New Roads Projected.

While there has been a wave OF rail
road development in the lower half Of
the State and the delta section during
northeastern part and i'll the prairie
country has not been so active until re-
Gently. The action of the Illinois Cen
trial in cutting across the northeast cor
movement which begot inspiration and
generated the fever elsewhere, and prOmi-
nent among these is the re JuvenatiOn OF
the Memphis and Pensacola project. The
attention of the State has been at
tracted to the action of the citizens OF
West Point in voting that corporation
$685. 600 for right of way and terminals,
by a large majority, and now there Is a
movement on foot to inspire the same
people to vote a $4,000 issue of bonds
for the West Point and Houston, a pro-
posed Independent line, projected to run
northwest through Clay and Chickasaw
counties and form a junction there with
the Mobile, jackson and Kansas City
ana the SOulleIuS SdluUuH w. DIdHcI.
The citizens of Houston nave already got
ten busy, and it is predicted that they
will vote a $4,000 issue for the encour-
agement of the enterprise, and further
off, in ~Yalobusha, the proposition is being
agitated with a view to having that pro-
gressive county represented i'll the deal.
1t seems quite certain that If the West
Point and Houston is built to the latter
point, it will not stop there, as there
is a fine field for exploitation through
Calhoun into ~Yalobusha, and those who
are acquainted with the country are of
the opinion hat such would make an
ideal short cut line from Water Valley
into the prairie section, through an
adaptable territory.

That Jones county is all in the way of
material advancement and and
adaptabilities which has been claimed for

CLEvELAND's AFFABILITY.
Patrons of Sport Always Welcomed
by Late President.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, July 1--"Grover
Cleveland was one of the most popular
residents of Princeton and was especially
liked by the class of '93, my class" said
Richard B. Kent, graduate Of Prince
ton. while discussing the death of the
former President. Mr.. Cleveland moved
to Princeton the same year our class en-
tered college and we made him charter
member. At our club he was well known
and very popular and while no member of
our class was intimately acquainted with
him he was friendly with all Of us. Those
who liked hunting and fishing were sure
of warm welcome from Mr.. Cleveland at
any time and in the field he was always
willing to share hunting paraphernalia
with the shooters.
Mr.. Cleveland owned three of the finest
quail dogs 1 ever saw. We, who liked
hunting. kept close watch of the ex-Presi-
dent when he started out with his gun.
We followed into the woods and managed
to get close enough to him SO that ne
would notice us. invariably ne Woulo
call out cheerfully:
We'll boys, what luck?'
None at ALI we would tell him and
then he would invite us to accompany
him.
"'You can't do much with the quail un-
less you have dog. he would say. Come
along and see how mine work.
Mr. Cleveland would tramp along with
us fellows all day insisting that We take
our share of the shooting. He was fine
man and among his friends none will
regret his death more than the members
of the class of '93.

MULDooN, NOT ROOT, WALKED.
Secretary Turns Trainers Joke and
Old Wrestler Trudges Four Miles.

NEW YORK, July Secretary Roots
previous visit to Muldoon's farm about a
year ago stood him in stead this time
when. as is the custom with new arrivals
at the White Plains farm. the buggy was
brought around in the afternoon. driven
by the physical culturist and the Secre-
tary was invited to ''see the place."
Patients at Muldoon's, or ''clients." a
he calls them never, as rule, forget
this first drive on their arrival. IL Is
one of the regular jokes OF the trainer
to drive a patient out about four or five
miles under pretense of showing him
the country: drop the whip on purpose,
and when the obliging victim gets down
for it Muldoon drives rapidly off. The
unfortunate one has a nice long walk
home.
When Muidoon and the Secretary on
this recent occasion reached spot IN
a wood about four miles from the farm
the whip fell to the road. as though 10y
accident. The Secretary had not for
gotten a similar incident on his previous
visit. and he said: 'Muidoon. L think
twisted my ankle when / got into the
buggy"
Oh all right" said the trainer. I'm
get it, and. handing the reins to Mr..
Root. he jumped to the road. In flash
the Secretary clucked to the horse, big
bay mare and she was off like a shot.
Muldoon yelled in vain, and nearly an
hour later he arrived at the farm. To md
Mr.. Root on the veranda cooling himself
II couldn't hold the mare in. said
he. as Muldoon. all perspiration. walked
up by the way. you forgot / took that
ride with you last year-only II was
who walked home.
Muldoon said nothing. He never swears.
But they say the Secretary got an eight
pound medicine ball to begin on instead
of a lighter one yesterday morning.
Ii developed yesterday that Ar. Root
i. taking a secret treatment for the
benefit of his nerves.

The government of a Scottish university
is somewhat complex and the lord rector

variably filled by some man. not neces-
sarily connected with the university, who
is distinguished in politics or letters. such

origin TO a bequest of Robert Reid. first
