New Rail Read for hatcher.

According TO published reports Nat
chez has another railroad projected in
her direction from the East, and no boz
nui nor aid Of consequence has thus far
BEEN asked, which is something rausual
with railroad building these days.
It is said the surveys have been prae-
ticslly completed, general rights of way
secured and the contracts let for its con-
struction from Meridian to Natchez, and
the most that will be asked of the city
win be depot site and terminal facilities
which would be an extremely cheap
price, easily within the gift of the city,
without imposing hardship or burden
On any.
Natchez seems to be forging ahead in
thematter Of railroad and other facilities
and it would not scrprise the Gazette it,
within the next eight or ten years a rail
read bridge will be erected at that point
that will he utilized by all the South
western systems in the Panama-Paci6'
and Oriental Coast trade.
This may appear like an Utopiar
dream, but it isn't when it is vieweC
from q logical and reasonable standpoint

s. II. coRDILL.

All that was mortal Of the late Stephen
III. Cortlill, of Franklin parish, La, was
laid at rest yesterday in the city ceme-
terry. The last sad rites were performed
by those who were near and dear to him,
though in life he loved all mankind and
held all his fellow-men dear in heart.
This great-hearted son of noble parents
was man of wealth, whose home, heart
and purse were open 20 all corners; who
sought in every possible way, save that OF
ostentation, to contribute TO the welfare
and happiness of all men, women and
children within reach, and for many be-
yond the radius Of his parish, for no call
for relief was heard by him without re-
ceiving prompt and ready response.
His home, presided over by loving
and devoted wife and mother, quite often
resembled a large hotel, for it was the
scene of numerous gathering, large and
small, bat never too large for this gener-
Gus heart-whole host and his loving help
meet.
He was man who held the broadest
views OF life, believing that il should be
invested with as much sunshine and hap
piness as the hours could give. He real
lied tllPt care and trouble would come
without being sought, and sought to serve
his lellow-men by giving OF his means to
soften their burthens.
Liberal in all things, he bsjd The love
and esteem of all who knew him, and
the memory of what he was in life will
live in their hearts until they have been
called to join him on that echoless shore,
where all is radiant with the happiness
and sunshine of eternal life.
The subject of the above notice in the
Natchez Democrat, Stephen H. Cordill,
was born in this parish, on the 'Barcel-
ona" plantation, near Waterproof, and
was the son of Mr.. Joseph Cordill, long
a resident of this parish and the eldest
brother OF Hon. G.. G. Cordill.
Mr.. Stephen Cordill had many friends
and acquaintance in Tensas who knew
his sterling worth as a man and who
will hear with regret the news of his un,
timely death.

IT'S BALES ON 100 ACRES.
MitcheIl's Re-Improved Cotton Seed
Produces Marvellous Results.

VIM. Swan, manager of the "Briers''
plantation, twenty miles South of Nat
chez, was in the CITY yesterday and said
that he made one hundred and fifteen
bales of cotton on one hundred acres,
each weighing more than five hundred
pounds.
The above is from the Natcbez Demo
crat of issue of December 18th, 1911.
The variety of cotton seed used in this
crop was Rumble & Wensel Company
MitchelPs Early Prolific Yield (Re-Im-
proved Early King).
Our readers will recall that last spring
we published a picture of Mitchelps
so bale---S0 acre feld---s75 pounds OF
lint cotton on the best acre. This is the
established record in the entire boil
weevil territory.
Messrs. Rumble & Wensel Co. of Nat
chez, Miss, are the general agents for
the entire South for Mr.. Mitchell, the
North Carolina Cotton Seed Breeder.
These reliable, energetic, scientific seed
specialists in Natchez, Miss, have the
honor of holding the record corn yield
of the entire South 1911 crop. Twas their
"New Era" variety of seed corn that
produced for the Southern boy champion
227 bushels of corn on one acre, this at
the low cost of l4c per bushel. The
Rumble & Wensel Co. introduced this
variety to the Southern States in the
spring of l9lO---they are the exclusive
distributors of the only scientific breeder
Of the "New Era" variety. This variety
of corn being produced for them in Mis-
sissippi.
The Rumble & Wensel Co. enjoy the
confidence of the United Staff Depart
ment of Agriculture, as is evidenced by
the recent order that the Department
placed with them.

ODD SLANG BY

LINGO BUT FAMILY UN-

The talk of trainmen is about as rich
in picturesque slang as any in this
land Of free ard fancy speech. Some
Of the lingo can be understood even by
;he outsiders. A side door Pullman, "
for instance, is common way of re-
ferring to a boXcar. But most of the
phrases are Greek to the uninitiated.
Taking her by the neck" for exam
pie, is used when an engine Is made to
pull heavy drag up a steep hill
or around n sharp curve.
Once at the top of the grade the
"hoggcr' Just lets her drift" plug

the throttle is closed by a quick mo-
ton Of the left hand while at the same
time the reverse lever is thrown back
With the right hand. This is not cal
oulated to do any good to engine
frames and cylinders and is resorted 20
only in great emergencies. II isn't So
common since the introduction Of au-
tomato air.
An old boXcar or a small building
occupied as the yardmaster's office is
known as the "doghouse." 1t is some
times used to Indicate the small four
wheeled caboose used by some roads
at the tail end OF freight trains. This
