MATRIMONIAL MARKET
PICKING UP AGAIN

Deputy Clerk Chambers, of the cir
cult clerks office, says the matri-
monial market is showing signs of
life. now that the fall has opened, and
he is borne out in his statement by the
facts in the case, for nearly every day
a license is issued, whereas a month
ago IT was rare thing for him to is
sue one.
Yesterday was bad day, but there
was one application for a license and
a peculiar fact about it was that the
parties do not live in this county, but
the parties will marry just the same.
The license issued yesterday au-
thorized the marriage of Ed Compton
and Mrs. Emma Atkins. both of Lamar
County.

The following interesting sketch of
the growth of Trinity Mission as the
Episcopal church here is called, has
been kindly furnished by the rector,
Rev. Geo. s, Gibbs, and will be read
with pardonable pride by all who are
connected Herewith specially, and by
everybody in Hattiesburg generally.
This is the third anniversary Of the
organization of the church here and
the article comes at most appropri-
ate time.
The following is the article as
furnished by Rev, Gibbs
On the third Anniversary of our
ministry, let us survey the work that
the people have done.
When we entered upon our work,
the mission was credited with fifty
four Communicate The list now
numbers one hundred, but there has
been steady loss each year of TWEEN
ty-five per cent. of the membership,
which is always the case in new
and rapidly growing town.
There pave been eighteen baptisms
and overweight confirmed.

for her.
1t has been suggested that this mat
ter be mentioned again, that the kind
ly and charitably disposed who have
not already contributed something to
this worthy cause may have an OPP
portunity to do SO, and any funds
sent to the Daily News or to Captain
McAfee of the Salvation Army, will
be properly used for the benefit of
the woman and her children.
The children have already entered
school, having been sent on Friday
to be examined and assigned to the
proper classes in the proper school.
Captain and Mrs. McAfee are Civ
ing them the kindly attention they
need and have informed the Daily
News that the children have been ex-
amined and will go to school Monday
and thereafter regularly every day.
Some of the school books that have
been SO kindly sent by children and
their parents will of course, reach
these little ones, for they will be sup.
piled from the lot received.

and as 1t was about train time he took
the matter up with several bystanders
and in few moments little over 81
had been collected to defray the old
lady's expenses to Gulfport. And just
after the ticket had been bought a
sturdy railroad man who was on his
way to his nights work in the yards
passed by and heard the story and
without further inquiry he gave her
the lunch basket he carried and a
half dollar extra.
The old lady was put on the train
bound for Gulfport by Officer Moore,
who says he never will forget how
voraciously she attacked the food as
soon as she was out of sight of the
crowd.
She left for Gulfport a thankful,
happy woman, saying she never would
forget Hattiesburg and its kind peo-
pie and it is hoped that she found her
friends.
She wished that her name should
not be mentioned and for that reason
1t was not divulged.

aries for an ornamental board.
Although the experts" who were
to appraso the present water works
plant were appointed soon after the
water board came into being, the city
Is no nearer owning the plant than It
was ut that time. After two years Of
delays, two of the appraisers placed
the value of the plant at nearly twice
what the city thought It was worth and
Immediately the water company went
into federal court to force the city to
buy the plant at the figures of the two
appraisers. The city resisted the
heavy appraisal cloiming II was being
bilkcd out of about 100000.
Then the water board passed rcso-
ntons to construct a new plant and
ordered estimates and plans made.
This work Is now in progress, and
should the courts uphold the water
company and force the city to purchase
the plant at the appraised value, all
the work on the new plant will be
dead loss to the tax payers, as Omaha
has no use for two water plants.
Omaha is complaining of not enough
money to maintain suitable fire and
police force, and the money saved
from the abolition of the water boards
salary will go far towards helping out
these two necessary forces.

TO CHOP OFF SALARY.
Bill to Cut Pay of Omaha Water Board
is Endorsed There.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 26-Special to
The News: The bill which has been
introduced into the Nebraska legisla-
ture to cut off the salary of the mem
berS of the Omaha water board until
that board has something else to do
other than to approve its own expense
vouchers, meets with universal accord
among the tax payers of Omaha, who
are tired of seeing their hard earned
taxes frittered away by board with
nothing to do.
The Omaha water board, which has
been characterized "the do-nothing
board" came into being four years ago
when Omaha begun preparations to
municipalize its water plant. The
only thing of note it has done since
then is to draw its salary and 90. X"
attorney and other expense bills. In
that time the board has received as
salary $4,000 and attorneys fees have
aggregated more than that much, so
that the board has used up more than
100000 of the tax payers money-and
still has nothing to manage,
It is pointed out by citizens that the
school board, the park board and the
library board, all having important
work to do, serve without pay, but
the water board, with nothing to do
but heap up costly litigation, milks the
treasury for an aggregate of $4,000 in
salaries every year. Inspections OF
the minutes of the boards meetings
show that proceedings have been al
most exclusively confined to certify
ing vouchers for their own salaries
lawyers fees and court costs. Some
months not a single meeting was held
but the expense goes on just the same
1t is not the intention of the house
bill to parmenantly disband the water
board, but simply to cut off the salary

mont and to points between here and
Valentine. 1t is necessary to have at
many points a large supply of ice in
order to ice the trains.
Norfolk was selected for the largest
supply because Norfolk is the real
center of the Northwestern system in
the west. Fremont will furnish ice
for the lines south of that point and
Valentine will furnish ice for points
west of there into the Black Hills. A
large number of men have beeen given
employment here and at the other two
places by this work.

Society has had its hands full in

now and the beginning of Lent is
crammed full and has dates dates
written out on the margin. Pretty
nearly every date has some sort of a

theater has been closed for several
weeks, during which time it has been
renovated and changed in many ways.
The opening performance will come on
Tuesday evening when Alberta Cal

highly, will play Dorothy Vernon OF
Haddon Hall" The star and her play
are both new to Norfolk so that fore
casting the merit of the production is
rather a difficult matter, but it is the
event more than the play, after all,
which it is hoped will hang up the

ports, however, theatergoers will see
play that is worth while.
