Will BE EXPOSITION
southern RESOURCES
And it is Desired That South Missis-
sippi and This Immediate Section
Be creditabIy Represented-RaiI-
roads Appealed to.

At meeting OF the directors OF the
Commercial Club, held recently, at
which the matter of sending an ex-
hibit from South Mississippi to the
Exposition of Southern Resources, to
be held at Cincinnati next fall, was
discussed, and which meeting was at
tended by representative of the New
Orleans and Northeastern railroad, it
was unanimously decided that in or
der that this section might be proper
ly represented it was necessary that
all business concerns show an inter-
lest in the matter by contributing lib
orally to a fund which it is desired
to raise for this purpose.
Mr.. Jas. A. Hearn, industrial agent
for the New Orleans and Northeastern
railroad, stated at the meeting that
his railroad would be willing to CO.
operate and assist in the work of
making the undertaking a success, but
since that time the Commercial Club
has heard nothing further from any
of the railroads Representatives.
In this connection it is proper to
state that what is needed just at this
time, more than anything else, is
money All the encouragement and
sympathy in the world will not bring
about the desired result unless it
should be accompanied by a little of
the coin of the realm, and those peo-
pie and corporations which, from
every reasonable point of view would
benefit most from such an exhibit. are
naturally expected by the Commercial
Club to. put up the. greatest amount
of the money needed.
This is a matter which cannot be
put off, for the reason that If an ex.
hibit is to be sent to Cincinnati now
is the time to be securing specimens
of farm products so that they may be
preserved and kept in good condition
for the exposition. Splendid speci
mems of corn, oats. potatoes and othe;
products which have already been ma
tured should be selected now, so tha
it may be shown to the thousands O
people who visit Cincinnati on the oc
casion OF the celebration that while
the farmers of the North and Fast are
just laying by their crops. South Mis-
sissippi farmers have already harvest
ed theirs and have growing crops O
other varieties on the land from which
the specimens exhibited were gather
ed.
What thu Commercial Club need.
right now is money to carry on thi.
work, and unless f. is t. be rad soor
the prospects for ? South Mississipp
i exhibit arc exceedingly poor Their,
are men who are willing and anxious
to undertake the work of collectin,
the exhibit, b;;t no one feels incline,
to cxpeni his private funds in a worl
which Wv benefit the entire section
So hos Tho are Interested in tn
pro- osition are requested to communi
cate with the Commercial Club an,
learn more about what is desired I,
be done.

BLOW FOR WIFE
 COST HIM $IO
Publisher Fined For Punching Man He Said Annoyed Her
 on Train.

Greewich,n April 5.-Judge Charles D. Burnes has fined Thomas G. Gan non, a New York publisher, $10 and costs for punching John J. Reynolds, 8 New York importer, the chin on a New Haven train from New York on last March 26. MT. Reynolds, MT. Cannon alleged, had been looking at his wife in such an offensive manner all the way out from New York that Mrs. Cannon, who has been i'll for some time, became very nervous and was compelled to hold a newspaper in front of her face to protect her from his unwelcome gaze.
 When MT. Reynolds picked up his bundles preparatory to leaving the train, MT. Cannon says he peered at Mrs. Cannon over the top of the pa per, whereupon MT. Cannon punched him.
 MT. Reynolds said that he had been absorbed in reading and was hardly conscious of the presence of either MT. or Mrs. Cannon. He thought he might have looked in her direction, but not Intentionally.
 MT. Reynolds is a Trustee of the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian church, and is highly respected here. He re- garded the arrest of MT. Cannon as necessary to justify himself &in the eyes of the public. MT. Cannon ap- pea1ed the case and it will come be- fore Judge James F. Walsh and a jury at the Court of Common Pleas in Bridgeport this term.
