Interesting Letters from Our
Regular Correspondents. n
Martin

The writer attended recently an
inspiring meeting in the Senate
Chamber IN Jackson. Misses Kate
and lean Gordon, of New. Orleans,
were the speakers in favor of the
"Child Labor Law and woman
suffrage. The former made an ell
oquent plea against s'taxation with
out representation and the injus-
tice of government without the
consent of the governed" She
said that when, several years ago,
they wanted moneyfor the enforce
ment of sanitary laws for the ex-
termination of those flying disease
hyperdermics, the mosquitoes, a
hurried census showed that of
twenty-five millions of dollars
worth of property in New Orleans
fifteen millions were vested IN
women. That then the news
papers commenced throwing
bouquets to the women. The
power 10 vote IN municipal
affairs was accorded them, and
they voted two millions of dollars
for the betterment and salvation of
the city that arose and called them
blessed, Women have never
abused the modern right to own
their own property. 1t is scarcely
logical to insist that they will not
exercise wisely and well their po-
litical privileges.
Miss Alice Decell has been for a
few days the guest of her aunt
Mrs. F. ]. Decell.
Messrs. w. H. Tharp and James
L. Loveiace, of Jackson have been
selling shoes here in spite of the
boil weevil.
Mrs. John Decell of Raymond,
was the guest for night of Mrs.
Montgomery.
Mr.. 7, P. Herlong of Herman.
vile, was here Tuesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank B. Fox,
with their little son, are spending
few weeks with their mother,
Mrs. Montgomery.
Messrs. Will Malloy of Gloster,
]. L. Longinatti, of Jackson and
w. w. Tabor of Natchez, have
been doing business here this week,
1t is truthfully said that sit
would be far better for the people
of one block to share common
cuisine, conducted scientifically,
than to struggle along, as at pres
ent, contracting debts and dyspep-
sia. 1t is impossible for an ordi-
naryfamily to secure the services of
a first class chef, but it would be
easy enough for the people of
block, where every one is now
spending money ON an inefficient
cook, to combine and get the SER
vices of a master of the culinary
art.
Provisions bought by the guam
tity would be cheaper and the
lives of women easier.

"The New Orleans board of
health, insists the Knoxville SEN
tinel, ''is preparing to require all
owners of residence proper
tY to screen all doors and
windows to keep out flies,
the carriers of typhoid and
other disease germs, and mosqui-
toes. Screens and screen cloth are
SO cheap that the expense will not
be felt as a hardship and the board
of health feels that measures
against flies are as urgent and as
easily justified as regulation of
milk or efforts to stop spitting
The spring cleanup will not be
complete without screens, and the
sooner they are put in the better.
Screen your doors and windows
and keep the screens carefully
closed. It will save doctor bills. 2

FIRE:
Broke Out in the Pantorium Occupied
by MeSsrs. NeeSe & Erb.
Stock DESTROYED.

Messrs. Neese & Erb went into
partnership, rented the old Henry
Hickman building, and after consid
erable remodeling, painting, papering
and decorating, they went to Omaha,
purchased a stock of confectionery
goods, and was placing them on the
shelves ana in the show cases when
some gasoline they We're using caught
fire. The fire bell called out the work
ers and by herculean effort kept
the fire confined to the house altho
the Jacobsen livery barn was within
two feet OF it. The old building inside
is a mass of charred lumber ana ruin
ed for occupancy There was about $50
worth of goods saved, while several
hundred went up in smoke. Mr.. Neese
had his hands and arms severely
burned. We trust the boys will have
courage enough to again go into the
business, and hope for better results.

ANDREWS BROTHERS
A Home Of Comfort, Happiness
And Contentment. Built OF
Small Things But Profitable.

1t was pleasure to be shown over
the pretty hillside home of Messrs.
Nathan and William Andrews q few
DAYS ago and see what large scale,
fruit and vegetable farming can be
carried on, on small farm. The long
beds of strawberries had Just been un-
covered from the winters frost and
looked rich and rank in foliage with
an occasional blossom bursting into
life promising to mankind rich re-
ward for its constant care Several
rows of new strawberry plants have
been added to the older beds this
spring and they too look in the
strawberry of condition" Passing
on to the blackberry thicket we found
the new canes of last year, those that
does the bearing this year, onl, await
ing their season of fruitage when they
will respond to their rich mulch and
cozy, protected corner on the hillside.
The orchards, both old and Young are
nicely trimmed and promises yield,
above the average, of rich juicy fruit.
The large beds of asparagus are send
ing out their dainty, delicious heads
as the first rich vegetable of the sea-
son toinvigorate mans systom, from
a hay and straw winters diet" AL
tho we'll prepared for the poultry bus
iness they did not find that industry
profitable; saying that poultry busi-
ness and fruit EARNINGS did not go
well together. The hot house was fill
ed to its capacity with heavy luxur-
liant growth of tomato plants reset in
small boxes ready for the gardener,
whether you want one or q thousand
they have them for you.
They deliver their fruit and plants
In season at the store of e. d. Cotton
every day. Then, should an idle min
ate strike their abode they keep sever
al cords of wood in their yard in the
rough, to work up for sale to the
townfolk during the summer and fall
season. BY the constant and watchful
care OF the brothers outside and the
neat aud scrupulously clean interior,
kept 80 by q sister, this little farm is
responsive in wealth and can we'll be
called &C A Paradise On Earth"

There was a girl in our town.
And she was wondrous wise.
She didn't squeeze and pinch her

And thus reduce her size.
She let the old piano rest,

And learned to roast and fry and
broil
And learned to make stew,
We know you'd love to meet her
And you would love her how
We hate to disappoint you, but
You see, she's married now.
