FERTILIZER.
Important information for
Farmers.

This is An age of investigation
and improvement along all lines,
and agriculture, the foundation of
all wealth, is receiving a fsll share
of favors, and we are sure you
will not hesitate to accept one we
have in store for you.
We will say, first, that Cotton
Seed produced on land PROPERLY
FERTlLIzED, is more valuable for
our purpose. than from land not
fertiiized at all, and If you will
use not less than 900 lbs. per acre
of our COTTON ELEVATOR, (4oo
lbs. preferred. a brand especially
manufactured for US by our own
Company. (The Capital Ferti-
lizer & Manufacturing Company,
of Jackson. Miss.,) we will pay
you bl.oo above the price of seed
produced On unfertilized land. for
each and every ton, accompanied
by proper certificate, that the
above fertilizer was used in the
quantity mentioned. The in
creased yield of cotton will more
than compensate you for the
expenditure.
We will carry a stock of this
brand at our mill and will deliver,
as wanted. as long as it holds out.
We will only have a limited sup
ply of this brand this season. If
you want any, come early and
place your order.
In addition to the above brand
we will sell you the following
brands which we keep on hand at
our Grenada Mill:
HIGH GRADE NoNPAREIL,
RED STAR BRAND GUANo,
HIGH GRADE ACID PHos-
PHATE,
KANT,
MURlATE OF POTASH.
If YOU wish to exchange Cor
TON SEED for Fertilizer we will
exchange ton for ton and give
you in addition $500 in money.
If you will write us we will send
a man to see you and more fully
explain. Yours truly,
Mississippi Cotton Oil Co,
H. w. LATlMER, Manager.

GET TOGETHER.

To man stopping in Grenada for
even for a week, and being familiar
with the topography Of her country,
several questions arise when he goes
about town and makes note Of the
several industries. Grenada is a town
we'll located aud with unlimited facil-
tiles. In the heart of a rich agricul-
tural and tfmbered district, she should
by all means, be more alive to future
possibilities. No one man can bring
about progressive results unless backed
by the representative business inter
est, and with the moral support OF
the whole people.
Perhaps the best answer as to why
Grenada has no more manufacturing
industries is the fact that farmers de-
pend almost solely upon cotton as a
crop. We favor the retention of cot
ton as a staple AT all times, but ulsu
favor a more diversified crop. Diver
sified farming is the life of any town
and country.
There is no reason why Grenada
should not have q Furniture factory,
a wagon factory, fertilizer factory
and first class brick yard and tiliny
industry. There is ample capital
right here to back up such enterprises
and it only need little push and en-
ergy to accomplish something. AS we
have repeatedly said, let us get togeth-
er.

A number OF planters and farmers

To the Public.

I wish to announce tn the public
that the selling of the Leigh interest
in the Leigh -Uunderwood Co., by the
assignee of the Merchants Bank, will
in no way affect the management Of
our Company. The close competition
which has existed heretofore will
cont nue., and Grenada'S reputation
for being the cheapest place in North
Mississippi, to buy hardware and in
plements will be maintained. Our
firm is enjoying the largest business
in it's history, for which we thank oul
many friends and customers.
Yours truly,

REFUSES TO SURRENDER.
Turbulent Labor Boss Defies the

Bloomington, H., Feb. 1A-The situa- ton at Stanford tunnel. growing out of the labor troubles on the Indianapolis Southern Railway with 15O Greeks and other foreigners, remains unchanged. Every effort Is being made to settle the difficulty without bloodshed.
 After a conference with Governor Dur bin today, when the men refused to sur render. definite action was abandoned un- til tomorrow The head boss, Sam StranS, still refuses to submit to arrest by the sheriff or by any other officer, and It is said that he and his fellow workmen would not be taken alive by the authori- ties.
 Sheriff Thrasher and a deputy went to the railroad camp this morning and spent the day in trying to compromise the trouble He asked for Strang, but he ab- solutely refused to come out The sheriff told the excited men that he did not come now to make an arrest. but to learn the cause of the trouble. After this statement all talked freely through an interpreter, and the statement was made that If Contractor Bruce Head would pay the men wages alleged to be due. they would vacate the camp at once and give no. further trouble. They would not ac- cept checks or orders.
 SheriH Thrasher said tonight that he re- gards life too sacred to make any unnec- essary move on the enraged men and he will insist on the men being paid and then If there Is any violations of law the arrests will be made regardless Af the re- suit

 St. Petersburg, Feb 15.-Major-General Pfiug wires that according to private ad- vices the Japanese, after the battle at Chemulpo, landed 1900 troops.
 All Is, quiet at Port Arthur. There Is no news of the enemy's fleet and no con- f1rmation of the reported appearance of Japanese ironclads off Tatung Kan, but indications are that the enemy's scouts are off Inkau.
 There is no official confirmation of the rumor from Port Arthur of the landing of Japanese troops at Shan Hai Kwan. If the rumor should prove to be correct, it will mean that the Japanese are try ing to go in the rear of the Russians from both Hanks with the object of cutting off communication.
 Tn military circles confidence Is ex- pressed that the forward Japanese move ment form Korea will be checked as soon as tine Russian advance is encoun tired.
 The retirment of the families of Russian officials across the Yalu river from Yog- ampho is interpreted as an indicatio on that the news of the first serious land fighting will emanate from this point
 The alarm occasioned by the reported landing of Japanese in Korea exterds as far beck as Mukden where the Chi nese are said to be in a state of panic.

Order Being Brought Out of Chaos and Business is Rssuming Along
 All Lines-Street Cars in Operation.

Baltimore, Feb. 1l-Just one week ago the great, fire which destroyed eighty blocks and 2,600 houses in the business centre of this city broke out and seven days thereafter it may be truthfully said that the city has shown a recuperative power which must be accepted as extra ordinary.
 The energy exhibited by Mayor Lsnn and the whole city government in bring Ing order out of chaos and the spirit or resolution shown by the merchants whose stores are now shapeless piles of debris has Justly excited admiration on all sides
 That the business community is stefnly bent upon the rapid rebuilding of the dc- yastated district has been made plainly manifest by the emergency committee which the Mayor has appointed as an aa- yIsory board to himself and which though without legal power. will practi- calIv exercise a, potent Jurisdiction in regulating the height and character Of buIIdinRs the opening of new streets, the crea t.on of small parks on ground here tofore occupied by houses and In other matters relating to the building or a Thoroughly modern city. This committee will also decide on what streets reoulio- ing may begin at once. so that improve ments may be put under way without delay.
 
 alansed since the fire was checked, the great majority of merchants who were burned out have found locations and re- sumed business. Furniture dealers. Jew- elers. clothiers and others have already received new stocks and displayed them and every bank Is doing business al- though in restricted quarters It IS true. hut the current of trade and financial trnnsa actions has begun to flow on as be- fore. .,
 in the exemption of it's terminal facilities from the destroying blast, circumstance which has enabled the Chamber of Com merce to notify the world that it Is ready for business at the old stand and which furnishes the guarantee that there would be no interruption to the vast exporting and importing business and the great coast trade of this seaport. .s. - ..
 The restoration of almost the whole of the clty's street car service is one of the agreeable surprises of the week as the inhabitants feared that the period of walking would be extended indefinitely.
