Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-John H.
Kirby the Texas lumber king, who is
now in New York, states that the Brit
ish government viii build 10000 miles
Of railroad through Africa, carrying out
the Ioug-cherished scheme of Cecil
Rhodes. The cross ties for the road,
says Mr. Kirby, will have to come from
the south and principally from Texas.
The contract is sure to be awarded this
year, he says, and is bound to come to
America, for no other country in the
world can supply yellow pine in suffi-
cient quantities. 1t is estimated that
a contract of such proportions as this
will take all the yellow pine mills of
the south all their time to file The
work of building the railroad will be
performed by 1000 900 Chinese and
cody laborers imported for a period OF
three years.

1.-THE dotted line between Korea and
ManChuria marks the boundary. AS 1t
continues north it divides Russia from
Manchuria. All railroads on the map are
completed except the line from Fusan,
Korea. to Newchwang. There is also
short line completed between Chemulpo
and SEOUL
troops. There is one road, built by
American capital, extending from Seoul,
the capital, to the seaport of Chemulpo,
distance of twenty five miles. Anoth-
er line, which is destined to connect
Fusan with Seoul, is in course of con-
structionL but will not be completed for
a year or two. The consensus of opin-
ion, however, seems to be that if the
war Is not settled on the sea it will be
fought in Korea or in Manchuria
Manchuria Is bout one-third larger
than Texas. The most populous part
of it is the Laotung peninsula, on the
extremity of which jutting out be
tween the Yellow sea and the gulf of
Pechili, is Port Arthur, the key to the
door of the orient"
The predominating feature of the
Laotung peninsula from military
standpoint is the Manchurian railway,
sometimes called the Chinese Eastern,
which runs from Hardin on the north
to Port Arthur. Twenty miles from
Port Arthur Is Dalny Junction. where
a branch railroad runs to the port of
Dalny. another Russian stronghold
About eighty miles north of Dalny is
the port of Newchwang. Hardin is an
important military headquarters. and
Mukden is also occupied by Russians.

sea. seem too far away from Japan'S
line of communication with the home
base. This being the ease, it is argued
that Port Arthur would be the objec-
tive point OF the japanese forces.
According to recent Information, the
garrison at Port Arthur has lately been
Increased to 10000 men, ana the whole
Russian force in Manchuria has been
strengthened. 1t is known that large
bodies of troops have been transported
over the Transsiberian railway during
the past two months. and it is estimat-
ed that Russia will soon have at least
100000 men in and about Manchuria.
1t has been stated by those who have
made a study of her army that Japan
can dispatch an invading army of

All For A Dollar.

In this age of inventions it is re-
markable how much dollar will buy.
The other night three boys in this
town started out to have good time.
One had so cents, another had two
quarters, and the third had the promise
of a job in an Emporia store. The
three young men bought three bottles
OF beer, and some very bad whisky.
1t made them drunk, extravagantly
and unnecessarily drunk, and they
acted like pigs in public place and
were reprimanded by the proprietor.
Being drunk they sassed back; the
boy who had lost his two quarters
wanted to fight, the boy who had spent
his half dollar was noisy, and the boy
with the promise of a job was silly.
He did not see that the man who had
promised him a job was standing near.
So when he went around to get his Job,
few days later, he wondered why it
was not ready for him. 1t never will
be ready for him.
With the dollar the three young men
have bought lot of trouble, One of
them bought hardship for his mother
and sisters; another has bought
shame to those who love him; and the
third has bought an opportunity to
become an idler and a loafer.-Em.

NEW BANK
IN LEXINGTON
Capital Stock VIII be $1OO,OOO.Ol|
Fully Paid IN ToBesin Busi-
ness February End, 1905.

Lexington is to have a new bank
which will begin business February
2nd. The capital is to be $100,00O|
fully paid in, of which $4,000 hasE
already been subscribed. Lexington
capitalist are the promoters and large
subscribers. The parties who are
promoting this enterprise have inter-
ested many large planters in Carroll
and Yazoo counties, who, being inter-
ested in this Institution, will natu rail-
ly bring their large trade to this
place.
We understand that the new bank
will be called the Merchants and
Farmers and will occupy the Lewis
Herman Co., building formerly occu-l
pied by the Bank Of Commerce. This
bank will add very much to our
banking facilities and will doubtless
draw a large amount Of trade to our.
town that has formerly gone to other
places. Holmes county is a fine
field for investment and with increas-
ed capital in the banking business
will doubtless develop more rapidly,
if possible, than heretofore.
This makes the fourth bank for
Lexington and the Twelfth in Holmes
county, all Of which are making
handsome dividends. Let the good
work go on, Here's success to the
new institution.

ferns completed a picture of bridal
beauty long to be remembered.
The ceremony was preceded by the
beautiful rendition of "All For You,'
in the exquisite voice of Miss Edna
Wilburn. After which Mr.. James
0'Leary and Mr.. Ragsdale sang, Il
Live and Love You" in mastery style,
their magnificent voices blending in
the melody of the sweet song.
Mendelsohn's wedding march in the
artistic rendering of Mrs. Judge Niles
was the herald of the approaching
party accompanied by eight children,
whose little feet kept time to the
triumphant music. while their tiny
hands clasped long white ribbons,
whose miniature ratings with stream
ing ends and loops made a pathway
through which the bride and groom
entered the room.
The service was read in an impress
sive manner by Rev. 3. s. Lewis,
while dreamy music interspersed read
ing and responses.
The bride has lived always in her
childhood's home, and the devotion Of
those who love her for the gentle
traits Of sweet and sunny nature
crowned her an ornament and favor
ite of large social circle.
Mr.. Barr has for the past few years
made Lexington his home, and where
they will in. future reside. His ex-
emplary habits and manly living have
won the admiration and esteem Of
hosts of friends.
The vessel Of bright hopes is launch

the best wishes and congratulations
Eof many friends, the white sails Of
future promise swell and fill with
happy omen, may it ever gently glide,
