CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.

twas a gracious and connnnendabIe act in
the board Of supervisors Of Rankin county to
Inappropriate the sum of two thousand dollars
Ito a monument to the Confederate soldiers,
who went out from this county, There were
twelve or fifteen companies, first and last,
which went to the front in those Fdark days Of
WAR There is today scarcely family in the
county who was not represented in this mag
inificent soIdiery. They were led by such men
wv. B. Shelby, William II. Clarke, w. B. Easter
ling, F. S. Layton, JOS. NJ. Jayne, and other
|gallant officers, who did their duty and were
worthy Of the good men who followed them
Almost every county in the state is building a
monument to their soldiers, and we are glad
that Rankin is not behind in this good work
We learn, that by reason of the increased
valuation in property on the assessnnentro
that the sum can be paid without any ad-
|ditiona1 levy. If a levy was required to raise
the amount appropriated for the monument, It
would take less than 2-5 Of a mill on the pres
ent assessment, or less than 30 cents on the
thousand dollars. Every good citizen will be
grateful to the board for rising to the dignity OF
the occasion by putting themselves on record

kin county. We trust it may result in a a.nnonu-

The Man Who
Got a Pass
By CHARLES BATTElL LOOMS

Eyes. sir, I'm going to Chicago on
business" said Binkersley to subur-
banite who had stopped in to buy pair
Of gloves. tits quite an expense, but
my wife thinks I'll get it back in health.
Chicago is quite bustling city. SO I've
always heard, and may get ideas for
my business. Castor gloves? No, we're
all out of those just now. How would
you go to Chicago? What train?"
why, there are half dozen ways"
said the suburbanite, who was trav-
cling man. why don't you get a pass?"
ME get pass?" said the little store
keeper. mo, sir. I've always paid my
way"
That's all right" said the travelling
man; "but you know these railroad cor
porations are soulless affairs. and If you
can get pass, I'd do it."
/ Well. how do you do itP Don't you
have to be rich?"
The suburbanite was something of a
practical joker and he saw that Binkers-
ley was already inoculated with "pass
fever" SO he said:
rich? No. Itall depends on the way
It's done. Let me concoct letter for
you. The general passenger agent of
the eight-track road is jolly fellow,
and If you hit him right he may pass
you all the way to Chicago, and then
you can do him good turn by crying
up the road whenever you sell a pair
of socks. See?"
why, certainly" said the tradesman,
quite delighted with the prospect. "Ill
advertise his road, and may be worth a
great deal to'him before get through"
That's the idea exactly. You let me
write the letter and then you copy it."
SO the waggish customer sat down to
: his desk and wrote as follows:
Mr. J. g. Gregory.-Dear Sir: am near.
~ 80 and have never let man pay my
fare even on a street car Now I'm going
to Chicago. Do you think will let you
send me pass? II you do, Just try 1t
and see what / will do with it. You will
find my address on the heading, and any
time you want socks or gentleman's fur
nishings, drop in. Be quite sure that even
II you did send me pass would never
j. say thing about you road, as think all
, roads are monopolies. Yours,
JOSEPH BINKERsLEY.
''Therem said the customer when he
read what he had written, Gregory will
either think you're a crank or a very
clever man. lift hits him all right you'll
get pass, and I'll have saved you $780,"
Say, this is awfully nice of you, said
Binkersley. "Have dress shirt?"
Thanks, but only wanted to buy .

You don't understand me. I want

I'll save at least $40, and like to feel
Independent. Take shirt along
"Oh, you want me to have shirton
you"
mo, on yourself, said Binkersley, to
whom humor is an unknown quantity.
The suburbanite allowed himself to
be ''blown of" to an open front dress
shirt and pair Of patent cuff clips, and
then he departed, smiling inwardly.
After the customer had gone Binkers-
ley copied the letter in his own hand
and mailed It.
Next morning, In Binkersley's mail
was q letter from the general passenger
agent. It was short but in the same
vein as that which Binkersley had sent.
