Definition of a "Station.''

A German boy was employed on one
of the railroads of this county as stu
dent. One day he was called up for
an examination to show if he was quail
fed to fill the responsible position of
operator. !
One question propounded to him was
"What is a station?''
The following answer was promptly
given: "a station is town or vii

The kiIties' Band.

The Kilties' Band gave two
concerts at the Columbus Thea
tire last Monday afternoon and
evening, having appeared before
large audiences on both occa-
sions. The Kilties' Band is one
of the largest as we'll As one of
the most unique musical organi-
cations on the road. The musi-
clans all appear in the quaint
garb of the Scotch HighlanderS,
and the effect created is quite
novel While they appear in
Scotch costume and the mu Isle of
this nation forms a prominent
feature of their repertoire, the
com positions Of English and
American musicians as well as of
those of other countries finds
cons picuous place in their pro
grams. In response to request
from numerous local theatregers
the famous National air of Mex
leo. La Paloma, " was rendered
at the matinee Monday afternoon,
and was received with loud and
long continued applause.
The organization includes the
famous Clan tombstone Troupe
of Scotch Dancers. This troupe
is com posed of two ladies and
two gentlemen, and their dane
ing and bag pipe playing form
a pleasing feature of the concerts
which the Kilties give.
The Kilties Band is a Canadian
organization. with headquarters
at Belleville, Canada, and has
been IN existence many years.
The band has not only travelled
this country from cOsst to coast.
but has made several trans con
tinental tours. 1t has appeared
before the crown heads of Eu-
rope. and enjoys the distinction
of having twice been directed by
the King of England. Those
who heard their concerts were
delighted, and it is conceded by
all to be one Of the best musical
attractions that has ever visited

CAUSES ENTHUSIASM
People Elated Over Pros
pect of Connection With
Frisco System.

The people of Columbus are
much eiated over the announce
| ment that the Frisco System will
probably extend it's branch from
Aberdeen to Colum bus. The
announcement was printed IN
TIE DISPATCH of last Sunday.
aud was the subject of discussion
among business men throughout
the entire day Every one agrees
that the extension Of this road to
Colum bus would do much to ad
vance the com mercial interests
of the city, and every citizen is
anxious to see the road built.
Under present conditions Co
lum bus is compelled TO pay the
same freight rate on -four and
other staple products shipped
out of St. Louis as the little towns
and villages surrounding her, and
as long as this condition Of affairs
exists it IS impossible for our
meI chants to engage in the job
bing trade. Meridian, which is
nearly a hundred miles further
from St. Louis than C0lum bus,
enjoys a lower rate from that
city than We do. the reason being
that she has numerous railroads.
and what is known as a com
petitive rate" is ia effect. The
Il me is at hand when cities of the
South that expect to grow and
prosper must have factories and
mills, for the days when to be an
agricultural center meant pros
perity are gone. Crops are never
certain, and the price of cotton,
which is our chief agricultural
product. is controlled largely by
the money magnates of the + ast,
so that to obtain a perennial
prosperity we must not only
grow cotton, but manufacture
the cotton into cloth and the cloth
into garments This Colum bus
is doing on a small scale, and ia
order to increase our prosperity
we must increase the mum Der of
our factories; to do this we must
have lower freight rates, and to
secure lower freight rates we
must have better railroad
facilities.
There is 20 doubt of the fact
that the Frisco management is
seriously considering the advisa-
bility of extending it's Aberdeen
branch to Columbus, and the
only thing necessary to insure
the building of the road is the
proper encouragement on the
part of our citizens. There must,
however, be some one to push
the movement, and THE DIS
PATCH suggests that the Pro
greSSive Union take hold of the
scheme. There is no more pro
gressive man in Columbus nor in
Mississippi than Hon. Walter
Weaver, the president of this
organization, and if he and sew
eral of his associates and CO.
workers will put their shoulders
to the wheel the extension of the
Aberdeen branch is assured.

CARRIERS APPOINTED
For Rural Mail Routes to
be Established April
the Second.

Postmaster Wood has received
official notification from Wash
ington of the appointment of the
carriers and substitutes on the
two new rural mail routes which
are to be established in cOnnec
ton with this office on Monday,
April ?. Ga route No. ). which
will serve the people of the An
drew s Chapel and Barton S Ferry
neighborhoods, Mr.. Charles d.
Pollock has been appointed car
rier, with Mr.. w. O. Pollock as
substitute, and on route No. q.
which will serve the people living
on the west side of the river in
the Marshall's Gin and Garfield
Place neighbOrhoOds, Mr.. Geo
". MCCrary has been appointed
carrier, with Mr..T W McKellar
as substitute.
There are already eleven rural
free delivery routes in LOwndes
county, and when service on
these two routes is established
on the second Of April there will
be thirteen routes ia operation
within the borders Of the county,
six of them leading out Of Co
lumbus. The mum Der thirteen
is considered unlucky. and Rural
Mail Inspector Will Watson, who
makes his home in COlum bus and
has the interests of the people of
LoWndeS county always at heart,
has all eady reported favOrably on
another route, so that the nun Der
thirteen will not apply to the
routes in existence for a long
enough period to bring US any Ill
luck. The new route will cover
a section Of the county in the
Mayhem neighbOrhood, and will
lead out of that prosperous vii
lage. This route has already
been favOrably reported to the
at Washington, and
it is thought that service will be
ordered established at an early
date
When the two new routes lead
ing out of Columbus and the one
leading out of Mayhem are es-
tablished Lowndes county will,
as stated above, have fourteen
free delivery routes. These
routes will average ia length
twenty-five miles each, so that
there will be $50 miles of teri
tory in the county covered by the
rural mail service. On these
fourteen routes there will be an
average of at least 600 persons,
so that s, 400 people living in the
rural districts of the county will
have their mail delivered to them
once each day, and some of them
twice daily, as double daily ser
vice is maintained between this
city and Caledonia.
This is a splendid showing for
Lowndes county, and Congress
man Gambler, Postmaster Wood |
and Rural Mail Inspector Wat |
son are to be com plimented on
the efforts put forth by them to |
secure this service and on the |
signal success which has crown
ed these efforts.
