"DUNS" ARE UNAVAILABLE.
Government Serves Notice As To
please Pay" As On Envelopes.

GWashington, June 28.-Busi-
ness men, who are engaged in
making loans which they attempt
to collect through the mails,
should be CAREFUL about placing
"dunning notice" on the face of
their letters containing bills which
are impatient to collect, because
the post office department has
ruled that such matter is unmail-
able.
This practice has been brought
to the attention of the department
and the assistant attorney general
for the postoffice department de-
clared that the custom adopted by
some of the firms is unlawful.
Envelopes submitted by a firm
in this city to the department
bore in one case the stamped i'm
preston ''past due. This account
has no doubt escaped your notice
Will you please favor us with a
remittance and oblige."
In another case the words ''cOl-
lection department" written in
red ink, was submitted. These
notices apparently had been adop-
ted by firms who feared that their
bills were so we'll known to the re
cipients form the appearance that
they found their way into the
waste paper basket unopened.

The Mississippi Union Advo-
cate truthfully says:
All this talk about attracting
capital to Mississippi is mostly
blatherskite bunkum. Show Cap
ital a profit and it will come. And
if there is a real and attractive
profit, what's the matter with
handling the proposition our
selves??"
The fact is that Mississippi has
an abundance of capital. All
that is needed is to show it win
ming opportunities for invest
ment. and to relieve loaned mon
ey from taxation so as to draw it
out of its hiding places. -Aber-

GOOD ROADS.

The county cOnvicts are now be-
ing worked on the roads in SUI
pervisOrs district No, 1. They
are now doing some specially fine
work on the Creamery Hill east
of Cliftonville, in grading the hill
and approaches thereto. Messrs.
Mauldin and Cotton are getting
splendid results with the cOnvicts
and the supervisors action in put
ting the convicts on the roads is
being generally praised.
In Macon a,great deal of street
work is being done with a tire
mendOus improvement both in
use and appearance of the streets.
Since summer began many road
O~verSeers have gone over their
roads and worked them to some
effect. But there are some links
of the roads in the county that
have not been touched. This will
hardly do for NOXubee at this
time when all progressive cOmmu-
mites I competing in having

MIR. Babe Taylor's Death.

Mr.. Isaac w. Taylor, better known
to his friends by the name given him in
his childhood as "Babe' Taylor, died
suddenly of apopIexy at Prairie Point
Thursday morning. He had retired
seemingly in good health the night be-
fore and had undressed and gone to
bed, but on failing to get up next
morning was found unconscious and
breathing his last. His remains were
inter red in Odd Fellows cemetery Fri
day morning. A large number of
friends and relatives paid the last trib-
ute to his memory.
Mr.. Taylor was born in Pickens Coun-
ty, Ala, in 1852, the son of Mr.. Isaac
Taylor. While still a child his parents
removed to Noxubee County where he
has lived ever since. He was one of
the most generous and unselfish men
that ever lived, and no uncharatable
word Or harsh judgment against his
fellow man eve passed his lips. His
whole life was distinguished by such a
kindness and unselfishness that his
memory will live long in the affection
of many who knew him. Faults and
failings he had, as all of US have, but
no n in all the world, but himself,
suffered from them.
His life was not in contrast to that
verse of the Universal Prayer
