WILL SPEND MILLION
Illinois Central Also Proposes to Use
Other Large Sum In South.

w. L. Park of Chicago, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the ILL
nois Central railroad, is quoted in re-
port from New Orleans as saying that
the company will spend about million
dollars for improvements in that vicin-
ity, and that President Markham has
approved the expenditure of large sums
in the South besides this.
The improvements referred to by
Mr.. Park include the double-tracking
from Ponchatoula to New Orleans and
the revision of grades between McComb
City and New Orleans, which work has
all heady been started, and which will
cost something less than million. 1t
is also intended to install automatic
signals and interlocking in the vicinity
of the city, and this will cost in addi-
tion about 800, 900. In fact, all along
the line improvements, which were
suspended Immediately after the panic,
will be generally resumed.
Locomotives and cars, to cost severa
millions of dollars, have recently beer
ordered, and most of them will be de-
livered within the next few months. =

China Painting

Is an art that especially appeals to
women of culture, not only because of
the pleasure derived directly from its
pursuit, but also because of its place in
the identifying of the home. And, be-
sides being cultural art, it may be ap-
piled in profitable ways, 1t is good
antidote both for nervousness and en-
nui, tending to mental poise and re-
fined judgment, while combining pleas
ure and employment.
The growing demand for decorated
china ard for teachers of keramic art,
offers exceptional opportunities to wo-
men who fit themselves for, and apply
themselves to this work.
The National Keramic Art Cores.
pondence School, Washington, D. c.,
announces q method by which this
pleasant and profitable art may be sue
cessfully learned at the homes Of stu
dents through a series of lessons, by
mail, with criticisms of actual worl
submitted, and individual instruction
I
accompanying.
The expense is nominal compared
with that usually incurred in going tt
the cities to take direct lessons, ant
the instruction given is more thorough
and complete, including not only tn
usual directions, but also careful in
struction in the principles underlying
the art, which are not usually explaine'
by teachers.
All instructors Of the school are ex
perienced masters of the art.
Earnest students who will work a
the art can earn more than their tu
tion expenses while learning.

PROF. A. II. FLLETT DEAD
Was an Able Man and One of States
Best Educators.

On Thursday, April 6, death
claimed Prof. A. H. Elicit of
Blue Mountain as its victim.
He was born near Cascilla, in
Tallahatchie county. forty-eight
years ago.
In his death the editor of this
paper lost one of his best and
noblest friends and he has expert
enced sorrow that rarely comes
to man, over this sad event.
Prof. Elicit was one of the
purest-minded men the writer
ever knew. He was a grand char
acter as a boy. He walked up
rightly. The sunshine of heaven
was beautifully reflected in his
conduct, in his speech and in
those sublime characteristics that
stamped him an exalted individ-
ual. The one who pens these lines
and Al. Elicit were boys to-
gether. They were together in
the schoolroom and in their re-
spective homes. They together
looked into the distant future and
laid plans which have meant so
much to both. The tie between
us was bound not by the edicts of
earth, but by the principles born
in that celestial city that knows
no halting or doubling.
He was man of great ability
and of much learning. He had
that learning that does not make
men vain-only big men conceal
their vanity. Mississippi has lost
jewel in him. 1t indeed seems
to be a strange dispensation of
Providence that such as he are
called from their earthly laoors
while 1.-The fields are ripe unto
the harvest. But the great Ar
{ chitect makes no errors. A. H.
Elicit finished his task and God
called him higher. May we who
survive him emulate his charac-
, ter and be as true to all duties as
he was To his aged mother, de-
voted daughter and other rela-
tives we can only say that you
weep not alone.

. publication last week. 1t was pre-
: pared by the editor of this paper

EASTER SERVICES.
Pastors Deliver Very Appropriate
DiSC0urSeS.

Sunday, April l6, was Easter. The
pastors OF the several churches all de-
livered very appropriate discourses.
The writer had the opportunity of
hearing Rev. ]. R. Countiss, president
OF Grenada College, at the Methodist
church, and the universal verdict on
the sermon was, that it was one of the
best ever heard in the Methodist
church, a place noted for its great pull
pit deliverances. He showed that the
resurrection was the natural outcome
Of life. He connected most happily the
sublime with the mundane, heaven
with the practical things of life. He
mirrored d the hope of everlasting
life and the resurrection, before his
hearers in such way that those who
are even usually careless in their at
tention, we're forced to get divine
conception of Gods love, His plans for
His children and the justice and GER
tainty of His judgments.
All the churches had lovely flowers,
in token Of their appreciation of the
day celebrated.
Sunday night, at the First Baptist
church Rev. A. P. Ball of Winona
preached sermon for the Knights
Templar. The Sir Knights were out
in uniform and the scene was quite i'm
posing.
The other churches called off the
night services to participate in this
one.
