VALUABLE HISTORY.

a valuable addition to our Ii
brary is the late complement from
the State Department of Archives
and History, BY Dunbar Rowland,
Director. The Mississippi, Off
cial and Statistical, Register ded-
icated to the members of the Sem
ate and House Of Representatives
sof the State Of Mississippi, ses-
sions of 1904-1906, bears on its
face its value to the patriotic citi-
zen and student of history. The
State flag, the State Flower, Mis-
sissippi's Coat Of Arms and cot
ton plant done in natural coIors,
together with pictures Of the Cap
itol, Of the legislators and StaGe
officers, add to the attractiyeness
and pictorial value Of the volume.
The Register is divided into
FIVE parts, as to contents: Part [
contains the evolution of the or
ganic laws of Mississippi, lists of
all constitutional conventions of
] the State; Part III contains histo-
ry, lists of territorial and State
officials, resources and growth of
| the Stale; Part III gives sketches
of State institutions and statistical
information Of all kinds; Part w
contains sketches of State officials,

Prof. j.. 1. Brueck made an in-

ROGUE cHITT0 NOTES.


| What a fine opportunity fol
! taking q pop at creation and wind
| ing mp on the weatherl
We hear of q few farmers who
say they will die and 60 to hades
before they will pay % cents TO
belong TO the Cotton Growers
Association, forgetting that many
of us were sent to the great con-
vention in New Orleans at our
own expenses, where measures
were adopted which have already
enhanced the price Of their cotton
from six to seven dollars per bale.
Some people raise mighty queer
children.
La grippe grippe; grippe Ia
grippe. When you blow it, it
won't stay blowed, as it we're.
During the recent rainy spell,
Bogue Chitto river at this point
was impossible for nine days.
Booth Lowrey lectured to a fine
audience here in the public school
building on last Saturday night.
1t was a side-splitter.
Hon. J.. =. Byrd delivered a
fine Sunday School lecture at Mt.
Moriah church last Sunday and
following the lecture Sunday
School was organized with Rev.
W. Z. Jordan superintendent. On
next Sunday the church will meet,
when we hope to be present and
assist in the PERFECTION Of the or
ganization and perhaps will preach
little sermon. Let the entire
church meet and take part in this
noble work.
We want to be present at the
school entertainment at Pleasant
Hill next Friday afternoon.
1t was reported and commonly
believed that our town liar froze
to death during the hard cold
spell, but since the weather has
moderated bit he has sailed
forth, giving us whopper. He
says that he cut off a pigs tail
and grated it into Ben Davis
apple scion and he now has a tree
from which be gathers fine clus-
ters Of sausage and fried ham.
DR.. Hewitt has erected 4 cosy
Office along side the Lee q Busby
store house.
Our road contractors have done
heroic work in clearing their
roads Of fallen timbers.
During the extreme high water
our neighbor Fount Kyzal built
him a boat by which means we
were able to get our mail twice
during the siege.
For ten days past, we have been
shut in assisting to nurse our lit
tie motherless three year old
grand baby girl. AT one time she
was near the point of death, but
we are pleased to note that by the
skill Of DIR. Hewitt and close at
tention, she is now convalescent.
"This corpse joined the Baptist
church nine years ago. is what
an old lay brother said at the open
grave Of one Of his brethren. We
think we know of some dead
church members whose graves
have never been dug. j. As.
