coal which gradually is being depleted,
the Hattiesburg Traction Company is
using shavings from the big lumber
manufacturing plants Of the city in

pertinent prove a success, it is more
than probablai that this kind Of fuel
will continue TO be used until the coal
situation is relieved
Four car loads OF shayings are used
daily in the power Elant of the com
pany These cars are switched from
the mills Of the Newman Lumber Com
pany by the Northeastern, and carried
directly to the traction station, where
they are unloaded
There is enough coal on hand at
this time, General Manager Wheeler

their utmost to fill all contracts.
Take MO Chances.
Not desiring to take any chances,
however, contract was made with the
Newman company for shavings, and
these will be used until the, situation

With the exception of here and
there between Hattiesburg and Beau
mont on the New Orleans, Mobile q
Chicago, where smouldering stumps
and fences may be seen, the fires
were practically put out by the recent
rain, and no further damage from their
spreading is looked for.
An inventory Of the losses in Mis-
sissippi from the field fires is being
made today. It probably will be weeks
before the full damage will be known.
In some sections houses of various
kinds were destroyed, and for a time
the turpentine plants south Of Forrest
county were threatened
\ When the Board of Supervisors
meets in December, one of the first
things to be taken up will be the aues
tion Of asking cooperation Of the other
boards Of south Mississippi toward
formulating scheme which Yoult

Advice.


 Advice Is a yelled but egotistical at tempt Co show your neighbor how you surpass him intellectually It is a maguifyne glass which you hand to him. after uhi you make certain that you are standing at the proper focal distance
 Advife is also used as I sugar coat. ing for criticism gs diplomatic meth ed of checking offensive conduct and IS ra~ume
 There are two classes of people ebuls lteut with desire tu give advice those who nave had experience and those who have pot
 4 request for advice is usually q subtle form of hattery or else meth od of lodging responsibility
 The person who is wise enough to take good advice and the one who is too wise to give it generally tie the knot of perfect friendship.
 Advice is drug on the market. The principal reason why the supply ex- ceeds the demand is because those who need the most take the least.
 Advice should never be followed. If 1t is good advice 1t cannot be followed. The only advice which is good is that which drives you.-Judge.

Every One Was Satisfied.

A very angry client entered New York lawyers office He had called upon a debtor and asked him politely to pay a bill of $2.50 and had been abused for his pains Now he wanted the lawyer to collect it.
 The lawyer demurred. The bill was so small that it would cost the whole amount to collect it.
 No matter said the angry one T don't care if I don't get a cent as long as that fellow has to pay itr'
 So the lawyer wrote the debtor a letter. and in day or two the latter appeared in high dudgeon- He did not owe any S2J0, and he would not pay.
 "Yery we'll said the lawyer; then my instructions are to sue. But l should hardly think it would pay you to stand a suit for so small a sum"
 "Who will get the money if l pay itf' asked the man.
 The lawyer was obliged to confess that he should.
 "yery well said the debtor; that's another matter If Smith isn't going to get it I am perfectly willing to pay itn-Yonth's Companion
