PIans for their Intelligent Culture

Sometime since there appeared a
call in this department for infor-
nation concerning bee keeping in
Mississippi. A number of replies have
been received conveying the infor-
nation desired, but there are still
others interested in the business to
hear from. The writer is commanded
by the Act creating the Depar tment
of Agriculture and Commerce to in
vestigate and report upon this indus
try in particular. So, if you see this
and are at all interested in bee Gull
ture, write what YOU know of it for
the general information of the pub
lie. A number of keepers have been
written concerning the advisability
of forming a state organization for
the purpose of fostering the enter
prise, meeting yearly for discus
sion Of topics that would be of profit
and interest to the members etc.
Such meeting could be held during
the state fair and the low railroad
rates for that event taken advantage
of by those attending. Let's have

THE GOOD ROADS AGITATION.
Many Counties Have Adopted the
Contract System.

Many Counties Have Adopted the
y Contract System.
It seems that the good roads
agitation is sweeping over the entire.
state, and that no county is free from
the infection. This is very crafty
ing indeed to those who have SO
faithfully advocated the improve
ement of road conditions for years
with little or no help from the people
in general Sixteen additional coun-
ties haze adopted the contract sys-
tenn within the past twelve months
while only one has abandoned the
system in that time. Even where 1t
has been abandoned, other plans are
being tried that will likely lead to
permanent betterment. At Corinth
on July Fourth big picnic was CIV
en- and a parade OF floats and deco
rated vehicles. A dilapidated cart
and bony horse with the proverbial
rope harness was shown as result
of poor roads in that county. A pref
ty strong argument that will do good
in the long run. The Indianola Bust
ness League has petitioned the SUI
pervisors to allow them to work a
section of the road and has solicited
the funds necessary to put It in good
shape. A large NUMBER of counties
that have had the contract system
for several years and found it good,
have recently re-let their contracts
with larger pay and more exacting
specifications. The idea that we can
and should have better roads at a
reasonable cost is growing and it will
not be necessary for the man now
fifty to live to be hundred to see
many counties in Mississippi with
roads that are good for 365 days in
the year and that two mules can
easily pull five bales of cotton over.
There is plenty doing in the road i'm
provement business.
One of the Aberdeen papers sug-
gests the advisabiiiLy of construct
ing a piece of roao that is really
good" on a stretch that is now bad
enough. 1t is proposed to have the
town build this piece us a demonstra-
ton of what roads should be. The
idea is an excellent one. 1t would pay
the towns to build pieces Of good
roads leading to them from every
direction. If this was done, the peo-
pie in coming in to town would use
and be made to appreciate roads as
never before. The man living few
miles in any direction would drive
over the road leading out to his
home and if it was not good all the
way, would soon begin trying to have
1t made so. The man beyond him
would catch the fever too and get
busy to have it reach him. In this
way good road would be gradually
extended until it went to the county
line. Example is by far the strongest
argument in favor of progressive
proposition like this. Holly Springs
and other towns are doing this very
thing, and the results of their eff
forts should be closely looked after
by other towns desiring to create
good roads" sentiment Get the
movement we'll started and see that
it does not lag.

CEREMONY UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
Unusual Dinner at British Embassy at
Time of Paris Siege

Sir Frank Lascelles, our Ambassa-
dor in Berlin, who is just retiring,
has had some exciting experiences
in the course of his diplomatic ca,
reer.
He was with Sir Edward Malet in
Paris in 1870 during the siege and the
Commune, and tells the story of an
extraordinary dinner which they had
at the embassy shortly after a
cannon ball had drivtI in the front
wall and reduced the kitchen to ruins.
A general retreat was made TO the
cellar.
And here the two Englishmen so
