It seems that it costs more

works than it does to maintain a
a yacht.
The man who originated the
phrase declaring that soap and
water are cheap, had evidently
had no experience in operating a
water plant.
Weather like this attorns a
splendid opportunity for wicked
people to shuffle off this mortal
coil. The change of temperature
would, just now, hardly be no
ticeable.
The mandamus proceedings
brought bv the trustees of the
Industrial Institute and College
to compel auditor Cole to pay the
interest claimed to be due on the
college land grant were before
Judge Powell at Jackson Mon
day and Tuesday. A decision in
the matter was expected yesterday.
The Demecratic Executive
Committee of the First Congress
ional district met at Tupelo last
Saturday and fixed upon Thurs
day, August 21st as the date on
which to hold a primaroy to
nominate a candidate for the fifty
eighth congress, andupon Thurs
day, September 11th as the date
of the holding of the second pri
mary, should one be necessary.
It is hardly likely, however,
that a second primary will be
held, as Hon. E. S. Candler is
the only candidate in the field.
The people of Aberdeen seem
to have connected with a stum
bling block in the launching of
their scheme to build a cotton
mill. It seems that Mr. Stokes,
the secretary of the company,
who, by the way, is not an Aber
deen man, wanted the full power
to select the site for the mill and
purchase all machinery for the
same delegated to him. The oth
er stockholders couldn't see it
that way, and Mr. Stokes, who
had agreed to put eighty-five
thousand dollars into the enter
prise, proceeded to withdraw his
subscription. The Aberdeen peo
ple say, however, that the mill
will be built, even though it be
comes necessary to borrow
money by giving a mortgage on
the plant.

NEGRO TRUSTY
BETRAYS TRUST.
Abe Edwards, one of the prision
er at the county farm who for
some time has been known as
"trusty and who has enjoyed
all the liberties and privileges
unusually accorded this class o:
prisoners, has proven faithless to
the "trust" which was imposed in
him and Manager Salter is now
"trusting" to lnck and inciden
tally to the sagacity of a pair of
ferocious blook hounds, to capt
ure the fleeing "trusty."
Edwards was sent to the city
last Monday with the farm wa
gon for a load of supplies, which
he purchased all right and start
ed on his return trip to the farm,
but he never reached there. When
he had proceeded as far as White
Slough he skipped out, leaving
the wagon and team standing in
the road. Manager Salter
who was in the city Monday,
came along a little later and
found the team standing where
the negro had left. He proceed
ed to the county farm and im
mediately put the blood hounds
on the tract of the fugitive, but
up to last night he had not been
captured.
WILL ATTEND
THE ENCAMPMEMT.
The Columbus Riflemen have
definitely decided to Jattend the
state encampment, which is to be
held at Biloxi August 18th to 28-
h. The company will leave
here at four o'clock on the morn
ing of the 18th, going from Col-
lumbus to West Point over the
Southern, from West Point to
Jackson over the Illinuis Central,
and thence to Gulfport over the
Gulf and Ship Island. There
has been some trouble in the effort
which was made to obtain low
rates of transportation' over the
Louisville and Nashville railroad
from Gulfport to Biloxi, and ac
cording to the efficial orders is
sued from the office of the adju
ntat general, the men are to walk
this distance, which is something
like ten miles. The members of
the National Guards are, how
ever, much averse to making
this long march, during the
warm weather, and it is to
be hoped that satisfactory ar
rangements for their transporta
tion may yet be made.
75,000 ACRES PRAIRIE
LAND WANTED.
The editor of The Commercial
has received a letter from a
prominent railroad official who
states that he has bean in cor
respondence with some reliable
parties in the north who want to
buy a tract of about 75,000 acres
of prairie land in East Mississippi
for the purpose of locating a
largecolony who desire to engage
in diversified farming.
Of cours it would not be poss
ible to find this much land for
sale in a body, but it can doubt
less be found in tracts adjacent,
and The Cowmercial asks every
one who has prairie land for
sale to write a description of
same, giving location, improve
ments, price etc and send to J. T.
Senter, Columbus, Miss.
