Sunday to cut flowers for bouquet.
AS she left the steps from the door

rallied from the operation but it is
feared she may not recover.
There was very peculiar chicken
Matched out on Mitchell's place in
the west part Of town last week. 1t
was "a four legged fowl, every one of
the legs of perfectly normal size and
natural shape. There were four
wings and two bills but only one
head. The chicken was natural in
appearance aside from the double
number of legs, wings and bills. 1t
lived for three days after being
Matched and had commenced TO feather
out nicely. But for the two bills
it's chances of life woald have been
good, but these interfered with its
eating. All who saw it pronounced
it one of the greatest curiosities
they have ever seen. -Mail-Press.

surance companies in Mississippi for
the first six months Of the present year
contain a very peculiar feature.
The sum total of new premiums col
lected during the semi-annnal period
by the sixteen life companies operating
in the State was S3l2,S9l, as compared
with $342,2l2 for the same period, thus
showing a decrease of 1921. '%E
In spite of the scandals in which it
has been involved, the new premiums

The law contemplates that the Con.
federatc pension fund shall be dis
tributed as soon after Oct. as is prae-
ticable State Auditor Henry Is de-
termined to get the fund TO the various
counties as soon after that date as prac-
ticable, but in order to do so he must
receive reports from each of the county
boards, as there is no way of determin-
ing the amount each pensioner Is en-
titled to till the total number of pen
sioners are known.
Jacks0n, Miss, Sept. %, 1905,
Ny Dear Sir-While the law gives
you till October the first to get your
pension list to this department., write
to earnestly request that you forward it
as early as possible.
A majority of the lists are already in,
and have been compiled.
Owing TO the pressing needs OF the
vast majority of pensioners, and the
fact that it will be greatly to their ad-
vantage 10 receive their money before
cold weather sets in, desire to make
the distribution as early in October as
Is practicable.
The apportionment cannot be made,
and the percaptta determined, till every
list is received and there is great
deal OF work TO be done on them after
they arrive,
There will be no delay here, and !
trust and feel sure | shall have your
hearty cooperation in rendering this
necessary assistance, and thus insure
the prompt distribution of the fund.
Yours very truly,
H"" 7. II. HENRY, Auditor.
From the lists received it is thought
by the Auditor there will be an in
crease of from five to ten per cent in
the number of pensioners, which will
slightly decrease the amount received
by the prorate pensioners.
There were 7,2Tl pensioners OF all
classes on the list last year.

jackson is getting real anxious to
know what has become of the st. Paul
syndicate that came down last spring
and purchased several thousand acres
of land to the north Of the city and an
nounced that they were going to build
railroad up the valley Of the Pearl
and establish near Jaeksona Woodwork
ing plant the like of which the South
has never seen. The lands were pur-
chased with the understanding that
the owners could continue to occupy
hem for three months, by which time
work was to begin. Nothing has been
heard of the enterprise. in long time,
and Jackson is beginning to wonder
what is the matter. The lands went
for good prices and the sellers have no
protests to make, even should the rail-
road and the factories never be estab-
lished, but they are curious, Just the
same, to know what has become of the
venture.
The State prison population has lost
twenty-one during the past month. At
the close of business for the month OF
August there were l,l32 convicts on
the rolls. During the mouth of Sep
tember q were discharged as having
served out their time, one was pardoncd,
died and escaped. TO Offset the dis
charges there are generally number
Of new arrivls, but during the past
month there has not been one, the
travelling sergeant being barred in
every direction by quarantines, and be-
ing unable to travel about to the courts,
even should any have been held. How
ever, there have been three accessions
to the prison ranks, as three escapes
have been captured and returned.
Quite a collection of old papers per-
tanning to the Civil War and the arm
les which were located in and around
Columbus during the war were found
recently few miles from Columbus.
The papers were discovered in hollow
tree situated on the bank OF the Tom
bigbee river. and they appear TO be
part Of the record of the orders sent to
the different commanders of Confeder-
ate forces in that vicinity. While the
leaves are somewhat yellow with age,
they are capable Of being identified as
genuine and prove themselves to be
quite valuable.
The preliminary work OF making a
survey of the Tombigbee river with a
view to ascertaining the probable cost
OF dams, locks, etc, to make hestream
nayigable the year round, will be be-
gun at an early date. The necessary
appropriation for this work was made
at the last session of congress and the
work Was to have been finished this
summer, but on account of quarantine
restrictions delay was caused in the
,fectuation of the plans.
