PRINCE ARTHUR is 29.

London, Jan. 13.-Prince Arthur of
Connaught, son Of the Duke of Con-
naught, now governor-general of Can
eda, and cousin of King George, is
today celebrating his twenty-ninth
birthday. During the absence of the
King in India and of the Duke in
America, the handsome young Prince
has been the only adult male member
of the royal family left in England
and has been called jokingly the
acting King"
Prince Arthur is the tallest men,
ber of the royal family, as well as
the handsomest and one might almost
say. except for lese majestic, the
most popular with the people. AS a
sportsman and an athlete and d
hunter of big game he has won golden
opinions in Canada, Africa and Rus
sia, as well as at home, and in the
American Dominion especially he has
made myriads of friends. Democratic
in tastes, he puts on no side" as a
scion of royalty. AS boy his great.
est ambition was to become a watch
maker-an ambition which, of course,
did not meet with the favor of his
parents.

MOORE BROS. end
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Past Twelve Month A Record
Breaker For This
Firm.

1t requires splendid business judg-
ment and the most conservative man.
agement to attain Success in the re-
tail grocery business. These two es-
sentials have been dominant in the
conduct of the business of the Moore
Brothers Grocery Company, (which
has just closed its fifth successful
year in Hattiesburg, and to that wise
management and good judgment may
be attributed the success of this en-
terprising firm.
Commencing business five years ago
with its future to be made, this store
has seen a handsome increase in its
business and numbers of satisfied GUS
toners from year to year until today,
at the beginning of its sixth year, the
business is second to none in the
state in its particular branch of the
mercantile trade. The managem ent
has just cause to be proud of the
showing made in those five years, all
the more so, when it is taken into con-
sideration that the business was
launched shortly before the panic
which caused such business depres-
sion and stagnation in every line for
many months. Moore Brothers store
is oNe of those, whose policy of con-
servative retrenchment and determi-
nation to weather that wave of de-
preston, resulted in placing the new
business on a substantial basis and
when a brighter day dawned it was
prepared to reap the benefits. The
increasing business has made is neces.
sary to charge quarters twice since
organization and increased facilities
for handling the trade have been
necessary. The present home of the
business on Main street is one of the
best equipped in the state for the
conduct of modern, sanitary family
grocery, which it is in every respect.
The officers of the Moore Bros
Grocery Company are H. A. Moore
president; M. NJ. Moore, secretary
treasurer, and w. NJ. Edmonson, vice
president, the two former of whom
have served In these capacities since
the business was organized and the
latter three years and to them is due
the credit for the fiattering trade they
have built up

RECORD IN COLLECTIONS

Having closed up all of the detail
matters incident to turning over the
office of sheriff to his successor, Mr..
j. G. Magruder has secured offices
in the Hill building on Front street
and will at once commence the prac.
tice OF law. Mr.. Magruder's accounts
as sheriff were checked up and found
correct and he has made his final

mentioned that the popular ex-sheriff
established a record as tax collector
for the month of December when he
collected $65,OOO in taxes, divided as
follows. $40 900 for the county and
$4,000 for the state. This figure for
any previous December has never
been equalled and attests the popu
larity of Mr.. Magruder and the many
warm friends he has among the larg.
est taxpayers of the county.
The high standing of Mr.. Magruder
in the community and section and the
splendid equipment with which he
goes into the practice of his chosen
profession is a guarantee that he will
meet with success. The News joins
with his many friends in wishing him
a successful career as a member of
the honorable profession.

KISSING BUG RUNNING WILD.

Atlanta. Jan. 13-The kissing bug
has got loose at the Atlanta police
station, and is driving the officers
wild. They can't handcuff it; they
can't lock it up; they can't club it into
submission. They can't do anything
but watch it, and shift from one foot
to the other nervously.
They have got two prisoners, t. L.
Waters and Mary Reeves, a pretty
seventeen-year-old girl who is in love
with him They are the most devoted
pair the police have ever seen. Its
really pity they can't get married" I"
says the matron. "They are crazy
about kissing each other. Every time
they get the slightest chance, they
are kissing. They kissed all the way
to Atlanta when they were brought
from cambridge by the detective.
They kissed in the waiting room at
the station house. They kissed
through the bars after Waters had
been locked up"
The matron doesn't want to lock the
girl up in a solitary cell, but says
she is going to have it to do If the
kissing can't be stopped any other
way. Waters is held for running
away with the girl when he had a
perfectly good wife at home.

flames were seen from the city and
the alarm turned in by someone up

When they finally arrived it was nee

the mill was doomed the f1remen
turned their attention to the lumber

was confined to the mill, but had gain

They cut some of the ramparts in two

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 1S.-There is
considerable talk going on in quiet
way around the state house relative
TO the general board of trustees of all
the educational institutions in the
state, and it will not be surprising if
bill is not introduced shortly abol
ishing the board absolutely and re-
turning to the system of board of
trustees for each institution.
Some of the talk is to the effect
that the present board is figuring on
trying to oust Chancellor Kincannon
Of the University and put President
]. C. Hardy of the A. & NJ. College in
his place. The present board is con-
sidered to be extremely friendly tow
ard President Hardy and only toler-
ant to Chascellor Kincannon.
But the most interesting point of
the gossip is that in the shuttle about,
Governor Noel is to be provided for
as the successor of President Hardy
as President of the A. G. NJ College
al Starkville.
The idea does not sit very well on
the stomachs of the Vardaman mem.
bers Of the legislature. They know
that the present board of trustees is
composed of ardent friends and ad
mirers of Gov. Noel, and are giving
the report considerable credence.
This is having the effect of causing
the general board of trustees to be re
garded in a hostile maner, and the
argument is being offered that the
board has too much power anyway.
