Huntsville, January 12.-(Speclal)- )-The fact that the large corporations have not contributed any assistance in raising the subscription for the new Nashville and Huntsville railroad was reported to the chamber of commerce last night by Chairman T. w. Pratt, and that body was moved to the adoption of resolutions censuring the corporations for their lack of public spirit. The resolutions cite the fact that Huntsville has given large bo- nuses franchises, free water privileges, freedom from taxation and many other valuable concessions; that now a few thousand dollars is needed to secure a new railroad that will be of benefit alike to every business and industry and and the industries that have received such liberal treatment should contribute some thing. Chairman Pratt reported that $l0,- 900 remains to be secured for them to meet the railroad proposition

Jackson, Miss, January 12.-(Special)-A spirit of nberality seems to have siped and percolated through the veins of the members of the present legislature. This condition strikes the average man who has been associated with Mississippi legis- latures for the past twenty years very forcibly, and he cannot help contrasting the present with the past. Not only is this true of the larger appropriauons- those for educational institutions, common schools, Confederate veterans, eleemosy- naries, ete.-but in the smaller affairs
 In former years it was the case that each house had one clerk and an assist ant, and they were expected to do all the work They kept the journal of the pro- ceedings. enrolled the bills and did every thing that was necessary to be done, work ing generally far into the night to keep up with their routine labors. It is different now, stenographers and typewriters be- ing employed in each end of the capitol in such numbers as may be necessary, and the senate has ordered the purchase of a book typewriter, so that the journals may be typewritten every day. This saves a great deal of time and labor for the clerks, and makes the work better in every respect.
 One of the old-time senators remarked after the passage of the resolution to em- ploy stenographers that he would have liked to see such a resolution introduced in the legislature of about 1880 or 1890; that such a proposition would have caused a fainting spell all over the building. Those were the days when the public schools got about $5OO.0o0 per annum. the decrepit Confederate soldiers $90,0O0 per year,. and 1t was like pulling eye teeth to induce the solons to appropriate $100O0 to assist in the erection of the Confederate monument and no allowance for postage stamps; when one negro porter was em- ployed to sweep out, bring water make fires and run all the errands that were

needed during the day, but that day and penny-wise and pound-foolish generation has passed and gone from the state of Mississippi forever. The public schools now get s1,25O00O per year, the National Guard $750O. Confederate veterans S250,00O, the Vicksburg Military park wants S100, 900 and will perhaps get it; and an army of porters are employed about the capitol from one years end to another. These are but straws which show which way the wind blows, and yet they point moral to the effect that liberality begets liber- ality which rebounds to the best interests of the state or the community. Since mak- ing this change from pessimism to optim- ism the state of Mississippi has taken a front seat among the states of the nation and is growing and prospering as never before,

The Spirit of Winter is with us, making It's presence known in many different ways--sometimes by cheery sunshine and glistening snows. and sometimes by driv- ing winds and blinding storms. To many people it seems to take a delight in mak- ing bad things worse, for rheumatism twists harder. twinges sharper. catarrh becomes more annoying, and the many symptoms of scrofula are developed and aggravated.
