several years has been consulted by

Mississippi, has requested on account
of i'll health and the pressure OF per-

We are unable to say whether this
indicates change in the policy OF

they will not progress in building up a
decent party in the south.

A MISTAKE.

Judge j. r. Enochs has recently
rendered his resignation as circui
judge of the 9Th judicial district, and
the successor will be appointed short
ly. Judge Enochs is one of our best
men to have sat Oh the bench as cir
cult judge in Mississippi for many
years, and was for long time in this
district. His resignation occasions
much regret. Eye.
This will be a surprise to Judge
Enochs' friends here, for it was
thought that Gov. Vardaman would
not let such good, capable, honest
and excellent judge get away from
him, for the people may have to try
some inexperienced man who will not
measure up to Judge Enochs. -Mize
Outlook.
The Hattiesburg Eye is mistaken
Judge Enochs has not resigned, nor
does he intend to. His present term
expires year hence, and he is being
almost unanimously endorsed by
the bar for reappointment

so many hearts with anguish. as did the
subject of this slight tribute. We are al.
ways saddened by death-no matter where
we hear his heavy tread, be it in distant
cities, where daily he strikes hundreds to
the dust, or in our own community. when
he blOtS out our casual acquaintances.
But let US see him lay his blighting hand

one so young, so fair, and whose life was
so full of promise, it causes our hearts to

Jennye was only twenty-five years OF
age, an accomplished young lady of many
graees of both heart and mind; but she
needs no encomium, for those who knew
her best, understood, and appreciated
most, the sterling qualities of her charac-
ter. Her prospects for happiness, in the
life which had just begun to open before
her, were most flattering; but like the
rosebud that Wthereth and is cut down
by the chilling breath of frost, so her pure
young life was cut down by the reaper
Death.
To the bereaved family, words are all
empty, and meaningless, but may they
look to divine power for consolation.
May God comfort that loving father, and
sooth the anguish in the heart of that
fdear patient mother, who watched with
untiring devotion by the bedside of hel
darling; and may her sisters, and that
kind, noble hearted "brother" gather
from this sad aflction, the lesson she had
learned-ta trust In Jesus. She expressed
herself many times, during her illness, as
being prepared to answer the last sum.

left undone to prolong her stay among us
But despite the tender care of loved ones

Bill Nye said Several years ogo,

land is not worth d. -, the eli
mate is surely cheap at 500 Fer
acre. Bill was about right in his
conjecture. Why will people insist
on trying to live and keep comforta-
BILE in a climate where zero weather
is the rule, and dozen or SO below
common, when they can come to
Mississippi and enjoy life with half
the work necessary to make COM
Portable living? The best answer to
this query is, that they know SO little
about Mississippi. When the world

Mize Outlook: We failed to note
last week the decision of Chancellor
McCaskill in the Eustace Boykin writ
of habeas CORPUS trial at Raleigh.
With that decision Boykin was re-
manded to jail without bail. The
attorneys for the defense have ap-
pealed the cause to supreme court OF
the state. We look upon Chancellor
McCaskill as being one of the most
honest men in the state, and it the
supreme court over-rules his legal
decision, they will not over-rule his
conscientious and honest intentions to
do what is right for his country.

Some of the most magnificent pro- ductions of the season will be seen in Phoenix when Miss Ethel Tucker brings her select company of players to the Hardwick theater for one whole week, commencing Monday, December 4. Some of the plays have been seen; others have not. Those you have not seen will be equally as good as those you have seen. Ethel Tucker will be remembered by thousands of theater- goers of Phoenix as the little lady who made such a long and successful run at the park last summer, something that has never been known in the his tory of the show business in Phoenix. All her plays are new and we'll up to date, and the very newest of special ties which are given between acts and changed every performance, and when one considers the price one mas to pay to see her in different plays it is a very easy matter to see her every night.

fees at that point he says there is very little of a public nature to speak of further than that the work he found was carried on in first class manner.
 The principal industry of the section, that of mining, he says has built the county up very rapidly in the past few years. Much of what was formerly called "the lap-over land" is now being prospected from one end to the other and several strikes have been made that are attracting great deal of at tention. Besides these the larger pro- perties are all working large forces and a general air of prosperity per vades the atmosphere of Kingman.
 It was Mr. Fosters pleasure to meet on the trip he has just concluded Col. H. G. Heffron who makes his head quarters at Acme in Mohave county and who in past months has been the general manager and the engineer in charge at the camp of the Gold Road mine. At present however, Col. Heff ron is carrying on some field work for the company that owns the Gold Road.
 According to Mir. Foster and based on statements he heard officers of the company make, the Gold Road com pany has encountered the richest body of ore ever found in the wonderful pro- perty, at the 800 foot level. Eight feet of ore averages more than $100 to the ton and the drift has not yet cut through the vein. Drifts are being run off in this ore and a station was cut out. MT. Foster said the company thinks the ore on the 600 foot level will exceed in richness that on the 800 foot level as at the shaft above. the ore was not nearly so rich. The improvements in the ore values are noticed with the depth and the bodies are simply inn menSe.
 The Gold Road mine according to MT. Foster is certainly one of the big mines of the territory and will with de- velopment not be a surprise to him if it turns into one of the big mines of the west. Mir. Foster will remain in the city until after the Elks memorial next Sunday.
