NEWS GATHERED
HERE AND THERE
FROM OVER THE STATE


1t has practically been decided
to sell the 5000, 600 of state bonds
at home, and the details of the
sale will be completed early in
the fall. The banks of Missis-
sippi, when the crop movement
is over, will finance practically
the whole issue. This will be
the first time in the history of
| the state that so large a loan has
been fioated among home people.
The baseball situation in Mis-
sissippi is dividing interest with
questions of state, and the race
for the pennant is now narrow
ing down to the exciting stage.
Greenwood, Jackson and Hat
tiesburg are in the first division
of clubs in the order named, but
Meridian, Yazoo City and Vicks-
burg are trailing so close behind
as to make the championship
race a matter of doubt until the
final games played.
1t is probable the next legisla-
ture will be called upon to pro-
vide additional room for the
next state officers. The new
capitol has become congested in
the last seven years, and there is
not room in the building for all
the officers and their records.
Two relief plans have been sug-
gested -one to make a cellar un-
der the entire building for all of
fetal records. and the other to
utilize the old capitol. Some
lively discussion is anticipated
when the question comes up in
the legislature.
The statewide immigration
movement is progressing nicely.
and Secretary Davis believes that
25, 900 members will be enrolled
before the close of the year.
Mr.. Davis urges upon all citizens
the advisability of sending a.
good exhibit to the Ohio Valley
Exposition next month. Free
transportation for all shipments
to and from Cincinnati is offered
by the railroads.
The Hixon, Sumter and North
ern Railroad has been organized
and the charter approved by
Governor Noel. The new road,
construction work on which will
begin at once, will run from a
point in Alabama to Meridian,
passing through Kemper county
and opening up a new territory.
The executive committee of
the Mississippi Bankers Asso-
citation met in jackson a few
days ago for the purpose of dis
cussing ways and means of
handling the cotton crop during
the autumn and winter months,
and the committee was of opin-
ion that the state and national
banks will be able to finance the
crop with little or no outside as
sistance. Last season the banks
of Mississippi drew very little
money from eastern concerns,
and it is expected the amount
will be even smaller this year.
The outlook for the Unviver-
sity of Mississippi was never
bettr," declares Chancellor A. A.
Kincannon. From all parts of
the state we are receiving re-
ports of new students who will
ask enrolment at the opening,
and present indications are that
not less than 900 students will be
enrolled, which will be fully 100
per cent. larger than the enroll
ment four years ago." All of
which is very gratifying news
to the community at large, for it

The Crop Condition.

The tobacco growers have set out a
large share OF their tobacco plants dur
ing the past week or two. and continual
rains have been favorable. With the
ground moist and little hot sunshine the
plants have rooted well, and with good
weather conditions from now on there
should be an excellent harvest. The wet
weather has also been advantageous TO
the grass lands Almost without eNcep-
ton thu fields are looking well, the grass
being heavy and well matured for this
season Of the year. on the other hand,
corn. potatoes and other garden crops
are very backward. There has been so
much rain that large amount Of seed
has rotted in the ground. and many
farmers have had 10 replant their fields
one or more times Corn that had come
up has been making slow progress, and
at present is considerably backward from
the average season. With plenty Of hot
weather however. this crop vet has
| ample time to mature and yield a good
| harvest.

The recently organized alumni Of the

every effort possible to make the re-

success The plans for the affair are
quite elaborate. and no doubt will be fully
realized, as the management is in the
hands OF a very competent committee.
An alumni was formed in 1886, but the
small number OF graduates made the sus-
tanning OF 1t so difficult that It soon
went out OF existence. At the present
time there are more than 225 graduates
and more than 500 who have at some time
been pupils OF the school. There seems
no reason why the interest should not be
sufficient to sustain the association sue
cessfully. On the occasion Of the re-
union. a picnic Is planned for the day
and in the evening in the town hall there
will be a banquet.
