April "a. lJO4.
Editor Advertiser:
Yours to hand, and in reply will
state that this is the most healthful
beautiful and in every way the most
delightful climate have ever Sc en-,
1t is never cold nor hot, wet nor dry,
but we have an even temperature all
the year. We have here an elevation
of about thirty-seven hundred feet,
which keeps it cool all summer.
DR.. johnson and | have both great
ly improved in health and are again
taking on the vigor of youth.
This country is in its incipiency as
to mining, as the hidden millions of
metal are still undeveloped. Although
many rich mines are being worked
with good profit it is nothing COM
pared to what the near future will
bring forth. The country is very
broken and mountainous and abounds
with rich deposits Of gold, silver,
copper and iron. Every man we meet
has a piece of property to sell, nearly
all being undeveloped but as U. S.
capital is pouring into this country,
this condition of affairs will not last
long.
The country is sparcely settled,
the natives living either in town or
along the little mountain streams.
The principal industry here is mining
and stock raising, although sufficient
wheat and beans, which constitute
the principal diet, are raised along
the streams by irrigation. There are
also many fine orchards Of tropical
fruits.
Last, but not least, are the many
beautiful senoritas that parade the
fowery plazas here every evening,
always in pairs, never alone or with
a gentleman. It almost makes us
wish we were young again, as the
young men catch sleeps eyes glances
from the fair damsels as they pass
and are often permitted to accompany
the pair.
AS we will be at home in a very
short time will be able to tell you
more about the country and its re-
sources.
Give my best regards to Mr.. Often
burg and wishing you all success,
am yours truly. |

Concerning Beauvoir.

! The I. D. C. Convention which
meets in Greenwood, Miss, on May
3, 4 and 5, will have as one of
its features the celebration of the
opening of Beauvoir as a home for
the veterans of Mississippi, their
wives and widows. 1t is a strange
coincidence that this celebration
should take place at Greenwood, the
home of Mrs. A. McC. Kinbrough,
the originator Of the plan to purchase
Beauvoir, and where nearly eleven
years ago she organized society
which had for it's purpose the restor-
alton of this historic home after its
wreckage by the terrible storm that
swept the Gulf Coast in October, 1903.
The work of this little band Of tire
less women shows there to-day a
mute tribute to their love and 10y
atty. 1t has been a hard-fought
battle to get the home established at
Beauvoir, and now that it has been
accomplished, those who have labored
so zealously for it are to be congratu-
lated on the success of their efforts,
for they have overcome difficulties
that seemed insurmountable to those
on the outside who watched the
progress Of the work with the deepest
interest. 1t is to be hoped that the
Sons Of Confederate Veterans of Mis-
sissippi, who now own the property
will always hold the title, and when
it is no longer needed as Soldiers
Home, make it the Mt. Vernon of the
Southern Confederacy.-Com
Appeal.
Auditor 7. M. Henry, one of the
Beauvoir directors, went to Beauvoir
last week and installed the new SUI
perintendent, Mr.. r. L. Mcknight.
There are to be no changes in the
management of Beauvoir. The Sons
Of Veterans still own the property,
which is very gratifying to those who
love this historic old place and its
sacred memories. From the Sons of
Veterans board Of directors the gov
ernor has selected four Of the number
to have charge Of the funds appro-
priated by the state for the support
Of the veterans in the home. There
Is no doubt that the two boards will
work in perfect harmony. The boards
appointed from the Beauvoir Home
Memorial Association and from the
United Daughters Of the Confederacy
remain unchanged. This is highly
The Lexington advertiser., 1904-04-28

pleasing to the people of Greenwood,
as three of these excellent ladies are
Oh these two boards-Mrs. A. McC.
Kimbrough, Mrs. S. r. Coleman and
Mrs. L. P. Yerger. 1t is well known
throughout the state that it was
through Mrs. Kimbrough's noble and
unceasing efforts that Beauvoir was
bought and home for the helpless
old veterans of the state established
there. All unite in congratulating
Mrs. Kimbrough and those noble
women who assisted her in the work
when it seemed that there was no
hope of accomplishing this labor of
love.-Greenwood Commonwealth.

Outlaw-Moter.

Married-Dr. P. r. Outlaw, OF New
Orleans, and Miss Allie M. Moter,
of Lexington, at the brides par
rental home, by Rev. j. P. Hick-
man, OF Durant, at nine o'clock,
this morning.
DR.. Outlaw came over on this
mornings train, accompanied by
his best man, r. @. Neville, and
E. L. Langstaff, DR.. and Mrs. r. +.
Howard, and Rev. ]. Hickman. The
nuptial ceremonies, spoken in words
that impressed all present, were
celebrated in the parlor, beautifully
decorated for the occasion. After
the ceremony the bridal party and
guests repaired to the dining room
where beautiful repast awaited
them. AT half past ten O'Clock the
bridal party left in carriages for the
train, which soon sped them to
Durant, where they were to take the
fast mail for New Orleans. The
Advertiser joins their many friends
in rendering the happy couple con-
and in wishing them
unalloyed happiness always.

Only Bears Wanted.

u6 tIC NcW OIh SDl-
ton Exchange in rejecting the APP
plication of Mr.. T. J. Major for
share of stock and seat in that
institution is thus explained in a
recent issue of the New York Times:
"The reason for Mr.. Majors fail
ure to secure admission to the Cot
ton Exchange is popularity supposed
to have been that he is large specu-
latoy vita bull proclivities, a genius
which is not in high favor among
the cotton brokers in this city just
now.
Mr.. Major is one of the men,
qers of the So-called New Orleans
bull clique and has always been
known as one of the biggest men in
his line. He is known to have car
ried 100000 bales of futures and
10000 bales of spot cotton at the
same time without any pool assist
ance.'
IT this statement be true, 1t is, in
effect, notice served upon cotton
dealers that only "bears" are wanted
in the membership OF the New York
Cotton Exchange. The recent utter
rout Of the "bear" element by
prominent "bull" operators in New
Orleans, of which Mr.. Major was
conspicuous member, has evidently
enraged the arrogant element in
New York who hope TO thrive by
keeping the South poor, and they
seem determined that those who
were responsible for thwarting their
efforts to prey upon the cotton sec
lion shall be duly punished
But the vengeful deed has utterly
failed of its purpose. The course of
events during the past year has de-
monstrated the superiority Of New
Orleans over New York as an arbiter
of cotton prices, and Mr.. Major can
find an ample field here for his
operations in the future.
The successful fight made by New
Orleans for supremacy IN the cotton
markets Of the world has only just
begun, in so far as this city is con-
cerned, and il, in face of the logical
and substantial advantage which
New Orleans now holds over New
York, the "bears' of that market
wish to make the issue they are well
come 10 all they can get out of it.
Mr.. Major has not been injured by
the incident, but the New York Ex-
change will have considerable OK.
planning to do in the attempt to
Justify this open notice to the world
that in the future nobody except
bears will he welcomed to member
ship therein.-New Orleans States.
The idea of Hearst using money
to buy the democratic nomination
for president is rot. Some of those
who are making the most fuss about
it could be the easiest bought. The
fact is if any buying has been done
it was not by Hearst but by the
trusts, which he has always fought
and which are fighting him. No
one, from reading some OF our
democratic exchanges would for
moment suppose that Hearst had
always been and was still demo-
crat. Those same men who are 80
violent against Mr.. Hearst, must be
ignorant OF the fact that Mr.. Hearst
has spent more money for democ-
racy and against trusts than all the
democrats in Mississippi. They also
denounce his journalism, and yet all
the large dailies in our big southern
cities pattern after him, use his syn
dicate service, and the others would,
IT thew had the means and justify
ing support.
