In the meantime the young arIsto-
crat who had taken her home in his
buggy called to ask if she had recovered
from the accident, and had fingered
for half an hour, chatting with her and
watching the wonderful play of color
in her cheeks. Upon leaving he had
asked her if she would not like another
spin behind the handsome team which
had so nearly caused her death,
"Oh, that would be lovely" she ex-
claimed
So it happened few evenings later
she enjoyed long ride in the stylish
turnout and her pretty little head was
nearly turned with the JOY of it all.
Only once or twice she observed him
looking at her in a way that brought
the blood to her cheeks and gave her a
touch of uneasiness.
Thomas Knapp was sober over the
ride-so much so that she became a
tritie angry and they had quite tiff
about it.
There is never any good comes from
the attentions of such as he to girls in
our class" he said doggedly.
Hes a gentleman" she replied de-
family.
eyes, that's just it," he rejoined,
land he wouldn't take you to ride in
the daytime along the drives that his
kind frequent"
This made her furious and she dis
missed her blunt admirer with scant
courtesy. But she thought of what he
said a great deal and it rested like a
great weight in her heart and con-
science. So when he called again, she
was all smiles to make up for her
frowns and Tom was transported to
the seventh heaven. And when some
days later Chester Eddy sent a servant
with note saying he would call for
her for another ride on the following
evening she sent back word that she
could not go.
In the meantime Tom Knapp had
been pressing his suit assiduously and
she grew to like him better every day.
He was a good mechanic and made am
pie wages. She began o think now and
then of little white cottage in the
suburbs with green blinds and lace cur

Some days after her rebuff Mr.. Eddy
appeared and playfully demanded an
explanation.
Are you not shut up enough in that
beastly store to enjoy bit of airing oc-
casionaly?" he asked.
81 enjoyed my ride with you more
than l can tell YOU" she replied grave
ly, "but l don't think ought to go with
you nor permit yon to come here"
"Why not?" he demanded with an
amused smile. 81 am not generally re-
garded as dangerous or Objectionable

Put into a clear wooden tub one
bushel of lime, cover it with couple
of buckets of boiling water, stirring
all the time. When the lime has been
slaked, dissolve in. the water four
pounds of sulphate of zinc and two
pounds of coarse salt. These are to
prevent the wash cracking off. If re-
quired, the above may be made cream

ochre. From two and half to three
buckets of wash will be required for

Lives of Suffering and
Sorrow AYerted
And Happiness and Prosperity
Assured by
CutiCura Soap, OintmenfandPiIIs
When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, dishguring hui
mours of the skin, scalp and blood,
becomes an object of the most tender
solicitude, not only because of It's suffer-
ing, but because of the dreadful fear
that the designation Is to be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence, it becomes the duty Of
mothers of such afflicted children to ac-
quaint themselves w;;6 the best, the
purest and most effective treatment
available, viz, The Cuticnra Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap, to
cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and
scales, gentle applications of Cuticura
Ointment, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and mild doses of Cuticura Resolvent, to
cool the Blood in the severer cases, are
all that can be desired for the speedy
relief and permanent cure of skin tor
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort of worn-out parents.
Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cut,eura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and beautifying the
skin, scalp, hair and hands, for annoy
ing irritationS and weaknesses, and
for many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves.

His gray eyes looked into the black
ones questioningly-then the line Of
vision changed to the window through
which they glanced thoughtfully. He
changed the subject abruptly and soon
after departed and she saw him no more
for many days.
In the meantime she evaded
Toms opportunities to give him
an answer to the all-important
question he had propounded. The
step into the other world had given
her a glimpse of life which had upset
roundings and associations. She could
not bear to tie herself forever to the
life she had always known. Still she
liked Tom immensely and knew he
would ever be her willing slave.
In the midst of these cogitations
Chester Eddy came to her one evening.
Depositing his hat and gloves on the
table he came straight across the room
and took both her hands in his.
Little girl" he said gently, and
there was new light in his eyes, 81

drawing back,

of my own heart and there is none

With a cry like freed bird she
snuggled into hS strong arms.
AS for Thomas Knapp-but that is

My FRIEND SToKE:-Last week
issue of your paper, The DEMOCRAT,
announced the death of Jacob Bland.
Like shock of grain fully ripe he
was gathered in after the three score
and ten limit had been past. My
acquaintance with him extended over
a period of nearly 80 years. To
know him was to love him. "He
was the freeman whom the truth
makes free" His courage was
invincible, for he always dared to do
right. The world has too few such
men. Sincere regards to all.

A farmer called Monday to ask US
to comment upon the danger of per
sons setting fire to the stubble or dry
grass while out shooting. Sunday
fire was started that way near the
Mo. P. R. r. north of town a couple
of miles, and only prompt action
prevented 1t spreading to wheat stacks.
We all remember the disastrous fires
we have had in this county in years
past, at about this season, and the
great loss of wheat in stack and in
the field. Be careful men. Every
thing is as dry as finder. Don't take
any chances. Put off your hunting
until later in the season.

man of this city, whose wife is away
from home, wrote her letter week
or SO ago. while he was on the road.
Forgetting she was away, he address

put out by not receiving an answer and
vowed all sorts of things. When he
came home, he found his letter, and
then he had to hire some one else to
readdress the same for him so as to
fool his wife. Doubtless there will
be much explaining to do when next
they meet.

A man who will aspire to a posi-
ton of honor and trust, without
possessing even that modicum of
common, horse sense which most
citizens enjoy in this enlightened day,
will soon realize his insignificance
when once put to the test. And,
strangely, he will attribute his down
fall to the acts of others rather than
to his own incompetency.

tablished four or five years ago by

scale, furnishing only few incandes-
cent lights to residences. After run
ming year or so the plant was pur-
chased by the Hemphills who moved
it from near where the Watkins
machine shops are now located to near
the Rich lumber company's planning
mill plant on Main street. Most of
the old machinery was discarded for
new and up-to-date machinery, and
hundreds of lights were added, in
cluidng arc lights for the city. These
lights are said to be by those who
visit the city nearer perfect than any
lights in the state, which is attrib-
uted to the perfect machinery in use.
Charlie Bynum, who has been with
the plant from its incipiency to the
persent, is the electrician, and it is
stated that he is a fine one. A. f.

Hattiesburg and for many years with
the Western Union telegraph company,
is the lineman, and he is considered
one of the best in the state, having
worked at the business practically all
his life.

LIGHT AND POWER PLANT
Changes Hands, Having Been Pur-
chased by a Local Company
Its Future Prospects Bright.

The electric light and power plant
has been sold by that cumpany to an
other company composed of HI. S.
Stevens, DR.. J. d. Donald, S. @.
Donald, Newt. Blount and A. X. Nc
Innis. The price was in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, but just the
amount the Progress is not informed.
This is one of the best pieces of
property in the city and the Progress
congratulates the gentlemen on the
purchase. 1t is presumed that in the
near future the company will put in
a street car line, and besides running
the line all over the city, will extend
it out to Rawls' Springs, six miles
west of the city. The company has
already the contract for lighting the
city for a number of years, besides
furnishing lights for hundreds of
residences and business houses.
The plant is one of the best IN the
state, selected and established by
practical electrician, with the oebject
in view of making it permanent
institution. 1t has the finest dynamos,
the most powerful boilers and engines,
and is located in substantial brick
building, and in all it is fine piece
of property.
The plant was established by the
Hemphills who are among the most
progressive citizens of Hattiesburg,
and the Progress learns that one of
their reasons for giving it up was the
fact that they own so much land
property throughout this section of
the state that they could not attend to
both without some loss to themselves
and they thought it best to dispose of
the electric plant SO they could give
all their attention to their land
interests.
The electric light and power plant
is the pride of this city. It was es |
