The recent heavy rains have proven
blessing to one particular communi-
ty of interests in the state. The tim
Der men are taking advantage of the
rising streams to run out large guam
titles of logs that have been tied up
during several months of drouth. Mil
lions of feet are now on the way to the
mills. This means of transportation
is the cheapest in the world and it is
strange that more of our sawmill men
do not take advantage of it.

Stand by your home people. Resist
the Turing advertisements of the big
department stores of the north and
first ascertain what your home mer-
chant will do before sending the mon
ey away from home In nearly every
instance you will find that the home
man will do as we'll or better by you
than the other fellow. Then, you
stand some show. of handling the mon
ey again which you do not if it is
sent to Chicago or Philadelphia. Here
is a sensible suggestion from one of
the state papers that is worth perus-
ing: At this season of the year there
is always an influx of agents and ped
dlers selling everything from a gold
ring to sewing machine, and many
are the suckers that are caught by this
class of travelling fakirs. When you
want to buy anything of this kind,
go to your home merchant first and
see If you cannot obtain what is want
ed or have him order it for you. He
has a business reputation to sustain
and could not afford to give you
worthless trash as the travelling fakirs
do. These fellows will never be in the
country again, and just so the article
they sell lasts until they get out of
the community, they are satisfied. 1t
pays to trade with the home man ev-
cry time -

The writer has friend who several
years since invested several thousand
dollars in Texas lands in preference
to those of his home state. In CONVEX
sation not long ago this gentleman
stated that had he invested this mon
ey in any part of Mississippi the in
crease in value would have doubled
that of the Texas lands, and in many
portions of Mississippi more than dou-
bled. This is act that cannot be de-
MED. No state in the union can point
10 greater strides than our, all things
being taken into consideration. Peo-
pie make no mistake in buying our
lands. In every section, while heal
thy increase has been shown, still
there is more to come. There is not
possibly an acre of land in the state
that in five years will not be worth
Double what it is at present, and in
the greatest number of cases, more
than double.

In substantiation of the writer S
oft-repeated statements that hogs will
pay in Mississippi the following record
of big ones killed at Mathiston is pro-
duced: "Prof. A. Graves slaughtered
a Berkshire SOW two years old that
weighed GA pounds. On account of
the size and smallness of his steel
yards he had to cut the hog into
pieces to be weighed and the different
pieces tipped the beam as follows
Head, 40; backbone, II; leaf fat, 65;
l ham, so; l shoulder, So; and l side,
96 pounds. A. L. Holland of the same
place killed one that weighed sos
pounds and Joe Clegg one that weigh
ed as much" This is a pretty good
record for large hogs and if there are
other communities in the state that
can beat it, we would like to hear
from them Mathiston is becoming
wide-awake and business place and
the hog record just given stamps the
farmers in that neighborhood as built
of the right material to make a
" Greater Mississippi" !" When they
can raise such slugs of pork as that.

Recent dispatches to the daily pa
pers go to prove that several of the
southern states are receiving much
attention at hands of investors from
the north. This is especinally true of
Alabama that has the aid Of a well
conducted immigration department,
but Mississippi is not without the
scope of this movement. All of the
railroads of the state maintain in.
dustrial and immigration departments
and are doing splendid work in plac-
ing our advantages before the people
of the colder states up north. A great
deal of land is being sold to thrifty
families that are seeking a milder eli.
mate and away from the crowded con-
ditions of many Of the eastern states
There is ample room here for several
times the population we now have, and
good people are wanted to help bring
our state into its own.

Louisville Murderer No Long
er in the Western
Asylum
GOT OUT SUNDAY NIGHT
From the Gallows to the
Asylum, From the Asylum
to Freedom

Geo. B. Warner, the noted Louis
vile prisoner, who was put in the
Western Asylum last June, escaped
Sunday night. He was convicted Of
the murder of Pulaski Leeds, but
the day before his execution was
adjudged insane and his sentence
committed and he was committed to
the asylum. He made an ideal pa
tent. Sunday night, after the night
watch had made his last round at
$3.50, he picked the lock on his door,
probably with a piece of wire, work
ed his way into the basement and
thence to freedom. The escape was
not discovered until yesterday
morning, as he carefully closed his
door and placed part of the clothes
of another patient where his clothes
were usually placed, to deceive the
watch.
Up to four o'clock yesterday moth
ing had been heard of him. DR..
Board is at Hardinsburg but Drs.
Bailey and Ferguson have notified
all surrounding towns of his escape
and have done all possible to appre-
bend him. Warner was supplied
with money and could easily have
caught a night train and been 200
miles away when the escape was
discovered.

NEGRO KILLS
HIS WIFE.
Claims That He Shot At
Another Man With
Her.
VERDICT OF MURDER.
Charlie Burrus in Jail Here
Charged With Bloody
Crime.

Charlie Burrus, colored, shot and
killed his wife Saturday night at
Pembroke and also shot negro man
by the name of Albert Moore in the
hip. Moore's wound is not serious.
Burrus was seen in Jail here yes
terday morning, but he refused to
say anything at all about the affair.
So far as we have been able to learn,
both Burrus and his wife were in
the employ of Mr.. Robert w. Down
er. of Pembroke. 1t is thought that
Burrus had become jealous and the
man who he imagined was sharing
his wife's affections was in the res
taurant Saturday night, when Bur
rus made his appearance and began
shooting at him. The negro he was
after escaped uninjured.
Marshal Joe Jackson arrested Bur-
rus and brought him here on a
freight train at ! o'clock and placed
him in jail to await a hearing before
Judge Fowler.
An inquest was held Sunday and
the following verdict was returned:
1--WE, the jury, summoned by Cor
oner James Allensworth, to inquire
into the cause of the death of Chas.
Burrus, who was killed at Pembroke,
Ky, Oct. 81, 1905, find from the
evidence that she came to her death
from the effects of pistol shot
wound (3S caibre) from the hands
of her husband, Chas. Burrus, eL-
teringlher right arm and passing
into her body. We further find
Chas. Burrus was not justifable in
said killing, and therefore charge
him with murder"
