THE STORY.

THE wonderful golden image which
the king had caused to be set up
had for the moment been forgotten,
and the throngs of people which had
been gathered to pay homage to the
great glittering thing of gold were
surging about the place where the fur
mace had been built, and in which now
u raging fire burned. 1t was the same
furnace in which the metal for the
great image had been smelted but a
few days before, and that day the fires
had been kindled again, not to smelt
more metal for an image, but to burn
the heretics who dared to defy the
mandate of the king and refuse to bow
down to the wonderful image and in
whom dwelt the spirit OF their gods.
That day the great company of mu-
sicians had played in honor Of the
golden image, ana at the sound of the
music the people had bowed before it
in alteration and worship. Even the
king had, with much pomp and cere-
mony, paid his oblations before the
image, and had been followed by his
brilliant court retinue. Then, from the
high throne where it had been set up
overlooking the great plain, he
watched tbs feasting and the dancing,
and the pr~ostrations of the people as
the music gave the signal.
Then had come the break in the GER
elnonies and the news had quickly
spread through the vast throng that
the three governors over the province
Of Bnbylca had refused to bow before
the great image and were to be cast

an act Of unprecedented brutality to a
horse. In a series Of pictures called

PAYMENT of State Pensions.

Auditor Smith secured the approval OF
the governor and encouragement to a
plan to permit the tax collectors through
out the State to delay their settlements
for taxes paid during November and add
to them those collected in December up to
the 18th, and take up, if possible, the
pension warrants for their respective
counties, in order that he Confederate
pensioners would get their money as
early as possible.
While the idea is a good one from tho
standpoint of the %pensioner, it is equally
good for the tax collector, as it saves the
transportation of the money from the
county treasures, to pay the pensions,
and at the same time saves the sherli1S
the transportation on their collections
from their counties to the State treas
urN.

Old Ladies' Home Opened.

One more institution, eleemOsynary IN
it's nature, and one that will be an ever
lasting credit and honor to MississippIs
matchless womanhood, her mothers,
wives and daughters, and incidentally to
the manhood of the State, which has fol-
lowed their patient and efficient leader
ship, the Mississippi Old Ladies' Home,
becomes a fixture. The opening of this
Institution is the fulfillment of a dream
of years; the idea originated in the minds
of those who realize that there are or
phans of an elder growth who are in that
condition that would warrant the exist
ence of just such a home for their mar
rowing years; who, while deserving OF
the charitable and philanthropic consid-
Grafton of the world of means or compe-
tence, would yet shrink from any overt
effort to attract its attention or secure
its eleemosynary benefits. For such the
Old Ladies' Home has been developed, and
for such its portals are open and will re-
main open as long as the womanhood of
Mississippi continues thoughtful and un-
selfish and its manhood chivalrous and
devoted.
The building, though completed, is not
as yet entirely paid for, though the bal
ance is small, and the association is sat
isfied that the gap will be stopped before
very long. Nor have the ladies anything
by way of endowment or maintenance
fund, but they open up the home, feeling
sure that the same Providence that has
blessed their efforts so far will be with
them and those whom they have adopted
as their wards.
The Old Ladies' Home opens with six
inmates already comfortably domiciled
in its coy and attractively arranged
wards or apartments, and with applica-
tions from a dozen others.

Boil Weevil Special.

Loaded down with men and with lit
erature primed against the invading and
lnsidious Mexican boil weevil, with the
purpose of strengthening and instructing
the people i'll regard to the pest and the
means most effective for meeting its UNI
disputed and unimpeded advance, a train,
called the boil Weevil Special" started
out bright and early Monday for a five
day tour. This was not a relief train
or a party sent out to administer to the
suffering or distressed, but an outfit and
a party on education formed to carry in
struction and confidence to the masses
who cannot be reached otherwise.
The idea of running this train origi-
mated, as have other good, progressive
and practical ideas for the material add
vancement of Mississippi, and especially
that very large part of the State ira
versed by the Illinois Central and 1azoo
and Mississippi Valley lines and their
feeders, in the active and fertile minds
of the immigration and industrial de-
%partments of the great system, which
readily furnished to the Mississippi Off
Gals the train gratis. The plan was to
run the train over the Illinois Central
south as far as the State line, or near it,
which trip would cover the territory
which is considered most certain to be
subject to the attacks of the weevil next
crop season, and then down into the Sec
ton where the pest has made itself felt.
Tho theme to be preached is not so much
the salvation of the cotton growing III
dustry, out rather the salvation OF" the
farming interests through the adoption OF
intelligent planting Of the staple crop, as
the Texans have done.

Expert Road Builder Coming.

The office of public roads of the De-
partment of Agriculture agreed to send
an expert road builder to the delta coun-
ties of Mississippi to confer with the
Board of Supervisors in mapping out a
better system of improving the dirt roads
and to assist in building demonstration
roads where deemd advisable.
Mr.. Kellar, who for several years was
superintendent of roads of Madison ccun-
ty, Tennessee, whose public highways are
regarded by the department as the best
in the South, has been detailed by the
government to go to Washington and Le-
fore counties, in Mississippi, early in
January. He probably will spend a
month in each of these counties, going
over every public road with the local
road supervisor, advising with him, and
in some instances building short reaches
of roads where particular skill is required
for the work. Both Washington and Le-
fore counties have recently issued bonds
for the purpose of improving their roads.
