the upbuilding of the commonwealth.
The results in Forrest county in yes

distinct surprises, but in most of them
the result could have been forecasted
after the first primary. showing which

and fancy ices in Mississippi is evi-
denced by the extensive improvements
to be made by the Purity Ice Cream
Co., of this city, in the very near fu-

C. T. Hollinger, business manager
of this firm, has just returned from an
extended business trip to st. Louis
and other northern points, where he
has been purchasing modern and labor
saving machinery for all departments,
preparatory to making extensive i'm
provements which the entire factory
will undergo early this fall.
A large addition will be made to
the present building and every depart
ment will be equipped with the very
latest improved machinery. One Of
the largest additions in the machinery
line will be a new 200 gallon capacity
cream mixer, which the management
realized would be necessary to take

as they come from the freezers.
The Purity Ice Cream Co. was es-

der the management of Messrs. Holl-

with success far beyond the expecta-

of this concern from the beginning
has been "Purity and Cleanliness and
Judging from the patronage accorded
them, they have been well rewarded

manufacturing such a product

grade of cream at the same price,
than heretofore, thus giving the trade
every advantage to patronize home

Trustees With a Dutch Supper at
Night.

The members of the Board of Trus'

in this city this evening and tomorrow
will meet in the directors room of the
Hattiesburg Bank 4 Trust Company
to canvass the bids and award con-
tracts for the erection of the buildings
for the college.
A banquet will be rendered the trus-
tees by the Commercial Club this eve
ming at the Hotel Hattiesburg and
number of the trustees have signified
their intention to be on hand tonight
and partake of the hospitality Of the
club. The event will be in the nature
of "Dutch Lunch" but the liquids
that generally characterize such occas-
ions will be conspicuously absent. A
large number of the membership Of
the club will be in attendance at the
lunch tonight and the affair promises
to be a pleasant one. Toasts will
probably be replied to by members of
the club and trustees.
The task before the trustees tomor-
row will be a hard one and a large
part of the day will doubtless be taken
up in the work of going over the bids
submitted. The published call for
bids reserved the right to reject any
or all bids, but it is barely probable
that out of the number that will be
submitted, the trustees will fail to de
, eide on awarding the contracts to
morrow,
It is not known if any of the Local
contractors will submit bids as the
plans and specifications did not arrive
! in Hattiesburg until short time ago
hardly giving the contractors sufficient
time in which to get estimates on ma
terial and prepare bids.
