TO BUILD MONUMENT.
Carroll County Veterans VIII Honor
Their Dead.

Many counties throughout Mississip-
pi have erected monuments TO the Lost
Cause and the thought is entertained
that some day the Veterans OF Hancock,
assisted by the organization of the Sons
OF Veterans and the people generally
VIII accomplish as much. Carroll coun-
ty Veterans are the latest to build a
monument, as the following from the
Carrollton Conservative will show:
The meeting of the citizens OF this
district at the courthouse on Monday In
the interest OF the monument to Carroll
county Confederate Veterans was well
attended. There was disappointment
that General McClurg could not meet
his engagement TO address tho meeting.
Hon, 4. U. Sisson filled the engagement
az the request OF tho committee, and did
the duty well. The address was full of
patriotism, devotion to the principles for
which tho South contended, and loye
for the Veterans who survive, and great
respect for the memory OF the dead. Az
ter the speaking closed the following
preamble and resolutions we're adopted
by the meeting, viz;
Whereas, The surviving Confederate
Veterans and Daughters OF the Confed-
eracy and their friends of Carroll coun-
ty, are making efforts TO raise money
which is TO be used for the erection OF a
suitable memorial TO the memory OF tho
Confederate soldiers who enlisted from
the old county from 1861 TO 1895, and
deeming that a most laudable and praise
worthy undertaking, we resolve that we
VIII to tho utmost of our ability do every
thing to promote that cause. That we
most cordially endorse the movement
and apprcciatIye spirit that looks to the
perpetnation OF the splendid principles
Tor which those gallant banda OF noble |
men suffered and bled, and for which |
many Of them gave their lives. We
know OF no better way OF commencing |
20 future generations those principles |
That those heroes dared 10 die for, than
by testifying in this way TO their exam
Piles and devotion. We therefore pro-
mise that we win spare no efforts TO raise
the nnds necessary to commemorate
their valor, and TO impress upon our
and grand children the lessons
81 history that their ancestors made glo-
rions.D
The subscription lists are being pre-
'ented and neat sums are being promis-
% and all tho veterans arc being urged
. press the work Of collecting funds, 80
hat the monument will soon be reality.
Should such work ever be undertake
IN IN Hancock county, no better results
'ould be had than with the assistance Of

some have thrust upon them preat.
ness that does not fit. There ia sMrs
Wiggs." whose amiable optimism was
brought into general notice by Alice
Caldwell Hogan. Miss Hogan promptly
took refuge in the name OF Rice, and
MRS. Wigs" was left to bear the storm
indeed. Admirers OF Mrs. Wiggs' ho-
meiy philosophy have come upon her in
nordes from the east and west, the north
and South, to pay tribute by gawlsina
at her, by trampling her "cabbage
patch" and by carrying off her flowers
ana pieces OF her front-yard fence as
souvenirs.
And "Mrs. Wigg," not having been
born to greatness, nor having by slow
degrees achieved it, but having had il
thrust upon her suddenly, was not pre-
pared for such homage. Tho soul does
not expand to greatness in moment.
even though the sunshine OF fame beats
hotly upon it.
20 the greatness thrust upon her docs
not fit, The cheerful optimism chat was
supposed to be part of herself proved
to bo only a cloak thrown ovor her.
She has demonstrated that she has a
violent temper and can throw slops upon
her admiring visitors.
She has been hailed into police court.
where she has indicated herself. IL ia
true, in the eyes Of the law, but has not
yindicated her character for good ma
ture.
"It was all right before that fool bool,
was written" she declares, "but since
then there's been no peace for me and
the children I've been Mrs. Wiggsed
until I'm sick and tired of it. Day IN
and day out people come moseyin' around
askin' fool questions and pokin' their
noses into what don't concern 'em at all.
It's too much for flesh and blood, and
won't put up with it any longer"
So tho supposedly great "Mrs. Wiggs"
is, after all, only plain Mrs. Mary Bass,
of common flesh and blood. Mrs. Mary
Bass, of Tintown, Louisville, Ky.,. refu-
ses to make the misflt greatness kept
upon her. "Mrs. Wiggs" still remains
Mrs Bass toherself, and resolutely re-
fuses to be flattered by the public deter
mination to consider her as something
that she is not.
Maybe most people can gladly repeat
with Burns the prayer:
"O,wad some power the giftie gle us
To see ourseps asithers see u.s."
But not Mrs. Mary Bass. She would
have other see her as she sees herself.

The Legislature OF the State has pe-
nerously established and provided for
maintenance OF the above department
with the view OF preserving as far as 1
can be done the record OF Missi ssippi
soldiers.
tits therefore important that every ve-
teran in the State should connect him
self with an organized camp and equally
important that every camp should ap-
point committee TO get up suet data
as viii add 10 the interest, accuracy and
history OF Mississippi veterans.
1t requires time TO accomplish this end
aud surviving comrades should do them
selves and those who gave up their lives
on the field Of strife the honor and jus-
tice OF contributing matter to preserve a
faithful record Of their heroic deeds. 1t
is to be hoped that some ono competent

greatest army that was ever marshaled
to do battle.
The general commanding would i'm

Revenue Agent at BILOXI Again.

A civil suit was filed by State Revenue
Agent Writ Adams, through Miller &
Doty, against John ]. Kennedy, charg-
ing him with conducting wholesale beer
business without privilege license since
the 10th day of April, 1901, ,and demand
ing that he pay to the State, county
and city OF Biloxi the sum Of 1900 in
equal payments, together with all costs
of said suit.
A suit has also been filed against Pat
Kennedy for $500 for wholesale privi-
lege license for the past nine years. The
license is $3.50 per year with the penalty
Of having it doubled if not paid The
theory on which these suits are brought
is that a wholesale as well as a retail IL
cense needed where beer is sold in bar
rels, as the Kennedys are alleged to have
sold it-Biloxi Herald.

He refused at first to listen, but finally
said he'd do it. 1t would be good
chance he said, to show his strength of
will, and, anyhow, it was only an ideal!"
"Of course, you applanded that!"
II did, and he went of, delighted to
count up how much he would save dur
ing the year by not smoking. As for me.
I improved the time by making notes
of the bargains advertised in the papers
and mapping out q shopping tour for
the next day which would keep me until
six o'clock and bring me home ex-
hausted. Mr.. Smithson didn't come
back for two hours and when he did, he
was cross. I tried to interest him in the
Advertisements, when he suddenly;
turned on me, saying that I spent more
time and money, as well as wasting
more health, on bargain hunting than
he did on tobacco, and If he could give
up the one, he thought I could give up
the other!" @...,...:
"Oh. but that was different!"
indeed it was, and so l told him, but
he wouldn't listen. He said was in the
habit of spending five dollars worth Of
time to save five cents in money. He
reminded me that had q quantity Of
things put away upstairs which I had
bought because they were cheap and
which could never use; he proved that
many bargains had shown themselves
dear and said could save more money
by remaining at home and seeing to the
house. When I demurred, he quoted my
own arguments in regard to smoking.

strength Of mind as he had and ]
wouldn't buy bargain for 9 year,"
"Oh, gracious, but how can you" :
