Noxubee Agricultural High School.

1t is most beautifully situated
at Mashulaville in a very health
full locality, with pure freestone
water bountifully supplied.
We have two magnificent two
story buildings, a we'll construct
ed school building and a domitory
large enough to accommodate
forty boarding pupils, a small IL
brary containing some good books
and other reading matters. forty
two acres of land, a pair of
bouncing good mules, a wagon
and some useful agricultural i'm
plements.
Owing to the late completion
and financial depression. we were
unable to equip and occupy it
the present session. However,
through the hospitality Of the
homes situated near by, several
boarding pupils have been added.
We have for our principal Prof.
J. w. Whitworth. who formerly
taught in A. & M. College. He
is a young man Of fine moral
character and very enthusiastic
agricultural educator. For onr
primary teacher we have Mrs. 0.
E. Hurst. one of Noxubee's most
experienced and painstaking
teachers.
We hope in the near future to
add to our school music, art and
elocution and also other industrial
trainings especially beneficial to
our young ladies.
The scnool is suspended just at
present on account Of measles,
but will begin again in a few
days. During this time Prof.
Whitworth and the young man
employed to assist him, are busi-
ly engaged in preparing his land,
planting, etc.
Forty children can find board
near the school at a very low
figure.
While our school is only in it's
infancy now, however, we shall
endeayor, with the cooperation
of the people, to have in the near
future a school at Mashulaville
that Noxubee county will be
proud of. II.

Cathey Carleton Killed.

Yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
the first fatal accident occurred on the
Copper River & Northwestern railroad,
which resulted in the death of Cathey
Carleton, fireman on rotary train No.
1. he being crushed between the tank
of engine number 20 and the rotary
caboose.
A binding snow storm was ranging
and it was necessary for the passenger
train to closely follow the rotary. At
ter leaving Miles Glacier, and just this
side of mile 81, large piece of ice had
fallen on the track. This held up the
rotary, but the train following could
not see the rotary or hear the signals,
and an unfortunate rear end collision re-
suited.
Carleton was evidently going from
the rotary to the caboose at the time
and when the shock came dropped be-
tMeen the cars. One of his legs was
cut off and he lived but three or four
minutes.
Deceased was one of the popular en-
ploye7 of the railroad, who had a host
of friends here and along the line. He
was about 90 years of age aud married.
his wife residing in New York. One of
the pathetic features of his death was
the fact that there is registered letter
in the postoffice to be forwarded to his
wife On tonight's steamer, sending for
her to come to Cordova and join her
husbaup.::
Carleton's remains will be brought to
town on tonight's train, where he will
be embalmed and shipped to his home

The editor of one of the papers
supporting Maj. Vardaman re
marked recently that he had been
able to find absolutely nothing
from a perusal of Senator Percy's
speech in opposition to the Suther-
land amendmet to justify the claim
that Mr.. Percy favors the election
of Senators by the people. We
give below for the benefit of this
doubling Thomas and other mis-
guided souls, the very first para
graph of the printed speech of Sen
ator Percy:
E'Mr. President: In speaking on
the the joint resolution providing
for the election of senators by the
people with the sO-called Suther-
land amendment, | have no eX
pectatiOn of contributing any
thing to the able and exhaustive
discussion of that subject we have
just heard from the senator from
Georgia, Mr.. Bacon). And yet
| desire to present briefly and
somewhat informally the reasons
why, although supporting the joint
resolution as it LDdS reported from
the committee, | am unable to
support it in it's present shape"
