Letter Was Not Answered.

Meridian, November 2-(Special.) )-Con- siderable surprise Is being exhibited that Postmaster Hyde has neglected or refused to reply to the courteous note of com plaint mailed on October IF by President A. H. George, at the direction of the Board of Trade and cotton exchange. The complaint hinged on the alleged fact that the mails arriving at night were not distributed until o'clock and after the following morning, causing considera ble delay and inconvenience to the merchants and business men. It is stated, however, that there has been some slight improve ment in the manner of handling the mails since the letter was written

"I am told" saad visitor from the north, that Birmingham put on holiday attire on the occasion of the President visit to this city.
 Merchants and private citizens expeno- ed large sums for decorations in honor of the nations chief, and the city pre- scented a truly beautiful appearance. Now my point is that this same outward demonstration of our patriotism and loy- atty to the country should be made on each Fourth of July.
 While I have no doubt that in sentl- ment no other southern city is more loyal to the United States or holds more re- gard for the celebration of lndepenoence day than does Birmingham. but this out ward manifestation of that sentiment mas been lacking to degree. Every store Ill Birmingham should be freely decorated III the national colors when July comes round"

and southern people differ essentially in their tastes and temperaments.
 MT. Maxwell is, as everyone knows, the manager of the Cordova cotton mills. He is down east Yankee, born and bred in Maine and it might be thought that he had some of the characteristics that are popularly associated with the bar gain-driving Brother Jonathan of the six New England states and that he is de- void of the touch of human nature that makes the whole world kin.
 .The exact contrary is true. A more successful mill man, perhaps, is not to be found in the south or New England than MT. Maxwell His vocation is the mill business. He knows it from bottom to top and when he is in it, it gets all there is in him. But, like the typical southern man. he Is exceedingly fond of horses. I think next to his family there is nothing under the sun that is dearer to his heart than his beautiful horse. Judge Senn, that took the blue ribbon at the horse show here. MT. Maxwell is perfectly devoted to that animal and when Judge Senn' took sick the last days u tlt Adtt MI. N1aAWtll duAlSly was touching to see. He was as keenly solic- itous of that horses welfare as he would have been of one of his dearest friends. l made up my mind as I noticed it that President Roosevelt was right when he said the people of all sections of our country were essentially alike, and that they differed only in unimportant details. By the way, I like a man who likes a beautiful horse, and I don't care much for one who doesn't''

. PATHETIC little story comes from

N PATHETIC little story comes from WY Omaha. An old mother pined
 away and died after waiting eight years for her missing boy. The lad went away to make his fortune but did not return The mother waited patiently, day after day, for her son who had been swallowed up in the great, wide world. Every night she kept lamp burning In the window of her humble home to light the wanderers returning footsteps, often spending her last penny to buy oil and going to bed hungry The boy did not come back and now his mother is dead. Let us hope that he did not forget her; it were better far to learn that he died in search of the golden prize which first tempted him away from home. Incidents like this make up life. In smiles and tears, in sunshine and shadows, humanity wends it's way to the grave.

 Poor old Jones Is dead and buried; True, he walked in humble shoes, But he will be long reuembered For the way he tackled booze. A woman was staggering down the street yesterday afternoon with a large dog in her arms. She was neatly gowned and evidently a person of some refine- ment, but an inspection of the canine failed to show any traces of aristdcracy. His most striking characteristic was a look of profound peace and contentment. If the dog was sick or injured--well and good-but If not, some one should have spoken to the woman in a friendly way. She looked ridiculous.
