they bend their dignity they win break
their decorum. They would wait for
an Introduction before throwing out
life line to drowning man. We do
not say there are any such people in
Hattiesburg. But there are such peo-
pie; and if any of them are in Hat
tiesburg, they ought to be taught bet
ter tomorrow, by the good example of
others.
Let tomorrow be a gala day; a
good fellowship day; a day of open
handed, open-hearted, southern hos
pitality. The officers, of course, will
be alert and vigilant, and handle with
out ceremony or gloves any man who
mistakes the liberties of the occasion
for license to be rude or boisterous.
But aside from the few who may
abuse the occasion let Hattiesburg
people treat all others as their guests
tell them the program; when and
where to go; point them the way;
make them glad, not sorry that they
came, and they will go back to their
homes singing the praises of Hatties-
burg, the Queen City of Southern Mis-
sissippi.

A HERO IN DARK DAYS.

The Coffeeville Courier says
Mayor J. d. Donald, of Hattiesburg
is mentioned as a candidate for gov
ernor. 1t was our fortune to know
DR.. Donald some years ago and to
be intimately associated with him in
work which tried both heart and
brain, and if he lacks any of the true
principles of manhood, we failed to
find it out Should he be elected and
bring to the exercise of the duties of
the office the ability, energy and cour
age which made him a hero in those
dark days of '9S, Mississippi will have
a governor of whom she may well be
proud
The dark days" referred to was the
days in 9S, when the yellow fever
epidemic scourged the South. Those
were days indeed which tried mems
souls. and the man who faced the
yellow fever peril is a man with a
stout heart and brave soul, and a man
who showed every true principle of
manhood" under such conditions as
those is man to be trusted.

Big TRAIN LOAD
OF The HUNGRY
Rolls Into Hattiesburg, But Many Of
the Passengers Are Unable
To Procure Food.

With fourteen coaches loaded with
human freight, consisting of men, wo-
men and children, the Louisville &
Nashville train from the north pulled
into Hattiesburg today enroute to New
Orleans. A tremendous rush was at
once made for the hotels and restau-
rants, but not one-half of the crowd
could be fed with the facilities at COM
mand in the length of time the train
remained here.
AT the Hotel Hattiesburg, the dining
room was filled several times and the
same was true of the other hotels and
restaurants in the vicinity of the de-.
pot.
Il would give anything if | could
only get a sandwich" said one lady.
Il am hungry and want something to
eat. and / don't much care what it is. y
A gentleman who overheard her re-
marks came up town and procured her
a sandwich, but there were scores who
had to leave the city hungry.
While the l.. & ~ is running into
Hattiesburg it would be a considerate
thing on the part of the roads officials
to give notice when an unusually large
train is coming into this city about
meal time, in order that preparations
may be made to feed the passengers
quickly and well.

Circulation Double That of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
MEMS SOCIAL CCLUB.

Hattiesburg has a club organlZa-
ton; composed of representative men
Of the town, young and old; and they
have nice, comfortable club quarters;
but the club is of no benefit to its
members or to Hattiesburg, because its
privileges are not used and enjoyed.
There are two reasons for this:
First, the members have not yet &C.
quired the habit; second, the rooms,
while central enough, are up stairs,
and small part Of a large building
and do not attract attention or re-
mind any one that there is a club
there. What Is needed to make this
important and progressive movement
a success, is club house. A place
with a purpose and individuality all
its own. Just as a mans home is, or
as his place of business is. What
would you think of man who would
rent part of second story Of a
hotel to run shoe store, or furni'
ture house, or dry goods? A club
must be something to be anything.
When it is something, and the right
sort of something, it becomes an i'm
portant factor in the business and So
cial life of the community.
The Forrest Club has a chance now
of having a club house built
In an ideal locality, and built to order.
1t is an opportunity, which If accepted
will excite the interest of the business
community in the club, and will make
it the success it ought to be.
Mayor Donald has been approached
on the subject, and with his usual
public enterprise, is willing to tear
down or move back the building he
now occupies in part as an office, and
erect for the Forrest Club just the
sort of building they may desire.
He is willing to build a club house
made to order. He recognizes the
need OF social business organization
such as this, and is wiling to do his
part upon any fair, reasonable basis.
This site is ideal. 1t is on one of
the principal streets of the city, and
on the right side of the street, in that
the front porch would be protected
from the evening sun; for it is in the
late afternoons, when the days work
Is done, that men most patronize and
enjoy their club. Then it has a side
view, fronting the court house, which
would not only give light and air,
but would furnish further opportunity
for porch room, an indispensable neces-
sity for a club. And the court house
yard, properly kept, which the county
and the club could combine to do,
would furnish a beautiful lawn as a
side view. In short, the location is
ideal, and the house can be built to
order. No such offer may present
itself again; no such opportune time
can present itself again. At their
meeting tonight it would be wise, We
think, for the Forrest Club to appoin.
committee to confer with Mayor
Donald and see if arrangements and
terms, satisfactory to all parties can
not be agreed upon.

IT'S COMING.


| birmingham Ledger
| More and more men are being EN-
ployed. More pay rolls are organized
and more pay envelopes are distrib-
uted every week More and more sup
plies are sold. More and more freight
cars are needed, more and more teams
and tools are needed and the needs
grow
That all means that the business of
the district is resuming its sway and
swing and that in another month the
channels of business will begin to re-
ceive the flow of dollars. 1t takes sew
eral weeks for mems wages to fill up
the places that have been empty for
years. The percolation of the dollars
has begun, however, and they are be-
coming right plentiful in the district
They win come to the city in a diff
ferent way from the way of three
years ago. Then there was Satur-
day influx and pay day influx that
left the town full of dollars. Now the
| pay influxes are the ones the mer-
chants can rely on. When the wage
earners come to town they come for
dry goods, clothing, hardware, china
ware and housekeeping goods.
There ought to be more money for
these things than ever before There
will be. Prosperity comes apace.

Of Tar CLARKE COURIER. In re-

The only reason newspapers de-
vote SO much space to the clothes
of fair brides is because of a desire
to please the women, most of whom

that one of them ate at single
