States read paper at Rio de Janiero be-
fore the chamber of commerce of that
city in which he said Brazil supplies
Arabia with coffee. which IS then supplied
to the United States as abian grown
and that coffee sent to Holland from
Brazil comes into the United States as the
Java product.
There is room for belief i'm the truth Of
what the minister says. especially as it is
fact that United States imports from
Arabia or the Dutch East Indies are
steadily on the decrease.
Next TO Brazil the country that sends
the most coffee TO the United States is
Venezuela Uncle Sans imports from that
country being about one-tenth what they
are from Brazil
Coffee derives its name from the city
of kaffa, in Abyssinia, in which country il
is believed the coffee tree originated.
If left to grow in its natural state
coffee plant will grow into a shrub four
teen to eighteen feet high, having then a
long slender trunk without branches on
the lower part. The plant has thin and
numerous roots, which grow deep into the
earth. having one central root going
straight down. Upon the length of this
depends the height attained by the plant.
When cultivated, the coffee plant is not
usually allowed to grow more than six
feet high in sandy soil. or eight feet high
in rich soil
The restriction is imposed because when
the tree grows above that height the diff
fculties of cultivating it increase.
When the leaves fall there issue from
the small stems groups of seeds, at first
yellow and coarse to the touch. When
they ripen they begin to redden until they
become the coffee berries
Negroes do the work of the picking and
the roasting is done in this country.
1t is safe to say that no feature of the
tariff law will be closer watched than the
actor on the subject of coffee. for this
is important to nearly every American.

OCTOBER EIRST.

October first 1909, will be Ions
remembered day in Hattiesburg. There
was the largest crowd here that da,
ever seen in Hattiesburg before.
A crisp October morning warmed
into beautiful autumn day. TIL
crowd-and it was a crowd-were jol
ly, good-natured, sober, well-behaved
and happy; they were busy shopping
trading, and seeing things all day, and
by night the great display of fireworks
lit up the heavens. The weather. the
crowd, the program, were all worthy
the great occasion celebrating the
three big events in the history of Hat.
tiesburg, and the return of Prosperity
to South Mississippi.
1t kept the hotels, restaurants and
lunch counters busy, but the people
were all fed and none went away
hungry. The program was well ar
ranged and faithfully carried out, ana
the great crowd went home satisfied.
Hattiesburg did what it promised; it re
deemed every pledge made; it did not
hold anybody up; it did not rob any
body with exorbitant charges; it treat.
ed everybody Hospitality and kindly.
The crowd were the guests of the PEG.
pie of Hattiesburg, and they were
cordially, Hospitality, royalty received
and delightfully."- entertained.
And Hattiesburg, "Hustling Hatties
burg" is the talk of all South Missis.
ippi, for the way it does things"
More people know Hattiesburg to-
day than ever knew it before. The
merchants and business men of Hat
tiesburg know more people who live
in this section of the state, than they
ever knew before. It was a great lad
vertising" day for Hattiesburg, and It
was great pleasure to Hattiesburg
to have and entertain so many fair
women and brave men. God bless the
country and the climate that grows
such men and women.
Now, why not make October |, "the
day We celebrate?' Why not have
it regular set occasion? 1t is a beau
tiful season of the year; it is Just the
beginning of the fall trade; it is the
natural time for the millinery and
dry goods openings Hattiesburg
ought to open wide it's gates at least
once every year Why not let it be
known and generally understood for
eact recurring year, that October First
is 1.-THE day we celebrate"

no man can measure or compute.

noblest work of God lives close to

LIFE OF A PIMPLE
Compilations Are Cleared and Pimples Disappear Overnight Without Trouble

The dispensers of poslam. a new skin discovery, ask that notice be given that no one is urged to purchase it without flrst obtaining an experimental pack age. Those who have tried it will find that the fifty-cent box, on sale at Jen- n1e HamlltOn's Pharmacy and all drug stores, is sufficient to cure the worst cases of eczema, where the surface affected is not too large The itching ceases on first application. It will also cure acne, letter, blotches, scaly scalp, hives, barbers and every other form of itch, including itching feet. Being flesh-colored and containing no grease, the presence of poslam on ex- posed surfaces, such as the face and hands, is not perceptible. Water and soap cannot be used in connection with 1t, as these irritate and prolong skin troubles. sometimes even causing them.
 As to the experimental package of poslam, it can be had free of charge by mail of the Emergency Laborator- 1es, g West Twenty-fifth Street, New York. It alone is sufficient to clear the complexion overnight, and to rid the face of pimples in twenty-four hours.

Death and Snuff.

A certain Margaret Wilson of West minister, who was an inveterate snuff taker, enjoined that a quantity of Scotch snuff should be placed In her coffin. She also ordered that the ar engagements connected with her funer al should be as follows: "Six men to be my bearers who are known to be the greatest snuff takers in the parish of St. James, Westminster Instead of mourning, each to wear a snuff colored beaver hat, which desire may be bought for the purpose and given to them. Six maidens of my old ac- quaintance to bear my pail, each to carry a box filled with the best Scotch snuff, to take for their refreshment as they go along" Snuff was also to be thrown on the threshold of de- ceased's dwelling before the cortege passed out, snuff was to be strewn on the ground at every twenty yards in advance of the coffin, and the officiat- ing clergyman's fee was to be propor- donate to the quantity of snuff he consumed during the ceremony.-Lon- don Globe.

A Wedding Decoration,

Whether 1t was a mistake or a joke or simply an example of bad taste fs question that is still puzzling most of the passengers. But no matter about that. It certainly was a floral masterpiece. Full four feet 1t stood from the ground, in the form of a cross. Roses white and roses red composed the body of the cross, and dainty white blossoms and green leaves formed the trimmings. In the center the word Peace" was spelled out in rosebuds.
 Everybody in the car admired tha offering, and when the boy set it down on the floor all leaned forward to examine it 1Sore closely. At length one old gentleman stood up and read Justed his glasses in order to get a better look at it.
 That is a mighty pretty posy you've got there" he said. "Who, may I ask, is dead?"
 The boy giggled.
 Nobody t I know of,' he said. 'This aint for funeral; it's for a wedding"
 The old gentleman sat down heav- fly.
 Good Lordw he said What idiot ever ordered Peace inscribed on a wedding decoration"
 The rest of the passengers smiled, and many of them, being married, wondered as we'll, but nobody ventur- ed an explanation.-New York Times.
