ELK'S GALA week.

Never in the history of this
to wn have such elaborate prepare
tions been made than for the ap.
proach of the big Gala Week cele-
bration.
The local lodge of Elks are going
to hold a Mardi Gras and have en-
gagged the Barefoot Worlds Great
est shows to furnish the attractions.
This company that shows here
during the week of March Z, pre-
sents the biggest features Of any
other like aggregation. fifteen big
shows, 5 free acts, 2 brass bands,
about 400 people, two train loads
of paraphenalia, in fact, enough
material to present the finest time
ever enjoyed. The free acts which
which consist Of high dives, ira
pese, arial artists, are the most
sensational. The brass bands, one
under the direction of Professor
Gngelo Mummelo is made up of 20
of the finest musicians, each one
a soloist and all clever artists.
Too much cannot be said about
them, as words cannot express
their wonderful talent. They give
concerts on the square three times
daily.
Another feature is the pOpulari-
ty contest in which a handsome
diamond ring will be presented to
the lady holding the greatest num-
Der of votes. Placards will be
seen in the display windows in
town daily, and voting boxes will
be in several of the stores. The
contest will be explained by small
bills distributed from house to
house. The entire week of March
7-12 will be devoted to amusement
and a Jolly good time.

mIssIssiPPps NORMAL SCHOOL,

While the citizens of Jackson and
Laurel, which were strong competitors
for the prize, are naturally disappoint-
ed by their failure to win, the selection
of Hattiesburg as the situs for the
Mississippi State Normal College is
accepted in excellent spirit and There
seems to be no disposition to criticize
the trustees whose duty it was to make
the award. Hattiesburg's cash offer
overtopped the tenders of her rivals
and this fact doubtless Influenced the
result. Additionally the argument
that this institution should go to South
east Mississippi had great weight, all
of the other State colleges and schools
being situated in other portions of the
State. Selection of Laurel, which is
not many miles north of Hattiesburg
and in an adjoining county, would
have been regarded, of course, as rec
ognition of the justice of that plea,
but it probably accounts for the small
vote received by Jackson, the State
capital. and already the home of sever
al State institutions. AS between Hat
tiesburg and Laurel, both thriving
towns, the larger money donation Of
the former probably turned the scale,
Notwithstanding the contention OF the
Laurel committee that it's additional
offers offset the cash advantage of its
rival.
Mississippi has sound cause to re-
ioice in the enterprise and public spirit

sung. and the bridegroom's generosity

JACKSON NOT MAILING.

Jackson has no tears to shed over
it's failure to get the State Normal
College. Not that the acquisition of
such an institution would not have
been a great credit and advantage to
the capital city, for it most assuredly
would have helped us on to fame and
glory, hence our patriotic desire and
strenuous efforts to secure it. But
because Jackson is not in the habit of
crying over spilled milk, or wailing
over disappointments, is why its eyes
are not red with weeping and its
heart bowed down with grief-not so
that you could notice it, at least.

Hattiesburg and the Normal

which provides "a great educational
plant virtually free of cost to the tax
payers of the State at large. AS in
troduced at the recent Legislature ses-
sion, the normal school bill provided
an appropriation of 100000 for cree
ton of the necessary buildings. This
was subsequently eliminated and the
bill as passed carried no building ap-
preparation whatever, merely author
izing the trustees to accept donations
for the purpose and specifically stipu-
lating that the school buildings should
be furnished free of cost to the State.
This unusual condition was accepted
by the three contestants for the school,
each of them rendering, in addition to
a site, ample cash to provide the nee
essary buildings. Hattiesburg's bid
was $25O,OOO, which should defray the
cost of plant adequate in every way.
The board of trustees has appointed
building committee, and it is stated
that the work of construction will be
commenced as early as practicable. 1t
is understood, however, that the school
will not be opened until the next ses-
sion of the Legislature, which will be
required to appropriate the money for
it's maintenance.-Time s. Democrat.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1910-09-20

Jackson has struggled along with
out any normal college for good
many years, and it has. outstripped
any town In the country in growth
and progress. 1t will continue along
the same lines and other enterprises
will so occupy the time and minds of
our citizens that they will soon forget
they were ever in the race for the
college.
Hattiesburg is to be congratulated
on the victory she has won, and
Jackson's Fluctuations are hearty and
sincere. The piney woods metropolis
has shown spirit Of energy and en-
terprise that is highly commendable,
and it may rest assured that Jackson
will contribute every assistance posi-
BILE in making the Normal a great
success.
The patriot who cast the solitary
vote for the capital city is in 'class
by himself" and the thanks of this
community are rendered him, who
ever he is, for saving us 'shut-out.'
