Hattiesburg and the Normal

cured the State Normal College. Hat
tiesburg offered cash bid of $250,000.
In addition to this the city offered the
use of one of it's two school buildings
which is equivalent of $25,00 and the
choice of three building lots, any one
of which would bring the sum total OF
the bid up to 100000. We wish to
congratulate the good people of Hat
tiesburg for their progressiveness and
sincerely trust the location of the
college in their midst will cause Hat
tiesburg to grow in the future as in
the past. For a town to have such a
citizenship as Hattiesburg is bound
to be an important city in our old
State.-McComb City Journal.

HUSTLING CITY GETS 1T.

Hustling and Happy Hattiesburg-
the Queen City of the Pine Woods
was the winner in the contest for the
location of the State Normal College.
Hattiesburg, Jackson and Laurel we're
warm contestants for the school, and
each presented most attractive prop
ositions to the board of trustees. Hat
tiesburg's offer, reduced to dollars
and cents, amounted to $25O,00O; Lau-
rel was next with $230,OOO, and jack
son with 100000. Jackson gave the
trustees swell banquet at the Ed
wards House Thursday night, and in
addition to the gastronomic induce
ments there offered, presented them
with eloquent eulogies of the capital
city. Friday, the trustees met in the
senate chamber of the new capitol
building, and after thoroughly convas-
sing the propositions made by these
towns, gave the school to Hattiesburg.

the state. When the bill for the
school was under discussion in the
legislature it was stated by the friends
of the measure that it would be built
without dollar being appropriated
for that purpose, but it was not be-

very much surprised, he asked what it
meant and was told that. having no
bells, they called folks to church in
this way. The traveller remarked that
it was a pity so fine a church should
be without bells and at the same time
asked the men if they could make
three for the church. promising to pay

OWN A HOME.

If the Dispatch could only inculcate
into the minds and hearts of the peo-
ple especially the young people the
determination to own home, it would
feel like it had done very much to
benefit it's country.
When the wandering tramp, John
Howard Payne composed the beautiful
song, There's No Place Like Home
the poor fellow was without a home,
wanderer on the face of Gods
earth, and inspired the hearts of mil
lions and left to the world a heritage
greater by far than heaps of gold. 1t
is not alone patriotic, but inspires
sentiment toward civic pride and a
lovely home life.
Some times, temporarily, it is not
best for a man to invest or go into
debt. This is when he is morally GER
tain that he must give up his home
through a known force of circum-
stances.

SAD NEWS FROM ELelN.

The politicians of this particular
community have been SO busy of late
chasing new and glittering bubbles of
reform that some really important
things taken UP with commendable
zest at the beginning have been en-
tirely lost to view, if not actually
abandoned. What, for instance, has
become of the local movement to in
vestigate the cost of living with par
ticular reference to prudence. The
other day, by arbitrary agreement,
most Of the grocers of Kansas City
advanced the retail prices Of butter
and eggs to uniform scale. When
asked the reason, some Of them said
there was no good reason except that
the order had gone forth from Elgin,
III, that it should be done.
Not even the cheapest of the dema-
gogues will have the assurance to
blame the much abused Payne tariff
law for this recent advance in two of
the most important necessaries of life.
Il appears that the price of both but
ter and eggs are dictated from Elgin,
nj, and when the word goes out of
Hlgin that an advance should be made
II is almost universally obeyed with
out regard to either the producers or
ne public. 1t will be remembered

NeWs From the Tripod

that certain gentlemen took 1t upon
themselves some time ago to investi-
gate the local conditions. For a few
days there was considerable interest
in the matter and the consumers had a
faint hope that some good would re-
suit. But other reforms soon called
away the investigators and thus the
consumers were left as usual to Ia
ment and wonder.
The produce commission houses
make a convincing denial that they
are responsible for the increase in the
retail cost of butter, eggs andfruit.
They say that they are obliged to pay
higher prices themselves and that their
profits are not increasing proportion
ately. The farmers complain that
they are getting very small returns
for their consignments of eggs and
other produce, and the creameries by
their own confession are starving to
death. Obviously something is radi-
cally wrong when prices are advanced
and nobody profits thereby.
1t is a pity that there should not be
some honest and sincere reformers
who could desist from chasing the
Guggenheimers out Of Alaska long
enough to bring relief to the woman
who is trying to run home and is
beset on all sides by inexplicably in
creasing prices.-Kansas City Journal.
