Washington would soon be completely

Others claimed there is no necessity for
the crossing, and that il was not de-
sired by any OF the property holders.

To ENCOURAGE
Horticulture
Fire Chief Potter Offers Prize For
Best Results in Flower Grow
ing by Firemen.

In order to furnish pleasant and
profitable recreation for the members
of Fire Companies l and 2, Fire Chief
Potter has offered prize of five dol
large in gold to the company which
will make the best showing in fiori-
culture during the present summer.
1t is the desire of Chief Potter that
the grounds surrounding these two
stations be made as attractive as pos
sible, and he believes that the planting
of flowers will do more towards ac-
complishing this end than anything
else, ard at the same time furnish
exercise and recreation for the mem
bers of these companies, during leis-
ure moments.
The contest is confined to Compa-
nies two and three, for the reason that
there is no suitable place to plant
flowers at Station No. l, and the
boys of these companies have already
begun active preparations to plant
and cultivate flowers of almost every
description.
Their efforts in this line of industry
will be watched with interest by the
general public, and the result of the
rivalry between the two companies
will doubtless be the production OF
some splendid specimens of flowers.

Hattiesburg's Opportunity.

This is exactly the opportunity for
which Hattiesburg has been looking
1t has been repeatedly stated that II
the world should be reliably informed
of the opportunities which are lying
dormant in almost every line of in
dustry in this section, especially as
this applies to agriculture, within the
period of a few years there would
not be an idle acre of land in South
Mississippi. Those who reside in the
"piney woods" know all this, but the
knowledge does not extend beyond
the radius of comparatively few
miles.
1t is generally conceded that the
salvation of what is known as the
"cut-over" land territory depends up
on the development of it's agricultural
resources. Farming here has LONG
since passed the experimental stage
1t has been tried by practical, scien
tific agriculturists, and the results OF
numerous experiments have been
gratifying beyond the most sanguine
expectations. Newcomers have ac
tually been astounded at the wonder
/ full productiveness of the soil, its
adaptability to the growing Of various
crops, the ease with which it may be
cultivated and the number of crop.
which may be produced in a single
season.

ANOTHER HOUSE
WAS BURGLARIZED
Residence of w. DuckWorth, on West
Fifth Street, Was Entered and
Robbed Last Night.

Burglars scored another point last
night when they entered the residence
of w. Duckworth, on West Fifth street,
and succeeded in getting away with
quantity of provisions from Mr.
Duckworth's pantry.
Mr.. Duckworth, who is captain of
Fire Company No 8, is compelled to
remain away from home at night, and
the burglars who committed this deed
evidently supposed that Mrs. Duck
worth was alone, and that the robbery
would be comparatively easy under
taking. This was not the case, how
ever, for there is gentleman who
rooms at the Duckworth residence and
who is in the house every night, oc-
cupying a room across the hall from
that occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Duck
worth.
The party or parties who committed
this deed were heard in the house, but
the noise was attributed to natural
causes and no one suspected that a
burglary was being committed. The
thief, it is stated, confined his opera
tions exclusively to the pantry.
This is the sixth residence which
has been burglarized in this city with
in the past ten days.

What Must Be Done.

In order to accomplish the desired
results and get this vast territory of
idle land TO working and producing
the bread and meat of the nation, it is
necessary that those who are looking
for locations should be informed of
the facts just mentioned. The eyes of
the world are upon the south. 1t is
conceded by those of the west and
northwest that this section has ad-
vantages not possessed by any other
section of country in America,
but of just exactly what
these advantages consist is not
generally known to those who are
eNdeavoring to better their conditions
h locating where the greatest oppor-
tunities are offered
The Exposition of Southern Re
sources, to be held at Cincinnati, will
f. rnish the means for disseminating
tie desired Information, and for this
purpose it is suggested that citizens
Of Hattiesburg and Forrest county 81
busy at once and make arrangements
to send an exhibit to this exposition
Ii will cost nothing to have the ex
hibit transported: it will cost nothing
to have it arranged and exhibited, but
it is necessary that the very finest
specimens of all kinds of agricultural
products be sent, and with them {
man to represent Hattiesburg and
Forrest county and explain to the peo
pie the character of the soil and eli
mate where these specimens wer,
produced.

PLAIN CLOTHES
ON POLICE FORCE
Understood That Exhaustive Effort To
Break up Thievery in This CITY
Will be Made.

For the purpose of breaking up the
band of thieves and burglars when
has been operating in this city dur
ing the past two or three weeks II
has been announced on good authorl-
ty that the police department VIII put
on the force at least four plain clothes
men who will be assigned to dlfferent
sections of the resident districts ol
the city.
The identity of these men Is OF
course unknown to all except the city
authorities, and it is believed tha'
they will be successful in capturing
the parties who have recently burg
larized several residences and stores
in Hattiesbuurg. They will work al
night and will work their respective
beats thoroughly, in such a manner
that their identity will remain Sc
cret. and unless these burglars are
shrewder than the ordinary thlel
somebody will probably be placed be
hind prison bars within the next rev
days.
No less than eight residences have
been burgalized within the past tel
days. and while the goods stolen haV'
consisted mainly in provisions, 1t Il
thought that these thugs are capable
of committing any crime and IL Il
desirable that an end be put to thei
operatjons as soon as possible.
