FORMER COLUMBIAN DIES
At THE A. & N. COLLEGE
Professor II. p. Hughes Passed
Away Yesterday Morning
Was Well Known.

The sad intelligence of the
death of Prof. H. p. Hughes.
which occurred at the A. and NJ.
College yesterday morning, came
as a great surprise to his many
friends here.
For several years Professor
Hughes health has been failing,
but his friends here had:no idea
that his condition was serious.
Prof. Hughes taught at the
Industrial Institute and College
for three years, and resigned to
take charge of the public schools
at McComb City. Last Spring
he was elected dean Of rraacory
of the A. and M. College, and
had moved there to assume his
new duties, when his earthly
career was cut off.
He was a true Christian, and
his life was a noble example.

Inquiries Are I'cing Made
Through the Local Cham.
lcf Of Commerce.
WILL MEAN MUCH TO CITY


Inquiries have been made Of
the Chamber Of Commerce as 10
locations for three factories. an.
ticipaiing removals or exten.
tons from northern headquar.
ters. The prospective industries
seek locations having both rail
and water facilities and support
ed by gum and hardwood re-
serves.
AS Columbus has ample rail
and Iwater connections and has
a beautiful supply of gum and
hardwood to draw from. it IL
probable that the industries may
be attracted to Columbus. The
advantages of locating here are
being urged and. if the efforts
being made are successful, en-
ployment will thereby be afford
ed three or four hundred per-
sons. which will make an ap-
preciable addition to local pay
rolls.
