IMPROVEMENT IN
 WATER SYSTEM Meridian Plant Has Made Good
 Proft for the City WATER SUPPLY IS FINE Funerals of Two Well-Known People Occur on sunday-Raymond Clay Has Been Appointed Deputy
 Circuit Court Clerk.
WATER SUPPLY IS FINE

Meridian Miss, July 26-(Special 1-In a report just issued 1t Is shown that the Meridian Water Works company, during the three years that the city has owned and operated the system, has paid all operating expenses and interest on out standing bonds, and has a net profit of $59, ,451. 30. Various improvements in the system are now in course of construc- tion and others are contemplated for the autumn The latest improvement is the addition of a mammoth settling basin at the pumping station. One of the inn provements contemplated for the near future is an additional big reservoir, one that can be held in reserve. This new reservoir is to be connected with the pumping station by a main as large as the one that now runs from the present reservoir to the city, distance of three miles. It is proposed that the new reser- voir be located just this side of the one now in use in order that the same springs may supply the water It is said that the supply from the springs is fully sufficient to keep up a second reser- voir. Meridian's water supply is the pride of all the citizens as it has been de- clared by various chemists to be as pure as spring water can be.

Ball, who died Satur- day afternoon as the result of an opera tion for appendicitis, was held yesterday afternoon, the interment being made in Magnolia cemetery.

DR., H. w. Wiley, the conserva,or OF

and seeing that roast spring chicken
was the headliner on the menu, he Or
dered it. When it was brought on he
examined it carefully and then call
ing the waiter to his side said in a
voice that carried throughout the car:
This chicken has been in cold stor
age eight months, three weeks, four
days and five hours. 1t has Bonassa

"YOur markets are all right" sal

"Your markets are all right" said
the Briton, amid the stalls of venison,
dollhouse peaches, turkeys, California
strawberries, black bear and Florida
corn. But our markets at this season
are full of pheasants. We've got you
there For all their extravaganza, your
millonaires won't lay out the money
to preserve the birds, eh?"
The New Yorker laughed.
ooh, won't they?" said he. go over
to Long Island, go to the Seward
Webb place in Vermont, and you will
find as good coverts as any in Eng
land; as good shots too, and as good
bags. Your English landlords sell
their pheasants after a shoot to mar
hetmen. Thus they get back some of
the breeding expenses. But our Amer
lean land owners scorn such petty
economy The pheasants shot on their
land are all given away to hospitals,
to the poor, to tenants and to friends"

An Interesting Trip to Italy

many tourists Not far from this
church is the house Of Michael An.

and Santa Maria del Carmine.
In the old Guidi Palace lived Eliz-

Guidi Windows" and "Aurora

billiard, Hawthorne, and Lowell.
Florence has always been a city OF
books and scholars, George Elliot

Romola and the novel is so correct in
descriptions that it is one of the best
guides in visiting the city.
In the beautiful protestant ceme-
terry Just outside the old walls of

Walter Savage Lander, lisa Blagden,

Travellers who have been "every-
where" pronounce the Bay of Naples
absolutely unrivaled among the
scenes of the earth. An hour before
Naples comes in view we see the two
rocky isles of Capri and Ischia, beau
tiful enough to be at the portals of
heaven. In the valley of Capri are
the finest Vineyards of Italy. The
peasant women are engaged in MAX
ing straw braid for fans and other
articles for baZaars.
The Germans have built many
beautiful villas and the isle is be-
coming favorite retreat from the
icy winters of the north.
AS we near Naples the eye takes in
the entire crescent shape of the bay.
Away in the haZy distance towers
Vesuvius while to the lett we see Sor-
rento Posillipo, and Amalf, among
many other towns until the eye rests
upon Naples. We are now looking
upon scenes where the heroes of the
AEneid of Virgil won glory. At Ma

Against a combination of circumstances
calculated to hurl a human being into the
darkest depths of despair, a little mongre
dog worked out his own salvation In the
police station with sagacity and complete
ness.

Neighbors complained about him to the
police with the result that Tige and his
master were summoned to appear before
Judge Crawford.
This they did, that is, his master APP
peared in court and testified that he had
tied the dog out In the police stables and
thai he then and there surrendered him
TO be killed. To this several large and
capable policemen also testified, having
seen Tige tied to a wheel OF the hurry-up
wagon.
This was all right with the Judge and
the master was allowed to depart in
peace, leaving his faithful friend TO the
mercy Of the stalwart guardians Of the
law, who proceeded artillery in timber to
carry out the edict Of the court in spirit
and lstter.
They had reckoned without Tige. how
ever. and when they arrived upon the
scene, Tige had departed hence, Hanging
