CITY'S GROWTH
PLAINLY SHOWN
BY It's Postal Recelpts-Aattiesbura
One of Four First-class
State Offices,

It is easy to say town or city is
growing, but when some of them
come to proving the assertion, they
find themselves up against a difficult
task, because the alleged growth is
of that subtle, windy variety that
cannot be located or verified by fact
or figure.
Not so with Hattiesburg. Here will
be found ample evidence on every
hand in every line of endeavor to sus-
tain every assertion made relating to
the city's growth.
Nothing indicates a city's growth
and prosperity better than its post
office receipts.
The number of postoffces In the
United States on June So 1910, was
$3.50: of this number, only 39S were
of the frst-class and Hattiesburg is
one of the 39S.
There are only four first-class post
offices in the state of Mississippi,
viz; Hattiesburg, Jackson, Meridian
and Vicksburg.
The gross receipts from the sale of
stamps, stamp paper. box rents, etc,
must be at least 100000 per an
mum for a postoffice to be of the first
class.
Hattiesburg has been in the first
class list for several years, and not
wthstanding last year not being as
lively one in some respects as past
years, the postal receipts were entirely
satisfactory.

LARGE MODERN
HOME CERTAINTY
Mr.. G. W. Hamper Has Let The Con-
tract-Leased BY Mrs. J. L.
kearney.

The large modern residence that
Mr.. G. w. Hamper has been consider
ing building is now a certainty.
Mr.. Hamper has contracted with
Mr.. w. c. Bennett, the well-known
contractor, to erect the house, and
Mr.. Bennett has already commenced
his preparations to start the work.
The residence will be erected on
the lot on the corner of Buschman
street and River avenue, fronting
Buschman street, and the cottage now
on the lot will be moved to another
location.
Mrs. J. l.. Kearney has leased the
house for term of years, and Mrs.
Kearney's popularity as hostess has
resulted already in applications for
every room in the new structure. This
of course not only assures Mrs. Kear-
ney success, but is positive proof that
Mr.. Hamper is making no mistake in
giving this much needed improvement
to Hattiesburg.
The building will have twenty-one
rooms; it will be steam heated, elec-
trio lighted, and nearly all the sleep
ing rooms will be connected with pri-
vate baths The bath rooms will be
so arranged as not to open directly
into the living rooms; but will open
into private Railways connecting the
rooms. Each room will have clothes
closet of its own, the plan being fash
ioned after that adopted by all mod
ern up-to-date hotels. The bed rooms
will be large and we'll ventilated; the
smallest being Is by is feet.
The reception hall at the entrance
will be 20 by 20 feet, connecting will
a library or sitting room 20 by 20 feet
which will in turn be connected b!
double doors with the dining room
which will be 20 by 80 feet. A larg'
porch, ten feet wide, will extent
across the entire front of the hous
and to the River avenue side, ant
everything will be done to make it
most desirable home.
, The work will be rushed to earl
, completion, and Mr. Bennett promise
to have the building ready for occu
pancy inside of ninety days.
, All of Mrs. Kearney's present famil
| of boarders will move with her to he
new home.

GREAT SOUTHERN

Atlanta, Ga, March Final prep
arations were concluded today for well
coming to Atlanta the hundreds of dis
statesmen, captains of in
dustry and commercial leaders who

former being "a Greater Nation

BALL and BAT
MAKING MUSIC
The 1911 Champions Have Commenced
to Practice-Some of the
Arrivals.

The swat of the bat against the ball
is the sweet music at Hamper Park
this afternoon.
Manager Smith is not letting any
grass grow under the feet of the 1911
champions. He is going after the flag
and means to get it, so has introduced
the players to real work on this, the
first day of their arrival.
Eight players have so far reported,
nine, counting the mangger, and 1t is
indeed pleasure to see the familiar
faces of Tutwiler and Semmes among
them. Smith, Jones, Matthews,
Antley, Bhrown, Semmes and
Tutwiler are here and seven
others will be on hand tomor-
row. Manager Smith rounded them
all up this morning, gave them quiet
talk and ordered all to take the 1
o'clock car to the park. Condition" "
first last and all the time is what
Manager Smith thinks 1t takes to play
winning ball and he wants to take ad.
vantage of this fine warm weather to
get in the first touches. OF course
the work for the first few days will
be light and easy, and then will stiffer
up as soon as fabby muscles get ac
customed to exercise.
From the looks of the players, how
ever, they are in pretty good condi
tion already. And they are a hare
working lot, and have not been con
sidering the lilly to any great exten
during the winter. Tutwiler looks al
hard and active as he did at the clos
of last season. Tut's people believe il
a boy working, and they have bee
watching Tut put in some good har
work for the Tennessee Coal & Iro
Co. during the winter. Will Semme
has been working in a grocery stor
at Meridian. and we all know tha
the grocery business is no bed of ro
es. Will has been in excellent healt
since the first of the year, and hi

NEXT FRIDAY
LIBRARY DAY
VIII be Observed by the Public
Schools Of the state-Much In
terest Manifested.

Ne8t Friday is library day" in the
public schools of the state, when a
general movement will be started to
establish a good library at every pub
lie school in Mississippi.
Some of the schools have pretty
fair libraries, but others have none at
all, and Miss Susie V. Powell. in
charge Of the school improvement
work, has undertaken to create such
sentiment in every school district
that the necessary books can be Sc
cured.
Patrons of the schools are showing
much interest in the movement, and
library day promises to be a success.
Miss Powell has prepared a tentative
program, suggesting how the day
should be observed, which she has
mailed out to the principals of all the
schools in the state Suggestion is
also made as to the plan of organiza-
tion and methods for raising the nee
essary funds are proposed in the pro.
gram. This program, if carried out
by the school children, will be both
interesting and instructive.

title the holder to one dozen eggs for
ten cents. The advertisements ap-
peared in the evening papers, and on
the following morning the streets in
the neighborhoods of all the stores
were almost blocked with women.
Special police had to be assigned to
keep the anxious bargain seekers from
fighting each other in their anxiety to
take advantage of the great offer. AL

(By Associated PreSS.)

Washington, March IA mysterious
message despatched from the War De-
partment last night, ordering twenty
thousand troops to the Texas border
and a feet of war vessels to Texas
waters developed today. 1t provides
for the most severe test of the Ameri-
can army machinery ever attempted
. outside of times Of war.
The orders flashed from the war de-
partment last night arranging for the
imposing martial demonstration in
Texas seemed astounding Wild ru-
mors few about in army circles. Army
men admitted frankly they didn't know
what the movement meant and men,
bers of the general staff of tn Presi-
dent and his cabinet only knew the
inner significance of the attempt to
transport one-fourth of the American
army to the borders of neighboring
nation.
The mysterious maneuvering of the
army was explained this morning and
II came as if in answer to the charges
that the land army of the American
forces is not prepared for actual war
fare.

entire United States army will be con
centrated in the department of Texas
The fleet of warships will assemble of

MISS YAW'S fine
Voice PLEASED
Soprano Deserves Praise Not Only for
High Note, But for Finished
Performance.

v The Toledo, Ohio, Blade speaks very
complimentary Of Miss Ellen Beach
Yaw, who appears in Hattiesburg at
the Auditorium tonight under the au-
spices of the Hattiesburg Choral Club.
The Blade says:
The fame of Miss Ellen Beach Yaw,
who sang at the Zenobia last evening,
has been spread abroad chiefly by re-
ports of the phenomenally high range
of her voice. These reports are true,
but sufficient emphasis has not been
placed upon the depth and beauty of
| her medium and lower tones, which
are bell-like and resonant in quality,
without touch of the thinness that
frequently mars high soprano voices.
Miss Yaw sings the most difficult
music with exquisite phrasing and
shading. She invests her singing with
an intelligent Interpretation of the
composers meaning, to which she
adds grace with her wonderful ease
of execution. Her opening number
was the familiar coloratura aria from
La Traviata." She sang this with
zephyr-like delicacy, touching high
G in the finale in pure, clear tone
that sounded like the note of a bird
For an encore she greatly pleased the
: audience with the ripping, coquettist
French laughing song which Charlotte
Patti used with so much success il
the days Of her glory.
At her second appearance. Mis-
Yaw sang a group of three songs il
French, German and English. The.
were taking things, and their charn
of melody was enhanced by the DIRE
! matte manner in which they we're gi,
en-; manner that revealed Mis-
Yaw's ability as an actress, as we
as singer.
The bell song from Lakme, which
among the highest music written, Mis-
Yaw sang in the original key, doin
exceptionally fine work in the reeit
tive. This required full use of he
middle voice, and brought out tt
brilliance and richness of her tones.
is The encore following the bell sor
m was the ever-popular Annie Laurie
y The sweet old song was made tt
IL sweeter by Miss Yaw's sympathet
Is musicianship and clear pronunciatio
At It is not Miss Yaw's voice alone tn;
't is heard in her songs, for she has Ii
gift of perfect enunciation and pr
Il nounces English words beautifully.
y was pleasure both to hear and Sc
s. this artistic of unique voice and equa
o ly unique personality.
