WANT CENTENNIAL FUNDS.

Natchez, Miss. Sept. 17.-The move
ment to celebrate the centennial of the
state of Mississippi and the two hun
dredth anniversary of the founding Of
Natchez has been formally launched
by the Natchez Chamber of Commerce
and when the legislature convenes in
January it will be asked to give an
appropriation to aid in the observance
of the state centennial Although the
celebration will not be held until the
fall OF 1916 or the early part of 1917,
interest and enthusiasm has been
greatly aroused. The date of the open
ing has not been definitely decided
upon for the reason that the one hun
|dredth anniversary of the founding of
the state falls in 1917 and it has been
decided to have joint observance.
The history Of Natchez from the
time of it's founding to the present
day is like romance. 1t was here
that Aaron Burr concealed himself
when sought by the United States
government. jefferson Davis, presi-
dent OF the Confederacy. was married
here. Near Natchez are the graves
of Sergeant s. Prentiss, Winthrop Sea-
grave and Governor Claiborne.
The first United States flag was
raised in NatcheZ. 1t has been shown
that Natchez is older than New Or
leans. It was here the Spanish Gov
ernor, Gayosa ruled his territory and
here, under the French regime, Bien-
vile and Iberville established them
selves.
Under the direction OF Chief Engi.
'neer L. F. Faulkner, the Mississippi
Central Railway has begun work on
the big fill that will replace the one
thousand-foot trestle that crosses
Union street within the city limits of
Natchez. The embankment and con-
crete work, it is estimated will cost
$4,000 and three months will be re.
uuired to complete IL.
