OF the wholesale concerns of the city
and found a chez al and optimistic
air about all OF them. They arc well
pleased with the prospects for the fan

rate
Hattiesburg has several large whole.
sale grocery firms that do an immense
business throughout a large territory
and they meet all competition in
prices. They carry everything that can
be found in the largest grocery houses
in any city and the Hattoesburg mar
ket ought to supply the entire trade of
this section at the prices they quote on
their goods.
Merchants Grocery Company.
This was the first place visited and
the manager, Mr.. T. S. Jackson very
cheerfully answered all inquiries The
books of this large concern show that
their sales increased $4,000 during
the month Of September over the
month Of August and about the same
increase over the month of July, with
sales still increasing for the present
month. This is the largest wholesale
grocery concern in the state. and the
immense building. with three floors is
literally filled with groceries and such
articles as are usually carried bv big
grocery houses. The increase shown
by this firms business is a gratifying
indication of the fact that business in
Hattiesburgs large trade territory is
getting better all the time
Hattiesburg Grocery Company.
This is another immense grocery
concern that does a fine business.
Asked as to the business conditions as
they related to their trade, the state

as good as it was at any tine last
year" This statement goes further 10

business outlook is getting much bet
ter.
Union Produce Company.
At the Union Produce Company it
was stated that a considerable ill.,
crease in business was shown on their
books, as compared with a month or
two ago and they felt confident that
a good trade would soon be coming in
from their large number of custo-
mers.
Pullen Produce Company.
When the News representative
called at the office of the Pullen Pro-
duce Company, the manager was not
in and therefore a detailed statement
could not be obtained, but from a re-
liable source It was learned that this
popular concern was also enjoying an
increase in business over the past few
months and that they considered the
outlook promising for a growing bust
ness.

Alderman Harris, chairman Of the
committee Oh streets, walks and sew

council the fact that there is only

size of Brookings. The council did
not feel like issuing city warrants to
cover this deficiency, and one alder,
man suggested letting tie people
"holler their heads off" II they hol-
Ter loud enough and in great enough
numbers it is likely that the council
will heed the "holler" and provide
the money. One thing Is certain,
there will have to be considerable
money spent to put the crossings
around town in shape, to say nothing
of the streets. Inc and water
works construction has torn up the
streets and put them In dangerous
condition in many places and il will
take a considerable outlay of time
and money to get them into any kind
of decent shape.

of the block directly west. 1t is very
probable that the committee will ac-
cept Mr.. Atkinson's proposition. and
they can be assured of the hearty
support of all the citizens who have
to travel over that walk during wet
weather.
Ii was suggested that the council
condemn all the board walks. which
would relieve lie city of liability in
case of accident, the council to order
necessary, but the matter was finally
left to the decision of the new coun-
Gil. 1t is very probable, however, that
a large part of the board walks Will
be condemned during ,ne present sea
son and new walks ordered. AS new
walks must be built of cement. inside
OF a couple of years the board walks
will have entirely disappeared.

ECZEMA NOW DURABLE
All itching Skin Diseases Which are
Not Hereditary Instantly Relieved
by Oil of W~intergreen.
Can Eczema be cured?
Some physicians say Yes"
Some Sav "Nn'

Some physicians say Yes"
Some say NO"
The real question is, What is
meant by Eczema?" If o mean
those scaly eruptions. those dis
eases which make their first
appearance, not after birth, but years
afterward, and perhaps not until mid
die age-then there can no longer be
any question that these forms of Ec-
Zema are durable.
Simple vegetable oil of wintergreen,
mixed with other vegetable ingred,
tents, will kill the germs that infest
the skin. Apply this prescription to
the skin. and instantly that awful itch
is gone. The very moment the liquid
is applied. that agonizing, tantalizing
itch disappears, and continued appli.
cations of this external remedy soon
cure the disease.
All druggists carry in stock this
oil of wintergreen properly compound
ed into ID. ID. ID. Prescription. While
we are not sure that it will cure all
those cases Of skin trouble which are
inherited, we positively know that this
ID. ID. ID. Prescription. whenever right
ly used, will cure every last case of
genuine Eczema or other skin trouble,
which did not exist at birth.
We know this. Anyway you, your
self. will know that ID. ID. ID. Prescrip.
ton instantly takes away the itch the
moment it is applied to the skin. Stop
that itch today-instantly. Just call
at any drug store and try this re-
freshing and soothing liquid; also
ask about ID. d. ID. Soap.

The old city council had its last
meeting at the council hall Monday
evening and cleaned up the unfinished
business Of the past year, after which
the new members took their seats.
Mayor Mathews thanked the retiring
members, Messrs. Hoy and Hanson,
for their faithful services during their
term of office. The new members OF
the council are A. r. Hoover o.. .le
First ward, Henry Swering OF the
Third ward, and J. l.. Colegrove OF
the Fourth ward. j. G. Oyloe of the
Second ward, who was reelected this
spring, has served Oh the council
the past two years and therefore
cannot be considered a new member.
The principal business to come be-
fore the old council was the disposal
of some vexatious sidewalk matters.
