CAIRO TO INVITE SON
OF CHARLES DICKENS HERE

The Cairo Woman's Club is TAX
ing the initiative in trying to have
Alfred Tennyson Dickens, eldest son
of Charles Dickens, the novelist make
Cairo visit and give a lecture here
at the Opera House.
A meeting was held yesterday af-
ternoon of a committee appointed
for the purpose at the residence Of
Mrs. J. T.. Strong
The committee is composed OF Mrs
Strong, chairman; Mrs, Samuel
White and Mrs. Il. s. Dewey.
Through correspondence it was
learned that the only date left open
that could be possibly given was
Nov. 80, and the Opera House can
be engaged for that date. The ladies
will try to induce the local CONNER
cial organizations to back them in
financing the project and thus forti-
fled they will make the contract for
the appearance of Mr.. Dickens The
burea that has charge OF Mr.. Dick
ems lecture tour claims he does not
stop at any but the larger cities and
that as the illustrious father of the
lecturer had seen Cairo at its worst
and told of in his American Notes"
ii might be well for the son to visit
the place and make a contrast. Mr.,
Dickens will lecture at Chicago, then
st. Louis Nov rs Afterward he
goes to Dallas, Texas, II he does not
stop at Cairo.

WILL MOVE TO DIXIE.
Rush Culver Has Purchased Big Plan
tation in the South.

Rush Culver, a former mayor Of Mar
quette and one of the best known men
of the county purchased a plantation
in northern Louisiana on his recent trip
through the South and next fail he in
tends to move there and become a
southern farmer He has not yet de-
termined whether he will assume the
title of Colonel" thus renouncing his
northern connections entirely, but the
chances are that he won't.
Mr.. and Mrs. Culver left for the
South about a month ago over the b.
81 N. railroad from Chicago. They
first stopped at Nashville. where they
were much interested in old battle
fields, and from there went To Mont
gomery, Ala, the capital Of the Con-
federacy. They reached New orleans
in time for the Mardi Gras, which
they enjoyed immensely, after which
Mr.. Culver took swing northward
with the result before mentioned.
owing to recent inroads of the boil
weevil in the cotton raising district of
northern Louisiana, many of the
planters have become frightened and
the result is that lands are being Of
fered in that section at very low prices.
Taking advantage of what he believes
to be a favorable opportunity for in
vestment. Mr.. Culver purchased a
plantation near Monroe on the Was
hita river. consisting Of 500 acres
farming land and 200 of timber. He
will make another visit to the planta-
ton in about six weeks and has
agreed to take possession Sept. 1.
Mr. Culver is of the opinion that the
boil weevil is but a temporary menace
20 the cotton raising industry. and
that it will either be eradicated or
disappear as suddenly as it came
within a few years. In any case, he
says the land is well adapted to other
crops, such as corn, oats, etc, even If
cotton growing should not prove a sue
cess i'm the future.
