Institution.
Especial to THE T1MEsl.

Indiana Harbor. Ind, Oct 91.-F. H.
Erickson, former cashier of the local
State bank, yesterday moved to Geneva,
H., where he has accepted a position
as cashier and one-fifth owner of the
State bank in that city. Mr.. Erick-
sons acceptance of the Geneva posi-
ton comes as a surprise-yet a glad
one-to his many friends in the Har-
Dor, as it was generally believed that
he would enter into the engineering
business with a brother.
The new position, however, offered
unusual advantages, and Mr.. Erickson
was given a position on the board OF
directors, holding $4,000 of the CAPT.
tai stock of the bank. The institution
is one of the most stable in Illinoi.
and Mr.. Erickson will no doubt meet
with the success his energies and pro.
gressive spirit warrants.

instead of this city having eight alder

with one commissioner at the head OF
each department ~
: For the past two months there has
been a-friendly but neverless heated
campaign. the advocates of the change
being more active by far than its op.
ponents, but the opponents doing much
quiet and effective work all over the
city. Both sides claim decided vic
tory at the polls, but to an observer
the chances seem to rather favor the
success of the advocates of the new

Good Roads.

The newspapers OF the state are just
now having great deal to say about
the always pertinent and interesting
subject of good roads. Mississippi has
made remarkable progress along many
lines during the past several wears, but
very few counties have seriously en-
tered upon the task OF providing ade-
quate public highways
South Mississippi has been espe-
cially negligent, perhaps for the reason
that our citizens have been too much
engrossed in other affairs to give the
subject shat consideration which it
deserves
And there is no county anywhere
: that needs road improvement more
than Forrest, OF which the city of Hat.
tiesburg forms a large and important
part.
Hattiesburg has more miles of
paved streets than any other city in
the. state, but many of the suburban
streets are poorly improved and car :
Z Iessly kept. The county SUPERVISOR
have probably hesitated to undertake
road improvement on a large scale OF
this account, reasoning with some logi
that it would be useless to improve tn
rural highways without, sufficient al
proaches to the paved streets of tn
business district.
The News understands well enoug
thai 1t is out of the question for tb
city of Hattiesburg TO pave all of it
residence streets now. or even thos
leading into the country highway
but they can at least be put in fai
condition, ana this much should b
done without delay.
With good streets leading to the ca
porate-limits and connecting with tn
country roads, it is probable that III

to take up the work and push it in a

The newspaper men of Hattiesburg
did all in their power to contribute
to the. pleasure and entertainment of
their editorial brethren during the
late press convention Messrs. Edgar
G. Harris and Walter Hurt, of the
Daily News with their corps of assist
ants in both offices were untiring in
their efforts to see that the visitors
received every attention and were
made to feel welcome, and no draft
was ever made ON their time or cour-
tesy, so far as we knew or heard that
was not promptly and fully honored.
The editor of the Leader desires to
acknowledge publicly the many cour-
