Christmas seems but = remote possibility
for the Exposition workers.
And the reason for the bleak Christmas
In prospect is that the Exposition pay day
IS rot until tho end of the month. and the
employees have not been paid wherewith
to do their Christmas shopping. For the
week before the Yuletide, the employees
cast anxious eyes toward the local treas
urers oiticc. expecting a summons any
moment to come and be paid in time to
provide Christmas cheer.
But the summons came not. ana now
of the employees invested their money for
Christmas presents in imported articles In
the foreign exhibits at the Fair. Although
these articles have been paid for by the
purchasers, they could not be delivered to
them until after the duty had teen paid
upon them by the exhibitors after the
close of the Fair.
Owing to delay in obtaining ciearances
from the customs department on the goods
many of the purchasers will be disap-
pointed. as It will be impossihis 10 have

until after Christmas.

oommodous building, which he expects to see completed by the beginning of next session. Epes has many public-spirted citizens, who are much interested in the subject of education and as they are men of financial strength, it may be accounted certainty that they will erect the school building. Already MT. T. V. White, who is largely interested has donated a hand some lot for this purpose.
 A most hopeful and helpful sign for the future of Epes is that her people real ize the strength of position and possibl- ities possessed by this town, and will leave nothing undone that means for it's growth and advancement.
 Sumpter Is Progressive.
 Sumter county Is quite progressive as is shown by the fact that recently the people voted bond issue of S2O0 900, sold the bonds and will at once apply the proceeds to the improvement of public roads. Most modern machinery for this has already reached here and the great work will soon begin.
 Delightful Place for Homes.
 Epes is delightful place for homes Here dwell the sons and daughters of the real southern planters of anti-bellum days, when the prairie section of Ala bama was the real gem in the garden of southern industry, when the latch string hung on the outside of the door. and genuine hospitality, wealth and re- | finement met the guest within. The fathers and mothers may have passed | away and their children may in a meas ure be deprived of wealth to which they were entitled by natural right, but the | old spirit still survives. Today 1t is written in the fields, in the homes, in the flower gardens, in business marts and on the highways. It is spoken by the | church spires which adorn these vil- | lages and Is sounded by the school bells which are daily calling the young to liv- | ing fountains of wisdom to prepare their minds for the glorious work of the 1 future.

 Health Is Excellent.
 The health of Epes and of the sur rounding country is excellent. The de- lghtful breezes which .blow over the vast fields unbroken by trees or foliage modify the rays of the summer suns and the many artesian wells in town, village and on plantations afford health-giving
 waters By the way l am told that these wells are bored through cement rock from 300 to 1000 feet below the sur- face. and from the subteranean streams | the water at some of these wells flows for fifteen feet above the surface a four inch stream So if the great bed of the
 Tombigbee claims even all of the water | that flows from above there is plenty | beneath and it is easily available. | Speaking of this cement rock at Epes, 1t | is here in quantity sufficient to do all l the construction work of the great inter-
 oceanic canal; to supply the markets of 1 this country for centuries to come and to | furnish the markets or the Tar east that shall so soon be opened up to American
 resources and American energy These
 rock cliffs at Epes, which stand mag nihcently so feet above low water on l the Tombigbee are but the out-cropping | of deposits of cement covering an area | of 10000 acres. and running down to a | depth of zoo feet. What an opportunity
 for the establishment of a great cement plant Is this presented here at the little | town of Epes. Sure 1t is that this will be done, and at no distant oay.
