ton OF the law in regard to exchang-
es. The contract signed by the pub
fishers and the state limits I've time Of
exchange of old books for new ones
to twelve months from the date Of

as they advance from grade to grade
No request for an Interpretation OF
the contract has been made, but it is
probable that the matter will be re-
ferred to the governor and by him to
the encouragement.

French Colony.

Near Tomnolan, and about twenty
miles east Of Winona on the Southern
is the small French colony that is
opening the eyes Of the natives OF
that section to the real possibilities
Of their soil and resources. In an in
creditbly short time, they have pos.
sessed and brought into cultivation a
large tract of land and in the mean
while have operated a mill industry
They purchased their goodly acres ir
the virgin form almost at song, and
by skill and industry have raised The
value several dollars per acre. Ever
were they to so abridge their labors
now, and go back to the old country
they would take back no inconsider
ate amount of profit on their invest
ment.

Want the Next Meeting.

An effort will be MADE to capture
the next annual convention of the
United Daughters Of the Confederaey
for this state, and strong delegation
will be sent to the annual gathering
in San Francisco in October for the
purpose of urging Gulfport, the me-
tropolis of the gulf coast. The gen.
eral organization Of the United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy has never
held its annual session in Mississippi,
although this state is one Of the
strongholds Of the body, and it is
believed that the invitation to be ten
dered at the October session in San
Francisco will be accepted by an al
most unanimous vote.

At meeting of the Masons of Me-
ridian and vicinity called together en-
masse, the matter Of the location of
the Masonic Widows and Orphans
Home was thoroughly discussed, and
the effort set in motion to have the

enthusiastic over the proposition:
and feel much encouraged over the
outlook and the manner in which the
Meridian people have responded to
the endeavor to secure the location of
the structure in this city.

HAPPENINGS
IN MISSISSIPPI
TTE-Io OF INTEREST FROM ALL
SECTIONS.
An EPiTCME OF TIE NEWS
Culled From the Important Happen
lngs Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed in
Brief.
Values Two Miles at $4,000.

According to the verdict Of jury
Of eminent domain rendered at Val
ley Park, Issaquena county, in con-
nection with right Of way condemna
ton proceedings, delta lands are &C
curing fabulous valuation. The pro-
ceedings were brought in order to en-
able the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
Railroad to obtain right Of way
through the lands Of w. W. Mangum
and H. B. Alden for the Valley Park,
Silver City extension. These parties
it was understood had tentatively
agreed to give the right of way at
nominal value figures, but when the
operations began they receded and
declined to meet the railway promot-
ers. 1t was then that the jury Of en-
inent domain was invoked. The
award by the jury on Aden's land for
ive-sixths Of mile, or about ten
acres was $7,250 or 1925 an acre. The
same body awarded Mangum $2650
for sixteen acres, five Of which are
timbered-or nearly $4,000 for two
miles of right Of way. The proceed
ings were held before Magistrate /.
Lucas, Of Filters, with Hon. Murray
F. Smith representing the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad and McLaurin & ARMS
ted the defendant land owners. At
present it is difficult to say what will
be the outcome, or whether the rail
way company will accept the verdict.
It will have the effect of delaying
construction Of this important tap
line for some time longer than was
anticipated however.

Boil Weevil Reported.

M. B. Valentine, William Strick-
land and Archie Valentine, prominent
farmers Of Myrick, report that an in
sect similar to the boil weevil has at
tackled the cotton crop in their Sec
ton. A number of the insects have
been sent away to determine whether
they are the dreaded boil weevil or
not. This is the first appearance Of
the boil weevil in this section, and
means the abandonment Of the chief
money crop Of the farmers if the in
sects prove to be the weevil.

al Educational Association of this city
has requested the National Education
al Association, which meets at As
bury Park, N. j. next week, to use its
influence toward securing legislation
FOR public schools ON United States

President Roosevelt is said to be
preparing letter to a personal friend
indorsing Secretary Taft as the logi-
cal candidate for the presidency.
This, it is asserted, will be the way
that the president will show the other
prominent politicians within the Re-
publican ranks what he thinks Of their
aspirations. Every act Of the Pres
ident within the past two months has
tended toward such a announcement.
1t is understood that the letter will be
addressed to Elihu Root, who, Of
course will make it public. 1t will be
issued while Taft IS away in the Phil
ippines, SO he may be spared the trou-
bic of denying that he has his eyes up
on the White House.

Further developments in the Pana-
ma Canal situation have created the
view in Washington that a grave cris-

the commission. The resignation of
Chief Engineer Wallace has fairly
paralyzed the commission, and until
Secretary Taft returns to Washing

on the big ditch will remain in their

Of Secretary Taft and was promptly
accepted by the president, to take eff

IN FANCY'S FLIGHT

As l sit tonight by the warm freight And dream, and dream. and dream, l can easily trace your beloved face In the embers' steady gleam; And my fancy flies to the warm blue
 skies
 And the land of the golden sun And scenes we ranged An, is it
 strange Two hearts merged into one? I'm living anew the time when you And l did merrly ride One Navajo and a wild bronco Ger the desert reaches wide And the days are bright and the love-
 stars light
 The night, and the mountains gleam In distant blue and rock-red hue, As l dream, and dream, and dream. The hours fit by and the cold winds
 sigh,
 And the lonesome winter rain Beats a weird tattoo as I wend with
 you
 Our Phoenician ways again. By the vine-swept door we part once
 more,
 And your warm, sweet lips doth
 seem Aroused, I start. Oh, my lonely heart Cries out for the real, not the
 dream!

Barnett denied his admission of Fri day-night that he was wanted in Texas, intinating that he had only been bluff ing the officer, but it was evident that McClain had coached him during the night. The men are known to a resi- dent of Phoenix who got acquainted with them in Texas and they intimated Saturday that they thought he could be interested in their welfare and per haps try to get them out of their diff culty but this man declined with thanks and as the fugitives are en- tirely without means and unqueStiOn- ably the men wanted, they would have difficulty in interesting any local attor- ney in habeas corpus proceedings, even if they had ground to base such action upon.

THE ART OF EATING PROPERLY.

Pawlow has lately established the physiological importance of the men tai state on digestion, having shown. fer instance, that delicacies produce secretion of gastric juice as soon as they are perceived by the eye. even be- fore they are eaten.
 The food must not only be palatable, but must be served in an attractive manner Cine dishes, table decorations, etc).
 In eating we must take time to chew Cllr food tn roughly. This serves a doub,e purpose: CD Through the act of mastication the cOarser particles Of food are broken up; CD more saliva is secreted and is thoroughly mixed with the food. The digestion of starch is thus materially aided. and the proteids are made more easily accessible to the action of the gastric juice.
 Water should accompany each meal. it increases the appetite and the en- joyment of fo-d.
 After eating we should rest a little while before returning to our work Medical Record.
