briel.

The following letter is surcharged
with an air of superstition that will
make it interesting to most readers.
1t is supposed to contain the COM
mandments of Christ and to have
been written and signed by the angel
Gabriel, ninety-nine years after the
Savior's birth. 1t is believed that a
person who has copy of this letter
and does not publish it, shall have
bad luck as long as he keeps it; but
the person who publishes the letter
and keeps a copy of it in his home
shall be blessed and prospered.

VACANT HOUSES
Are filling Up
Property Owners, and Real Estate Men
Are Pleased With Improved
Conditions in Hattiesburg.

Real estate agents and property
owenrs in Hattiesburg are very much
gratified at the rapidity with which
erstwhile vacant houses in this city
are beginning to be filled with ten
ants, and this Notwithstanding the
fact that recently many citizens who
had been renters are now living in
their own houses.
According to a gentleman who has
a large number of cottages in various
sections of the city, the demand for
houses has increased wonderfully
within the past month, and much
property which was vacant during the
early part of the summer is now occu-
pied. The number of houses for rent
has increased perceptibly, and the
fact that there are fewer vacant
at this time than formerly is an indi-
cation that new people are coming to
Hattiesburg to locate.

POST0FFICE WORK
TO START SEPT. |
Postmaster Collins Advised That Con-
struction Would Probably Be-
qin at That Time.

According to the latest advices re-
ceived by Postmaster Collins, work
on the Hattiesburg federal building
will probably begin about September
/. This information was conveyed in
a communication received from the
superintendent of construction, who
is now at Meridian.
The contractors have already begun
to ship their tools and implements
here in order to be ready for the ma
terial when it arrives, and it is eX-
pected that the grading and founda-
tion work will be completed in short
order
Hattiesburg citizens, and especially
the merchants, are anxious for the
work to begin, as it will undoubtedly
mean new money in circulation in the
regular channels of trade. A large
number of skilled mechanics and la
borers will be employed on the work
and the money which they receive
will of course be spent here, which
will mean a good deal to the Local
merchants.

PACKING EXHIBIT
FOR EXHIBITION
South Mississippi Products Will be
Sent to Cincinnati on Special
Chartered Car.

Mr.. NJ. L. Bixler, secretary of the
Commercial Club, is busy packing the
products which will be sent to Gin
cinnati to represent Hattiesburg and
South Mississippi at the Exposition
of Southern Resources. They will be
loaded tomorrow on a special char
tered car and shipped straight through
to Cincinnati by fast freight. There
they will be met by Mr. BiXler, who
will have several days in which to
arrange the exhibit in an attractive
manner. Advices from all over the
state indicate conclusiviely that this
will be by all odds the best exhibit
sent from "Old Mississippi" and it
is almost certain that it will not be
surpassed by that from any other
state.

The poll books of Forrest county,

that there are 2,31S qualified electors

larger number of qualified voters in
this county than had been expected,
it is thought that quite number of
these have removed from the county,
while a certain per cent will not vote
for various reasons; hence, the esti-
mate of IS per cent. of the votes
polled is believed to be approximate
ly correct. This. however, will de-
pend largely upon weather condl-
| tions.
1t is believed that a heavy vote
will be polled in Hattiesburg. as the
people of this city are manifesting
considerable interest in the election
of a congressman. OF the 1,507 who
are qualified to vote at Hattiesburg,
nearly 800 are people who reside out

LARGE MILLS have
ALREADY ADVANCED
mission Shows This Territory Had
Improved More Than Had Been Ex-
pected.-Healthy Conditions.

Prospects for good business and |
better prices in the lumber trade dur |
ing the months of September and Oc- |
tober are confidently expected by Hat |
tiesburg lumbermen, according TO a
statement of Mr.. Everett NJ. Brown,
secretary of the Mississippi Pine AS
sociation, in an interview with a News
reporter this morning.
while there has been no radical
improvement in prices during the past
two MONTHS said Mr.. Brown, the
general tone of the market shows a
tightening up and the gradual though
slight, improvement tends to indi-
cate that prices will continue to rise
somewhat during the next sixty days.
THE large mills of Mississippi,
Alabama. Louisiana, Arkansas and
Texas have already given notice of an
advance of S1.50 per thousand. and the
small mills will, of course, follow their
example. While the demand for ex-
port lumber continues strong, this
class of material is furnished largely
by the big mills, while the smaller
plants are doing good interior bust
ness
This immediate territory supplies
the bulk of lumber for interior ship
ment, and the prices on this class of
goods continue to improve. There
has been a noticeable resumption of
operations by the smaller mills which
were closed down sometime ago. and
this, of course. is a sure indication of
better conditions"
Mr.. Brown has just received a CODY
of report issued by the United States
Forest Service Commission, which
gives a comparative statement of
prices for the months of April May
and June in the states of Mississippi.
Alabama, Arkansas Texas and Louisi-
ana. The report shows that this i'm
mediate territory has improved to a
greater extent than had been antici-
pated during these three months. and.
according to Mr.. Brown. present con-
ditions are much more satisfactory
here than for the months mentioned.
Local manufacturers and dealers
are expecting a substantial increase
in prices during the months of Sep
tember and October. The demand at
the present time is strong. and the
fact that the railroads as a rule arc
enjoying a period Of rest from litiga-
ton of various kinds has given rise
to the belief that they will shortly
begin to place orders for car material
in order to get ready for the harvest
ing season.
Taken as whole, the outlook in
this immediate territory, not only in
the lumber business, but all other in
dustries, is decidedly favorable. ac
cording to information gathered from
reliable sources and a good fall and
winter trade in all lines of commerce
Is confidently expected.
