Harlan--s Stewart.

"Married.-In Scooba, Mississippi,
at the McCalebb House, the home Of
the bride, on the morning Of the 18th
of October, 1905, Rev. j. w. Moseley,
of Oklahoma, former pastor OF the
Presbyterian congregation of Scoo-
ba, officiating, Mrs. Mary Alice Stew
art, of Scooba, and Mr.. William
Hunter Harlan, of Harlan.
The bride is one of the most popu-
lar, admired and esteemed ladies of
this section and numbers her friends
by the legion; born, raised and lived
here all of her life, knew all and
was known by all for her amiability
and sterling qualities of Southern
womanhood. She was the popular
and efficient postmistress of the
Scooba office under the Cleveland,
Harrison and Cleveland end term
administrations, giving universal
satisfaction. She leaves a host CT
friends, whose most ardent wishes
encircle the hope for her a finished
life of congenial joy, prosperity and
happiness.
The groom is one of Noxube Coun-
ty's most successful business men,
prosperous in his management, a
gentleman of most excellent charac-
ter, refinement and influence. His
fine Judgment has been exemplified
he has chosen wisely when he
gained the hand and heart of so te-
fined a jewel, of Kemper's most
valuable daughters.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harlan left on the
northbound Mobile & Ohio Railroad
for their home, with many congrat-
ulations, good wishes and farewells,
amid showers Of rice, where a grand
reception awaits their ARRIVAL
The above istaken from the fluent
pen of the Commereial-Appcal's cor

Lee House i'm

About O'Clock Tuesday morning
fire was discovered in the northwest
second story room of the Lee House,
this place, one Of the oldest hostel
ries in East Mississippi, and in a
few hours nothing was left of the
structure but a mass of smoking en-
bers. When discovered, the fire had
gained such Roadway and was burn
ing so fiercely, that the most import
ant thing apparent to the guests of
the hotel was the salvation of them
selves and their valuables.
Probably the majority of the pop
ulation of the town gathered in the
vicinity of the fire, prepared to pre-
vent the spread of the flames to
other buildings. Fortunately, the
structure was comparatively isola-
ted, it was a calm, still night, and
there was no occasion for exertion
in this particular.
Mrs. f. L. Mccall, landlady of the
property and who occupied rooms
therein, was. of course, the heaviest
loser, with no insurance.; Mr.. and
Mrs. J. j. Richburg, the lessees, lost
furniture, etc, but we understand
carried some insurance; Miss Wilma
Lester and Messrs. Sharp and East
land, boarders, lost some clothing
and the latter about S35 On in monay
Our people sympathize deeply With
Mrs. Mccall, upon whom the loss
falls most heavily.
fife Lee House was built about
thirty-five years ago by Col. John
II. Mccall, and was named alter the
great Confederate ch~ieftain, Robert
e. Lee.
AS far as we have been able to
learn, no reasonable explanation has
been advanced for the condagration.

Hon. Patrick McCalebb.

Mr.. p. McCafebb, a prominent cit
izen of Scooha since the location OF
the town nearly fifty years ago, died
at his home at 5o'clock on the morn
ing of the 18th of October, 1905, after
a severe illness under skilled physi-
clans treatment to prolong life. The
end came peacefully, and his spirit
winged away like q gentle zephyr to
realms beyond shining planets, to
his eternal home in his Fathers
mansion, where He had prepared a
place for his coming.
In his last days and hours, when
the separation of soul and body and
the beautiful transformation was
finally consummated, his devoted
wife, dutiful daughters, a~ffectionate
grandchildren, tenderly loved sister,
relatives and friends were gathered
around his dying couch to witness
the dispensations and teachings of a
great, true and just God.
The deceased was born IN the State
of North Carolina on December the
18th, in the year 1918, and, would
have reached his 87th year in De-
cember-a full, ripe age of f~our-score
and seven. His father moved to
Mississippi when the deceased was
in his boyhood, and settled at Wa
halak as one of the pioneers OF this
country, and lived to see Wahalak
| build no to be one of the most -four
ishing towns in East mississippi
with schools, churches, commerce,
banks, filed with the best of citi-
zens, and a fine surrounding coun-
try. Here his father died in his
young manhood days.
After the Mobile 81 Ohio Railroad
was built, the town of Wahalak was
absorbed by Scooba, Macon, and
Gainesville, Ala, He then moved
to Scooba, one of it's first settlers,
and engaged in the mercantile bust
ness, in which pursuit he continued
until his death.
In 1860 he was married to Mrs. Is
! abelle Annie Stewart Cnee Adams).
In this union we're given two chill
dren-Nrs. (Rev.) j. G. Carothers,
of Grenada, Miss, and Mrs. John Z.
Howell, of Scooba, were the idolized
daughters of this home to his death.
Hewas a consistent memberof the
Presbyterian Church, had served as
Justice and peace-maker in his dis
trict, was honored in the official ca
pacity of Mayor of Scooba; served
in the civil war in the Confederate
service; was honest. just and congo
NAL in his dealings with his fellow
man.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. j. w. Moseley, Of
Oklahoma, his former pastor, IN the
PRESBYTERIAN Church; his remains
We're inferred in Scooba cemetery,
attended by a large concourse of
weeping relatives and sympathizing
friends, to rest until the awakening
reveille shall be sounded in the
great morn of the resurrection, when
the grave shall give up its dead, the
weary will be at rest, and the just
be made perfect. In respect to his
memory, in the last sad rites, every
business house of any form in Scooba
was closed to allow proprietors and
employees to attend his funeral and
burial services.

quire, than to do justly, love mercy

Coming Into Its Own.

The flow of vitalit-- into the eastern and
northern portions of ne city within the
past few months has been as encoura ging
as it is remarkable. AS the health of
tree is shown in the absence of dead
branches so the growth and prosperity
of a city Is to be judged by the lack of
dead spots rather than an abnormal de-
Velopment in any one direction. For this
reason all citizens of Birmingham should
rejoice that property north of First ave-
nue. is steadily approaching, and that
trade shows marked tendency to go in
that direction.
First and Second avenues above Twen-
tieth street have shown new and strong
life within the past twelve months, and
the indications are that a new retail trade
district of considerable proportions will
be speedily developed in the area between
Twenty-hrst and Twenty-fourth streets.
These remarks apply with especial force
to the block on First avenue between
Twenty first and Twenty streets
Geographically, it is an ideal place for
retail trade, The avenue is higher there
than 1t is between Twenty first and Twen-
tieth or Twentieth and Nineteenth. and

No man who has invested money in any

Tor that matter-is In any danger of los

reasonably sure of a good return. Money

Yield quicker and larger returns than

miles '7ill appreciate in the course of time.
There is no such thing as wildcat prop
erty around here. At the same time it is
pertinent to remark that people abroad
who contemplate investing in the Bir-

chases until they have been advised by

nation of property within this territory is
very rapid now. 1t has been demon
strated beyond a doubt that the appear
ance of one residence of the modern kind
Is the signal for the disappearance of the
shacks which surround it, That is to say,
squalor cannot stand against prosperity
The shack is no longer a paying invest
ment. "he rental has decreased to almost
rothfng. and that little is practically alb
sorbed by repairs.
Good sidewalks and paved streets have
made the shack move on. The wisdom Of
the city in making tho improvements
upon such an extended scale is now ap-
parently INDICATED. At any rate Bir-
mingham is growing larger and more at
tractive all the while
