Since the retirement of President

Central and the Y. & Nj. V. r.. r. lines.
Hon. S. G. Hatch, who has become
popular all over the circuit as General
Passenger Agent, was promoted to
general manager of transportation.
This was deserved promotion and was
due to the ability shown by MIR. Hatch
during his connection with the passep-
ger agency.
Mr.. Jno. A. Scott, who has been more
in touch with Mississippi, with his
Office at Memphis as Assistant General
Passenger Agent has been given the

ANXIOUS OVER
THE FRUIT CROP.
Warm Weather Is Likely to me an
a Great Disaster.

The anxiety that has prevailed among
the farmers of Mississippi over the
fruit crop has reached the stage Of
genuine alarm, owing to the continued
prevalence of phenomenally warm
weather.
In many parts of the State peach
trees are in full bloom, and pear trees
have commenced to put forth their TO
liage. Many other forms of vegetation
and deciduous trees are showing signs
Of awakening life, and just what will
happen when Mississippi is visited by
the inevitable February freeze can we'll
be imagined.
The exceptional weather is also caus-
ing much uneassness among truck farm
ers, especially in sections where pre-
parations have been made for planting
large acreage in tomatoes and cabbage.
Plants of these varieties now in the
cold frames have taken on such rapid
growth that it is dangerous to keep
hem in cod frames much longer, and
the farmers realize that it will be
equally dangerous to transplant them
to the fields.
Tn, monthly report issued by the
Mississippi department Of the weather
bureau SHOWS that the normal tempera-
ture for the month was eight degrees
above the average, and the eAtremdly
warm weather has had depressing ef-
feet on several lines of business, espe-
cialIy the clothing trade.

BIRD MEN COMING
TO VISIT GREENWOOD
Aviation Meet to be Held here ON
April lot and lIth.

Greenwood is too wide-awake a city
to stay behind the times, ard she has
enjoyed such effective publicity of late
| that the big attractions never slight
her.
| The latest is that the National
Aviators will visit our city on the 10th
ond 1ith of April, an event, of unusual
interest and import to our bustling
| berg.
The Greenwood Lodge B. p. o. 4. S54,
always interested, to every member, in
the material upbuilding and develop
ment Of its home city and alert to every
thing of good import to it, has signed
a contract for the National Aviators to
give their demonstration at STEMS

ways availed itself of ev. ry opportun-
ity to do good for Greenwood, and the
citizens of this community appreciate
their landing of the ''bird men,
Aviators Hamilton, Lieut.. Miller,
John Firshie, and LePreux, are the per-
sonnel of the group that will soar over
the busy streets and roads in and out
of Greenwood. Every human soul
within radius of twenty five miles
will be given an opportunity to witness
these daring aviatorS in their conquest
of the air. Very few of us have had
the opportunity to feast our eyes on
sach; and now since it is within our
grasp, and it can be easily expected
that no less than five thousand visitors
Will throng to Greenwood to witness
this daring exhibition.
Flights will be made daily from
STEMS Park at the end of South
Howard street. In connection with
these exhibitions there will be other
amusements afforded the crowds hero
on these two dates. The feat is being
extensively advertised, and Greenwood
will throw open her gates and be the
same charitable host to the thousands
of guets VINO will be with us that day
TO accept our gracious hospitality.
Prepare for the big event; lets all
cooperate to make the day the biggest
N our history. The meet is of no
import and is blessing for blessing

Curiosities of Superstition.

When Egypt was in the height Of
her power. when she was most highly
civilized and delighted in being called
the mistress of the land and sea. her
people worshiped black bull. There
was some discrimination. however,
even in this form of worship. In order
to be an object of mad alteration 1t was
necessary that the bull calf be born
with a circular white spot in the ex-
act center Of his forehead. and the
advent Of such creature in any herd
was the signal Of wild demonstrations
from the Mediterranean to the border
Of the Lybian desert. Even as late as
the time Of Cleopatra. star eyed god
dess, glorious sorceress of the Nile.
such animals were shod with gold and
had their horns tipped with the same
metal. Herodotus tells of a man who
died with grief because he sold a COW
that soon after became the mother Of a
black bull calf marked with the sacred
white circle in his forehead.

Lead Pencil Experiments.

An English statistician was asked
how many words could be written
with an English lead pencil. and. be-
ing determined to answer it. he bought
a lead pencil and SCOTS ''Ivanhoe"
and proceeded to copy the latter word
by word He wrote 95.6OS words and
then was obliged to stop. for the pen
Gil had become so short that he could
not use it. A German statistician who
heard Of this experiment was dissat-
isfied with it because all the lead in
the pencil was not used on the work,
and therefore he bought pencil and
started to copy a long German novel.
When the pencil was so short that he
could not handle it with his fingers
he attached holder to it. and it is
said that he wrote with this one pen
Gil 100000 words. Possibly. however.
his pencil was longer or the lead In
it was Of a more durable quality.

Alexander Heinemann, the great
German baritone, has come to this
country for second tour of the Unit
ed States. For a decade and a half,
Heinemann has been the favorite in
Berlin. He is heard oftener in the
German capital than any other singer
now before the public; his appearance
in concerts, oratorios and recitals,
numbering at least IS each season.
His rare vocal art and his remarkable
powers of Interpretation have won
friends and admirers wherever he has
sung. One of the most interesting
features of Heinemann's art and re-
markable personality, is the manner
in which he has conquered every nom
German speaking country he has Wis
tied in his brilliant career. Budapest
went wild over him at his first ap-
pearance; in London he received a
loyal welcome, and in the United
States last season, in his first tour of
this country, he created furore.
Heinemann will be heard here Dec. 8
at the Gennett theater.
