Judge Gary said in part
The ordinary reader Of the daily

there is class Of men who, for sell

OWNED HUNTING CATS.

Starkville, Miss, March 19. - The
death of Captain T. s. Nimmo, which
occurred Tuesday near Sturges, in this
county, recalls to mind the story of
two remarkable cats which he owned.
They we're noted for their keen hunt
ing instincts and wonderful sagacity.
It is very doubtful whether there can
be found in any other portion of the
United States cats that could duplicate
their hunting proclivities.
Three years ago the idea struck
him that he could put the cats to some
benefit. At first the task of training
them to hunt seemed ardous, but per
sistent efforts on his part rewarded
him to such an extent that in a short
time they were lovers of the sport, and
hunted better than the average dog.
They trailed rabbits, coons, opos-
sums, treed squirrels and set birds
When he took his trusty old war mus
tors and the case tried behind closed
jump on him, displaying their Joy in
various ways at times, preceding him
to the woods. Captain Nimmo was an
old Confederate veteran of rs, and is
survived by two daughters.

SHRIMP CATCHES GOOD.

Biloxi, Miss, March 19-Several good
catches of shrimp during the last few
days have been made and fishermen
are hopeful Of good spring season,
although it has begun late and is be-
ing retarded by the continuance Of the
cold weather. The stock brought into
Biloxi factories is for the most part
of good size and fine quality, this be.
ing the result Of the lateness of the
season, as the shrimp have been given
an opportunity to develop. One fac.
tory reports having cared for 125 bar.
rels of shrimp yesterday and several
others secured fair supply. AS a
result of the opening of the season the
early morning whistles are much in
evidence and the shrimp nickel is be-
ing circulated freely among business
men.

FOR PEACH CULTURE.

Gulfport, Miss, March 19.-J. L.
Porter, who has gained wide knowl
edge of fruit trees through fifteen
years experience in the nursery bust
ness, stated yesterday that the peach
tree will do as we'll along the coast
as anywhere else in the country. In
fact he is of the opinion that this sec
tion of the country is the natural habi-
tate of that luscious fruit.
In proof whereof, he states that a
year ago he set out on his place at
Long Beach, six peach trees, about Is
inches high, which he received througl,
the mail, and today those same trees
range from four to eight feet, and
four Of them are ladened with blooms
being the second instance, Mr.. Porter
states, where he has observed peach
trees giving bloom in their second
year.
The tree he planted included two
Elbertas, two Chinese cling stones ant
two Alexanders. The Chinese cling'
have thus far attained the larges
growth, and have developed the mos
blooms.
