, KICKING ON GRADES.
Inspection of Grain Along the Watert0wn
Division Unsatisfactory.

| The Fairfax Standard says that
during the past few months the
grain buyers and farmers residing
along the line of this branch of the
/ Nj. & ST. L railroad have not been
satisfied with the grading that the
inspectors were giving their wheat,
and it has been alleged upon good
grounds. that the inspection upon
the Milwaukee road to the, north
was great deal more liberal than
it was in this section Of the coun-
try. Wheat that wouldn t grade
more than three here could be
hauled to the towns on the other
roads and pass muster at two. The
local grainbuyers. however, are
powerless to do anything on the
premises.
Senator Rieke has been laboring
hard to have the matter satisfactor-
lily adjusted, but SO far the matter
is in an unsettled condition. The
following letter which he received
from the grain and warehouse COM
mission anent this question speaks
for itself:
Dear Sir: Referring again to the
complaint of your constituents along

What a Baptist Minister SAYS.

BROWNS VILE, TENN,
April y, 1903.
Mr.. WALTER n. HURT,
Hattiesburg, Miss.
DEAR IR:-You ask me for
my candid opinion of Major Jas.
K. Vardaman as a man, gentle
man, Christian, a scholar and a
suitable person for the exalted
position of governor of the com
monwealth of the State of Mis-
sissippi. l have no hesitancy in
com plying with your request.
During my pastorate at Green
wood | was intimately associated
with Major Vardaman and |
found him to be a gentleman of
the highest type. Some who
read his scathing denunciation of
political hypocricy and deprayi-
ty might think him harsh. IN
couth and vulgar, but this is not
true of him. He is elegant and
refined. His terrible invectives
of crookedness grow out of his
intense hatred of it. 1 truly be-
lieve that if there is an incorrup-
tible man in Mississippi that
man is J. K. Vardaman.
As a Christian, he may not
measure up to the full standard.

ed with him in his office AID

Christ more than he. He was

Quietly Married.

kilograms we're received in
this city last Monday from Mo
bile announcing the marriage of
Miss Ellen Tucker TO Mr.. II. n.
Kennedy, which occurred there
on Monday morning. The mar
riage was quite a surprise to
their wide circle of friends in
this city. While it was known
that there was a strong attach
ment between the two it was not
expected that it would eliminate
in marriage so soon. Miss Tuck
er was on a visit to Point Clear
with her mother, Mrs. Nellie
Tucker, and Mr.. Kennedy met
her there and the marriage re
suited. Many friends here
watt congratulations for a long
and happy married life.
Miss Tucker is the only daugh-
ter OF Mrs. Nellie tucker OF this
city and has been a social favor
tie in this city ever since her de
but few years ago. Accom-
plished and attractive she has
always been the center of a wide
circle of admiring friends, Mr..
Kennedy is the confidential man
of the Colum bus Cotton Elk
change and has been a resident
of this city for a number of
months past. He comes from a
Georgia family and is
an elegant gentleman, a good
business man and numbers his
friends in this city by the score.
They will receive a hearty
welcome upon their return to
Columbus which place will be
their future home.

The serious illness of Mrs.
Hattie J. Lindamood noted in
this paper from time to time, re
suited fatally last Monday morn
ing at eight o'clock at her home
on the Highlands. A victim Of
typt old fever. following confine-
ment, her illness was regarded
as grave and her condition seri-
Gus from the first. Although
the recipient of the best medical
attention, the most careful nurs-
ing and the kindest and gentle
est Of attentions from those
around her, her death ensued at
the time stated, resulting from
hemOrrage peculiar to her

Mrs. Hattie J: LindamoOd was
the wife Of Mr.. w. S. Lindamood,
of the Colum bus Brick Co, one

Hattie Johnson, of Kosciusl1o,
and she leaves six children to
miss a mothers gentle care and
affection. Her home was her
idol and it was here that the
wealth of her womanly graces
and domestic virtues were be-
slowed and it is here that her
death will be felt most, She
was a gentle, Iovable, Christian
character, a faithful and devOut
member of the Presbyterian
church and her death causes
sorrow and bereavement to a
wide circle of friends whose sym
pathy attend her husband and
children in their Overshadowing
sorrow and grief.
The funeral was held yesterday
morning from the home on the
Highlands. Countless floral Of
ferings and the attendance of
friends attested the sympathy of
this community with Mr.. Linda
mood and his family in their sOr-
row. The exercises were con-
Quoted by Revs. Dunbar H.
Ogden and A. J. Miller. Mr..
Ogden's talk was especially APP

The Causes of Laughter.

Prof James Sully, who has written
a 43O-paee book entitled "An Essay On
Laughter" says that the peculiar mus
cular actions which are grouped under
the nams Of laughter are provoked by
the incon sruous, the uneceustomed
and the unexpected juxtaeosition OF
things. Prof suIly cites the story Of
man arrested by soldiers who is al
lowed to join them at cards. He
cheats and is kicked out, his play
mates quite forgetting that he is their
prisoner. With this may be coupled
the story of two burglars in tie dock.
One Of thsm kept on poking the other
in the ribs as the evideRce against
them proceeded, until he was mads
to desist by the protest: who are you
knocking about? I've as much right
to be here ~ you"

Give the Boys a Chance
to Play the Hest

ValcIi!ns parties will be popular as
long as hearts and heels respond to
music, and in planning the social even
ing for her family of half-grown chill
dren, it is wise mother who counts
upon the assistance Of her boys.
The capabilities Of boys in this line
are seldom appreciated. A girl Is in
structed in the proper way Of receiv
ing guests and looking after their en-
tertainment, while the average boy in
the average family is duly informed
as to clean collars, new ties and 9th
er toilet accessories, and then left
to his own devices.
II the mother would only try the
lad she would find him taking to the
duties OF host like young duck TO
water. A boy likes to feel important,
and being the host in reality as well
as on the face OF the invitations, fills
him with 4 sense of Importance to
which he instantly rises. As cure
for bashfulneGs, the responsibility Of
looking after the comfort and pleasure
of others works like a charm. A girl,
especially after she passes certain
age, is apt to steal off in corner with
her best friends and leave less favored
guests to their own devices boy
is more broad-minded than his sister,
and, unhampered by furbeows and
those violent intimacies of girlhood,
divides his attentions more evenly.
One Of the first lessons taught the
cadets at both West Point and Annapo-
lis is their duty 10 their guests. When
their sisters and mothers. to say moth
ing Of pretty girl friends, rally for
any Of the social aFents FER which
these two national raining schools arc
famous, the cadets are obliged. by Ger
tain unwritton rules, to play the host
right royalty every moment during
which they are free from duty. They
must see to it that their sisters dance
cards, or those of the aforementioned
Tretty girls, are filed before the nigh
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1903-02-16

CT the dance. They must also average
it so that no dull or idle moments will
come to the guests while in Annapolis
or West Point. This is one reason
why men of the army and the navy
are so popular in all drawing rooms.
One OF the most charming social
events given this winter in a large
Eastern city was Frat" tea, man.
aged entirely by young men of the
fraternity. The fraternity colors and
designs were used in the decorations,
and the affair moved with a smooth
ness that would put many hostess to
shame.
The boys appointed a committee OF
FIVE, who, in turn, invited five girls
to assist the five patronesses in re-
ceiving. The young men trusted to no
well-organized receiving party, but
were constantly on guard, and, captur-
ing each friend in turn, led her to
the semi-circle Of handsome matrons
and bright-faced girls. A bevy OF the
Frat" boys were also on duty through
the parlOrs, bent on conducting guests
into the dining room. where still an
other patroness presided over table
glowing with candles and roses-red,
Of course, this being the favorite col
or with men of all ages. Walters were
on hand to serve coffee, frappes, sand
Hiches. sherry ice and cakes.
The energetic committee had sent
flowers to the patronesses and their
assistants, all Of whom wore light
gowns, most of the girls selecting or
candies, and there was a bewitching
array Of aigrettes, half Nreaths and
f'essy hair It IS quite the proper ca
Ter just now Tor the young girl to have
her hair dressed that il CLEANS like
copper.
So admirably had the boys made
t4eir preparations. and so thoroughly
en- rapport were they with the gentle
art Of entertaining, that the said pat
ronessess caught the spirit Of the oc-
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1903-02-16

casion and declared that they had new
er seen anything better done.
Incidentally, it might be mentioned
that the young men cosulted sta
toner OF authority in the matter OF
cards, and sent out bits Of pasteboard
for invitations no larger than a lady's
visiting card. The name Of the ira
ternity was engraved across the cen
ter, and in the right-hand corner was
the address. In the left-hand corner
was written, not engraved, the date
and the hour Of the tea.
