The identified dead include Ser

Corporal Bradford, gun pointer; Pri-
vate Sullivan, Private Duffy, Private

mangled.
Lieutenant Vandiusen had a leg
broken and several enlisted men were
also wounded. Two of the wounded
men, whose names are unknown, may
die. A report to the war department
was made by General w. H. Carter,
assistant chief of staff. who was at
the Fort at the time, with several
other officers of high rank in the
army and navy.

hoped that he will be greeted by

doubtless be highly enjoyable and
profitable to those who hear it,

To Spend WEEKEND
AT GULF RESORTS
Hattiesburs Citizens Who Are Sum-
mering on the Coast Would Like to
Spend Sundays With Them, and
viii Ask for Train.

Patrons of the Gulf and Ship Island
railroad want a Saturday spe-
cial to the coast and will take the mat
ter up with general passenger agent
Hawley at once. Many Hattiesburg
business men have sent their families
to the coast for the summer, and want
to make the weekend trip down in
order, to be with them over Sunday,
but under present conditions it is too
inconvenient for them to do so.
Citizens of Jackson, also, it is said,
will join in the request, and the Gulf
and Ship Island will be asked to put
on special train leaving Jackson
about two o'clock on Saturday after
moons, and stopping at only one or
two places along the lines, Hatties-
burg and Collins, perhaps, SO as to
give quick service to Gulfport and
other coast points. 1t is thought that
the through business which could be
handled from these three points would
be considerable, sufficient to justify
the company in running the special,
while the regular train could care for
the local business.
This special would put the week
enders into Gulfport about z o'clock in
the evening, while under the present
arrangement they do not arrive there
until about 10 o'clock at night. The
special could leave early Monday
morning, putting the visitors back in
Hattiesburg about $3.50 instead of
1920, which would be much more
convenient, while Jackson passengers
would arrive at their destination
about 10 o'clock, giving them nearly
a full day to devote to business.
AS it is an extra chair car is car
ried on the regular train every Sat
urday to accommodate the business,
and it is believed the travel would
be more than doubled if a new train
should be put on for the accommoda-
tion of weekend visitors to the coast.

TO START WORK ON
new POSTOFFICE
Superintendent of Construction of
Newport Constructing Firm is In
the City for That Purpose.

E. G. Lawrence, superintendent of
construction of the Newport Construc-
tion Company, of Newport News, Va,
which firm has the contract for the
new federal building in Hattiesburg,
is in the city for the purpose of start
ing the work of the new postoff1ce.
Mr.. Lawrence is figuring with To-
cal contractors on JOBS in connection
with the building which he expects to
have done by Hattiesburg firms and
individuals, and it is believed that To-
cal men will get a considerable por-
tion of the sub-contract work.
There is quite good deal of work
to be done on the grounds before act
ual construction of the building can
be commenced, and this, it is thought,
will be let by contract to Hattiesburg
people.
1t is expected that the grading Of
the lot will be commenced within the
next few days, and in the meantime,
while this is being done, the material
for the building will be assembled on
the ground so that actual con-
struction work may begin as soon as
the ground is. ready for the founda-
tion.

CITY MUST Be PUT IN
MORE slightly SHAPE
Weeds Are Breeding Places For Mos
quitoes And Malaria Germs, And
Sanitary officer Wants Them Cut
Down And Cleared Away.

Sanitary Officer S. P. Woods has
notified the people of Hattiesburg that
they must cut down the weeds and
high grass upon their premises, on
the sidewalks in front of and around
their houses and vacant lots, and to
otherwise put their property in a
healthy, sanitary condition as pro-
vided by an ordinance of the city of
Hattiesburg.
There are many streets in the city
where weeds and grass have grown
at the side of the fences to such
height and in such profusion that
they present more the appearance Of
country lanes than thoroughfares of
prosperous, fourishing city.
Aside from the ugly appearance
caused by this condition, the matter
of health is to be taken into consid
GRAFTON, and it is mainly for this
reason that the sanitary officer will
require the people to keep their
premises clear of weeds and high
grass and other things calculated to
create bad health conditions.
The city has an ordinance which
requires 'all persons living or owning
property within the corporate limits
of the city to keep the same clean of
weeds, grass and other unsightly or
unhealthy Objects" and the sanitary
officer is clothed with authority to
see that the ordinance is enforced
and to arrest and prosecute all those
who fail or refuse to comply with its
provisions.
An ordinance of the same nature,
but applying to railroads exclusively,
was recently adopted by the city
council, but so far it appears that
very little attention has been paid to
it. The New Orleans and Northeast
ern and the New Orleans, Mobile and
Chicago railroads have done some
and little cleaning up In
spots, but ninety per cent of their
right-of-way property remains in the
same condition as before the ordi- |
nance was adopted
Persons who have property abut- |
ling the railroad right-of-way have
been heard to say that there was
little use for them to cut the weeds
md grass from the sidewalks in
'ront of their houses, while a few
eet beyond, on the railroad property,
weeds were allowed to grow neck
iyh and stagnant water allowed to
'epain until the sun dries It up.
1t is the intention of the sanitary
officer to correct all these evils, and
is for this purpose that he has
Notified property owners that they
will be expected to comply with the
erms Of the city ordinances govern
ng this matter.

PASTORS CUT OUT
THEIR VACATIONS
Columbus Preachers Decide They
Will Have to do This in Order to
Keep Their Jobs.


Columbus, Miss, July 21.-For
many years past it has been the GUS
tom of the pastors of the various
churches of Columbus to take long
vacations each summer, but this year
will be an exception, as most of the
ministers have decided to stay at
home.
One divine, who is pastor of one of
the most fashionable churches in the
city, when asked where he was going
to spend the summer, replied: Right
here in Columbus" and when pressed
for reason, declared that he and
his fellow ministers had decided that
in order to hold their jobs they must
eschew summer vacations.
1t seems that last year the pastors
Of practically all the fashionable
churches Of the city took their vaca-
tions synchronously, and that during
their absence the pulpits of their
churches were filled by laymen. These
laymen delivered such short sermons
that they made quite a hit with the
people, and the members of the differ
ent congregations begun to wonder If
they really needed any pastors. They
figured that if the laymen could do
the preaching for six or eight weeks
during the summer, they could do it
church from $500 to $2,500 a year in
pastors salaries. Gossip to this ef-
feet reached the ears of the clergy
men, and they decided that in order to
hold their pulpits it would be neces-
sary to cut out summer vacations.
