a. Biz land sale ii IaMrence.


Mr.. George w. Carlisle, real
estate agent Of this city. reports
another great sale of pine lands,
/ this time iii Lawrence county.
Twenty-Five years ago when Mr..
Carlisle, who il q native Of Law
renee county, left his native heath
and came to make his home in the
capital city, he was familiar with
every foot of this land, a tract
containing 4,s00 acres. He had
hunted squirrels, chased rabbits
and 'treedD 'possums and coons
there for years, he had wandered
over it as freckfed faced, bare.
| foot boy, but never dreamed that
1T was worth the money il would
take to pay the taxes on it, and
knows that he could have bought
it for one dollar an acre if he
had had the dollar and wanted the
land.
In course Of time these lands
passed into the hands Of Mr..
James NJ. Burch, of Dubuque,
Iowa, and by him we're held for
several years. Just what he paid
for them is not known, but it is
not supposed that it was much.
The purchase price for the 4, 500
acres was an even SIC, 900, and
the Fernwood Lumber Company,
now in the hands Of the Goodyear
syndicate, is the new owner.
The amount per acre is about
$l4. 50as good price as has yet
been recorded for pine lands il
the State of Mississippi, but there
lis every reason to believe that in
the course Of ten or fifteen more
years the value and the price will
have doubled again Clarion

4 NOBLE SPIRIT.
Grand Master Menger DnseIlishIy De-
eIInes IIonOrs lor the Good
Of the Order.

Warren Lodge, /. @. q. f held
a most enthusiastic and ronsing
meeting last night with a full at
tendance.
The most notable feature of the
evening was the statement Of Mr..
Will Davidson III regard to tile
noble and unseIfisIl conduct Of re-
tiring Grand Master w g. Mem
ger. BY universal custom of the
Mississippi Grand Lodge the re-
.tiring Grand Master is always
elected as representative to the
Sovereign Grand Lodge, and sew
eral past Grand Masters were on
the qui viye to nominate the Hon.
wv. @. Menger for that position,
and the Grand Lodge stood ready,
willing and anxious to make this
election unanimous, as Brother
Menger had made the best show
ing of any Grand Master who had
ever filed that position, but be-
fore any of the orators could seize
the chance to make the nominal
ing speech, Brother Menger retir
ed from the chair to the floor,
secured recognition, and placed
ex-A Attorney General Monroe Me-
|Clurg in nomination for that
office.
Brother Menger did this, not
because he did not coyet the ex-
ceeding high honor Of going to
the Sovereign Grand Lodge, but
because be thought that Mr.. Nc
Clurg, if elected, might by his
undoubted ability rise to the
highest Office in that body, and
thus Mississippi would some day
be honored by furnishing a Grand
Sire to the order. lie thus sacri-
feed his own ambition and pleas
ure to the greater pleasure and
loftier ambition of promoting the
welfare of the order of the State.
This is the first time in more.
than fifty years of the Grand
Lodges existence that such unset
fshness was ever displayed, and
Warren Lodge felt a thrill of
pride at being able to give to Odd
Fellowship not only the most eff
clent Grand Master the State has
ever known, but also one whose
lodge patriotism stands without
parallel in the history Of Missis-
lsippi.
The next meeting of the Grand
Lodge will be held in hustling
Hattiesburg, and the members
look forward to grand time in
the Queen City of Lumber and

II is NOT nrobable that the Sin

It is not probable that the Su.
preme Court will be able to adj
iourn for its summer vacation un-
til some time in July. The April
term for the Southern District
will consume about six OF. seven
weeks, after which court will be
ready to adjourn. 1t is probable
that Judge Calhoun will not re-
sumo his place on the bench until
court meets in November. His
