of dollars. Let our people remember
these benefits and cease their too often
u just demands against the railroad.
If you ara really injured BY the care
lessness OF the roads and are, in fact,
injured, bring suits for sums ade-
quate to the damages sustained; but
don't sue for five, ten, or twenty
and twenty-five thousand dollars
when you are injured to the extent of
only a ew dollars. Don't play a
grab game only because you hope to
gain it. 1t is as morally wrong to
take what you are not entitled to
from railroad as from an individ-
ual. Charleston Tallahatchian.

roads that should be discouraged and
as far as practicable stopped. All
seemed inclined to look upon them as
lawful prize in their zeal and haste
to fly into co rts to recover damages
against them for real or imaginary
injuries. They lose sight of the i'm
mense benefits railroads have been and
are now to the country. The Illinois
Central Railroad has especially been
of the greatest benefit to Mississippi.
Through it's agency, gratuitously be-
slowed, thousands upon thousands OF
citizens have been induced to come
from other states and cast their for
tunes with us, The standard OF this
citizenship has been of high order.
They have brought thousands and
thousands of dollars, which have been
invested in lands and permanent
homes, have helped to open up and
bring into cultivation the waste
places, invested large sums in cotton
factories, oil mills, congresses, large
establishments, railroads,
stave, wagon, furniture, and handle
factories and various other industries
too numerous to name in this short
article, by means of which the re-
sources of the state have been deyel-
oped and millions of money added to
the wealth of the country. Aside
from this view cast your eyes to the
wonderful delta. By what agency
has this country been opened up and
its amazing fertility and exhaustless
resources brought to public view and
to settlement? All know that it is
the Illinois Central Railroad that has
done the work. But for the enter
prise in building its network of lines
through it, -tenths of that terri
tory would now be in cane and forest,
where now you see splendid planta-
lions, flourjshing towns, villages and
cities. and factories and industries
Astounding over its entire surface.
But, it is said: This was all done
for its own private profit and benefit. y
Grant it, Yet, still, all the benefits
enumerated are the fruits OF their
enterprise, which makes them, never
theless, public benefactor.
This institution has also contribut-
ed thousands of dollars in charities to
people, which we have not space to
euumerate. We will call one very re-
cent instance to your mind. But
few days ago the beautiful town OF
Yazoo City was swept away by fire.
1t is necessary to rebuild. This road
has most generously offered to trans
uort over its lines all necessary
building material at half rates, thus
saving to that stricken city thousands

SAVED FROM TERRIBLE DEATH,

The family of Mrs. M. l. Bobbitt of
Bargerton, Tenn, saw her dying and
were powerless to save her. The most
skillfull physicians and every remedy
used, failed, while consumption was
slowly but surely taking her life. In
this terrible hour DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption turned
despair into Joy. The first bottle
brought immediate relief and its con-
tined use comdlete!y cured her. It's
the most certain cure in the world

pATRoNlzE THE HOME MERCHANTS

Young man, did you ever stop
moment to consider that the shirt
suit. or underwear, you purchase
from the smiling salesman. who comes
to your town once or twice each year
with out contributing dollar to its
upbuilding, is no better either III
wear. material or workmanship than
the same goo ds bought at
your local store whose projectors con-
tribute greatly to the upbuilding OF
your city and the payment OF your
salary. Again. is it right when you
have money, to send it away Tor your
wearing apparel and only when
bursted trade at your home store and
expect them to carry you until able
to buy again for cash: you say no,
but we are told by merchants here IN
the city that many young men treat
them just this way. We herd
travelling salesman say last year he
took GO orders for quits out of Green
willie and many who read this article
no doubt heard the same expression
Stop a moment and consider in dollars
and cents, what one man took from
your city, at the least calculation
the so suits would amount to 5000
Now when you realize that there are
half dozen more men who make the
town YOU can see what it drains from
circulation. In discussing the matter
with young man in the presence OF a
merchant, he remarked that this year
he ordered suit from certain sales

was standing near the corner of Brllls

Walking up to the stranger lie inquir'

courts of this state for many years.
About two years ago Dix appeared

which he conducted for some time
The deposits in both institutions in.

strongest in the Northwest. A few
months after both banks became in
solvent and charges were preferred
against Dix. In order to avoid arreS
he fled to England, where he was sub

to the United States.
After a lengthy legal battle in the
courts of this state Dix was fOunC
guilty of the crime of larceny by EN-.

serve ten years in the penitentiary.
An appeal was taken to the state SUI
