In Memory Of Mrs. Dr.. spruiIl.

Our hearts and homes were
made ipexpressibly sad when
God in His wisdom saw fit to
send His angels 10 carry the
sweet spirit Of Vesta Joyner
Sp1-uill to her home in the skies.
A pure lily has been plucked
from the stem and transplanted
10 celestial gardens. How much
loved her I never knew until
[ saw her laid to rest beneath
the sod. l cannot realize that
Vesta, my own sweet cousin, is
dead, yet It's true, and some day
we will read the meaning of our
tears and then, Oh, then will we
understand. Her place is vacant
yet holy influence fingers in
beautiful memory to gladden. the
hearts Of loved ones who still re-
main in the homes of earth. Her
life was beautiful, best loved in
the hearts Of those by whom
she was best known. Oh, how
they will miss her at home, and
she will be greatly missed at the
dear old church she loved so
Well. But the golden gate was
Opeued, a gentle voice said
Come" and from her home in
the skies she extends TO her
loved ones beautiful bekoning
hands. Broken hearted loved
ones, look up through your tears
for some sweet day you will
meet Vesta again.
One precious to our hearts has gone,
The voice we loved is stilled,
The place made vacant in her home
Can never more be filed.
! Our Father in His wisdom called.
The boon His love had given;
And though on earth the body lies,
The soul is safe in Heaven.

stage OF the development of the
cotton mills in Mississippi il
would De unwise to enact re
strictiye legislation. 1t IS con
tended that many of the cotton
mills Ia Mississippi would be
com PEELED to close down if such
a law we're passed, and that dur
ing the past year nearly every
mill has operated at loss on ac-
count of the high price Of cotton
Very little hope IS entertained
in Mississippi that Senator Mon
ey will secure the passage of his
bin introduced in Congress to
reimburse Southern planters for
cotton destroyed during the civil
war. Similar bills have been IN
PRODUCED by mem bers Of Con
gress from Mississippi for the
past thirty years, and all have
met the same fate, being pigeon
holed in the committee rooms.
If Senator Money should at some
future time, however. succeed in
securing legislation of this class
which he has SO persistently
pushed during his service ia Con
gress. it would pour d golden
harvest into the South, many
millions of dollars being required
to settle the pending claims.

Missis sippi Matters.

Commenting on the annual
comparative statement Of the
banking industry Of the State,
the Commercial Appeals Jackson
CORES pondent says: This state
ment IS the most remarkable
showing yet made. Indeed it
reveals condition Of solid fpan-
cial prosperity that is hard to re-
alize. The statement shows, for
example. that in the item Of midi
vidual deposits alone there has
been an increase Of over ten mil
lions Of dollars in the past twelve
months, the total amount Of in
dividual deposits now aggregat-
ing the sum Of $50, 087. O42. 50.
With this vast amount of private
capital lying in the banks, Mis-
sissippi should not experience
great difficulty in floating a mil
lion dollar issue. There were
eight new banks organized and
doing business during the year,
besides several new ones that
were preparing TO open their
doors for business when the
year closed. There was an in
crease Of one million dollars in
the item of cash on hand" re
ported by the banks. ard the to-
tai amount Of cash on hand was a
little over three and one-half mil
lions. Loans and discounts
showed an increase Of over five
millions. The total resources
reported was $40, 427, 99162, an
of over twelve millions.
The total Of capital paid in was
So, g98. Ga y, an increase Of near
ly one million and a quarter.
The legislature is showing very
little disposition to enact legisla-
ton exempting from taxation all
money loaned at 6 per cent. or
less. The senate bill seeking
this end was killed in a most
manner. and similar
fate is in store for the same bill
in the house. The
seems to largely pre-
vail among Mississippians that
such a bill would benefit chiefly
the foreign loan and mortgage
concerns whose usuri0uS con
tracts have caused so much liti-
CATION ia the State. Farther
more, the cry in Mississippi for
the past two decades has been
for development with outside
capital, and all kinds Of glitter
iEg inducements for investments
of this class have been offered
any appreciate result
The large portion of Mississippi's
industrial prosperity has been
promoted with home capital, and
the exemptions granted have not
aided materially in bringing it
about.
There will be no legislation on
the subject Of en- ploying child
labor in factories at this session
of the legislature, notwithstand
ing the strong sentiment that
was awakened on the subject
prior to the converting of the ses-
sion. All of the bills touching
the child labor question intro
duced in the two houses have
been unfavorably reported. aud
the idea seems to largely prevail
among members that just at this
