PROPOSES A REUNION OF
PEOPLE FROM ELMIRA, n. Y.
WINTER VISITOR FROM THAT
CITY PROUD OF ITS REPRES SEN
TATioN IN DAYToNA WOULD
HOLD CELEBRATION.

Morris j. Gladke, a real estate
man of Elmira, N Y. who with his
wife and three sons is located at the
Morgan hotel in this city for the sea-
son, is very enthusiastic over Day
'tona and this section of the country
in general. and is proud of the num-
Der of his townspeople who have
been discerning enough to appreciate
the beauty and advantages of Day
iona and vicinity.
Mr.. Gladke has been writing to
friends at Elmira and condoling with
them over the frightful weather they
have recently been experiencing and
advising them to join the contingent
at this place, where snow and zero
temperature are unknown and that
within less than two days travel of
their own doors,
There are sadi to be in the
neighborhood of fifty Elmira people
wintering in Daytona and vicinity this
season, and Mr.. Gladke thinks it is
probably the largest number here
from any one place the size of
Elmira, which has a population of
about 10000.
MIR. Gladke would like to see a re-
union of the Elmira people some time
during the season, if it is possible
to get them all together, and anyone
from that city whose name does not
appear in the appended list would do
well to forward 1T to Mr.. Gladke and
let him know his or her address.
Following is a partial list of the
Elmira folks sojourning ia this city
or on the peninsula, jotted down by
Mr.. Gladke as he recalled them at
the moment:

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
RECONVENE this MORNING

The Board of Supervisors having
failed to complete their work of equal
izing the county personal assessment
rolls last week, reconvened this morn
ing and will probably be in session
two or three days yet.
A committee from the Commercial
Club, having gone before the Board
Saturday, asking them to delay action
in reference to a road bond issue I'M
til their September meeting, failing to
get favorable action on their request,
again appeared before them this af-
ternoon, and they are now making
argument to show the desirability for
thirty day delay. The committee
favors a bond issue, but believe that
they have plans which the Board
should consider before final action.

HARDY Street
NEEDS ATTENTION
THoROUGHFARE is ALMOST I'M
PASSABLE NEAR THE STATE
NORMAL COLLEGE.

The condition of Hardy street is
such as to call for immediate atten-
ton of those charged with the duty of
keeping it in repair. Those using this
very important thoroughfare have for
some time been compelled to drive
around through the Normal College
grounds in order to avoid some of the
bad places, but this makeshift is now
bringing trouble, since the temporary
road thus laid out is getting in as bad
fix as the road itself.
Victor Seaman, whose direct route
from this city to his mill at Clyde
leads him over this roadway, has for
some time been making a detour of
seven miles or more, he says, to get
in over a route that would permit his
car to run.
Since the establishment of the Nor
NAL College, Hardy street has be
come a very much used thoroughfare
When it was in condition for travel
it made an attractive route for a con
siderable number of Lamar county peo
pie to come to Hattiesburg and dc
their trading here. If this city hopes
to hold that trade, both city and coun
ty officials must get busy on Hardy
street.
The Board of Supervisors of Lamar
county last week let the contract t.
put the road which joins this road, il
first class shape, from the county lin,
to Purvis.
1t will be easy to predict results /
the roads in an adjoining county ar,
put in good shape, while such thor
oughfares as Hardy street are left il
its present condition.

BARRIERS TO BE "eRooMERs."

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE national con-
vention of BARRIERS which convened
here today at the Sherman Hotel is
going to enact legislation which prom
ises to be epoch making in the history
of the trade. Several names more
dignified than the term barber" are
to be discussed during the meeting.
For instance, it has been pointed out
that "a parlor for external refresh
ments where massaging is practiced"
would be a more dignified way of re-
ferring to a barber shop than the
names now employees. "The uplift of
the barber shop and beauty parlor,"
says a member of the executive COM
mittee, will be our motto, and as
groomers of mankind-not BARRIERS
any more-we purpose placing our pro-
fession on a higher plane of intelli-
gence and service"
Much entertainment has been
planned for the delegates to the con-
vention, which will be in session until
next Friday.

The government, after approval, has
required a six-months' test, covering
both summer and winter service, and
the New Orleans & Northeastern R. r.
Company has been authorized to make
this service test.
The officials of that road being con-
fident of its merits, have had the de-
vice put up at all catcher stations, twen-
ty-seven in number, between Meridian
and New Orleans, besides having every
mail car on their line equipped for this
new service.
Besides the approval given by the
Post Office Department of the Gov

Postal Railway Mail Clerks, which met

simple turn of a disk wheel at the
