HiIl.Percy.

Miss Elizabeth A. Percy was
married at eight O'Clock yesterday
evening at Anchuca, the family
home for three generations, to Mr..
Daniel H. Hill, a business man of
the delta. Rev. w. F. Creson
performed the ceremony.
Only two or three intimate
friends were present. and immedi-
atelY after the marriage Mr.. and
Mrs. Hill came to Port Gibson and
took the train for Waukesha, Wis.,.
for a short bridal trip. After an
absence of a short time they will
probably return to Port Gibson
until Mr.. Hill purchases farm.
The marriage Is the elimination
of a romance which had Its begin
ming In the Mississippi delta before
the death of the brides mother
many years ago. The Ill health of
Mrs. Percy and the decision of her
daughter not to leave her, caused
the young people to drift apart:
but about two years ago they again
met and the love Of years before
was renewed, and the marriage
yesterday evening was the culmi-
nation.

FELL FROM
HIGH BRIDGE.
White Man and Two Negroes
Had Narrow Escape From
Death Friday.

Last Friday while F. r. Saw
yer, white, and Henry Pearson and
Billy Benjamin, colored, were
driving across the Bayou Pierre
bridge at Carlisle, one of the mules
broke through the flooring. This
frightened the team aud it backed
the wagon against the guard rail
which gave way. The back wheels
of the wagon went over the side of
the bridge and the coupling pole
hroke, precipilating the body of
the wagon with the three men to
a pile of rocks near the base OF
the south piers of the bridge, a
distance of thirty feet. The break
ing of the coupling prevented the
mules from being drawn down on
top OF The unfortunate men.
Benjamin suffered fractured
arm, while the other occupants of
the wagon escaped with only se-
we're bruises. 1t is almost miracu.
lous that all were not killed.
The flooring Of the bridge has
been in bad condition for the past
year or more. It is the
longest bridge in the county and
is fully fifty feet above the bed of
the bayou. A great deal of traffic
passes over it, as Carlisle has long
been the shipping point tor the
lumbermen operating in the third
district.

Sergeant Van Here.

Sergeant Jeff Van of the U. S.
army arrived here yesterday for a
weeks recruiting. He has been
stationed at Vlcksburg for some
time In this capacity, and was
highly pleased when ordered to
his home county for week.
Sergeant Van was from near
Tillman and is the son of Mr.. F.
C. Van of that place. Thirteen
years ago be left the county, and
three years later enlisted In the
army. This Is his first visit home,
and he Is enjoying 1t immensely.
He Is anxious to get out to bis old
home to see his family and the
scenes of his childhood; and just
from a word or two that he let
drop, the Reveille Is inclined to
think there may be even some
greater attraction.
Sergeant Van Is every inch
soldier, In size, bearing and devo.
tion to duty. He is nearly seven
feet in height. and Is broad and
erect. He Is thoroughly In love
with his job, and recently enlisted
for an additional twenty years.

ORIGIN OF THE
Idea Conceived and Bill Written
in Claiborne County.

Mrs. A. G. Peyton of Copiah
county advocated the establish
ment of university for women,
similar to the University of Mis-
sissIppi for men. In a series of ar
ticIes for the Jackson Clarion. over
the name Mississippi Woman"
Finally Senator Reuben o. Reyn-
olds introduced bill Incorporating
her views. This bill was defeated.
Then she sought to have co.edu-
cation made effective at the Uni
versity, and Senator Reynolds was
doing what he could to secure
such measure through legisla-
tion.
Meanwhile Mrs. Olivia Hastings
of Claiborne county had been
writing articles to the Clarion In
which she advocated industrial
training for the women of MissIs-
sippi. She wrote over the name
"OlIve."
Both writer's attracted the atteD.
ton of Mr.. ]. McC. Martin, then
senator from Claiborne county.
About the same time he came into
possession of a copy of Harper's
Magazine which gave a full and
glowing account of Cooper's Union
located In New York. This insti-
tuition conducted a system of
industrial education. In
spIred by this article, Mr.. Martin
secured from the government all
information obtainable, both In
! this country and In Europe.
In conversation with Mr.. Hast
ings on one occasion. Mr.. Martin
was invited to spend the day at the
formers home near Hermanville
and discuss the question. This he
did, and during the visit made the
FIRST draft of the bill which finally
created the Industrial Institute and
College. After the bill was written
Mrs. Hastings said: 1T Is far
more comprehensive and COM
plete than anything have ever
thought upon; 1t not only fully
meets what 1 have In mind but I
believe 1t will prove of incalculable
value to the Young women of Mis-
sIssippi and likely to become a
model for similar institutions In
other states"
By request the bill was intro
duced by Senator Whitney of JEFF
ferson county, Mr.. Martin asking
him to have It referred to the COM
mittee of which Mr.. Martin was
chairman. This was done. and the
bill was reported favorably. After
protracted debate, Senator Rey-
nolds opposing It, the bill finally
passed the Senate by a majority OF
two votes.
In the House of Representatives
the bill was opposed chiefly by
Representative Orr of chickasaw
