NORTHEASTERN TO
BEAU7IFY GROUNDS

The New Orleans & Northeastern
Railroad company will set an example
of civic improvement by converting
it's vacant grounds surrounding the
new passenger station into beauti-
full garden of evergreens and flowers,
Superintendent Flanagan having
made a special trip to the city yester-
day, in company with a landscape
gardener from New Orleans, for the
purpose of getting the work under
way.
Mr.. Flanagan, assisted by Agent
Singleton, proposes to make of these
vacant grounds one of the most at
tractive spots on the line of the
Northeastern railroad. Beautiful
shrubbery will be planted on the
south and east side of the station,
fronting Newman street, and hedgo
of evergreens will border the curb
from Mable street to the north end
of the station on Newman street.
The ground will be graded and lev
eled and sodded with evergreen grass.
es. while roses, palms and other
plants will be interspersed with
smaller blossoming plants, and the
entire work of preparing the grounds
! will be in charge of an expert land
scape gardener.
After the planting shall have been
| finished, it is the company's intention
to employ a man regularly to lool
after these rardens and keep then
trimmed and cultivated The worl
which the company proposes to do il
this line in Hattiesburg will necessi
tate the expenditure Of several hun
bred dollars, it is said, but the resul
will be one of the most attractiv
places to be, found in Mississippi
Superintendent Flanagan and Agen
Singleton are to be congratulated up
on furnishing the first example o
civic improvement in Hattiesbure
and II Is hoped that their lead will b.
| followed by individuals until Hatties
| burg will be known as the most beau
ltkul city In Mississippi.

time. Clerk Smith of the house ana
Secretary Robertson of the senate
will have the work of preparing these
reports for the printer, while Repre-
sentative Herbert Holmes must look
after the contingent fund report copy.
Stenographer Firth is nearing COM
pletion of his transcription, which
will be ready for Mr.. Holmes Satur-
day, when he and other members VIII
furnish copy for the latter report and
see that it is promptly in hand and
ready for Mr. Smith to go over and
correct Stenographer Firth, who
took most of the testimony before
the house probe committee, has near
ly completed his work, and has notr-
fled Mr.. Holmes, who probably will
come to Jackson Saturday to go over
the testimony before it is forwarded
to Mr. Smith at Greenville and from
there to the printer.
Mr. Smith also has charge of the
contingent fund report, which he is
preparing for the printer, and which
will be issued in a short time. These
reports, when printed, are to be for
warded to the members of the legis-
lature for their information
1t is understood there was some
rather sensational testimony before
the house probe committee, which
may be the first of the reports off the
press, and which is awaited with
much interest. The senate report is
known, as to the material points, al
ready, but it is to be issued for the
information of members of the legis-
lature and the public generally.
