COMPANY MAY NOT


In speaking of the contemplated
visit of the local military company 70
Jackson during the visit of President
Taft. Capt. Beaumont said that at the
present time he did not know wheth-
er the company would attend or not.
The visit will be for only one day and
as there is no appropriation for this
purpose, the boys will have their own
expenses to defray, so far as railroad
fare is concerned, but they will be
given reduced rates and provision will
be made in Jackson for meals, and
it is entirely with the members of the
company as to whether they will go
or not. Several of the enlisted men
have been approached and it appears
that it will be difficult for many of
them to get off.
At the next meeting the matter will
come UP for final discussion and Il
will then be decided just what will
be done about that matter.

INAUGURATION OF
new CAR SERVICE
STREET CARS WILL BE RUNNING
ON cITY's STREETS WITHIN
NEXT FEW DAYS.
ray As You Enter" System to Be in
.Vogue-cars viii Stop Ap.
Preaching Crossings.

Have your change ready" will be
the slogan of the Hattiesburg Traction
Company when the new street car
service is inaugurated which. while
no definite date has been set, will be
done between now and September IL,
unless some wholly unanticipated hitch
shall occur.
That the company will be ready
for business within the next few days
Is evidenced by the fact that hands
were employed today in firing the
boilers to try out the furnaces. The
conductors and motormen also havn
been notified to report for duty next
Tuesday rorning for a few prein-
mary practice runs.
The Have your change ready" sic.
gan is to be the cry because the new
system will inaugurate the custom now
in e.cne in many of the large cities of
the country, to 'pay as you enter." Bv
having their nickels ready, patrons will
obviate the necessity for the conduc.
tor stopping to make change and caus-
ing delay n the service. The
conductor will be stationed on the
front platform to make change for
such passengers as neglect to have
'neir nickels ready, but patrons
can greatly expedite the service.
by having the proper change ready to
hand out when they enter the cars.
A new feature of the new street car
service is that in the future cars will
stop as they approach street cross
ings. instead of stopping on the far
side, as was the custom formerly Pas.
sengers will leave and enter cars
from the front end.
The cars will be equipped with new
motors wherever necessary and motor
experts are now in the city for the
purpose Of making the necessary
changes. Anticipated motors viii be-

MOST PLEASANT and
PROFITABLE OCCASION
Important and Interesting Topics
Discussed BY Able Speakers and a
Feeling Of GoodfelIowship Ptedomi-
nated-Much Good Accomplished.

The third and last of the Get to-
gether picnics" inaugurated by the
business men of Hattiesburg was held
at McCallum yesterday and was quite
as much a success, except in point of
numbers, as the two previous affairs.
The day was ideal, the people enthus-
iastic and sociable and the speakers
caught the spirit of the occasion so
that 1t was as successful from every
standpoint as could be desired. It
was realized that it would be hard to
select another point where so many
farmers could be brought together, as
were gathered at Ideal and Providence
church, so the last one was chosen
so that it would be as convenient
to as many people as possible. The
result was that there were visitors
from Indian Springs, New Augusta,
Manned and McLaurin, covering a
large, though sparsely settled area
of territory.
The picnic grounds were located in
a pine grove-old field pine-a place
which before the war produced the
fleecy cotton, but which fully illus
trates the truth that there is no stand
ing still; that abandoned fields soon
ale reclaimed by nature, which covers
them with mantle Of her own and
Whicr to remove man must paw well
for his negligence. Here was a place
which is capable OF producing every
year crop valued more than the
growth of timber, but which for al
most half century has been idle,
and now has nothing but covering
of scrub pine.
Mayor Donald Speaks.
The program opened with a short.
felicitious address by Mayor Donald,
master of ceremonies, who introduced
Mr. D. P. Meyers, Of McLaurin, who
delivered short but inspiring ad-
dress of welcome. He was responded
to by Rev. A. F. Watkins, pastor Of

TRAMWAY FOR BIG FILL

Method in Work Near
Valentino.

VALENTINE. Neb.. June 26.-(Special)
The new cutoff and bridge that the
Northwestern is building here is taking
shape rapidly, as they have a large force
Of men at work. Several concrete culverts
have been built and one that cost about
500 0 over which there is to be a big
fill, and the method that they are going
to use in making the fill is one that they
use very seldom, as it is very seldom that
they find a place where it is practical to
do so. Two big cables will be stretched
from the top OF one hill to the top OF the
other across the valley, on which a track
will be laid and the small engines and
dump cars will be run out and the dirt
will be dumped down into the valley with
out the use of any trestle work at all.
The cables weigh several thousand pounds
apiece.
