FAVORABLE IMPRESSION.
From the Ocean Springs News /:

We publish in its proper place this
week the official announcement of the
candidacy of Hon. B. P. Harrison, OF
Greene county, for the Office of district
attorney for this, the second judicial
district, subject to the action of the
Democratic party. Mr.. Harrison visited
Ocean Springs last Friday for the first
time in the furtherance of his candidacy
and made a very fayorable impression
with all whom he met. He is bright
young lawyer of pleasing address, and
the newspapers of his home county
speak in very flattering terms of his
legal talent and general all-round good
qualities. 1t is apparent that, should
he be elected, he will measure up to the
requirements of this important Office.
In conversation with The News editor
Mr.. Harrison expressed himself as being
well pleased with his reception in Ocean
Springs. He is making a systematic
and aggressive campaign in all parts of
the district and feels confident he will
be returned the winner on election day.

Good For Ciermont City.

Articles of incorporation have been
filed for the organization of the Clef-

The incorporators are Geo. H. Com
bel, Henry L. Schneider, II. H. West,
O. E. Thompson, J. A. Broadus and z.
7. Champlin, and their principal office
will be located in Biloxi.
The capital stock of the company is
$4,000, of which $4,000 have already
been paid in, and the company, VIII ich
has purchased all the interest of the
Combel Brick and Tile Company of
Clermont City, will manufacture BRICK,
tile and other products of the earth.
The first meeting of the stockholders
was held Monday at the plant, and the
election of Geo. H. Combel, president;
Henry SCHNEIDER, vice-president; j. A.
Broadus, secretary; and z. T. Champ
lin, treasurer; was confirmed, as was
that of the board of directors.
The company has secured the SER
vices of J. r. Bise, of N ! Orleans, a
practical brick and tie man, as general
superintendent, and the manufacture of
bricks will begin at once.
The property which the new company
has acquired was formerly owned and
operated to limited extent by the Com
bel Brick and Tile Company, but the
corporation, which was organized under
the laws ~of louisiana, failed after a
short duration. 1t is said, however, that
the product was. first-class andszvery
much sought by New Orleans contrac-
tors.
The output of the plant will be about
10000 per day, but as soon as it is in
good operating shape the production
will be increased to 100000 bricks per

Twin Sisters and 0uIfport Business
Men United.

Long Beach, Miss, June 6.-Last
evening at $50 o'clock there was dou-
BILE wedding at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Kohler. when their twin
daughters, Miss Pearl and Miss Pearline
Kohler, were married. The bridegrooms
were E. Waldmeier and w. A. Davis,
both business men of Gulfport.
The girls have been inseparable all
their lives. They study the same books,
read the same periodicals. and, as it
were, think the same thoughts. They
dress alike and look alike, and, if apart,
few people could tell which one they
were talking to. They are genuine
Sunshine girls and always ready to lend
a hand to tighten the burden of those
in trouble. After the services supper
was served in the dining room, which,
like the parlor, was decorated in sum-
mer flowers. After the repast both cou-
Piles went to Gulfport to homes that
were ready for their occupancy.

A special from Natchez of the 9th
says: 1t is believed that gold in paying
quantities exists in Adams county.
Laborers engaged in working on the
right of way of the Mississippi Central
Railroad near here today took out Sec
ton of a hillside about 30x2O feet and
revealed millions of flakes of the pre-
cious metal. The dirt is heavily laden.
Specimens were conveyed to two jewel
ers and withstood the test of acids and
other methods. The gold is in leaf
form, and, instead of the usual quartz,
appears to be refined. An experienced
states that the dirt will pay
about $400 to the ton.

His Wife's Money.

Once upon time he married a woman
who had inherited $500 by grand
father. This was all she ever received,
but the man never got credit for his
efforts the rest Of his life. He built a
new store. "Dit it with his wife's
money!" the neighbors saids The home
was overhauled and enlarged. "His
wife's money did it, was the only COM
ment. The little measley $500 she in
herited was given the credit for every
thing he did during life, and when he
died and his widow put up monument
with his life insurance, "her money
paid for that" was said again. But
this is really what her money went for:
During her engagement she bought her
self a $3.50 piano and $3.50 diamond
ring and in a few weeks lost the ring.
There was always some regret that she
didn's lose the piano.-Ex.

Judge jeff Truly is opposed to foreign
immigration to the Delta. He wants
this section reserved for the sons ana
daughters of Mississippi, "for genera
tons yet unborn. In the meantime,
we suppose that he wants this country
to grow up in weeds and brambles, our
towns and cities to decay and ruin-and
all because of the fact that the negro
laborer is no longer a dependable farm
hand and sentiment forbids the employ
ment of foreigners. The fact is, Judge
Truly's effort at political horseplay is
nothing short of personal thrust at
another distinguished candidate for the
governorship who happens to favor the
employment of Italian labor on the
plantations of the Delta nwood
Enterprise.

An editor of an exchange says: We
passed house the other evening from
which emanated the inspiring strains of
music from a piano and the throat of a
charming young lady. The only words
the editor caught from the song was
something about cher mother. Pass
ing on and turning down a side street,
we saw through the kitchen window the
dear mother with her arms buried
almost to the elbow in a pan of dough,
the sweat streaming down her wrinkled
face and the hot range enveloping her.
She was singing "We'll Work Till
Jesus come"

The bill before the United States Con-
gress, introduced by Congressman Bow
ers, to pay Capt. J. T. Jones of Gulf
port $3.50 900 for the harbor at that place
was unanimously passed by the House
on Monday last. This is victory for
Capt. Jones, Congressman Bowers and
direct benefit for the entire coast, now
that the Government will assume con-
trol of the harbor, inviting other rail-
roads to enter the city of Gulfport. The
bill will undoubtedly pass the Senate.

The biggest fool shipment that ever
came to the Gulf Coast was dumped of
the express car here last week, being
nothing more nor less than big box of
catfish, weighing 500 pounds, shipped
by some one up in Canada, and having
$40 express charges thereon. The box
was consigned to Walker Fish and Oys-
ter Co., of this city, but Mr.. Walker de-
nies having ordered same and refused
to accept the shipment. The express
company was in "pickle" over what
to do with the fish, which were begin
ming to get strong, but finally got rid
of them by paying twenty-five cents to
a drayman to cart them away. What
ever induced toe Canadians to ship cat
fish clear to the Mexican Gulf coast.
where all kinds of fish are plentiful, is
beyond comprehension. At any rate,
the shippers lose the fish and ice there
on, and the various express companies
that handled them to Ocean Springs are
doubtless after them now for S4025 ex-
press charges.-Ocean Springs Progress.

They stated that from their examina-
tion OF the conduct of the affairs Of

had oyerdrawn his accounts at the hnnk
in Zion city, and that they had received
deposits when it was known that the
bank was in.olyent, that he had received
