ready hiated. had long Afforded him
infinite diversion. He had several
hours to wait for his train to New
Orleans, and he was delighted to find
that the bookseller, whom he had
known only by correspondence, had
just procured for him, through the
dispersion Of a Georgia planters val
liable library, that exceedingly rare
narrative, THE Golden Gallons Of the
Caribbean" by Domingeuz y Pascual
Ia beautifully bound copy Of the orig.
inal Madrid edition.
With this volume under his arm
Ardmore returned to the hotel where
he was lodged and completed his ar
rangements for leaving It should be
known that Mr. Thomas Ardmore
was a persen Of democratic tastes and
habits. In his New York house we're
two servants whose sole business 1t
was to keep himself and his wardrobe
presentable; yet he preferred to travel
unattended
When he had finished packing his
trunk he went down to the dinner he
had ordered to be in readiness at .
certain hour, at a certain table, care
fully chosen beforehand; for Ardmors
was very exacting in such matters
and had an eye to the comforts Of
life, as he understood them.
As he crossed the hotel lobby on his
way to the restaurant he was acoosted
by a reporter for the Atlanta Palla-
dunn, who began to question him
/ touching various Ardmores who were
just then filing rather more than
their usual amount Of space in the
newspapers. Ardmores family, with
the single exception Of his sister,
Mrs. Atehison, bored him immensely.
His two brothers and another sister,
the duchess Of Ballywinkle, kept the
family name in display type a great
deal Of the time, and their perform
ances had practically driven Thomas
Ardmore from New York The re
porter was a well-mannered youth
and Ardmore shook his hand encour
agingly. He was rather curious to
see what new incident in the family
history was to be the subject Of in
QUESTION and TIE reporter immediate
y set his mind at rest
Pardon me, Mr.. Ardmore, but Is Il
true that your sister, the duchess Of
Ballywinlle, has separated from the
duke?"
Ardmore hesitated and turned his
head cautiously.

Governor Noel borrowed the necea-

30 acres Of land, the property Of Mrs.
J. s. Allen, adjoining the principal
state farm at Parchman, under au'
thority Of chapters 1Ol and 166 Of the
acts Of 1910. The first mentioned act
authorized the executive to borrow
not exceeding $4,000, at a rate not
exceeding 6 per cent interest, for the
purchase Of additional lands, while
the latter authorizes the board Of
trustees to purchase not exceeding
1000 acres, anywhere within the

that such land as acquired must not

Three out Of four South Mississippi
counties which have filed their per
sonal assessment rolls with State
Auditor Smith, show a slight decrease,
as compared with last year. Marion
is the exception, and this county
shows a slight gain.
The counties that show a decrease
are Lincoln, Lawrence and Greene.
In Lincoln, the reduction is due to
the removal Of the Fernwood Lumber
Company's plant, though the differ
ence is but slight The assessment
this year is s2.2O1,SSs, against 81
679,S14 in 1909.
Lawrence county shows S7S7,s60, e.
against s746,O24 last year.
Greene county, for this year, is
s4O2. OOs, against $641,214 last year,
But the decrease in Greene county Is
due to the fact that part Of that
county was cut of to create the coun-
ty Of George. Jackson county, part
Of which was taken for the new coun-
ty, has not been received, and this
county may also show a slight de-
crease.
Marion county shows a gain which
amounts to almost as much as the
three other counties lost. The per
sonal assessment this year is 1884,.
400, as compared with $s74,115.
Lincoln county shows a decrease Of
s6s,94t Lawrence, 4s,O74; Greene,
1898. 206.
Marion's increase is s120,2O5. while
the loss Of the other three counties
is S316.221, leaving a total loss Of
s195,s6 most Of which win be re-
gained when George county's assess
ment IS received.
