How They Started.

Rev. Robert Colyer, the emf
nent preacher, was originally a
blacksmith, aud spent many an
hour over the forge swinging the
heavy hammer to the music OF
the anvil. This occupation, while
severe and prosaic, had its uses,
for years of hard work brought
with it health, strength, good
lungs and a brawny frame which
served DR.. Colyer in good stead
in the pulpit.N
Russell Conwell, who is cred
tied with preaching o the largest
Protestant congregation in Amer.
lea, in the Baptist Temple, Phil
adelpbia, began life as a reporter
on Boston newspaper. He had
many vicissitudes, and finally
went into the United States army
and served during the war, and
it was only after that event that
he finally perceived his real voca-
ton was in the ministry.
Elihu Root, Secretary of State,
began life as a school teacher,
and afterwards drifted into law
and politics.
U. s. Senator Perkins, of CaI>
ifornia, earned his first dollar as
a cabin boy; after that he had
many ups and downs, finally ac>
quiring wealth in the great West
and returning to Washington as
the representative of his State in
the highest councils Of the ma
tion.-George Barton, in Uncle

eighth Annual Commencement

thanks for same. But we have
one criticism to make: From in
dications the invitation was lith>
,ographcd and was made in Phil,
adelphia, Pennsylvania, and it is
IL very iair sample of work Of its
kind; but the A. & NJ. College is
a Mississippi concern-supported
ia great part by the tax payers
of the State, its a long call from
Starkville to Philadelphia, and
we believe there is not fairs
sized town in the State that has
not got a printing office which
can turn out just as neat job, il
not a neater one, and for proba
bly, considerably less money.

COTTON MARKET
 IS MORE ACTIVE Opening Is Lower But Reaction
 Quickly Follows
PRICES ADVANCE RAPIDLY
Bears Became Buyers With a Rlsh On Reports of Hot Winds Damaging Cotton, and the Close Is Sew
 eral Points Higher.

New York, July 14.-The cotton market opened steady, unchanged to decline of points, and further declined { point or two under a brief interval of local bear pressure, October selling off to 9.22c. The weakness was due to unsatisfactory cables and continued bearish crop reports. But it transpired that sellers were scarce, and any attempt to cover shorts resulted in a quick upturn in prices. The weekly crop report from Washington was allowed to come and go before the bears acted with any show of concern. This proved to be bearish, but the market refused to give way under it, and the pears became anxious bidders
 Early in the afternoon a report reached the floor of the exchange that hot winds had visited the region centered by Hunts vile, and an immediate rusA to cover was the result. Prices moved ID rapidly. The high point of last week was 941 for De- tober This morning that position sold off to 922c, but on the covering demand and with a steady absorption by spot in- terests and of not little improvement in public the price touched ,.46c. 24 points above the low level of the forenoon and closed at 9.45c, representing a net rise of IS points. A feature of the afternoon trading was an expanding interest on the part of the public. The market was fin- ally very steady at a net rise of to IS points chiefly on the new crop positions Sales estimated at 1500Oo bales.
 Receipts at the ports today, 675s, against S437 last yeek and TIPS last year. For the week, so,0o0 bales, agairst 332S7 last week and 10,361 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 435 bales, against 742 last year, and at Houston, 1861 bales, against 23S last year.

Suddenly she was stricken with pain In one of her limbs. MT Rainwater went for a physician at once but before his return she had pass ed away.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, July 14.-(Speeial.)-Th unexpected strength of the market to- day without other than local cause has been remarkable. showing that present prices have discounted fairly the un- broken good crop reports. Rumors 3f outside covering of short sales have been current, but the general demand has been small. Offerings were cor respondngly light and even a moderate demand found a very limited supply. Beyond this there Is little to mention the strength of the market is apparent at present prices and there Is no dis- position to sell till the crop is further along. and primary markets eased un- der the pressure of early receipts.
