Tupelo Athletic Club.

| At a meeting of the Tupelc
Athletic Club on Thursday night,
Nov. 4th, Mr.. Frank Laney was
elected Secretary, and Messrs.
Jas. A. Finley, S. P. Clayton and
DIR. E. NJ. Topp elected on the
Board Of Directors. These men,
together with the other officers
Geo. F. Maynard, S. S. Harris
and d. C. Harkey, will have en-
tire management of the Club for
a term of one year, and they
hope to build the Club to a stan
dard which it should have. II
was decided to allow all who
wished to join this month to dc
so at an initiation fee of 81 so,
which will also be the dues for
one month, but on Dec. 1st the
entrance fee will be increased to
$500. Boys between the ages
of IL years and II years can join
for 1.00-and also ST. 90 is the
amount asked for associate mem.
bers, or those who have an in
terest in the welfare of the Club,
but who have not the time or are
too old to take part in the ath-
letics. The dues per month for
active and associate members
are 81 00-but only so cents for
junior members. They hope to
have roll of $50 by the lst of
January. Basket bali practice
has begun, and they will give a
free game on Friday night,
Nov. 10Th. The Tupelo Athletic
Club is very much in need of a
first-class gymnasium. and they
are working toward this end.
Some time in the near future
they will get up a list of what
they need and will ask the town
to help them out. A good gym
nasium will do, more toward
developing boys into good,
strong, healthy men than any,
thing we can haye, and when
the boys call on you, il you are
at all interested in the welfare
of the young men of the town,
give to them lust as literally as
you can.

Confederate Pension Fund.

The Auditor has mailed to the
various county treasurers war;
rants for the payment OF the
Confederate pensioners. The
list as made up by the auditor
contains 8,647 pensioners and
the total sum to be paid them is
$299, ,889. 40.
The classification and appoint
ment under the act setting aside
this fund for the year is as fol-
lows:
191 First-Class Pensioners at
$125 each.
638 Second Class Pensioners at
$75 each.
65 Third-Class Pensioners
(blind widows) at $75 each.
1868 Fourth Glass (prorated to
soldiers and sailors) at $3.50
each.
SAT Fifth-Class (indigent SER
vants) at s28. 50 each.
3643 Sixth-Class (prorate
widows) at $3.50 each.
From the above list we note
that there are less than 1000 of
the preferred class which are
taken from the manned and
blind. 1t will also be noticed
that those now drawing pensions
who saw service are less than
the widows of their comrades.
Lauderdale county heads the
list with 252 pensioners, Monroe
second with 235 and Lee county
third with 232. Issaquena county
is credited with 8, Tunica s and
Hancock 8. Lee county draws
from the fund the sum of So. 922.
Although the warrants are IN
the hands of the County Treas
urer, the money with which to
take them up will not be avail
able before January 1st. The
amount will be collected from
the tax payers and sent by the
sheriffs to Jackson and from
there returned to the county
treasurers. This will require
60 days time.

A Delightful Entertainment.

Decidedly one of the most
pleasant events of society was
the entertainment of the AS
You Like 1t Club" on last We'd
nesday afternoon by Miss Flea
nor Blair.
On entering the guests were
ushered into the library where
hot chocolate and waters were
served by Misses Jaunita Clifton

brary, parlor and dining room
were thrown open as one, max
ing a spacious room. The hou e
was charmingly decorated in
yellow and white chrysanthe-
NUNS. The dining table being
artistically decorated represent
ing DR.. Cook at the North Pole.
on top of the pole a miniature
flag of the United States was
planted. On the snowy cloth
which foretold the winter season
with its new scenes were the Es-
kimo and his dogs.
The six tables of participants
derived all the pleasure possible
from the interesting game of
'fifty-two Score cards of Els
kimo tied to dainty little snow
balls of cotton made pretty souv-
enirs of the occasion.
The first prize, a beautiful
hand painted plate, was won by
Mrs. E. d. Hood, the consolation,
a large snow ball filled with can
dy, fell to Miss Mystice Stone.
Cream in the form of the Uni
ted States Flag. with cake was
served by Mrs. McGee.
The Blair home is one of the
favorites on the roster Of club
entertainments and Miss Flea
nor made the occasion of We'd
nesday an underscored event on
the calendar of autumn pleas
ures. Aside from the club mem
bers, Miss Blair's hospitality in
cluded number of invited
guests.

Thoroughly conversant with
the law and answering in the
discharge of his duties, Mr..

most acceptable judicial officer.
Along with his many friends, we

from United States Senator Charlie,
W. Fulton, brings gratifying eonfr,
nation of the news at hand a day OF
two ago, in relation to the generous
appropriations to be made for the
mouth OF the Columbia by the emer-
.geney bill in behalf Of the rivers and
harbors Of the country and in default
Of a regular rivers and harbors bill.
1t does not mention the $4,000, for
use upon the river from here to
Portland but that may be because
the Senator deemed that a matter
of concern to the metropolis and not
to US, and is likely to figure in the
concession made to the Columbia.
II is needless to say that the intelli-
gence is appreciated down here, and
that there is a cordial and unani-
nous conviction that had we not got
ten this now, we would have waited
for many another long day for it, and
Are as grateful for the grant as we
ire conscious Of the effective agency
hat wrought it.

THE PORT OF ASTORIA.

There is a quiet, yet very general
idea that it would not be amiss fol
the Port Of Astoria Commission tc
organize: and establish, at least, a
tentative Official status, by which il
would be enabled to counter-act any
aggressive or invasive movement OF
the almighty Port of Portland Com
mission, which seems to have a
statewide road cut out for itself, and
may, by sheer inadvertance, as IT
were, butt in down here before we
are in position to interpose with
necessary authority and potential
reason.
And even if nothing of that sort
happens, It might be iudicious, and
even eficacious, to line up and get
used to the trick of weighing and
disposing of matters and questions
appertaining TO the port. There is
no need of going at it in a whole
sale fashion and spending lot Of
money for the purposes of initiating
the department. II can be done in
quiet, but efficient way, entirely ade-
quate for the proper expression at
the proper time, and for the enforce
ment Of the civic rights we enjoy un-
der the new alignment.
We are not insisting upon it; it
has been talked Of a great deal, and
some wonder has been expressed
that it has not been done before, in
view Of the extraordinary license
given and taken by the people up
the creek" who are never averse to
appropriating any old thing that
happens to be lying loose and not
hedged and guarded. Anyway, it will
do no harm to go as far as expe-
dience demands at the moment and
put ourselves in tangible and effective
shape for any contingencies that may
arise and give substance to one of
the strongest prerogatives we
possess,

IT IS BOUND TO COME.

There are those in this city who
have come to believe that the new
Wienhard-Astoria Hotel will never
be built by its projectors; and grant
ing them ali reasonable leeway for
their conclusion, we must beg to
differ. We hold that the scope of
the investment, and the character Of
the preliminary improvements upon
the property, absolutely preclude so
radical a negation of the enterprise
It is not within the range Of "busi-
ness" nor of men Of affairs such as
are behind this proposition, to aban.
don 50 large a venture, and we
know it will lbe completed within
the nearest possible date, if only in
justification of the extraordinary
and valuable overtures already made.
1t is just as essential today, and just
as promising, as it was when the
matter was initiated. 1t is one Of
the best things that Astoria has to
count on as distinct and compensat-
ing departure in her civic program
of expansion and improvement, and
nothing but the contrary word and
act of those at interest may disturb
our faith in the timely fulflment of
the promise.
