improvements.

We were informed, a day or two
ago, that there are now being put
in, in the city, between three hun
bred thousand and four hundred
thousand dollars worth of improve
ments. This does not include those
improvements that are projected,
but takes in only those that are
actually in progress Of erection.
Our informant is a prominent real
estate agent whose observation is
extensive and who does not set his
sights too high in anything. There
are now being built between thirty
ana fifty residences and there are
many more in. contemplation. OF
business houses there are several
already begun and there would be
many more if the material could be
Obtained. A good many brick lay
ers and masons are idle, just al
this time, because no brick can be
gotten. Every effort has been made
to get them but without success.
Our builders have tried to procure
them at other towns but failed.
Other towns are bnilding as we'll
as ours and have no brick to spare.
One of our largest brick makers is
using all that he can make in build
ing and can furnish none to any
one else. The Court House, the
large warehouse Of Rogers & Son
on Front street, the Armstrong
block Of three story stores on
Spring street, the Fish hatchery,
the water works, all need brick and
work on them is 1mpeded because
they can't be gotten. This is only
a temporary Inconvenience and III
a very short time all the brick need
ed will be burned and there will
be 10 further delay in the con-
struction of the buildings that are
on the way. There are also several
residences that are being delayed
on the same account. There was
never such a time in the history OF
Tupelo and if the boom keeps up
all the available space in the city
will be covered by buildings. The
demand is very great for residen-
ces. A very large number Of non-
resident applicants have been here
and after diligent enquiry have
failed to get houses. The failure
Of these has deferred many others
from coming. Several lot owners
and other capitalists have built and
are building "a class of houses that
are very much in demand but ma
ny more are needed to accommo-
date home seekers. 1t is with diff
fculty that suitable lots can be
found Oh which to bnild them, but
every day we hear of vacant lots
being sold to builders. A number
of handsome cottages are being fin
ished on Greene street by Mr.. Jack
Yates and others, to be rented.
Mr.. W. F. Riley is building sever
al in other parts of the city. This
class of cottages, having from four
to SIX rooms, are very greatly in
demand. 1t is not putting it too
strong to say that if two were built
where one is there would be no
difficulty IN letting them.
Tupelo is certainly on aboom. Ma
nv other buildings are decided up
on and Will be completed within
the current year. Other factories
will soon be-under way. The city
wears an air of thrift and progress.
New people come every day. New
business is daily added to our al
large volume. New enterpri-
ses are daily projected. In a short
time Tupelo will be a new town.

GRAVY IS DANGEROUS.
Senator Pettus, AIabama's Venerable
Statesman, Wants Sauces BAN

"Young man." said Senator Pettus, oil
Alabamas aged SO, "the reason people get
fat is because they eat too much gravy
with their meat. Observe me. The con-
gressional directory says am SO. Maybe
am, but don't feel that old by 40years.

raised on plain diet, and have lived
on it all my life. In this day gravy is
called sauce, know. It's a French word
that means gravy, and if 1t had not been
given a French name by the English
speaking races l dare say not so much
of it would be eaten. 1t is shortening the
life of the race, just like so many other
French denominations are, and the sooner
we Danish it from our diet the better will
be the health of the generation of young
men and women coming on to take our
places,
"Now, mark you, don't object to a
little gravy on my meat, but just little
just enough to aid deglutition. 1t does
not aid digestion at all, YOU know; on
the contrary, it harms it-frst, by inter-

DISCUSSED TROLLEY LINE
Committee Of Councilmen Holds
Conference With X, Poole.
CONDITIONS ARE SUGGESTED
No Definite Action Taken, and Members
VIII Investigate Further Before Out
lining the Franchise.

Corncilmen Emmert. Barry. Kline,
Schill and Thompson, the members Of
the committee appointed at recent
meeting of the council to confer with
ATTORNEY X. Poole regarding the fran
chise for the proposed trolly line in
Martinsburg, held a meeting Mt the
city hall Wednesday evening and dis
cnssed tile matter IN q general but
thorough manner.
Mr.. Poole was present during the
early part of the meeting for the
purpose of giving the gentlemen of
the committee any additional infor-
nation they might desire concerning
his side Of the proposition. Owing to
the fact that this was the first meet
ing of the committee, the members
were not in position to give Mr.
Poole any definite understanding as to
the nature of the restrictions and lim-
itat,ons which they might recommend
to the council for inconoration in the
franchise; but the tone of the entire
discussion was decidedly faivorable.to
the project, and the members of the
commi ttee outlined in general wav
the terms of what tnsy believed would
be reasonable franchise.
Among the more important con-
ditions suggested was that the fran.
ehise should not be an exclusive one
that the trolley company should be
required to pave the street between
the rails and for distance of Is inches
on either side with whatever material
the council should select; that az
certain blocks of the principal streets
the company should be required to
pave one-third the street. providing
the city decided to pave the balance.
Questions of equipment, service.
safety appliances and minor consider
ations were also suggested. The
matter Of tax unon the gross re-
ceipts of the company will be discuss.
ed at later meeting. The committee
will also secure COPIES of franchises
from other cities as guide in hand
ling the situation here in an intelli'
gent and reasonable manner.
Mr.. Poole expressed himself rs graft.
fed at the spirit Of fairness manifest
cd by the members of the committee
toward the proisct. and said he be-
| lieved that franchise along the lines
suggested at the mseting Yesterday
would meet with the approval of his
clients. He found that every member
of the committee WAS heartily in favor
of the trollv line. and would aid its
establishment in every manner posi-.
ole. at the same time using the utmost
CAGE in safeguarding the interest Of
| the CITY.
Another meeting will be held in
short time. when it is thought thai
the matter will have assumed more
defiuite shape.

means stop soaking your meats in it be-
