A Fishing Party.

Intent on pastoral pleasure and
seeking recreation from the cares
and toll of strenuous life, a party
composed of Mr.. and Mrs. V. Nj.
Davis and family, Mrs. Whiteside,
Miss Wigginston, Miss Dora
Sutton of Ansley and Misses May
and Grace Davis of Ruston
sought the enticing banks of
Saline to indulge in the pastime
of angling for the denizens of it,
waters. The party was a merry
AID joyous one, full of bright
anticipations of royal sport. But
the storm king was abroad in his
wrath, and cut short the anticipa-
tions of the happy party of fair
young lassies and their chap
erones. The pleasure hoped for
was rudely terminated by the
copious rain of Monday. The
party, none the worse for their
experience, arrived in Winfield
Tuesday and spent the day in
social intercourse at that public
aud cosy haven of rest. the City
Hotel. Several of the party hon
ored The Sentinel with IA pleasant
visit to witness scme of the
intricacIes of a printing office.
Mr.. Davis is Il member of the
firm of Davis Bros. Lumber Co.
of Ansley, and very pleasant
and sociable gentleman. 1t is
hoped that the gay party may
meet with more favorable circum-
stances on their next attempt to
enjoy an outing on the banks of
Saline.

A Card of Thanks.

We take this method of ex-
pressing our heartfelt thanks to
our friends for their many kind
nesses shown us in the death of
our precious little granddaughter,
Maggie Lee Durham. L was not
left alone, but friends came to
me with comforting words; ac-
companying me to the depot to
meet my broken hearted children.
OH How coul ! we live in this
world of sorrow and sadness
without such dear friends?
May Heavens choicest blessings
rest on them.

The Age Limit.

Some conception of the limit
on life held by the Confederate
veterans of the civil war may be
formed by their present status in
years. David Pierson Camp No.
1903, L. &. ", has 80 members
on the active roll in Winfield.
The youngest member of the
camp is 81 and the Oldest 81;
their average age is SO years.
This is close to the allotted span
of human life of three score and
ten, In a comparatively brief
period the last of the gallant
hosts of 1861 will have passed
the divide forever. and Only the
memory of their lives and their
deeds will remain as the record
of their heroism.

Inc Nlnnlleld fllgh School Is
an institution of which the people
should be justly proud. 1t began
its present scholastic year with an
attendance SO numerous as to
necessitate the erection of addi-
tional school rooms to accommo-
date the scholars. The entire
matrlcula.ion for the session has
been $40, indicating that this
school is one of the most prosper
Gus and leading institutions in the
State.
The PrIncip..l. Professor w. G..
Robinson. is splendid educator
and not less an instructor of fine
executive ability. The faculty
consists of an exceptionally fine
corps of instructors in the several
branches, and comprise Profs. j.
l.. Liggin, G. A. Gayne, j. j.
Nixon, Misses Josie Mayes, Lu-
cille Swette, Jennie Mae jackson,
Bette Nolen, Lottie Long, Bette
Huey. Ella Peters. Ernie O'Mal-
ley, Annie Lee Nixon, Agnes
Copenhave1 and Mrs. w. T..
Robinson, an exceptionally strong
and efficient corps of enthusiastic
educators. The music depart
ment is under the skilled direction
of Mrs. Lee Smith and Mrs. j. r.
Gibbs, who are proficient and ac-
c0mnlished musicians as evidenced
by the training of their scholars
i'm vocal and instrumental num-
bers.
The commencement exercises
of this splendid institution began
Wednesday night at the Opera
House by the exhibition of the
Kindergarten work, followed
Thursday by the exercises of the
musical classes and concluding
Friday night with the literary
program of the graduating class
and awarding of the diplomas.
The scene in the Opera House
Wednesday night surpassed any
event that has occurred within its
walls since the Hall was construct
ed. 1t was estimated that at least
800 people were crowded within
It's space. The gallery, the orch
ester, extra seats and the aisles
were crowded and standing room
was at q premium and many per-
sons were unable to effect an
entrance.
The program of exercises, which
embraced an exhibition of the
efficiency of the kindergarten
scholars, was admirably carried
out from start to finish. 1t con-
sisted of vocal and piano solos
and duets, tableaux, character
songs representing the seasons. a
drill with vocal accompaniment, q
musical flower scene and an up
to-date fashionable wedding scene
In all its minutiae, concluding
with an enhancing tableau. The
exercises finished with a song by
the school, that was a delightful
finale to the splendid entertain
ment.
The wedding representation
was a perfect fac simile of such
an event, and tie regulation at
tires of the wedding party. the
guests, the flower girls and minis
terial representative were the
reproduction of the reality, In
LiIiputian form. This initial ex-
hibition of the exercises demon
strates the proficiency of the
training of these little tots. and
the care and patience of their.
instructors. The musical numbers

It is permanent. The owners have pur-

Much that is being added to the assess

our burden of taxation. The value Of cotton
now is double what it was tenvea
lago as bale brings from $50. to $50. now.
Ito from S25. to $50. then.
PeIahatChie ships about 500 tons of cot
ton seed annually and it has become GREAT
commercial crop. With the high prices Which
have prevailed for seed the amount Of money
|pald out and turned loose in trade channels
has been quite factor in the towns business
Until short time ago the commercial ex-
Iistence Of the town depended almost entirely
on cotton. It is true, however that a consider
able amount Of hardwood has been shipped
OF late years, the volume Of business runninu
into several thousand dollars per year. It is
likewise true that, although the more valuable
hardwood timber has been cut from the
sWannps in hauling distance, there remains
much some miles out, that that will, at no dis
tant day be utilized. There is considerable
quantities Of gum, beech, red oak magnolia
and other varieties close in, that will be cut

them figure that will pay to manufacture into

Some q NC 9CstorN q Progressive PeAahaAchle

The latter part of 1873, Pelahatchie's bus
mess houses consisted Of two bar rOonS the
depot and the post office. About so bales Of
cotton comprised the annual shipments. There
were no public roads to the town over which
greater loads could be hauled, after rains, than
the precious jug Of booze. Even inside of the
present extended corporation limits there were
only four dwellings occupied by White people,
and practically all Of the present town was
either in cotton field, or in woods
The first successful attempt to do q gener-
al mercantile business was during the winter
1873, when the firm of StngiIy, Marion &
Co., opened business. The fall of1874, this
firm shipped about 200 bales Of cotton. Mr..
Marion left the firm after a few years and SO
did Mr. Bell, they being succeeded by 4. A.
ibis. Mr. libbs was in turn succeeded by
j. A. Taylor.
The firm bought one season 800 bales
of cotton. Dr. {. x Jones and other strong
firms having opened up good business houses,
the volume OF trade was greatly increased, SO
tnat cotton shipments amounted to over s.
600 bales.
The Gulf & Ship Island Railroad cut off over
twenty per cent. of the cotton receipts. Not
With-Standing this loss, our volume of cotton
business is now what it was at its height; due
to two causes, one that this section is fast fill
ing up with young farmers, and another to the
fact that much of the trade that went off to
points on the G. & S. l. r. r., is coming back
The time is ripe for Rankin County merchants
to secure much Of that trade. The benefits that
would accrue are Of INTEREST," to every man who
pays taxes in, and calls Rankin county home.
Matters Of this kind should be of sufficient
interest to every man who takes the right view
ard cause him to stand for every progressive
movement, even though he does not benefit
directly from it, but does indirectly.
Advertising, good roads and intelligent en-
thusiasn7 Will accomplish great things in trade
winning.
