larger camps.
The Progress Union has am
other big factory up their

Commencement Exercises.

An occasion that is looked for
ward to with mingled feelings of
pleasure and regret is the Com
mencement exercises of the In
dustrial Institute and College.
The program is always planned
with care and taste and the re-
suit is more than satisfactory to
the large crowds that gather to
witness the closing Of this insti-
tuition, but the departure of so
many that cause to make the life
Of Columbus bright, and the
thought Of the solitude that
reigns supreme around the Col
Iege campus throughout the va
cation months brings d pang of
regret to the heart Of many.
The nineteenth commence
ment will be celebrated at the
College beginning Friday even
ing at $50 o'clock, and the pro
gram for the next few days com
pares favorably with those of
preceding years. The speakers
for the occasion are all men of
note. men who have made for
themselves names as orators,
statesmen and thinkers and who
will be cordially welcomed by
the people Of Columbus. The
speaker Of the occasion, Hon. A.
4. Fox, needs no introduction to
a Columbus audience. He is
known and respected here as a
man of sound judgment and an
eloquent speaker. Rev. j. b.
Hutton, of Jackson, Miss. is the
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church Of the capital city and
ranks high as a pulpit orator.
He has accepted the invitation to
deliver the Commencement ser
mon.
A special feature of the pro
gram and one that viii be appre-
ciated by the public generally is

Items of Interest.

1t is about even chances that
the delegation from Mississippi
to the st. Louis Convention will
go upinstrueted. THE DISPATCH
faVors an uninstructed delega-
ton. You can never tell when
you get up in the morning what
you are going to do during the
day. Neither can the people of
Mississippi tell a month in ad-
vance what will be best to do at
the st. Louis Convention. Our
representative at National con-
ventions have always maintained
a dignity and standing in the
cauneils Of the party. 1t would
be pity to send a delegation
whose hands would be absolutely
tied in case serious consider
atiOns should arise. 1t looks
like Parker now and from the
best information ohtainable
Mississippi is for Parker.
There is no doubt but what our
delegation will support the New
York Jurist unless sentiment
changes. But as h e time
draws near who can tell what
might happen?
A large crowd will leave this
morning over the Mobile and
Ohio for Tuscaloosa, this being
the day set aside by the Baptist
church for their annual picnic.
The delegation from this city
will be swelled to larger numbers
by crowds from towns between
here and Tuscaloosa, and a day
full of enjoyment is anticipated.
A special train has been char
tered for the occasion, leaving
this city at 7:3O this morning and
starting on the return trip at 3
o'clock this afternoon.
The many admirers of Bob
Taylor will be gratified to learn
he has been secured to deliver
his lecture, Castles in the Air, "
at the College chapel Thursday
evening. Bob Taylor is a man
known and admired throughout
the South as lecturer and a
statesman. and no doubt will re-
ceive a hearty welcome at the
hands of the people of Columbus.
There is a state progressive
union. Columbus started the
ball rolling and every day we are
receiving letters from neighboring
towns asking US how we do it:
It's easy. Just get all your peo-
pie together and push" don't
pull, When you get every
body'S money IN the pot, then
you see a great interest in the
game"
You people who own lots had
better begin to build houses.
The coming of the stove factory
and the knitting mill calls for
two hundred new houses.
Build them to rent for from five
to twenty dollars a month. The
new population is coming get
ready for them.

"knocker" to the rear. There is
no place here for him and so
strong has the sentiment per-

churches are all working in per-

of Columbus. Mr.. d. II. San

improvements.

To stranger who makes a
tour of Columbus, the activity
among the contractors would
leave the impression that Colum-
bus is on boom. And so the lit
tie city is but not the boom that
springs up in a night, but the
result of a healthy growth.
Contracts have been let the
past month enough TO keep the
entire working force of the city
in employment for the next six
months, and a large per cent of
them longer than that.
Chief among the buildings I'M
der wayis the Underwear Factory.
This contract was secured by d.
S. McCIanahan, and the buildings
will be erected ia RObertson's
Addition on ground given by
Robertson Bros. Work OH the
buildings has begun and will be
rushed through to completion.
Another important addition to
the city is the Music Hall to be
added to the prepossessing Col
lege buildings. This contract
was also secured by D. S. Nc
Clanahan at cost of S34, 900.
The building will be completed
and ready for occupancy by the
opening of the next session, and
will be a handsome structure of
brick and stone.
The business portion of town
is not being neglected by this
wave of improvement. Work
has already begun on the build
ing formerly occupied by II. Sill
berberg, which cOntemplates a
complete change in this struc-
ture. The building is to be en-
larged considerably, an ad-
ditional story added and the
house put in shape for occupancy
by the Columbus Clothing Com
pany. The work is being done
by D. S. McClanahan, and when
finished the building will be one
of the handsomest business
houses in the city.
COl4m bus will always uphold
her reputation for pretty and
artistic homes, as IS evidenced
by the character and style Of
buildings now being erected in
the resident portion Of the city.
Among those in contemplation is
the handsome cottage to be cree.
ted by Mr.. W. B. PEBBLES on
College street. This will be a
two story house, fitted with all
modern conyeniences and a credit
to the neighborhOOd. The build
ing when completed will be oc.
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. S. b.
Street.
Next to this dwelling is the
cottage of Mrs. E. d. Keller
which is now nearing completion,
This is being erected by Mr..
Sam Kline and will be occupied
by Mr. J. r. Randle and family.
