MISSISSIPPI ROADS !
ARE LOSING MONEY

jackson, Miss, Nov. 9.-The rail-
roads of Mississippi are losing hun
dreds of dollars each year through a
source that few people think about,
except the railroad employees, and few
of them realize that the loss is to the
roads.
On every coach of train there is
at least one, and generally two drink
ing glasses, or should be, but there is
generally change or two every time
a train passes through a state 1t is
not an infreQuent thing for the porter
to be called upon one or more times
from the time train crossed the
Louisiana line into Mississippi till 1t
crosses the Tennessee line, for a
water glass.
The glasses are carried off by the
passengers, and in such numbers that,
at the end Of the year, the loss is con-
siderable to each road. It Is doubted
whether a train ever passes through
this state that the glass Is not car
ried off, usually both from each coach.
and while the two or three glasses
do not cost much for each train, at
the same time, when the loss is total.
ed at the end of the year it runs into
hundreds of dollars.
All sorts of glasses have been used,
but whatever kind it may be, it is Ia
ken just the same. It makes no diff
ference to the person who wants the
glass, so long as he gets it.,
This loss is becoming so heavy on
the roads that they have asked per-
mission of the railroad companies to
use galvanized iron cup, with a
round bottom, such cup will not
stand except when placed in the re-
ceptacle for it in the coach. The facts
have been presented to the commits
sion in such way that it is probable
permission will be granted to use
these iron cups, which would be
chained to the water cooler, with a
good steel chain, and II this cup is
carried away the water tank or cooler
would have to 60 with It.

a most entertaining one, as well as
improving. Among the first hostesses
to adopt this form Of entertaining
this season in Hattiesburg, was Mrs.
E. L. Robbins, whose musical on
Tuesday was large and brilliant af-
fair, her guest list including about
seventy of Hattiesburg's social world.
Hattiesburg is peculiarly adopted to
this way of entertaining, as there is
SO much local talent, and this charm
ing young hostess gathered around
her on Tuesday a number of music
lovers, and a group of talented must
clans.
Mrs. Ben Moore gave two numbers,

M. A. Hoffman, A. X. McInnis, D. M

wearing the handsomest of gowns.
The library and parlor was thrown
into one large apartment and con.
verified into coy audience room by
rows Of chairs. In the reception hall
frozen punch was served by Miss
Lucille Gore, cousin of the hostess
and Miss Bessie Powe, from a table
banked in immense white chrysan
themums and asparagus sprengeri.
In the dining room color motif OF
green and white prevailed, white car
nations being used and quantities OF
growing ferns. The white candles In
the silver candelabra, gave sof,

somely polished table was cut glass

C. w, Dobbins,

In the death Of Mr.. G. w. Dobbins
which occurred at his residence on
East Pine street at 10 o'clock this
morning, Hattiesburg loses one of her
best and most highly respected citi.
zens.
Mr.. Dobbins had been i'll for a pc
Rod of several weeks, and during that
time has been patient sufferer. Sew
eral months ago he had some trouble
with corns on his feet, and in treat
ing them slightly lacerated the cuticle
upon one of the toes. The member
became inflamed and sensitive and
was treated in the ordinary manner
for such complaints, but without re-
lief. Finally the entire foot became
affected and diabetical gangrene set
in, which finally made amputation of
the entire lower limb necessary.
The operation was performed sew
eral days ago with the hopes that the
patient might be saved from the terri
BILE effects of blood poison, but the
sufferer experienced no relief from the
operation, and during the past several
days has been growing gradually
worse. Mr.. Dobbins was a native of
Alabama, but came to Hattiesburg
with his family about sixteen years
ago. He has resided here continu-
ously since that time, and has become
known to practically every citizen of
the city. He was man of high char
acter. and possessed many excellent
Christian characteristics. He has
reared large family Of children all
of whom have attained prominence in
the social and religious life Of the
city.
