Rigolets.
Captain A. L. Bellanger was in

and carried the crippled boat from
its mornings, and Captain Bellanger
concluded to let it go to the bottom,
hoping that she may be raised. Cap
tain Bellanger had a narrow escape
on the bridge.
He says eight or ten other boats
were blown away, damaged or sunk.
Schooners had their masts cut away.
Luggers owned by oystermen ais 0 suf-

CITIZENS BANK.

ton at a cost Of more than $4,000.
More than dozen substantial bust
ness concerns have taken the place
of the half dozen that were weeded
out during the panic, while the old
reliable institutions of the city, without
exception, have weathered the storm
and are being conducted on a more
solid and conservative basis.
The street railway has been COM
pleted and electric cars are speeding
over all the principal streets of the
city.
Several new manufacturing enter
prises have been launched and are
now enjoying prosperous business.
The city schools show a larger en-
rollment than at any former time.
The Komp Machine Works and the
Watkins Machine and Foundry Com
pany have both enlarged their bust
| ness and almost doubled their capac-
| ity.
The Mississippi Central shops are
working more men than at any time
since the road was built.
More than a dozen fine brick build
ings have been erected in the bust
ness district of the city.
The banks show larger deposits
than at any time during the year of
1905.
These are only few of the proofs
to substantiate the statement made
in the ipening paragraph of this ar
ticle, and they should be sufficient
to forever silence the voice of the
croaker and encourage the citizens of
this city to greater efforts in the
future.

He is a dreamer" people sometimes
scoffingly say. Dreams and desire
are the framework of many solid
structure of success. The man who
really and truly desires the things he
dreams about by day and by night
is mighty apt in some way to help
bring those things about. There are
some, of curse, inside and outside the
church who say, Lord, Lord" and
never enter into the spirit of the
thing; but as a general rule men
show their faith by their works"
Dream about Greater Hattiesburg. In
your dreams picture how you would
have it be, and tell your dreams to 9TH
ers; and, apt as not, some day You
will see it on the map that way.

In the Meantime.

The last census of this city, taken
in the spring of 1906, when condi-
tions were at their best and the
houses were filled with the families
of people who were temperate yengag-
ed in the various departments of pub.
lie work, gave Hattiesburg a popula-
ton of a little more than twenty-five
thousand inhabitants.
The new city directory which is
now being compiled, will show a pop.
ulation of more than twenty-four thou
sand, an increase of two thousand over
1906, the so-called banner year. The
compilers of the new directory assert
positively that, although the census
is being taken in the identical man
ner as in 1906, the figures will show
that there are two thousand more peo-
pie in Hattiesburg now than at that
time.
There are practically no vacant
houses in Hattiesburg now, notwith-
standing the fact that more than three
hundred new ones were built during
1867. The people who occupy these
houses are here to stay. They are
located permanently, many of them in
their own homes, and did not come
here as result of a boom. They are
conservative people who knew thai;
Hattiesburg was a good town and its
future possibilities great.

Mr.. TAFT'S SOUTHERN REPRE-.
SENTATIVE.


road attorney, now by the grace of a
republican President, Secretary of
War, was perhaps the leading side
show attraction at the Tennessee
State Fair meet in Nashville, one day
this week.
If any of Mr.. Dickinson's hearers
did not know before what Mack said
concerning Tennessee and its great
men, it was because they had not
read Tennessee history. His re-
marks upon the race question were
q sort of glimmering symposium of
newspaper generalities; the addenda
OF his speech told what a really
great man the fellow who gave him
office is.
Mr.. Dickinson's appointment was in
the nature of a sop to Cerberus,"
thrown to the South. Because he is
Southern man, native and to the
manner born" he is said to be a
Democrat. He is in fact one of those
democrats who rarely vote the DEM
ocratic ticket. He has long since
grown wiser and broader and more
liberal than his party. That is how he
happened to be appointed to office
by republican President. He is
very popular in republican circles.
He is alss quite popular in railreal
circles. While he is secretary of War
the administration will have no war
with the railroads. He Is a favorite
with corporations generally. A cor
poration is very much larger in his
mind than an individual. The passing
of the dividend of a great corporation
is of paramount concern to him, com
pared with the salvation of a human
soul. He is man of much resource,
foresight and wisdom. He had that
foresight years ago to see that the
road to fortune and to fame, was to
get next to corporate wealth. He
proceeded Immediately to get there
And he has shown great wisdom in
not cheapening his standing and repu-
tation by submitting his claims for
office or preferment to the vulgar
votes of the common people. He is
not from Missouri and there are some
things he knows without being
"shown." One Of those things is, not
to ask for the democratic nomination
Tor any office in Tennessee.
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding
Mr.. Dickinson was given the right
glad hand in Nashville. There are
lots of people there who think they
may get office under the Secretary Of
War, or, through him, under some
other secretary Besides, Mr.. Dick
inson is rich. The railroads have
paid him well, and he has been fortu-
nate in the advance information his
position as general counsel OF the
Illinois Central has afforded him. And
In addition to his wealth, he has a
noble ancestry, who migrated to Ten.
nessee In the early days and lived
among the cane brakes and the In.
dams, and acquired vast acres of
beautiful land, and by force of cireum-
stances grew rich. And Mack is the
noble scion OF those worthy pioneers;
and all the others think cousin Mack
is 1t. And they all sneeze when he
takes snuff. And whenever he opens
h1s mouth and shuts it again, with
one accord they laugh and shout
And. all in all, Mr.. Mack is not
really bad fellow; he is rather a
GOOD fellow. And he may not be a
republican; but he is not a demo
crat Whatever he is or is not, he

FAITH" ALL THAT WAS LEFT
Symbols of "Hope" and Charity" Had
Got Away from Unfortunate Sun
day School Scholar.

A young Philadelphia Sunday school
teacher tells this story Of the result
of an attempted application of the
principles of economics:
For some time she had endeavOred
to impress upon the minds of one of
her charges the names of the three
qualities, faith, hope, and charity. One
Sunday she presented the pupil of the
poor memory with three new shining
coins. a penny. a fIve-cent piece, and
a dime.
The penny" she said, represents
faith, the fiye-cent piece hope, and the
dime charity. Keep these coins and
every time you look at them think of
what they stand for"
The SUNDAY following the teacher
reviewed the lesson of the week be
fore, and called upon the holder of the
coins to produce them and give their
names in proper sequence. The
youngster shufied from one leg to the
other, stammered, blushed and seemed
altogether overcome with mOrtifica
ton. Finally ne burst out with:
Please. Miss Fanny, l amt gOt
nuthin' left but faith. Baby swal

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one of the southern states says:
My mother, since her early child
hood. was on inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for q
number of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making an OFF,
cial visit 10 a distant part of the coun-
try and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the ySace. ! noticed a
somewhat peculiar havOur Of the cot
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
I was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over. ! bought package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal The
whole family were so well pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
4 had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con
dition, but We noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior 10 its
use. and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches we're not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved,
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of US.
7 know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the
family, but not in so marked a de-
gree as in the case of my mother, as
she was a victim of long standing.
