THCRSDAY, NOV. 19, 19u8..
The Hoskins theater at Lexington,
Holmes county, was formally opened
Monday night.
An exchange says that a colored
preacher down in Ellisville admon
ishes the members of his rac-o nor to
leave Mississippi. Poseibly'jie thinks
it is better to "bear those ills they
hare than fly fo others they know
not of.

The following is from the Vicks
burg Post, and will be nf interest tc
many: "Judge Downing, at New
Orleans, decides that a fire insurance
policy does not < over proporty insured
ns goods contained in adwedng house
burned while stored iu an outhouse
or shed an tliej snmo premises, and
thera can be no rccovory of insurance
for loss.''
The Natchez Bulletin says that
"one of the colored male members of
the "Black Patti' company wore ft
very conspicuous E'ks' badge when
tie company went to Yazoo City, and
when asked to remove it said be was
a regular member of the order, but
his assertion had no weight, and tte
badge was removed .
The Biloxi Herald says that the
Mississippi Historical Society has had
its nose so badly knocked out of joint
by the bureau of Archives and His
tory that its existence had been for
gotten until D. Fanklin L. Riley, it*
secretary, ca'lod the e'eveuth annual
meeting of the orgnaization to meet
some time next January nt Jackson.
The editer of the Hardeman Free
Press indulges iu a little fun now
and then: "The Mary and Ann puz
zle is easy as compared to another.
WheYi we was dow n to Memphis w<
attended the opery and a woman came
out on the platform and ast the con
gregation, pint blank like.: How

Tits Laurel Chronicle makes the
following reference'to the M. J. & K.
e. railroad: Vice-president Staiutou,
General Manager Dewey, Engineer
Hayden and several stockhSlders cf
the M. J. & K. C. roarl were iu the
city Wednesday afternoon. The gen
tlemen were on an inspecctiou tour
and while here they went o'er rhe
right, of way north of the city. The
officials stated that their visit had no
particn'ar significance and meant no
alteration of plans.
If there is a papir in the whole
state of Mississippi ether tJnn the
Natchez Democrat and the Hatties
burg Progress that thinks tho hack
tax busineess is overdone iu Missir
sirpi it is tho Nntchoz Bulletin.
Here is what Editor Diere, in his last
isisne,
sava; May he that new suit
that has been instituted by Revenue
Agent Adams against tho Illinois
Central railroiad for over f1,000,COO of
back taxes i« intended to give Major
Vardaminn a full frensnry when he is
inducted into office of governor next
January. Of coarse the agent doesu't
care a thing about a full pocket for
himself; he is not built* along those
•lines.
The Belzoni News says that "like
all other places on this mundane
.sphere, Belzoni has its wants and
^ desires. The most obvious of these
*.»t present is to have a now conuty
formed by taking part of Washington,
Holmes, Sunflower and Yazoo. Bel
zoni is situated adjacent to the above
named counties, which could spare
tlie territory without detriment to
themselTse. Gar town is oUterwise
most favorably located for the county
site, possessing railroad and river fa
cilities, the prospective extension of
the Itta Bena branch to this point,
and a bridge across the Yazoo River
here connecting us with Honey Is
! aud, will place Belzoni easy of ac
cess to all withip the county.

A state exchange makes this refer
ence to Hon. John Sharpe Williams:
Hon. John Sharpe Williams of Mis
sissippi, who, on the Oth received
.50 the unanimous vote of the Democratic
members for speaker of the house,
thereby became the floor leader of the
party for the forty-eighth congress.
That honor was never placed in bet
ter hands. This is already well
known -o the colleagues of Williams
and will be kno-.vu to the Democrat*

The Progress today gives in full
tie program arranged for the Busi
ness Men's League, a meeting cf
which, as will be seen, is to be held
at Jackaon November 24. Wo could
noc too strennonsly urge the itnpor
tuice of everyone who has tlie inter
est an I future welfare of Mississippi
at heart of attending this timely
meeting, as matters of great moment
will be brought up, all looking to a
betterment of our commercial and
industrial condition as a common
wealth, matters which, if accom
plished, mean more posperity, aud in
which every individual will share.
Rea l the program and airaugo to

The Vicksburg American of the
loth contained tho following men
tion: John VV. Gates, "the million
aire railroad man, arrived here yes
terday afternoon with a party from
Chicago on his palatial steam yacht
Roxana, built especially for river
and lake service. He'is eii route to
Beaumont and Port Arthur, Texas,
where he lias large interests, and is
making his way leisurely through in
land waters until the Gulf of Mexico
is readied, when the Roxana will
skirt the coast until hor destination
is reached. The party stopped here
several hours yesterdoy and supplies
of various kinds were purchased for
the yacht. Several ladios of tin party
lauded aud spent an hour or so look
ing around the city. Mr. Gates aud
other gentlemen of the party stayed
aboard the yacht while here, but took j
much interest iu their observations of
the canal and Vicksburg's river
front.

Natchez is putiug on all sorts of
airs of late. For the past two months
the Democrat there has been engaged
iu working up interest in a mardi
gras festivity, and ^having gotten it
up ro the success pitch it lias now
turned its bntteriea*upou the people
for a cigar factory, and already it
looks as though it is to he a go,
.judging from the last issue of that
paper which contained the following:
Wo have it upon reliable authority i
that a cigar factory will lie estab
lished in fliis city. Arrangements
for same^are now' under way, and a >
cording to the statement made by our
informant it will not bo many weeks
before the factory is in operation.
Six journeymen cigar makers will be
employded, as well ns a clerk, packers,
etc., making a very neat payroll to bo
met every week. This will increase
the circulation of coin iu this city.
It s but natural to suppose that the
product of the factory wll find a ready
srle on the market.''
The following is from the Plan
ters Journal of Memphis: In pur
chasing chickens it is much to buy in
the fall. This is especial y true in
regard to cockerels and pnllets.
Moreover, they may be bought cheap
er then than during the winter, be
cause at that time the demand is !
greater and th« seller will tack on
additional price to cover cost of keep.
The nftentiou and expense of caring
for a lot of birds in winter is greater
than many would suppose. Then
again, the fall is a better time for
shipping, as it somtimos happens that
a breeder will recive a peremtorv
order to ship at once. The weather
may be at zm> nt the time the order
is received ; but there is the instruc
tion; if he witholds shipment for
milder weather it may cause dissatis
faction if nothing more, and if he
complies he will expose the birds to
serious injury. In ordering either
stock or eggs in the wiDter it would
he well to allow the shipper seme
discretion as to weather conditions.

The above is no improvement over that of September
it time and again during the past three years af our uninterrupted operations,

Good as it G, how.
We Pick the Winners.
The system we employ to locate winners is identical with that used hv "Pittsburg Phil John \ Lai,
John Gates, W. Langdon, Joe Yeager, and other famous plungers who \vin hundred . u f' tj'ou^amU on'i'le
turf every year, and it proves jnst as successful.
We gather our information of prospective winners through a force of expert horsemen u ho h. id a u n, h
on the horses in their early morning trials, and in that wav leant when they are ready to win
The money that is played into the game by persistent losers, such n, the massed uuinf > im d t l iver- m
bound to be, goes into the pockets of the big operators, of which tlie Yaxim A- (,'av Co . rent es^ nt ii • ! t
clientele, stands at the head. The work of the Maxim & Gay Co. is to place the general nuid'ie m 'n a I, \ , l
with the winning plungers, and our success in this accomplishment has made us famous- ,n two t-,' t inert
We do business only on the great racetracks of the l . S. We number among our « Ii. nt- h me ,f tie
best knowui sportsmen, financiers mid merchants irt the conntrv. Investment on the turf j s „, nv ( i
legitimate as any other high-class form of speculation. The present high stendard to which rtcMnu l t- i
brought, and the absolutely good faith in which turf affair^ are conducted under the■ Mumm-e- ot t lie ' I, ' ■ v
Clnb in the East, and the Western Jockey Club in the West, has inspired n: illion ire e , t ii .-th-i - neiYu-e' '
men all over the conutry with as much confidence in racing as in the stock, grain and cotton n .i !
this is one reason why transactions in the betting rings now rivt 1 in magnitude those of the s t< cl, cn d
grain exchanges. .
Another reason for the rapid growth of turf speculation in popular favor, is the rapidity with which ii ;
transactions are wound up The speculator makes his investment at the racetrack in the afternoon time •
us and receives a notification by mail, iu a letter guaranteed to bear a postmak earlier than ti e iue j ,, ,
just what, horses are to be backed for his account. By the next mail he is informed of tin- n snlr of th, d
operations, and he learns quickly just where he stands. At the end of each week lie receive* •, comnh tT
statement of Iiis account with a money order for his profits, les* 25 per cent, w liich we deduct is our t, /
This gives a wholesome tone to legitimate turf speculation which lannotbe found in the' mor
involved transaction of the big exchanges, and this is why turfmen live more ccmfoitahiv ;, m i live b ,
than do men whose involved transactions are on their minds, clay and night, for week's and *
months at a stretch.

The answer is simple enough if one stops to consider the situation. Maxim &<iay, by din*: of .-tliiiif v
ergy, organization, capital and adveitising, have secured au enormous clientele, which 'means the commar. d
immense capital. If we can pick winners for this immense number of investors, our profits arc larger th n ii
