Peculiar Collision.

A collision occurred in the Y. and
M. " yards at Vicksburg under cir
cumstances which are very peculiar.
1t has been very difficult to ascertain
the facts concerning the collision, but
the following is the story that comss
from railroad circles:
During the night some one stole an
engine out of the roundhouse in the
local yards. The person in question
turned on full steam and ran the en-
gine to point near the National Gem
etery. Then reversing the lever the
miscreant jumped from the locomo-
tive which at a terrific rate of speed
came down the track pack to Vicks-
burg. In its mad course it struck al
other engine in the yards and both
left the track.
On the last mentioned engine were
John E. Klein, the engineer and q
fireman. 1t was reported that Mr..
Klein was seriously hurt, but the
yard office stated last night that his
injuries were not serious. 1t was re-
ported also that the fireman suffered
slight injuries.

FORECAST POSTS
A NET INCREASE OF TEN WITH.
IN THE PAST YEAR.
REVIVAL WAS PROFITABLE
Fully One Thousand People Were

Forecasts in Mississippi.

During the past year there has
been a net increase of ten forecast
distributing stations in Mississippi
and at present there are in satisfac-
tory operation within the state thirty
three stations that disseminate fore
casts by mail. At nearly all of these
stations the distribution is effected
through the public spirited co-opera-
tion of postmasters. At about 10 a.
M, daily, except Sundays and holi-
days, the forecast is telegraphed at
Government expense from Washing
ton, d. c., the central Office of the
bureau, to the postmasters at these
distributing centers. The Postmaster
st each center is provided with s.
logotype stamping outfit by use of
which the forecast is quickly copied
onto postal cards previously arranged
in packages and addressed to neigh
boring post offices. These postal
cards containing the weather fore
cast for the following night and day
are sent to all post offices that can
be reached by 6 p. m. of the day on
which the forecast is issued. More
than nine-tenths Of all post offices
within the state that are located on
the railroad are thus supplied with
the forecasts which are posted by the
postmasters for the benefit of the
public. Approximately eight hun
dred private individuals or firms most
ly in the large cities of the state, also
receive and display the the forecasts
for the benefit of the public.
About twelve hundred farmers are
being supplied with the forecasts by
means of rural free delivery. There
are now in operation nineteen tele
phone distributing centers through
which the forecasts are made avail
able to six thousand five hundred
phones. There are also seven sta
tions at which weather and tempera
ture flags are displayed daily. In
the truck growing districts the fore
casts are very widely disseminated
both by phone and by sounding
whistles, and throughout the entire
state the demand for the forecasts
is growing steadily.
This work is under the supervision
of the Vicksburg station of the Unit
ed States Weather Bureau.

No. 314 between Jackson and Clarks-
dale on the 9th of March last and
between Cruger and Sidon the engine

death being almost instantaneous. AT
the time it was alleged that the ac-
cident was caused by spreading rails.

edly so. This class Of institutions not
only afford pleasant outing for our
people, but give valuable instruction

The Gates Revival.

After laboring In the Jackson
field for three weeks, and with
splendid and unqualified success,
Evangelist George C. Gates closed
his revival series, with Sun
day School mass meeting in the
morning, an afternoon converts meet
ing, and the farewell gathering in the
Auditorium at night. 1t is roughly
estimated that fully one thousand per
sons, and probably more, have been
! led to the mercy seat through the IL
fuence of the spirit, following up the
effective preaching of this extraor-
binary, simple speaking yet whole
souled and sanctifed man. Added to
the list of white persons who have
been led to make open profession of
repentance and to ask mercy for the
omissions and commissions of the past
is that of the negroes, who on yes
terday, both morning and evening,
crowded the building and about a
| hundred of whom went forward at
exhortation time 1t was an inter
esting and impressive as well as novel
sight, when the body of earnest and
faithful persons, who have been asso-
ciated with Mr.. Gates in his work
here and elsewhere, were seen going
out among their colored brethren,
praying and exhorting with them, and
giving words of encouragement to the
hesitant There were fully 1000 ne
groes present, who throughout the
evening remained quiet and attentive,
with scarcely sound or any indl-
cation of restlessness emanating from
them, receptive and interested from
the beginning until the close.
Evangelist Gates goes from here di-
rect to Suffolk, Virginia, where he
has been called to come and help them
there also, and where his stay will be
rather indefinite He has promised
the pastors of Vicksburg to visit that
city later on in the year, probably
in the fall, this time being suggested
as the best, by the Vicksburg pastors
Themselves, as from the first of July
until about the middle of September

The writer is In receipt of an inter
esting letter from Mr.. J. D. Ashcraft,
Sr., of Amory, outlining some of the
good things in store for his section
of Monroe county that is appreciated
highly. Among other things it is re-
counted that the Illinois Central will
likely build railroad through that
section, running from Aberdeen to u
point on the line from Corinth 70
Jasper, Ala. Several thousand acres
of timber land has recently been pur-
chased by interested parties and the
prospect for the road is good. The
farmers of that section are of high
class, energetic and work along right
lines. Of course they are prosper
Gus and happy. 1t is their purpose
to put up nothing but the very best
quality of canned goods and hope te
establish trade that desires first
class article and is willing 10 pay a
fair price for it. A new school build
ing that will cost when completed
$4,000 is in course of construction :?
Potatoes and other vegetables are be-
ing extensively raised and many 9TH
er good things are recounted. Mr..
Ashcraft writes a good letter and his
example is worthy of emulation by
all who are interested in Mississippi
and its future welfare.

Old methods are being replaced
In Mississippi with new and every
improvement in cultivation and hand
ling more strongly convinces one thai
no state offers as much to a man fol
his time and energy as ours. This
story may be getting little old 10
some who do not see it just as does
the writer, but there is always to him
something good in the retelling. On
ly few days since there appeared
in the Laurel Ledger a story of what
is being done in Jones county, which
is herewith reproduced as an example
of what one man is actually doing:
"In January j. M. Lindsey sold a
crop of turnips off plat of land at
an average of about 800 per acre.
This was followed with lettuce which
brought an average yield of $3.50 per
acre. When the lettuce was off Mr.
Lindsey had beans to follow. From
these he got about the same aver
age as from the lettuce, say $3.50 10
the acre. He had corn in the mid
dies which is now waist high. This
will be sold for roasting ears and
followed by peas sown broadcast for
hay. Turnips will follow which hs
thinks can be sold off by January.
This will make a new record for
South Mississippi and as the fourth
crop is maturing it is perfectly rea-
sonable that this can be done. The
three crops sold have brought an ag-
gregate Of about $3.50 to the acre and
should he get like average from the
other three crops it would mean more
than $500 tothe acre. Mr. Lind
sey has about three acres in this plat
that promises to bring him more than
$4,000 this year. Those who are land
poor might profit by such expert
ence. ;" Experience similar to that
of this Jones county gentleman can
be encountered every year in Mis-
sissippi. 1t is great old state and
the future promises even greater
things STILL
