Human Nature In. This.

There is a touch of that nature
which makes the whole world
kin in the action of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad in fitting up a
special train and sending a
mother to a reunion with her
baby which she left on a fast
passenger train, when she step
ped out for lunch at Longans-
port, Ind. While the mother, a
Chicago woman, was in the
lunch room, she left her baby
asleep on the fast limited train.
Before she returned the fast
train had swept out of the depot
with the child asleep on a seat.
The official Of the road, SYM
pathizing with the distracted
mother, had the fast train stop
ped at Bunker Hill, the first
stop from Logansport. 1t was
ordered to wait for a special,
which was being made up and on
which the mother was the only
passenger. The fast train had
to remain at Bunker Hill an
hour awaiting the special, and
strange to say, not one passen-
ger, to whom explanations were
given, objected to the wait. The
baby in the meanwhile walked up
and a party of drummers ap-
pointed themselves nurses until
the mother could come. They
acquitted themselves very cred
itably in their unaccustomed role.
The unusual incident shows
after all that corporations some
times have a soul and that hui
mainly is kind to tried and af-
ficted humanity.

NOXUBEEDS GOOD FORTUNE.

When so much of the country is
depressed over poor crop prospects,
and even nearby sections Of Miss
issippi arc suffering the ravages of
the the boil weevil and the dam
age from floods which have ruined
their crops, NOxubee county has a
great deal to be thankful for. No
boil wecvil or other pests are here,
and while excessive rain has in
iured some corn and cotton the
great majority of our cOunty's
fields are rich with a banner crop
of corn and grains and the cotton
is doing splendidly.
A drive through II county now
is a delight to an observant man
who has an eye for agricultural
beauty. The corn crop is excep
tiOnalIy fine and the cotton well
up to the average, while the yield
of beans, peas, grains and such
crops are beyond anything of the
kind ever grown. heretofore i'll the
county both as to quality and
quantity. Despite the untlmely
rains the hay harvest for the year
has been excellent SO far, and the
later cuttings promise to excel
those already gathered. Some of
the alfalfa growers are almost
ready for the fourth cutting, and
the yield has been splendid. Since
alfalfa has become a staple crop in
the county the hay yield is an i'm
pOrtant factor in the cOunty's
prosperity.
The crops of corn, beans, peas,
oats, hay, etc, produced this year
are worth much more than their
market value to our farmers. They
show us what profit there is in
such farming, and what our lands
can produce of them, and in the
face of the impending boil weevil
this is of tremendous Importance.
NOxubcc county can, if necessary,
issue a declaration of indepen-
dence against King Cotton and
maintain it. Instead of being our
monarch it has becomdonly an i'm
pOrtant ally and friend. This con-
dition will ultimately work a rev
olutiOn in our agricultural methods
and policy, and all for the good of
the people and the land.
1t is no idle boast to say that
Noxubee county is the best county
in the State ; it is an actual fact.

A lot of people in Corinth
seem to be quite indignant be-
cause Judge Mitchell would not
give up some of the time of the
Court to the adventurer Bilbo,
who is not even a candidate and
who denies that he represents
any candidate. What right,
therefore had he to the time of
the Court, especially as he was
merely engaged in vilifying,
misrepresenting and traducing
some Of the very best men in the
State? All the decent people Of
the State should deny him a
hearing since he has been brand
ed by the Legislature as a bride
taker and as one unworthy Of
public confidence. Are those of
our people who are running af-
ter this man gone clean crazy?1

1t may be all right to take about Is
and 20 cents a pound from the new
crop but it is doubtful if
will be willing to pay that basis for
their cotton goods. They are refusing
to do it now. More reasonable bulls
are beginning to think that there is a
limit to what may be called the legit-
mate price of cotton. What the world
wants to see this coming season is
spindles turning, it doesn't want to see
mills shutting down and shipping Their
supplies of spots to speculative centers.
Such a state of affairs spells demorali-
cation.

4GRICUL TURAL PER
MENT STA TTON

Every reader of the BEACON
should ponder we'll Senator Prices
letter appearing in this issue re
garding the State Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station. Its location in
NOxubec would be of incalculable
advantage to IL county, both in
developing II farmers and our
lands, and in bringing to the
knowledge of the world the mar
velOus agricultural possibilities our
soil possesses.
The article in this weeks BEA-
CON "NOXUBEE'S GOOD FoRTUNE''
was written before Mr.. Prices let
ter was received and with no view
of showing NOXubee's suitability
tor the experiment station. Yet
the facts there set out 7 each a
strong evidence that II county
is the proper and best place for
the proposed institution.
Let orr people get together and
secure the Experiment Station.

Agricultural ExperimtaI Station.
Editor, Beacon

Editor. Beacon:
The Daily News of Jackson
states that the General Board of
Trustees for u colleges will con-
slider at it's next meeting the To-
cation of two agricultural expert
ment stations, and that it is I'M
derstood that Adams and NOXu-
bee Counties are favored as prob
able sites for the location of these
stations.
Our people should not neglect
this opportunity of securing one
of these schools. Surely we can
unite on this proposition. Moth
ing we could do would rebound
more to our material development.
would suggest that a delega-
ton of representative citizens
from our county appear before the
Board of Trustees at it's meeting,
present NOxubee|s claims, and
show the advantages of locating
the station here.
The legislature at it's late SEES
sion passed a bill authorizing our
Board of Supervisors to donate
$4,000. 90 to purchase the land and
necessary equipment. At it's next
meeting the County Board should
signify it's willingness to do this,
so that a committee sent to repre-
sent us could have a definite
proposition to make.
Besides this amount it is up to
the several communities to make
donations to the fund for securing
the station. The community max
ing the most liberal offer will,
other things being equal, get the
station should it be located in
this county.
Such an opportunity will not
soon come our way again. We
cannot afford to let it pass. 1t
means that all plants indigenous
to our soil will be experimental
with, and the results of these eX-
periments will be given to our
people for their benefit and profit.
When the state gets behind
such movements, they succeed.
The Governor is known to be IA
vorable to our county, and with
the proper effort we can secure it.
A strong pull all together, is the
demand of the hour.

With everything in readiness and a good number of the roque experts in town, it is expected that number of the tournament games, so that from all this afternoon. This has been the GUS tom for several years, in order to get the games all played during the week None can be ordered for today, as the tournament is scheduled to open Tues day, but many are willing to start off with game or two to avoid the rush at the end of the week.
 For a week the enthusiasts have been arriving. and more will come today from all directions, so that, rom all re- ports, there will be a big reunion of the former contestants for national honors with the addition of a number of new players. the forecast being that years.
 There arrived Sunday evening Jesse F. Webb and Horace T. Webb of West Chester, Pa, second and first division players, respectively, and William Hoagland of the same city, who will watch, but will not play. There also came W. l.. Robinson and son. Everett w. Robinson, of Mansfield, Mass, both of whom will play, the son being second division player and it is his first trip here Today there will come from Philadelphia President J. c. Kirk Felton, Edmunds, Hogeland and Pro- lessor Morrison. the last named being an enthusiast who will watch this
 
 Dudley of Philadelphia is here, but Dr. Hartman, Dr. Brooks, Dr. Young and J. NJ. Craemer will not be able to get here Ex-Champion C. G. Williams. who has been spending a week at Oak Bluffs. Mass, will arrive today.
 Philadelphia is showing a big delega- tion this year. and it is not all idle talk that the Quaker City wants the tourna- ment next year. One of the delegates from that vicinity states that Philadel- phia will endeavor to get the tourna- ment there next year. They may not be successful, but it is wanted there. and the same endeavor made last year will be renewed.
 The grounds are in fine shape, and this was acknowledged by one of the delegates after a visit there Sunday evening. They have been well looked after, and much playing has been done on them in the past few weeks, so that it is not looks alone that will appeal to the players. Three of the five courts which are lighted will be lighted this
