Jackson, Miss, October 6.-Ex-Gov.
Jas. X. Vardaman, Hon. C. NJ. William
son; DR.. r. V. Powers, Judge James
Longstreet and a number of other
more or less prominent Jackson men
leave today for Chicago to attend the
waterways convention, and delegates
are going in like large numbers from
all over the state, particularly from
these towns lying along the Missis-
sippi River.
Gov. Noel decided not to make the
trip, mainly because he is not certain
that the activities of the night riders
in certain sections of the state have
entirely subsidized, and he wants to be
in the state when the trouble begins.
If trouble must begin. He admits.
however, that there appears to be lit
tie cause for alarm. but prefers to be
on the safe. side in the event anything
turns up from that quarter.
In discussing the work of the Lakes.
to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways associa-
ton and the allied organizations, Gov.
Noel expressed pleasure that, for the
first time in their history, both the
big political parties have got together
on the importance of improving the
channel from Chicago to New Orleans,
and thinks now that the only thing
necessary to do is to keep the fires
burning.

VETERANS
IN REUNION
Daily News Special.

]
Jackson, Miss October GA large
number of Confederate Veterans
passed through Jackson yesterday and
today en- route to Greenwood, where
the annual state reunion is to be
held on Wednesday and Thursday.
A number of those living near
Greenwood have been somewhat dis
appointed in the arrangement whereby
the sale of tickets was fixed for the 9Th
and 9th, thus forcing them to leave
today in many instances in order to
get the advantage of the rate of one
fare plus 25 cents for the round trip,
when they might otherwise have re-
manned at home until Wednesday
morning, going in on the early trains,
and saved themselves the expense of
remaining another night away from
home.
Much regret is also expressed on all
sides that Ex-Governor Robert Lowry
is unable to attend the reunion. As
major general and chief commanding
officer, his presence was looked upon
as matter of course, and his con-
tinued serious illness at his home in
this city is a matter of deep regret,
not only to the old soldiers, but to the
people of the state generally.

dating back to the days OF the Spanish

Out of compliment to the president
the main floral decoration was OF La

vases and flower bowls space was found
for charming little banks of Dorothy

larger blooms, while graceful tendrils

On one occasion, a bishop who prided
himself on ever forgetting either the
name or face OF any clergyman In his
diocese, happened to be travelling

carriage in which the bishop was.
The bishop recognized the mans
face. but could o. remember his name,
and not wishing TO acknowledge his
forgetfulness, leaned forward, . and;
with a. charming smile, said: = Z
