The eldest son of the President is

Of his distinguished father. He was
scarcely OIt of college before he Sc
cured work in a carpet factory, and
now he has been made aide de camp to
the Governor Of Connecticut, with the
rank Of majOr His fathers military
rank is but one grade higher of
colOnel-and he did not attain to this
distinction until after he was forty
years old and had served in the Span
ish war. No one will begrudge and but
few will envy young Theodore's ad-
vancenent, especially when it is known
that it will cost him about two
thousand dollars a year for uniforms
and other expenses to be a major and
aide to Governor LiIIey of Connecticut.

At sGulfport the banks this week resumed the payment to depositors with out limit. The Gulfport harbor Is crowded with vessels waiting to be loaded with lumber to carry to all parts of the world, and up and down the line of road the mills are making preparations for renew al of full activity. By the end of January Captain Jones expects the traffic on his road to have resumed the normal.
 MT. s. N. Acree of the Union Supply company of this city, who is just back from trip through tie saw mill district of South Mississippi, reports that every where he encountered evidences of re- vival of activity among the mills. Many of them are fixing to cut for the export trade, and others have received orders for interior supplies that will keep their baWb OuSy lOl Soll0 tlAllO lO SOAAAOs AAO L. N. Dantzler company of Moss Point has given out orders for 100000 feet of export material for immediate delivery, these orders going to various mills be- tween Mt Olive and Gulfport. Over on the Mendenhall branch of the Gulf and Ship Island the mills are especially walk ing up, there being half a dozen of them that have been closed down for the past two months that are about to reopen.
 Nearly all of the mills are arranging for labor at a lower figure than that which prevailed prior to the slump in the in- dustry. They find that they cannot afford to pay as high as in times past and they point out that previous to the recent general shutdown labor in the mills was drawing extravagant wages. The men are showing a disposlLion generally to accept the situation, and there has been no trouble ,in securing the old hands in all cases.
