The Columbus weekly dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 1902-1905, 1904-07-07


the thoughts Of many turn to the
cooling breezes of the summer
) resorts. Kolola Springs, the
popular resort for people of this
section, is already crowded with
. campers. Parties from Aber
deem, Starkville, West Point and
; some few from this city are now
camping at this delightful spot.
Camping parties are being
planned for the future and il may
be easily seen that the warm
days of the past two weeks have
started the summer exodus. A
party composed of Messrs. Fred
| Krecker, Stanley Gardner, Phil
Krecker and Henry Gunter left
yesterday for Kolb Springs for a
ten days camp and others are
being organized to follow in few
DAYS.
While nothing definite is given
out in reference to the street rail
way yet it is understood that a
strong effort is being made to Sc
cure a line for this city. 1t is
known that besides the local com
pany interested there is also an
eastern concern who it is thought
will apply for a franchise. This
company has been interested in
the city for some time and has
only been waiting for Columbus
to attain such growth and devel-
opment as would make an invest
ment of this kind pay. Colum-
bus has about attained this
growth, and it is to be hoped that
the company will see in our city
a good location for an up to date
line.
Gen J. Ii. Sharp arrived in the
city on Friday and spent yester-
day mingling with his friends.
He is fresh from Jackson and
says sentiment over the State is
rapidly drifting towards Cleve-
land as the man for standard
bearer of the democracy against
Roosevelt, the people believing
he will win and preferring him
to another four years of Roose-
Welt and his social equality teach
ings add doctrines.
Mr.. Geo. Ludwig, the stone
cutter who has done so much
work for Columbus, is again in
the city in charge of the stone
work on the Music Hall at the
College. There is a large amount
of stone work to be done on this
building and it will be by far the
handsomest of the many hand
some l. /. & c. buildings.
Mr.. Walter Weaver returned
yesterday from Atlantic City
where he was called by the illness
of his little son, who we are glad
to state is much improved. Mr..
Weaver leaves tomorrow for ST.
Louis where he goes as a delegate
to the National Democratic con-
vention.
Capt. Joe Prowell's friends in
this city and over the county
learn with sincere sorrow Of his
continued illness at his home in
the prairie. Mr.. Prowell has
been i'll for some time and his
condition is regarded as quite
serious.
The inside work on the store
recently occupied by Mrs. A. M.
Jobe has been completed and
presents a pleasing appearance
to the passers by. The store is
now occupied as an Office by Mr..
G. L. Cox, of the Southern Rail
road.
Mr.. Shedd, who has been in
| Nashville for the past several
weeks under surgical treat
ment of DR.. Glenn, is ex-
pected TO arrive home this morn
ling. 1t will be gratifying to his
friends to know that he is inn
proving.
Quite a mum Der from this city
will attend the big picnic and
barbecue at Brookysville on the
10th. Reduced rates will prOba-
bly, be given oyer the NJ. & o.
and the occasion will no doubt be
and enjoyable one.
The Worshipful Master an
nounces the Master s degree for
