A New Invention

DR.. Geo. T. Hill has on exhibit
ton in the courthouse yard a
number Of concrete building
blocks which have attracted wide
attention and brought forth words
of approval from every one who
has seen them. The blocks are
made of sand and cement and
nodded in a machine Of the Doc
tors invention which turns them
out in very attractive shapes.
For building purposes these
blocks will evidently very soon
attract wide attention and will
take the place of lumber and brick
which are growing in price so
rapidly that it will not be agreat
while until something else will
have to be substituted. The new
material which DR.. Hill offers is
far superior to brick from the
fact that they can be put up
cheaper and are almost indestruc-
table. In the great Baltimore
fire the only house that stood the
conflagration was a house made
of similar material and stands to-
day.

future generations as a souvenir

Fire-alarm Foraker in the Unit d
States senate is one of the graft
flying results of the victory. n
Philadelphia Mayor Weaver is
again elected by very handsome
majority as a result of the great
fight he made against the gang
who have ruled and ruined the
city. His election after the Bit
ter fight made on him is a great
for reform in municipal
politics. The election Of the re-
candidate for governor
Of Massachusetts was not une1-
pected; Governor Douglas, the
most popular democrat in the
state, declined the nomination
for a second term and the state
goes back to the republicans afte
one year in the hands of tt
democracy. AS has been said be-
fore we gain democratic victories

The TupeIo Fertilizer Factory

The Tupelo Fertilizer Factory
is now making all arrangements
necessary to place onthe market
the large output Of the factory
which will be of the highest
grade of commercial fertilizer
ever sold in this market. The
soil and crops of this section have
been studied with the view of
getting the best results and the
factory has spared no pains or
expense to perfect their formula.
The experience gained during
the few years that commercial
fertilizers have been used to IN
crease the cotton crop on worn
lands furnishes a lesson which
has been of inestimable value to
the small farmer who makes
his crops with his own hands and
must therefore get the best re-
suits from his labor. We have
I'M mind one farmer who bought
land near a good town for the
low price of $500 per acre and
began a system of working and
fertilizing that soon brought the
land up to make from three quar-
tiers to a bale per acre, influenced
of course by the season. Others
have adopted the same system of
working and fertilizing with the
most gratifying and profitable
results. The demand has grown
after a few years to such an
extent that the few factories in
the business have been unable
to supply the demand and the
factory at this place will afford
our people an opportunity of get
ting good of the first quality
right at home. Every farmer in
Lee county who has worn lands
that he works should not think
of trying to make another crop
without trying to increase the
yield by using commercial fer
tilizers.

The latest on the senatorial sit

candidates in the senate and Sea-
ator McLaurin on the supreme
bench of the state. Rumor has
it that there will soon be a res :

that Senator McLaurin will We
appointed to fill the vacancy;
that John Sharp Williams will be
elected by the legislature to su@-
coed Mr.. McLaurin and that
Governor Vardaman will then
have a clear field. The origin 3
tor of this rumor did not ta6e
time to consider several thin 5
that those most vitality interested
would take into consideration f
the vacancies should occur. IN
the first place Senator McLaul n
would not accept a seat on TIE
supreme bench. He has eight
more years to serve in the sena5e
on the terms he has already been
chosen for and would not e&-
change his eight years in the sen
ate for a piece of a term on tie
supreme bench. Again, should
there be a vacancy in the senaGe
Governor Vardaman would most
likely be a candidate before tie
legislature, accepting the first
opportunity to make a fight for
the coveted seat. There is nc
likelihood of a vacancy on the
supreme bench and the gentle
men mentioned viii not enter IN
to a bargain that would rob the
people of an opportunity to have
a say in a matter of such interest
