guards against loss of life and to prevent
disasters in coal mines. arrived from

In the gathering are Brussels and Renais-

tractive designs of 1908. The practical house
keeper understands that while new patterns are
brought out every year, they are very often no
more artistic, and sometimes less so, than the
so-called old patterns. When Curtains of quail
ty worth up to $3.50 are offered at SIC pair,
it is little surprising that 'old patterns are

Sixteenth Section Lands.

Attorney General Fletcher has
given the board Of supervisors. of
Perry county a written opinion
to the effect that they cannot sell
the timber off sixteenth section
lands without first gaining the
consent Of the lessee. : a
Sixteenth section lands are now
leased for five year periods and
the rights and privileges of the
leases are more clearly set forth
than they were under the SO
year contracts and since the
supreme court has passed ona a
few dozen phases Of the propesi-
ton. The attorney general holds
that the lessee Of the land is also
the lesseee Of the timber. He
has the right to use the timber in
building his home or fencing his
place, but he cannot sell It.
Neither can the board of supervi-
sors, the lessor, unless consent is
given. Clarion-L Ledger.

intcrcoastal Canal.

The scheme to have an interior
coastWise canal extending from
MASSACHUSETTS Bay to Rio Grande
River will some day be a reality.
The lands along the Atlantic
Coast are low and level with
rivers and lakes that can be con-
nected and utilized for long,
narrow craft of great carrying
capacity, transporting merchan-
disc and raw material at a low
rate of freight, A canal across
the Florida peninsula is not such
a great undertaking, as such
propositions usually are, with
great mountains to cut through,
or rocks to blast out, and after
that is accomplished then the
work of continuing the digging
through lands back from the
gulf coast will be easy enough.
There are no great engineering
feats to be accomplished, the
work only requiring muscle and
machinery.
This country needs water
transportation to hold railroads
in check on rates and in case of
war such a canal would be of
great value in moving supplies
for our army, being safe from
depredations of our enemys
navy. The IA foot waterway
from the Lakes to the Gulf, and
the Panama Canal are certainties
in a few years, and then the
Intercoastal canal will be built.
The future Of the south is bright
and there is no state in it that
has more right to look forward
to q full share Of prosperity than
Mississippi. The north and west
are no longer considered the
equals Of the south III those es-

Timely Gard From Hon. Pat
Henry.

: -.
TheIHerald reporter, while in
conversation with Judge Pat
Henry, stated to him that there
seemed to be an impression with
some Of the press of the state out
side OF Warren county, that the
vote IN the primary election for
congress in this district, in which
Hon. j. w. Collier and Major
Pat Henry were candidates, was
an unusual sone, and .intimated
! that perhaps some crooked work
was done, and inquired Of Judge
Pat Henry, whether or not he
would make a statement in re-
gard to the election in Warren
! county, Judge Pat Henry stated
that he would be glad to do so.
A letter from him follows:
To the Herald, Vicksburg,
Miss:
Conforming to our conversa-
ton of this morning, I desire to
state, that the primary election
recently held for congressional
nomination in which my uncle,
Major Henry, and Mr.. Collier
participated, was as nearly in
conformity to the laws as it is
practicable to hold such elections.
| am certain that nothing was
done on the part of the managers
of the election, which could be
criticised, Major Henry had a
representative at every voting
precinct in the county, except
two, and they We're small boxes
where only a few votes were
cast.
Wills a large vote was cast in
the county, when compared to
some other counties, those who
desire to criticise Warren, must
remember that her total regis
tered vote is 2, 1876, out of which
vote, 1899 persons voted, leaving
337 voters who did. not partici-
pate. The vote IN Vicksburg
was 1,529 of the total of 1,799
cast, the city vote being access
ible and easily gotten. out while
it is difficult to get out the county
vote owing to long distances to
fpolling precincts.
While regret the outcome OF
the election, and hoped for the
election of my uncle, still in
fairness to my home county,
gladly give this statement to the
public. Respectfully,
PAT HENRY.

Death of Mrs. Fl. Ell. BisseIl.

After struggling valiantly for months
against the ravages OF fatal malady,
cancer. Mrs. Florence Bissell died at her
home Saturday noon, Aug. %. Dissolu-
ton was preceded by several hours of
Inconsistencies.
Previous to her passing away Mrs.
Bissell had made every arrangement for
the last event of life which she realized
was soon to be her certain lot. To her
husband, DIR. Bissell, she indicated every
detail of services which were to be rem
dered for her after her life's activities
were ended and her spirit released from
its physical habiliment.
During the spring DR.. and Mrs. Bissell
commenced the erection OF handsome
home at the corner of Fourth and Ash
streets and though then fatally stricken
it was Mrs Bissell's ambition to occupy
the residence, even il she would be just
permitted to reside there but brief
while. Construction was hurried with
rapidity but the contest was losing one
and she died without the realization of
her cherished wish.
The daughter of the late Mr.. and Mrs.
William Amos, Florence Elizabeth Bis
sell, was born near Sheldon on Sept. Z,
1872. For a number of years she en-
gagged in teaching school and was known
among the educatiop;sts of the county
as successful preceptress.
Sheldon ceased to be her residence
upon her becoming the bride of DIR. FL.
FL. Bissell on Sept 19, 1906. With DR..
Bissell she went to Edgerton, Wis,
where he was engaged in the practice of
his profession.
One thing of all, that touches the
heart strings, is the deprivation of a
mothers love and devotion that comes
to the little daughter Ethel, IA months
of age, who with Or. Bissell, the hus-
band, and her only brother. John Amos
of Sheldon, are also bereft by the de-
mise of the wife and sister at an age yet
young. Watseka (Ill.) Times Democrat.

Mad Dog Scare at Beloit.

dog became affected with the malady
but the family was not aware of the fact
Thinking the animal was simply ugly,
Mrs. Adams caught it by the collar and
gave it severe threshing with horse
whip. In day or two the dog showed
plainly that it had hydrophobia and was
killed. Since that time eight hogs have
become affected and had to be killed,
and two cows were also put to death.
