CONFIRMED PROOF
Residents of Port Gibson Cannot
Doubt What Has Been Twice
Proved.

In gratitude for complete relief
from aches and pains of bad backs

thousands have publicly recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills. Res
idents of this vicinity who so testi-
fed years ago, now say their cures
were permanent. This testimony
doubly proves the worth of Doan's
Kidney Pills to Port Gibson kidney
sufferers.

Millions for mississippi.

Mississippi will receive million:
for Christmas, and Congressman
Benz. G. Humphreys will perform
the gracious role of Santa Claus
and make the distribution.
He got into the congressional
appropriation game early and ear
nestly, and made himself strong
before the proper commission.
The result is that our sister state
will receive the benefit of an ap-
preparation for river improvement
of S4,375,ooo. This is the largest
appropriation everallowed South
ern state for the improvement of
its inland waterways at one time.
That it has been allowed IN this
instance is largely due to Congress-
man Humphreys, who presented
the necessities of his state in such
a way that it was impossible to ig-
more the petition which has been
filed. OF the entire amount ap.
propriated, $4,000, 900 will be de-
voted to the revetment of the banks
of the lower Mississippi river.
The amount has not yet been al
lowed, but it has been recommen-
ded, and there is every assurance
that it will be allowed, for there is
no defined opposition to the ap-
preparation.
The remaining amount will be
devoted to making the Big Sun
flower river a navigable stream.
Congressman Humphreys is
of the, rivers and harbors
committee, aud has shown himself
TO be an active memberl when he
can send back to his constituents a
Christmas present figuring up in
the hemlllions.-Commercial Appeal.

A Conference Romance.

The ninety-sixth annual session
of the Mississippi Conference
which closed here Monday, while
bent on business religious, was not
without its romance. Rev. E. L.
Whidden, who last year served
the Rocky Springs charge, was a.
mong the young preachers in at
tendance. While here the fates
decreed that he should meet Miss
Mary Ratcliffe, one of Brookhaven's
prunettes, and on both sides it
proved to be case of sslove at first
sight"
The result was, that on Tues
day night, before leaving for his
appointment at Walnut Grove,
Miss, the young preacher had per-
suaded Miss Radcliffe to hereafter
share life's joys and sorrows with
him, and calling in the kind Offices
of Rev. H. M. Ellis, at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. T.C. Ratcliffe, they were duly
united in holy wedlock. Brook.

SUCCESSFUL wEEvIL POIsor
Said to Have Been Discovered by
La. Crop Pest Commission.

Said to Have Been Discovered by
La. Crop Pest Commission.
The New Orleans papers of Mon
day contained an account of bull
letion shortly to be issued by Prof.
Eilsos Newell of the La. CROP
Pest Commission at Baton Rouge
relative to the use of arsenate of
lead as a successful poision for the
boil weevil, when properly applied
early in spring. The article says
in part:
"A long list of experiments, in
different parts of the State are de-
scribed in detail. All were so ar
ranged that ihe production of cot
ton trea,ed with powdered arsenate
of lead in a proper manner could be
accurately compared with that of
the same kind of cotton not treated.
III some experiments the cotton
production was more than doubled
by the intelligent use of powdered
arsenate of lead. In others the
margin of profit was small but a
definite, unquestionable profit
from the use of the poison was OBJ
tanned in twelve experiments out of
thirteen. The average increase in
the crop where the poison was used
was II per cent. The average pro-
duction of the cotton. all expert
ments which was treated with the
poison. was 673 pounds of seed
cotton per acre. The average pro-
duction of all similar cotton, not
poisoned, was 3o2 pounds to the
acre.
1.-THE bulletin makes 1t clear that
success does not depend alone upon
the use of this poision. AS much.
or more, depends upon the manner
of application to the cotton plants.
The amount applied. the time of
application and the carefulness
with which the work Is done all go
towards determining whether the
use Of the powder is success or a
failure. Applications of the pow
dered lead arsenate made. for ex-
ample, by busting the poison unto
the cotton from sack, as is done
in poisoning the leaf worm with
Paris green, always prove to be
failures. The authors think they
have unearthed a new principle in
the application of insecticides. of
particularly in the application of
this poision for the boil weevil
The applications, in all the expert
ments, were made with dusting
guns, machines which force the
powder into the terminal buds of
the cotton plant with a powerful
blast of air. BY this means the
poision is made to reach many of
the feeding places of the boil wee-
vii that could not be reached by
any other means. !"

Tobacco Culture.


The following article was writ
ten for the Reveille by man who
has lived in the tobacco section of
our country therefore knows wsat
he is talking about:
The time has fully come IN
many sections of the south where,
hitherto, cotton has been the chief
product, where farming must be
carried on, not merely by new
methods, but when the crops must
be diversified. This is generally
understood and conceded. The
only question now concerns what
can be produced with profit. The
land, the most fertile and produc-
tive, is here; the sunshine with its
uplifting hand is here; the rain
cloud with its fertile showers is
here; the capital aud the labor,
with Drawn and muscle, are here;
the only question is, what to raise?
Cattle and hogs and numerous
other products incident to fine ag-
ricultural sections are profitable.
But one other thing that can be
raised with profit is tobacco. This
can be raised in Claiborne county
just as it is raised in sections OF
Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and
North Carolina. To certain sec
tions of these states tobacco is
what cotton has been to many sec
tions of the south. Besides, these
states produce some cotton. To-
bacco is a substantial crop. Its
cultivation has been followed up
with scientific methods which, in
deed, have put it upon a substan-
tial basis as an agricultural prod
uct. 1t assures good returns. 1t
is as good as gold.
Then, too, the market for tobac-
CO is increasing and widening with
the course of the sun. Its shipped
tosall parts of the world. Tons of
it are sold in the far east annually.
The consumption of tobacco is
something marvellous. 1t is a pay
ing product.
In the tobacco sections of the
above named states one sees to-
bacco growing, and also some cot
ton, corn, and peas; and when the
harvest season ends, these farmers
have several products for the mark
cts, instead of only one. He has
tobacco, cotton, hay and, ordinar-
lily, cattle and hogs.
Judging from observation, it may
be safely said, that if the farmers
in Claiborne county, with their fer
tile soil and salubrious climate,
will plant tobacco, they will find
themselves in such circumstances
this coming fall that they will
scarcely know there is such a thing
as the boil weevil. Let one plant
cotton, but at the same time plant
tobacco-and corn, and raise hay,
cattle and hogs, and within few
brief years that one will be far
more substantially fixed, and hap
pier than by clinging to cotton
alone.
By all means try tobacco. Give
it chance.
