Furnishing the Home

By usage August has become
the month for furniture buying
and home furnishing.
1t is customary at this season
for manufacturers and dealers to
encourage trade by favorable
prices.
Furniture is probably more
heavily advertised in August
than in any other month of the
year.
And this same advertising has
transformed a very dull month
to a very busy one.
If you are thinking of buying
goods for the home this is the
right season to consult the adj
vertising columns of The Star.

THE MESSAGE GOT THERE.
lFrom the Scottish American) j.

(From the Scottish American).
DIR. Norman Macleod, the famous
Scottish divine, before visiting India
called on an old Highland woman in
Glasgow. "When ye gang tae India"
she said, "ye'll be seem ma Donal'
that wen awe tae India ten years ago
an'never sent the scrap of pen tae
his mither SINCE"
"But, ate," said the doctor, india is
a very big place and how can / expect
to find him?"
20, but yell just be askin' for DON
al. What for no?'
So, to please the old woman, he
promised to ask for Donald, and he
conscientiously kept his word. At va
rious ports he made inquiry among
British ships, although it seemed very
much like looking for needle in a
bale of hay. But it is the unexpected
that happens. AS Dr. Macleod's S
steamer went up the Hoogly river an
outward-bound vesse. passed close by.
A sailor was leaning over her bull
warks, and moved by a sudden i'm
pulse the doctor shouted out:
: Are you Donald Mactavishw
To his intense surprise the man an
swered, yes"
DIR. Macleod had only time to shout:
you're to write to your mother!"l as
the vessels drew apart. The result
of this amazing meeting was that the
old lady received penitent letter
from her long neglectful son.

COTTON SEED ADVANCES.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 16. - Lively
scrapping among the cotton seed oil
mills for seed at this time is going on
in all parts of Mississippi, and as a
result of this activity, combined with
the known shortage of the crop, cotton
seed continues to advance.
In some sections cotton seed has
sold for as high as $35 a ton during
the past few days, and reports from a
number of places say that as much as
$3.50 a ton was paid in several in.

no FUNDS FOR U. S.
CIVIL WAR SLAVES
IMPRESSION THAT THERE is
sss,ooo,ooo AVAILABLE IS
ERRONEOUS.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 16. = The
Treasury Department today felt it nee
essary to issue statement to the eff.
feet that there is no fund of $6S,OOO,-
600 or any other sum in the treasury
Of the United States for ex-slaves or
their heirs or for any other persons
who worked in the cotton fields of the
South.r
The department has information
that certain parties are endeavoring
to collect money from persons who
labored as slaves in the cotton fields
during the years 1859 to 1868 or the
period 1862 to 1868, and from the
heirs of such persons for the purpose
OF prosecuting claims for $6S,OOO, 900
collected as an International revenue
tax on raw cotton.
Suit already has been brought in the
supreme court of the District of Co
lumbia in the names of the II. N.
Johnson, Louisiana; R. Bowers, Of
Texas; G. B. Williams, of Mississippi,
and Mamie Thompson, of Tennessee.
The treasury department declares
there is no legal or just basis for the
suit, and that it or any other suit
brought for the same purpose will
a
prove unfounded and fruitless.

NORMAL COLLEGE NOTES.


w. L. Carter, former student at the
Normal College, was removed from
South Mississippi Infirmary Wednes
day. Mr.. Carter has had an extended
illness.
Vice President T. p. Scott, has beer
on the sick list this week.
DIR. Jones carried her Diploma Hy

yesterday morning for the purpose OF
making physical examinations of the
pupils and looking after the sanitary
conditions in general.
Misses Lucille Hatten and Maude
Richardson are weekend visitors on
the campus. Both of these young
ladies were energetic students while
in school and we are sure that trey
will make successful teachers.
Pearson Powell, who is teaching at
Caesar, Miss, is a visitor at the Col
lege today. Mr.. Powell is principal of
the school at Caesar. and reports a
good attendance.
Mrs. w. l. Thames, of Forrest Coun-
ty Hall, entertained her Sunday
school class Friday afternoon. This
class is composed of about nine wide
awake girls. and the evening was
spent profitably discussing the class.
work for this session. After the bust.
ness was transacted the girls were
served refreshments, consisting OF
fruit salad, hot chocolate and cake.
Mrs. Thames is charming hostess,
and every one went away delighted
over the festivities of the evening.
The student body was entertained
for their first time with the newly in
stalled picture show last night On the
whole the pictures were very good,
however the manipulations are not
yet as good as we hope them to be.
In addition to the picture show Miss
Lucille Smith sang "Bobolink," which
was greatly enjoyed by the audience.
and Mr.. Randall created good deal
OF laughter with several selections Of
humorous dialect stories. This fea-
ture Of the Normal will serve as a di-
version for the students and will be
very valuable from an educational
standpoint, since the pictures are to
be mostly of that nature.
Mrs. J. w. McMillin is again on the
sick list.
The Short Story League, which met
in Mississippi Hall lobby last night
was quite a success. All of the stories
were interesting and the attendance

ASK CONGRESS FOR
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
vIcksBURe PREPARING TO CON
DUCT PEACE JUBILEE OR RE.
UNION IN 1917.

JdckSOn, MISS, Oct. lb.-EffOrtS TO
have the national congress and state
legislature make appropriations for a
proposed peace jubilee or reunion of
the blue and gray in Vicksburg in 1917
are to be made, according to a state
ment of Capt John A. Webb, adjutant
general of the Mississippi Confederate
veterans, who is just back from Chi
cago, where he had conference with
members of the executive committee
of the National Association of vicks-
burg Veterans.
"The meeting of the executive COM
mittee members was an enthusiastic
one." said Capt. Webb, "and we dis
cussed the advisability Of asking con-
gress for an appropriation to pay
large part of the expenses of re-
union of the northern and southern
veterans in Vicksburg in 1917, the
event to be similar to the one held
in Gettysburg, Pa, in 1918. We also
decided to ask the state legislatures
in states that will send veterans to the
reunion to make appropriations, and
We sincerely hope that we will be sue
'cessful, for 1917 probably will be our
last chance for big reunion, as the
ranks of the old soldiers who fought
on both sides in the civil war are fast
being depleted by DEATH"
Last year the Mississippi legislature
was asked to appropriate $4,000 toI
pay the transportation of Mississippi
veterans to and from Vicksburg,. but
the bill failed to pass the house by a
margin of only four votes. The vet
Grams say the measure failed because
of want of information and misappre-
hension on the part of some of the
members of the lower body.
When the national congress was
called upon for an appropriation it
declined to. grant it, and it is said
this was due largely to the fact that
Mississippi failed to pass the bill pro-
viding Cor small appropriation to
pay the expenses of her old veterans
from their homes to Vicksburg and re-
turn. |
"The whole proposed reunion and
peace jubiuee matter is now more
understood" said Capt.
Webb, "and we are encouraged to be-
lieve that neither the national con-
gress or the state legislatures will
say us nay when our appeal next
comes before them, especially in view
of the fact that the proposed reunion
was endorsed at the last annual meet
ing of the Mississippi division of vet
Grams and the Grand Army of the Re-
public when it was in session in Wash
ington. All camps in the state will be
asked to pass similar resolutions and
the members requested to ask their |
and senators to vote
for a bill making such appropriations
as outlined"
Capt. F. A. Reziene is president of
the National Association of Vicksburg
Veterans and Col. c. r. E. Koch is
chairman of the executive committee.
Both were at the Chicago conference.
Much will depend upon the action
of the Mississippi legislature in de.
termining the success or failure of this
to arrange "a big reunion
of wearers of the gray and blue who
fought in the battle and siege OF
vicksburg, so it behooves all of us to
do what we can to induce the legisla-
ture to make an appropriation when it
meets next year." said Capt. Webb.
