While the Christmas holidays are

entirely over until new years day has
passed, yet Christmas day, which Is
usually the most enjoyable of all the
holidays has passed-and it passed
very quietly in Hattiesburg so far as

ance of any kind to mar the celebra-
tion of the natal day of the Savior

good behavior, the police say it was
the most quiet Christmas they ever
sew in Hattiesburg
There was very little drinking, and
scarcely none to excess. With reports
of accidents and trouble from drink
that occurred in other places, Hatties-
burg has something to be proud of
in the fact that not a thing happened
yesterday to bring disgrace on the

LEAF RIVER BRIDGE
ALREADY COMPLETED
Accepted and Engineers Are New
Locating the Line from the River
Toward Kola.

With an immense steel bridge al
ready completed across Leaf river,
it would appear that the projected rail
road from Ellisville to Kola is no
longer a road on paper" but is fast
assuming an actual and tangible APP
pearancc.
The road already runs out eight
miles from Ellisville in the direction
of Kola and the steel bridge for the
road across Leaf river has been com
pleted and the balance of the con-
struction work is to go rapidly for
ward.
The new mill at Kola, built by Mr..
Mulford Parker, who is also building
the railroad, began business last week
and its output in the future will be
large The railroad will be of stand
ard guage and steel and while it will,
OF course. be largely used for hauling
logs, yet il will be prepared TO do
a large passenger and freight traffic.
Mr., Parker, in promptly rebuilding
the Kola mill, and in constructing the
new railroad has shown not only good
business judgment, but a pluck and
energy that means much to this sec
tion of the state.
While no positive news has been
given out, it is believed that the mill
of the Ellisville Lumber Company, in
which Mr.. Parker was largley inter
ested, will be rebuilt during the year.
The new railroad, which will be near
thirty miles in length, will pass
through some fine timber, and also
through some fertile lands.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, Miss. Dec. 26.-According
to unofficial adyices received by mem.
bers of the Mississippi railroad com
mission, the Liberty-White road, now
in operation from McComb to Liberty,
is preparing to extend its line to Baton
Rouge, and work will be commenced
during the early part of the new year.
The Liberty-White road has been en-
gagged for several weeks in standard
izing its roadbed, and this is believed
to be step preliminary to making the
Baton Rouge extension.
1t is said that it is the ultimate in
tention of the Liberty-White road to
build east from McComb City to Co
lumbia and Hattiesburg, and that sur
veys will shortly be made to this end.
The Liberty-White was established
as a logging road and its promoters
own large tracts of timber between
McComb City and Columbia, where the
road would connect with the New Or
leans and Great Northern and the
Gulf and Ship Island, thus giving di-
rect shipping facilities to Gulfport and
New Orleans. At Hattiesburg the road
would connect with the Mobile, Jack
son and Kansas City and Mississippi
Central, thus insuring lively compe-
tition.
