Railroad Officials Here.

A meeting of the citizens of Tupelo
with the officials of the Frisco road
was held at the court no use Thursday
afternoon for the purpose of adjusting
some little differences that existed with
reference to the location of the side
tracks and relay station here.
General Manager Gray, General

GSor1aaIss - the Passenger Depart
ment, Mr. viii d tt's Ers;'rss

legal department were present.
Mr.. J. M. Allen slled the meeting to
order and requested Caotain R. S.
Thomas to preside. General Manager
Gray was called on who in few words
stated the trouble and what the road
desired to do. Within a short tin e
Messrs. ]. NJ. Allen and D. w. Robii s
agreed to let the road have sufficient
ground on the north of their track eas t
of the M. & O, upon which to piacs
their tracks andrelay. Theproposition
was accepted by Mr.. Gray and the
work of removing the tracks will be-
gin as soon as pract ibe.
The visit of the officials has served
to allay any objections to the present
conditions. The officials were much
pleased with their reception and the
sentiment that the road will comply
with any reasonable demand is now
prevalent among our citizens.

Reception.

dered a delightful reception on
Thursday evening, Feb. 9th, in
honor of their son. Mr.. Ralph
Thomas, ar bride (nee Miss
Pauline Stokes,) Of Baldwin,
Miss. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
were assisted in ffecsivng by
their daughtez., Mrs. R. l..
Lyon. Fra15pe was dispensed by
Mrs. p. a. Green.
The hostess was gowned in a
black net over satin. Mrs. Lyon
wore a very picturesque white
silk robe, and the bride was ex-
tremely radiant in a champagne
silk trimmed with val lace, crust
ed with pearls.
The home presented a lovely
picture. The decorations were
white, pink and green. Here
and there were banks of ferns
and palms, and the brilliant IL
luminations completed perfect
setting of the scene.
In one corner of the parlor a
bower was formed of white tulle
and ferns, from which was sus-
pended a marriage bell of glim-
mering white silk. under which
the handsome groom with his
lovely bride stood and received
congratulations.
From the parlor the guests
were conducted to the dining
room, a veritable picture of fairy
land. Streamers of white and
pink tulle, twined with aspara-
gus ferns, were suspended from
the corners of the room to the
chandelier, and from there to
the four corners of the table. A
beautiful hand embroidered cloth
over pink adorned the tables,
with an artistic design of flow
ers and maiden-hair ferns as a
center piece. The color scheme
was carried out in a most del
icate and delightful menu. Each
guest received a pretty button

imposing upon the cTeuuilty "
| the public. 1t has been shown,
by testimony under oath, that he
drinks sherry wine and brandy,
also champagne when he visited
Gulfport or travelled with repre-
sentatives of corporations OF Ill
/ 1inois Central trains.
| Vardaman first sought to de-
nounce the Gulf and Ship Island
pss5 as a forgery, but when
evidence was produced to show
he rode on the pass, and the con-
ductor compelled him to sign
his name to it, he resorted to
subterfuge, the vilest kind of
deceit, in order to befog the
issue.
Vardaman's plan of campaign
is an insult, not only to the
voters of the state, but to every
man, woman and child residing
in Mississippi. He resorts to
subterfuge with his own follow
ing, swells with his own import
ance, and declines to discuss the
issues of the day in a clear,
frank manner, even when ad-
dressing a friendly crowd as was
the case in Jackson Friday,
February "a.
There is nothing more clear to
the student of Mississippi politics
than that Vardaman does not
want the voters 70 know the
truth. While demanding the
sunlight of publicity" he is
shrinking from the full truth,
hiding his head in the noise and
confusion made by his followers,
as the ostrich, when pursued,
hides his head in the sand.
But a day of reckoning is at
hand. Subterfuges will not count
with the voters any longer. and
Vardaman may as well make up
his mind to face the music or be
damned by his own duplicity.
1t may take the voters, or
some of them, long time to
realize they have been buncoed
and are being played for, suckers,
but when they do Vardaman's
political sun will forever set in
Mississippi.
How man can have the ef-
frontery to face the public and
demand of the voters their sup
port in such campaign is al
most beyond comprehension.
1t recalls the days of carpet
bag rule in Mississippi, when the
| looters of the south depended
upon the ignorance and prejudice
Iof the negro to plund.aT the
treasury of every southern state

those for which the white mer

the defeat of the bill which pro-
vides for the election of United

of the people. This bill as it was
presented would place in the
hands of the federal government
the supervision Of the election of

States and the people a voice in
the management and holdings of
such elections. The older citi-
zans who recall the experiences
of reconstruction days, the dis
franchisemeat of the whites and
the voting OF the ignorant blacks,
will never agree for the Federal

DOWN AND OUT.

The fact that Solicitor McCabe of the board of chemists of the agricuI- tural department has resigned is most satisfactory news to the reading pub lie; and it is being intimated that MT. Dunlap will never come back from his present leave of absence.
 These are the two men who did all in their power-and it was a good deal-to thwart and nullify the magni- ffcent work of Dr. Wiley in running down the adulterators and misbrand- CTS of foods and medicines McCabe, especially, was out for the Wiley scalp. and admitted it. Together they over ruled the chief chemist on many an important matter. Figuratively speak ing, they had his grave dug and were ready to bury him, and to check the enforcement of the pure food law.
 This puts pr. Wiley on top, with more power than ever; and there is little danger that he will be caught abusing power. He will protect the people.

THE SOCIALIST GAINS.

The socialists have reason to be plea sed with the advance they are making in Connecticut.
 On Monday the socialists of Meri- den cast 755 votes, which is "A more than were cast there a year ago; and they came within ten votes of having the first mayor of the new city of Bristol.
 The socialist party is being helped more by designing politicians than by anything it can do for itself. If the leaders of the dominant parties have no higher purposes than to violate party pledges and to openly poke fun at par ty platforms as exhibitions of hot air, and to design blanket ballots for the explicit purpose of destroying the se- crecy of the ballot and confusing the independent voters of the state by the rechnicslities of the law, and planning to disfranchise citizens when the in tent of the voters is clear enough, 1t is time they were overthrowu.
 The people of Connecticut deserve something better from both the lead ing parties than they are getting, and it is not strange they are losing con fidence in them every day.
