ROLL OF HONOR
TO Be PUBLISHED
List of Those Who Contributed To Big
Celebration To Be Made Public
Later.

1t is a practical certainty that when
the list of those who contributed to
the Prosperity Celebration fund is
made public, it will be found that Hat
tiesburg can boast that there are no
Mossbacks here, and that every citi-
zen is public spirited. The committee
on finance may overlook some indi-
vidual but it is almost sure that be-
fore October first the individual SO
sighted will take the trouble to send
check, so that his name may be
inscribed on this roll of honor On
such occasion as this. it is not nee
essary for few to stand al the ex-
pcnge, for where there are so many
/ pubic spirited citizens, all working
/ for the same end, the pull is so easy
and the burden so light that no one
feels that he is overloaded.
/ 1t is this spirit that is necessary to
make the waste places bloom in South
Mississippi, and it is that spirit that
has put six story buildings, splendid
churches, magnificent hotel in Hat
tiesburg. The same spirit found ey
preston in the beautiful new station
and in the completion of the Traction
system in the face of difficulties re
sulting from the panic. 1t is th'
same spirit that has resulted in tn,
city taking hold of Hamper Park, ant
taking the lead in having one of tn
largest AMI most magnificent municl
pal play grounds in the state. A
this is pertinent to a Prosperity Gels
bration, and Hattiesburg is to have tn
first sister towns and cities will 500
have such celebration of their ow
and. when they do, this city will re
ioice with them and help them pull
off in the right kind of style
In the meantime, subscribe to thi
fund, so that you will feel that 70
have had a very important part I
Tie celebration, and find out if you
friend and neighbor has overlooke

FIREWORKS DISPLAY WILL BE THE
BEST EVER seen IN MISSISSIPPI
CONNER'S SPEECH
HIT The NAIL
Splendid Talk BY Local Business Man
Which Is Still Bearing
Fruit.

The mass meeting at the Court
house last Monday night war marked
by one of the best boosting speeches
ever heard in Mississippi, when Mr..
w. M. Conner, fresh from his trip to
the North and West, told his hearers
why he knew that Mississippi had all
the advantages claimed in other
states, with some advantages added.
He was also enabled to make plain why
the opportunities of Mississippi are
being neglected, and said that all that
was needed was advertising to bring
the attention of the thousands of
home-seekers to this state, the garden
spot of the south. If there was any
doubt in the minds of any one that
South Mississippi was prosperous
enough to stand a celebration, Mr..
Conner dispelled that doubt.
The fact is the mire heard and the
moe read about ether states tho more
are the people satisfied that South
Mississippi has more reasons for be-
lieving and knowing that prosperity is
here than any other section of the
South, and the booster" optimistic
spirit that is permeating South Miss
issippi is going to bring thousands OF
people into this territory to look into
our resources; and there is no event
that is going to attract more atten
; ton than the Prosperity Celebration.
, In the Northwest people are paying
enormous prices for lands which de
pend on big syndicates to furnish then
: water, and water is going to waste al
' over South Mississippi. The same il
: true in parts of Texas, and in no in
j. starce is the land any more productiv,
= than the best lands here. That Soutl
= Mississippi has prosperous conditions
where ever the farmer has farmet
like he should is proved on ever.
/ hand, and by this celebration, thi
t section is going to tell the world jus
Il how we regard our country and invii
S people to come and see for then
9 selves. Boost the Prosperity Celebrf
l. ton and help South Mississippi.

p SreGt Factor.

1t has been shown that the Dallas
anu Fort Worth Interurban Railway
has been a great factor in building
I'D both cities and that each have adj
vantages which have been the means
OF attraott;;n- the best class Of people
from all over the country. Here in
South Mississippi, the pepole only be-
ginning to appreciate what the future
holds in store for them, if they will
only Utilize their resources. Fort
Worth has become the great packing
center of that section.
Here in South Mississippi, when
the possibilities of raising cattle
sheep and hogs have been developed
there will be a demand for an estab-
lishment that will butcher and refrig
crate the meat not only for this coun
try. but with easy access to the ports
which are the nearest the Panama
Canal.
This section will be the most ad
vartareous place in the South for snct
a great industry. 1t will come, bu
the section which develops the mos
rapidlv will be the most certain t,
reap the greatest reward, and there
IS nothing which will stimulate thu
development OF this magnificent ter
ritory more than an interurbai
line between this city and Laurel.

Would Be Sure to Result in Tremendous Development OF
Country Between Haiesburg and the Metrop-
oils Of Jones County
WILL CREATE MOST
MEMORABLE sight

Now that the Hattiesburg Traction
Company is operating their lines sue
cessfully, there is a renewed interest
in the proposition to build line which
will connect Ellisville and Laurel with
this city.
In the very nature of things the
center. of population in South Missis-
sippi will be in that part of the terri
tory to which Laurel marks one limit
and Hattiesburg the other. The
building of an interurban line between
the two cities would result in ire
mendious development OF all the coun-
try between them and each would
reap great benefits.
The situation in Hattiesburg is very
much like St. Paul and Minneapolis
pallor ovid Enrt Worth, Davenport, ia.
and Moline, Ill.,. Council Bluffs and
Omaha. lnese examples prove tbs
pre't ~oreih1itios in a territory which
is to be developed, and where there
are two good healthy centers inspired
by a desire to keep up the modern
spirit OF development

FRAGRANCE FROM The
LAVENDER FIELDS

Ono Ct tho minor hGrveets that
promises well is that of the lavender
fields. | have seen some flourishing
crops in the Hitchin neighborhood
today.
Comparatively few know of this
quaint Hertfordshire town as an inl-
portant lavender growing centre, yet
it has grown the sweet old herb (Which
the Romans called lavandula when
they used it to scent their baths), has
distilled the flowers and sent their ex-
tract into all parts Of the world for
more than a century.
The Hitchin district had less rain
and more sunshine than the London
area during the month which has just
closed and consequently the long, trim
rows Of lavender plants in their dusky
green look strong and healthy. The.
are beginning to show their flowe
buds and there is every likelihood o
an abundant yield at cutting time
which will be from three to fou
weeks hence.
At cutting time people come in fror
miles around to inhale the sweetness
of the fields, and when the distillin
begins its fragrance of lavender
borne on the wind two miles or NOR
from the town.
The flowers are put into the sti
| with the fresh bloom of their matu
ity on them, and from six pounds I
such flowers 9boVt half m ounce I
oil is extracted.-London Daily Mail.

FAMILIAR FACES
Are REAPPEAR|NG
In South Mississippi and Hattiesburg
After Trying other Lands Farm
err Citizens Return.

Old familiar faces are reappearing
in Hattiesburg and South Mississippi.
When the panic came there were
many who had heard of the wonderful
things in Texas and Oklahoma, and
some of them silently packed their
household effects and silently stole
away. Others made trips for the pur-
pose of viewing those lands Of promise.
They Went; They Saw; They Came
Back.
Tie fact is that the great things
heard about those countries is only
! the loud voice of the" Booster" carried
on the wings of publicity. Every state
in the Union is blessed with advant-
ages and some of them know how to
present those advantages 30 that they
| will echo, re-echo and resound until
! they get the people to appreciate it.
: The people of this section who went
and tried it and came back here, are
mighty glad Some of them have
found that South Mississippi just now
has about two advantages where they
can find one in Texas. The mills here
are starting again and that gives
labor plenty to do. South Mississippi
has crops that would cause the great
est rejoicing over the greatest part o
Texas and the most of Oklahoma
for those states have had one of thei
periodical drouths, followed by thu
hot, scorching siroccos, and thes'
states own papers admit that it is al
most a calamity in parts of those com
monwealhs. One citizen of western
; Oklahoma writes that there has bee
but one rain from November to tn
first of this month, and it was the
: too late to raise anything which woul
l take care of the stock in winter.
t Let the resident of South MISSISSIPPI
t look about him and see if there
} anything wrong about saying tha
. there is prosperity in our midst jus
? now. and when he has made the SUI
= vey, let him write to his friends an
4 tell them to meet him at Hattiesbur

new CHURCHES
Two Beautiful Edifices of Recent Con
struction Are Well Worthy of Visi
tors Attention.

1t is expected that everyone who
lives in HattiesburS will constitute
themselves a committee to point olt
the things South Mississippi is cele-
brating and some that are not down
on the official program.
Two buildings which will interest
hundreds of strangers are the two
new church buildings which also are
typical of the South Mississippi Spirit.
On Bay street the stranger may see the
magnificent Presbyterian Church,
built during the panic, a monument to
the energy and enterprise on the part
| of its members, who, while not the
strongest in the point of numbers,
! have kept up the good work in spite
oi many disoouras ments.
| BY walking a short distance up

nificent church structure, the First
Methodist, typifying the same spirit
that is animating this celebration, the
spirit of the age, progress, eterna

Forty Numbers Including Several Gorgeous Set Pieces On One
Of the Most Elaborate Programs Ever Devised-Wil
Be a Marvellous Spectacle
HATT|ESBURG MAY
Be PACKING CENTER

The exhibit of fireworks which has
been provided for the South Mississip-
pi Prosperity Celebration next Friday
will without doubt, be the most elab-
crate ever displayed in the state, as II {
will be an exhibition that will be
worth travelling miles to see.
There are unthinking people who
do not favor spending money in that
way, but the entertainment COMMITTEES
was convinced that there was no way
whereby money could be better spent
to bring about the genuine celebration
spirit than fireworks, and they de-
cided to provide display that would
be long remembered by the people Of
South Mississippi
In orler to insure something first
class, the committee took the matter
up with the leading manufacturers OF
fireworks in Chicago, telling them
what was wanted and the result was
that they submitted program which.
met with the unanimous approval Of
the entertainment committee. When
the details of the program came up
before the executive committee, there
was a unanimous approval of the pro-
gram submitted for the fireworks and
all may feel sure that this feature OF
the Prosperity Celebration alone win
be sufficient reason for everybody
in South Mississippi making arrange
ments so that they can stay and see
it.
An Inspiring Sight.
There is nothing more inspiring
than a grand display of fireworks, and
nothing that arouses more enthusiasm.
and when the visitors on October first
see this magnificent display, which
will last at least two hours, we feel
sure that they will feel that the money
the different rockets provided for the
bombardment, there will be a numbeI
t of set pieces which viii be most ap
propriate, one especially, the picture
5 of a well known South Mississippi

Billy Taft loved to go visiting.
One of the most delightful trips
made during the summer was to
Millbury, Massachusetts. Il e
William Howard Taft, while his
mother lived, spent many happy days
"visiting folks back East. Near
thu public square and the bandstand
is located the old home with its stately
Corinthian pillars and neat grounds
and shrubbery-a picturesque setting
for New England home in the typ
ical architecture Of Colonial and
Revolutionary days, Here the
mother to whom he was so devoted
passed away while he was making
his tour of the world. 1t was sad
farewell to the great diplomat-still
her boy--as they parted that night
in MiIlbury. As the old gate clicked.
he looked back, tears streaming down
his cheeks, for he knew he would
never look upon his mothers face
AGAIN. But duty called. He had
pledged himself to open Congress in
the Philippines, and people who
had learned to trust him locked for
ais coming. Even in times of peace,
