The business is a valuable one and has
been for many years the largest fur
niture trade in this section of New Eng
land, established in 1872 by Clark Chase
who built it up to large proportions un-
til he retired in 1899, selling to the late
James e. Keefe who had been a clerk
for him many years. Mr.. Keefe died
suddenly nearly a year ago and the
business has been conducted since by
his widow. Now Mr.. Fenton adds 1t to
his former clothing trade, which he has
most successfully conducted here %
years. His clothing business Is located
on the south side of the square, while
his furniture trade is on the west side in
a three story brick block, OF which the
store occupies half on the ground floor
and all of the second and third stories,
giving unexcelled facilities for showing
goods in their line.

STATE MAY FURNISH
HOG CHOLERA SERUM

Jackson, Miss, Feb. Zone bill
that was hailed with a great deal of
acclaim by the farmers of the legisla-
ture is that introduced by Mr.. Hemp
hill, of Carroll county, requiring the
veterinarian of the Mississippi agri-
cultural experiment station to manu-
facture hog cholera serum for distribu-
ton in the state at a cost calculated
upon the actual cost of the manufac-
ture and with such profit only as will
keep the work going. The bill was
called up in the house Friday, but the
matter of the fees had not been ad-
justed to the satisfaction of every
body and the bill was reeommitted to
the committee on agriculture to be
perfected.
The desperate need of something of
the sort in Mississippi is to make per-
manent strides forward as hog rails
ing state was illustrated in a little
talk made by Mr.. Carothers of Lee
county. He said that a short time
ago a prominent farmer of his county
had so fine, blooded hogs. The
| cholera got among them and he
did not have one left. There was
another farmer in the county who had
60 fine hogs; out of that lot he saved
| about six.
DR.. Crenshaw stated that the need
of something of the sort was great;
that in Pamela county there was an
outbreak of cholera, and he sent tc
Memphis and got the serum through a
wholesale drug store, but it cost about
| So per hog to get enough and that was
too much. He saved his hogs, and he
knew the serum was an absolute spe
cific, but his neighbors were not able
to pay that much for it and lost theil
! hogs.

SERIOUS BLAZE
NARROWLY AVERTED
Ashes Left In Box over Blount's
Store Burn Large Hole
In Floor.

Ashes dumped into a box that con-
tanned paper, came near causing what
might have been a serious confiagra-
ton but for the prompt arrival of the
fire department about dusk Sunday
afternoon. There are several offices
above the store of N. B. Blount on
Main street, and the box containing
the ashes having been placed in the
hall of the building, caught fire and
burned large hole in the floor when
found.
The fire was discovered in time to
be extinguished before very much
damage was done, but the department
received scare over what might have
proved very serious blaze.
A vacant building was fired by un.
known parties yesterday morning and
being located a considerable distance
out of town, was completely burned
before the department reached the
scene. The building was a very old
structure and had not been occupied
for long ime. 1t was beyond DR.

our common schools covering the
course mentioned we have several
high schools in the county covering
three years additional work. In ad-
dition to these advantages We will
open at the beginning of the next
school term an Agricultural High
School, which is located at Brooklyn.
The county acquired through the gen.
erous gift of the good people of the
Brooklyn community three hundred
and twenty acres of beautiful land on
which to establish this school. 1t is
the purpose of the promoters of the
school to make it one of the best in
the state. Beautiful academic and
dormitory buildings will be erected,
each having all modern conveniences.
The school will carry up-to-date de-
partments in the following subjects:
Agriculture, Live Stock, Manual Train
ing, Domestic Science and Academic.
Other departments will soon be added.
Pupils who attend this school will re-
ceive free tuition just as they do in
all the other public schools of the
county and board and incidental ex-
penses will be held at minimum
cost. The revenues for the support
of our public schools are derived
mainly from three sources: State
appropriation, which is based upon
educable population in the county
poll tax collected in the county and
special levy on the taxable property

There has been no advance In

but the market remains firm,and man.

Some of the manufacturers are pre-

The prevailing spirit among the mill

were 25,S74 barrels Of rosin, and 22b,

This is one of the largest mills in the
southwestern part of the state, being
valued at about 100000. The com

One of the greatest factors in Undue |

E. A. Cummings & Company, Land
Commissioners, Mississippi Central
Railroad, Hattiesburg, Miss.
In reply to your request of recent
date relative to Educational conditions
in this county, beg to submit the fol-
lowing information
Permit me to state that it is the pol
icy of our State to provide advan-
tages by which every child within the
bounds of the state may secure a
common school education; but the
working out of the general plan and
the bringing together the opportunity
and the child are left largely with the
individual county; hence the informa-
ton which this article is tended to
furnish has reference to Forrest
county.
We are glad to be able to state that
every community in the county with
sufficient educable population has a
| good school established within its
bounds. Our school districts are sup
| posed to embrace about nine square
miles of territory. Should that
amount of territory be found where a
school is not already established for
the want of educable population said
school would be established just as
soon as the community is settled up
by families requiring school advan-
tages. Our school law is elastic in
the sense that should several small
schools-say Of one teacher-desire
to combine and thereby establish a
strong central school the law author

pense of the county be given the chill
