Commenting upon the independence
OF the people of Mississippi Of the
great trusts and combines, a former
citizen has this to say: In the good
old county of Tippah in northeast
Mississippi, where the hills are red
and the gullies are many, and where
the people are said to be poor in the
worlds goods, there is more indie
pendence than in almost any section
OF the country. The meat trust and
the packers strike worry them not,
they raise and butcher their own cat
tie and hogs, raise at home their own
chickens and eggs, have their own
corn ground into meal at the little wa
ter and steam mills, and live, and live
we'll, it matters not what the condi-
ton OF the balance Of the country
may be. There is more real indepen-
dence and good living on well man
aged eighty acre farm in Tippah and
similarly situated counties in Missis-
sippi, than in any other section Of
the universe.

Water Valley announces the es-
tabfishment Of the first real estate
agency for that town. It is composed
Of solid progressive citizens, and will
no doubt make money for the pro-
moters as well as prove Of benefit to
the town. A live agency Of this kind
is real help to every community. It
furnishes an exchange between buyer
and purchaser that can be brought
about in no other way.
The soldier boys Of Mississippi are
holding their regular annual encamp-
ment at Biloxi this week. The atten-
dance is said to be the largest ever
known. The encampment is held I'M
der the new Dick military bill and is
the first Of the kind to be held in this
Estate.

The department Of agriculture at
Washington in making a report on the
manufacture Of cotton, gives figures
that should be great source of graf
ification to the south. These figures
prove that we are beginning to manu-
facture the cotton that we raise. A
portion Of this report is as follows:
During the past twenty years the
consumption Of cotton in the north
has increased 10000 bales or 80 per
cent; in the south 1907, 900 bales or
800 per cent These as well as othe-
statistics, go to prove that the south
is making great progress along tho
line Of cotton manufacturing and that
ere long We will manufacture all that
We raise. When this is done, then
this great section Of the United States
will be doing what it should have
done all along.

But staying cut so that they could
work up more sympathy they got the
same treatment that MAS accorded
the other side shows during the
week. The corn palace management
did not pay any attention to any
thing out side of the corn palace. 1t
is presumed after the Pierre fellows
take their stuff home they will Gem
mence to work on the sympathy of
the public by throwing out all kinds
OF charges against Mitchell for the
alleged bad treatment they got down
here. That is about all there is left
to their capital campaign and they
have got to work it to the limit.
The people, however, are getting
tired of the helly-aching business OF

WERE A DISAPPOINTED LOT
The Pierre Fellows Went Home With

went home "A sadder but wiser peo-
Pile. For immaculate gall Pierre

had gone to work and spent several
thousand dollars to have their corr
palace and arranged to entertain
vast crowds of people during the
week. The Pierre Buttinsky family
realized that this would give them a
good opportunity to get i'm touch
with d class OF people who never
went out their way and regardless of
all propriety in the situation came
down to Mitchell to take advantage
OF ouI crowds. 1t was without doubt
the greatest piece OF nerve ever en-
hibited by a rival candidate. When

they might term an act OF Obscure

other counties were making a display
OF exhibits produced by natural rain

deception on the part OF Pierre to
have placed their exhibit in the pal

would have made little difference as
that is the way in which they are
conducting their campaign.

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.

Editor Herald:-ThS press through
out the country has given extended
notices of the character and eccen-
tricities of the worlds great citizen,
George Francis Train, who has now
gone to his last and final rest. 1t
has always seemed to me he should
have been taken up and discussed In
more serious vein, for surely he
was a mastersmind in many respects.
1t was my fortune to meet this man
and thereby have an opportunity to
observe him at close range. In the
early fall of 1870 Sir George was
touring the western states delivering
lectures, giving blackboard examples,
all to demonstrate he was the proper
person to be chosen president of the
United States of America, and his
personality constituted the whole
show, and the audiences ne drew
sere large, enthusiastic and payed a
aiberal admission fee. One afternoon
fabout 4:30 at indianapolis, Ind, Sir
George called on me at the office of
Che /. & st. L. Ry. Co., and opened
the conversation by stating he was
advised that was the proper repre-
sentative of that railroad company
and he desired to do some business of
special Importance, and emphasized
his words by stating that 1t was neces-
sary to do said business p. d. O.. He
then proceeded to name all the state
officials from governor to states at
torney, and in most dramatic manner
to charge them with conspiracy to
prevent him from fulfilling most i'm
portant engagement at Terre Haute,
where he was to open and dedicate
the new opera house that evening AT
eight o'clock. He went on to state
that he had delivered ono of his
most powerful arraignments of the
state officials at Lafayette and in con.
sequence they had it so fixed he
would miss connection, claiming they
purposely delayed his trains, and he
exclaimed: Here I am II miles
away and these conspirators are now
laughing at my discontinue" He
stated he had called at the Office Of
the Vandalia line and they had de
clined to afford him any assistance
Then he concluded these officials
were in league with the state ofn
cials. Consequently, he went on tt

ple were employed, VINO received IN
