There is still a chance for Hattiesburg to get In the league and it ought to be done, but there seems to be very little interest manifested in the matter. If, how ever, the fans of Hattiesburg want to get in the game, some steps to that effect should be taken at once. Speaking of the prospects of the Cot ton States League, the Jackson News says: The first best bet is that when the board of directors of (he Cotton States League meets here next Thursday it will be decided by an unanimous vote to preserve the organization. This prediction is made despite ru mors generally current to the effect that the league is about to disband. There is no likelihood whatever that the organization will go out of exist ence, but there Is a very large likeli hood that It will be enlarged to eight-team circuit.

TO INSTALL NEW BISHOP Rockford, 111., December 15.—Bishop Muldoon was formerly enthroned as head of the Rockford diocese today, scores of distinguished Catholic cler gymen from all over the middle West coming here for the ceremony. Archbishop Quigley, of Chicago, form ally transferred the episcopate. In view of the fact that the bishop is beginning work in a diocese where many works of charity are necessary and the clergy presented him with a purse for this purpose and to express the love and esteem. which they en tertain for the new prelate. A public demonstration of greeting in which both Protestant and Catholic citizens of Rockford participated, marked the installation of Bishop Muldoon. Good Cough Medicine for Children. The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can not be used to protect the children. A child Is much more likely to con tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold.
