MARRIED LAST NIGHT.
Cupid Gets in His Work Again and
JOINS Two Hearts.

Friends and relatives were sur
prised last night when it was learned
that Miss Bertha Myer and J. J.
Waits had married. While it was
thought that such would occur, its
sudden approach was not anticipated.
No one witnessed the ceremony except
a few friends. Not even the BRIDES
closest relatives were aware of the
surprise.
Miss Myer is the daughter of Mr..
J. A. Myer, one of Hattiesburg's most
highly respected citizens.
Mr.. Waits is a young man destined
some day to be one of Mississippi's
most influential men. He is a part
ner of the Fain Grocery Company and
manager of the Sumrall Mercantile
Company.
To the bride we extend our best
wishes, to the groom our heartiest
congratulations.
The ceremony was performed at the
Methodist parsonage at 8 O'Clock last
night, Rev. w. NJ. Sullivan officia-
ting. The happy couple left this
morning for sumrall, their future
home.

A PARK.
Much Talk of a Pleasure Resort for
Hattiesburg.

Lately the question of park for
the city has been much discussed. 1t
seems altogether reasonable and wise
to establish one. Hattiesburg is a
place of near 5000 people and needs
some location of retreat for spare mo-
ments in which TO recreate.
In the park, it is understood that it
is proposed to put race track, base
ball and football grounds. Of course
there will be some that will object to
this and attempt TO dissnade the idea
of the football field, but the people of
this country have advanced above
that petty stage Of narrowness and it
is believed will work for the main
tenance of this feature as we'll as
others. Hattiesburg should be as
able to enjoy the various sports as
we'll as any other place. Let every
body get together and work for this
feature. The old way Of so much
talk and so little actual execution
should be dropped. The city needs
the park and must have it.

BIG SHIPMENT.
100 Bales of Cotton to Go to Mobile
Over M, j. & K. G.

The Mobile, Jackson and Kansas
City will ship one hundred bales OF
cotton TO Mobile today. 1t is their
first large shipment TO make ana will
doubtless be one among many Others,
for Mobile merchants are becoming
interested in Hattiesburg and its con-
Meeting points.
Their plan is to bring all cotton
here for comprising, thereby giving
Hattiesburg toll and at the same
time aiding themselves materially.
Heretofore New Orleans and Meridian
merchants have been handling this
business exclusively. Mobile pro-
poses to compete with them and will
doubtless be able to show them a
time, she having the close connection
recently given by the Mobile, Jackson
and Kansas City railroad.

BRICK INDUSTRY.

T. P. Crymes is one of the most
progressive citizens of this section of
the state. Some time ago he estab-
lished a brickyard near the city
which he nursed like a mother would
her first born. From an ingsigniti-
cant plant he has built it up and
now it is one of the largest in the
state. He ordered some time age
machinery to the amount of SO, 00C
and the other day received the first
carload shipment. That is a big
thing idea of putting in ma
chinery to the amount Of $4,000 II
is an industry that the people Of this
section can feel proud of, more so for
the fact that Mr.. Crymes is the mar
to handle it. His brick is first-class
in every respect.

A wicked partner or so is very
necessary to a president, and es-
pecially to a president like Mr..
Rooseveslt. The maxim that the king
can do no wrong is preserved in con-
stitutional monarchies by the device
of making the ministry responsible
for all mistakes. A truly good presi-
dent can preserve his reputation for
goodness and wisdom only by having
a few wicked partners, and President
Roosevelt is not badly equipped in
this line. Philadelphia Record.

There was some excitement on
Buschmann street this morning. A
dog which had every indication of be-
ing mad-in fact was mad-went
around over the street swapping at
everything in sight and some things
not in sight. Finally P. Hanna,
a barber of the city, seeing the strange
action of the dog pulled out his short
shooting gun and put four bullet
holes through him. Then the dog
went dead and no inquest was held
over his remains.
