an invitation from him to do so Is deemed equivalent to the promise of a cardinalate. Pope Plus K is a plain man, utterly indifferent to the etiquette of the papal court He therefore begged the monks to take seats, They hardly knew whether they could venture to do so and while they stood hestating he said to them, You do not I suppose expect me to draw your chairs forward for you?'

Again this city is called upon
to Congratulate itself upon its

formed by our good citizen, VIM.

once the erection of a two-story
building to be used as a candy
factory and bakery by his sons,
Fe1d and Adolph. The building
will be located on Mr.. Abshagen's
residence property and will face
south. 1t will be completed by
Sept. 12, when business will open
up.
1t is expected to run whole
sale candy business. Adolph and
Ferd, who are native Brookha-
ven boys and who are highly es-
teemed for their industrious hab-
its and energy, have received the
best of training in their line of
work and are fully equipped to do
a nice business. A bakery will be
run in connection with. the candy
factory and our people will be
served with the best in the best
manner possible in this depart

Who does not appreciate big
apples, big strawberries, big,
broad-minded men, big, masterful
institutions that can do things?
The big apple OF strawberry has
come to it's fullness and goodness
because conditions were right for
its growth. The big, broad mind
ed man has lived in a wholesome
atmosphere. The great store has
thrived because it sank its foun-
dations to the sources of vigorous
life, and has builded upon policies
logical and secure.
The fruit tells the nature of the
tree, and the care and skill of
those who guided its growth.
The hundreds who come daily
to this old store at Brookhaven,
Miss, bear witness to the popu-
larity of McGrath's merchandise
ing.
The scores Of trade propositions
that come to us from manufactur-
ers and jobbers show where the
McGrath Stores stand with the
wholesale trade.
This position by its very big
ness brings unmeasured benefits
to our public by enabling us to
offer such good values at such
reasonable figures.
Watch our ads and keep up
with the store news.
We are preparing to put in
some splendid improvements in
our store building this summer,
and will offer great bargains all
during the months of July and
August. 1t will pay to read what

1t was fine day at Auburn ON the

of Hazlehurst, delivered fine lee
ture on Free Masonry" as it
has ever been our privilege to
hear. Bro. J. has passed his
three score and ten, but his step is
yet steady and his voice clear.
The people were not afflicted
with any political speaking. How
ha1d it is on a poor fellow when
he is loaded and don't get to 60

burn people may vote for, they
are first class. :. Our neighbor,
Fount Kyzar, is planting corn on
the same land from which he has
harvested fine crop of oats.
1t was our privilege to worship
with Pastor Lowe and his people
at Prospect last Sabbath. The
congregation was greatly disturb
ed by one intoxicated young man,
who fired his pistol near the
church and in the afternoon came
on the church ground fiourishing
the deadly weapon. Perhaps the
young man is more to be pitied
than blamed. ;. ;, The grand pic
mic here next Saturday will be
more of a social than political
affair and everyone is hoping for
a good time. However, candi-
dates will be accorded the privi-
lege of speaking if they so desire.
There will be.a grand political
rally here at some timess between
