ONCE AGAIN.
d. d. Richards,
Chancery Clerk,

It's all over but the shouting. The
it. Cheer up and peace be with thee.
Lamar Fontaine has spoken.
For several weeks past the people
of this State, who are an agricultural
set, have been in the depths on ac-
count of the crop prospect. The CON
tinued rains, the cold weather, the
replanting necessary, the grass, all
have given them the blues of the blu
est kind. But it is a dark cloud that
has no relief somewhere, and as Jack
Reaves would say, lit is long lane
that gathers no moss" and here it is:
"Col. Lamar FOntaine, of Coahoma
county, and withal one of the most
unique characters in the State, has
found an exact counterpart of this
year thus. far. He says that in the
year 1858 conditions were the same
as now; that on the 4th day of July
of that year farmers were gathering
their corn in the Delta in 1atboats
to feed to their stock, there being a
ScACl Oh OFCl Dub tlldA Oh JuAT
10th the waters receded, and crops,
both corn and cotton, were planted,
and, there being 40 frost that fall
and winter, fine crops were made
and harvested. Col. Fontaine, as Is
a we'll known fact. is an adept as a
story teller, but nevertheless, in the
absence of crop statistics OF the year
1858, we shall let the above histori-
cal information of Col. Fontaine's
pass for what 1t is worth. OF course
we do not in the least question the
colonels veracity."
The above is what another ex-
change says of Col. Fontaine. Mind
you, we do not say it. What we
would like to say wouldn't do here
for we have taken the pledge not 70
knock. But my, what a pledge it is
sometimes.

Mrs. DOME Payne Bowlin, wife OF
Rev. w. A. Bowlin, died at her home
on South Fourth street at las
o'clock last Sunday morning, her
death having been caused by tuberc-
ulosis. The deceased, who at the
time of her death was thirty five
years of age, was a most excellent
Christian lady and was respected and
esteemed by all who knew her. She
is survived by a husband and two
small children, who have the heart
felt sympathy of numerous friends
in the sad affection which has come
upon them.
The funeral occurred at the First
Methodist church at four o'clock on
Sunday afternoon, having been con-

A WORD OF EXPLANATION.

The editor of this paper has ap-
preciated from time to time the kind
nesses and courtesies of his brethren
of the State press and has hoped to
meet with them annually for a num-
Der of years, that he might clasp
hands and feel in touch with the
State craft, but he has been forbid
den this pleasure. He has been a
member of the Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows for a number of years, and
each year, receiving from this body
honors which he could not relinquish
without sacrifice to the splendid or
der, he has been compelled to attend
it's annual meetings
Unfortunately for him, this meet
ing always occurs the week that the
State press meets, and he has to sac
rifiee one for the other. In that way
The Dispatch man has been prevent
ed from attending the meeting of the
State Press Association, and he will
have to continue to miss it for some
years to come, or until there is no
conflict in the dates of the meetings
of these two organizations.
The writer, who has been the re-
cipient of many kind invitations from
his brothers of the press, feels that
this explanation is due, that his alb
sence may not be attributed to indif-
ference to the profession in which
his life work has fallen.

Father TyreII's Lectures.

Father Tyrell, of New Orleans, be-
gan series of lectures at the Cath
olic Church of the Annunciation last
Sunday night, and the series will con-
tinue throughout the week. Father
Tyrell, who was formerly president
of Spring Hill College at Mobile, is a
very learned man and possesses rare
oratorical powers, his voice being
deep and melodious, while his Jest
ures are the perfection of poetic mo-
ton. His lectures will be interesting
to Protestants as we'll as to Catholics.
He said in his lecture Sunday evening
that many people are prejudiced
against Catholicism because they are
not familiar with its doctrines. He
extended a special invitation to Pro-
testants to come out and hear his
lectures, assuring them that nothing
would be said that would in any way
offend them.
There will be two services daily
throughout the remainder of the
week, and those who hear Father Ty
rell will not only have the pleasure
of listening to a man endowed with
the highest intellectual qualifications,
but will learn things about the relig
ion which every man, be he Protest
ant or Catholic, should know.

GULFPORf TOOK
FIRST TWO GAMES
COLUMBIANS, WHO WE'RE GRIP
Piled By ABSENCE OF COL
LINS AND HUBER, LOST
BOTH THE GAMES.
TEX Jones Made His First Appear
ance i'm Mondays Game, When
He Showed Up Well Cen
eral Notes of Game.

The Columbians went up. against
the Gilkies at GuIfport Monday af-
ternoon, and Notwithstanding their
somewhat crippled condition put up
a good game, which was finally won
by Gulfport by a score of six to two.
The absence of Huber and Collins
necessitated several changes in the
lineup, and there was a general shift
ing of positions. Meredith went to
center, Andrews to right, Jones play
ed short stop. and May held down
second base. Jones, who recently
Joined the team, showed up exceed
ingly we'll in his initial game, having
scored one of the two runs made by
the Columbians- Wheeler was on the
firing line for the visitors, and all
though somewhat unsteady at times
pitched a fairly good game.

Jefferson Davis Birthday.

Last Monday, June 3rd, was JEFF
ferson Davis birthday, and was OBJ
served to- some extent throughout the
South. The State legislature recent
ly adopted resolution declaring the
day.a legal holiday in Mississippi, but
the holiday was observed in no gen
eral or concentrated manner. The
otherwise the people of Columbus
made no pretense at observing the
holiday.

The StarkviI1e Times contains the
following tribute to two men of
Lowndes, who did well their part of
restoring the government to Missis-
sippians and reclaiming it from car
petbag rule: "a number of citizens
of Oktibbeha county remember Jas.
A. Stevens, who with Gen. Jacob H.
Sharp, edited the old Columbus In
dex. In his day he was power in
the land in moulding public opinion
and his editorials always carried
weight He was one of the men who
arose as tower of strength in re-
storing Mississippi to its own from
carpetbag rule. The announcement
of his death came recently from his
home in Burnett, Texas, and brought
sorrow to the hearts of many Miss
issippians, but Mr.. Stevens declares
that he is not dead and his many
friends in Mississippi are glad he can
prove his assertion, and that he is
still lives in the flesh and is prosper
ing as a farmer in his Texas home.

Licenses Promptly Paid.

That the merchants, manufacturers
and professional men of Columbus
and Lowndes county are all prosper
ing is evinced by the prompt manner
in which they have paid their priv
ilege tax for the ensuing year. The
time for the payment of privilege
licenses expired on June 1St, and
while some of the surrounding coun-
ties report large delinquent lists
there were very few people in Lown-
des county who failed to pay up, the
total amount remaining due and un-
paid being less than one hundred dol
lars Under the law, those who fail
ed to renew their licenses by June 1st
are compelled to pay double the
amout originally assessed against
them. and Sheriff Eggleston and Dep
uty Sheriff Erwin we're clever enough
to notify all parties concerned Of this
fact. The people appreciate the cour-
tesies extended by the two officials,
and practically all of them paid up
promptly.
The total amount collected for
privilege licenses in Lowndes county
| is about $4,000 per year. OF this
| amount about $500 has been paid
| in during the past few days. The
remaining s2,500 was collected at
various times during the preceding
twelve months from parties embark

A FOURTH OF JULY CELE-
2 .s..ssss .-. BRATION:ss--1- .s-.---sss- =

s There Is every reason why the peo-
pie of Columbus should this year
/ have mammoth Fourth of + uIr. eel
ourselves as patriotic citizens of a
prosperous country to celebrate the
nations natal day, but as loyal boos-
/ ters for Columbus we should do some
thing to show our qualification at the
rapid and ever continuing growth of
/ the city The Columbus Underwear
/ Mill, which has been closed down for
more than year, will resume opera
| tion on July 1st, and this one fact Is
! enough to fill us with enthusiasm and
! instill in our hearts desire to get
f-up mammoth celebration.
1t would be very nice to have a
/ big barbecue and picnic at Lake Park
TO which the laboring classes should
be especially invited, then a baseball
game could be arranged for the after
noon. The league team will be in
Mobile on July 4th, but it will be an
easy matter, with as much amateur
talent as there is in Columbus, to or
ganize two teams and let them play
a match game at Lake Park, the pro-
ceeds to go to the Columbus Baseball
Associa alton. 1t would be easy to ar
range a political speaking in the
, evening, at which time the candidates
could tell US their views on the lead
ing issues now before the public
None of the candidates for county
offices have as yet delivered any pub
lie speeches, and an occasion of this
kind would afford them a splendid
opportunity to give expression to
whatever views they may hold on top
les in which the people are interested.
In order for any undertaking sim
liar to the one outlined above to be
successful, it must meet with the en-
thusiastic approval and hearty sup
port Of the people, and it is to be
hoped that our citizens will begin 10
talk the matter over among them
selves and will decide that they want
a Fourth of July celebration and are
willing to guarantee its success BY
their moral and financial support. "a
celebration of this kind not only ad
yertises the city abroad and gives
people to understand that we are
alive to the interests of Columbus,
but it will bring here visitors from
the country and from neighboring
towns, who will spend money freely.
The merchants will all do big bus
iness, and will get back more than
their contributions amount to, so that
in the end we can have a celebration
which will bring pleasure to the peo-
pie, which will advertise the city, and
yet which will cost very small sum.

less. Huber is conceded to be the
best short stop in the league, while
both as fielder land as hitter Col
lins is without a peer. The intention
of President Banks is to strengthen
the team, not to weaken it. and he
certainly has no intention of trading
or releasing two of his best players.
Many false reports concerning the

and 1t is perhaps pertinent to state
that never for one instant has the
idea of .surrendering the franchise

days of baseball, when the game was

it required an entire day TO decide a

game in Massachusetts in which it re-

which the total score was an even

"On Wednesday evening in the Meth

young people seems to have have
been of that kind denominated love
at first sight, as their interest in
each other dates from the time the
bride moved here, little more than
a year ago. The bride is a most
charming young lady, whose lovely
face is the least of her attractions, as
she has qualities of mind and heart
that win for her firm friends among
old and young, among those of high
as well as low degree degree. The
groom is pharmacist and has per-
