MISSISSIPPI AT
THE WORLD'S FAIR
commis

is doubtless doing his very best to
make Mississippi have a creditable
exhibit.
Commissioner R. H. Henry Ex

Get up a ocelli' able
Exhibit.
Col. R. H. Henry, State
llie principal things that,
we feel interested in are the two
state colleges for bovs and girls, the
first with its textile annex, and agri
cultural and mechanical instructions
prepares the boy, if there is anything
in him, for working his way honora
bly through the world. The gradu
ates of the second, or of the Indus
trial Institute and college, with its
high grade literary curriculum, and
teaching the girls needle work, and
the preparation of food, through
which persons will not take in their
peck of dirt in a month instead of a|
lifetime, will always be independent
of future contingencies, and in de-|
mand.
These foregoing State institutions
can not be too highly colored, or the:
luccess too inucli impressed on tin:
fostering care of our people and then
legislature.
The exhibit of our cotton, so far is
any good will he derived from it, will
not amount to the cost of freight to
get it there. It is the same with our
timber, there is no use in sending
samples of our timber, those who
need it know where it is and are com
ing after it. Indeed if the destruc
tion of our timber is kept up a few
years longer there will not be enough
left for our people, out of which to
build their negro cabins. Many places
,
have reached that point row. As

some facts in connection with one of
the largest mercantile establishments
in the United States, the National

sent free, and they will make any
garment which she may select, and
ship it express prepaid to any section
of this country. The mail of this
Company frequently runs as high as
five thousand letters in a single day.
In fact, so enormous has been the
growth of their ousiness that they
have recently had occasion to rent a
new building in addition to the large
quarters which they already occupy.
The company lias a capital stock of
one million dollars, and is one of the
most reliable and trustworthy con

Resolutions Adopted by the
United Confederate Vete
rans Favor a Confeder
ate Park.
The Yazoo Evening News contains
resolutions adopted by the Yazoo
Camp No. 176 U. C. V. which we here
reproduce. One similar to the last
one was adopted by the Holmes coun-'
ty camp, at its last meeting, and the
first doubtless will be at the next
meeting, on the first Monday in Jan.
"The Yazoo Camp No. 17^, United
Confederate Veterans, met at the
Court house on Wednesday last. In
conformity with the following reso
lution, a committee of five was ap
pointed to execute its provisions, the
members being Dr. R. E. Hale, Theo.
Schmitt, R. Bowman, F. R. Carloss,
C. J. DuBuisson. The resolution as
adopted is:
Resolved, that a committee of five
be appointed to present the memorial
of this camp to the next legislature
of the State for a liberal appropria
tion of money and means for the
equipment and maintenance of Beau
voir as a home for Confederate sold
iers, and that other camps of the
State be requested to appoint like
committees, and that a day be fixed
upon for their meeting during the
sitting of the.legislature- We earn
estly invite the co-operation of the
II. C. V. Camps, and th.: camps of
Sons of Veterans, and of the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy in the execu
tion and accomplishment of the pur
pose of this resolution." Concerning
the proposed removal of the Confed
erate monument at Jackson the fol
lowing was cat Hju,
Resolved, that we protest against
the removal of the Confederate mon- *
ument from the old to the new Cap
itol grounds of Mississippi. We think
the old grounds should be retained,
! improved and adorned as a Confeder
ate park.
The Camp requests that all cit'zens
i bring their influence to bear on the
Legislature to have legislation, such
: as is called for in the above resolu
tions, put into effect.

CONFESSION.
Unable to Determine Whether
In a contract He Is "Party
of the First Part, Second
part, or any part at all.
M
j
Mark Twain and Harper & Brothers
recently signed a contract whereby
the Harpers have acquired exclusive
rights of publication in all present
and future hooks of the great humo
rist, including his projected Authobi
ography. "After an experience ofj
thirty-seven years," said Mark Twain
in speaking of the new contract,
have come to the conclusion that the
only way an author can make money
is to keep all his books in one pub
lishing house." Americans generally
who have patriotic pride in Mark
Twain and the cheerful manner in
'I
which he has met many financial
changes, will be glad to hear him say
that the arrangement assures to him !
and his family a competency for life. I
In a farewell talk, prior to his de
parture for Italy, where he went for
the benefit of his wife's health,
Mark said apropos of this new arrange
ment:
"For three or four weeks, now I
have been borthering over this con
tract, full of strange things about
the party of the first part and the
party of the second part, and I have
never yet been able to make out whea
ther I was the party of the first part
the party of the second part,*or any
party at all. Through all these
four weeks work ray respect for the
Divine Creator has grown week by
week, because while it took us a
month to create a contract, he creat
ed the world in only six days.
I have found this dealing with, law
yers an expensive undertaking. It
has cost me four umbrellas already,
to say nothing of the onslaught upon
my morals. I have done nothing hut
buy umbrellas and leave them in my
lawyer's office. The other day I stop
ped at one of the umbrella counters
in a big downtown office building,
where there were three piles of
umbrellas. One pile was marked $1,
the second pile $2, and th? third pile
was marked $2. I did not look be
yond the third pile because this con
tract was not yet signed, and I was
not certain how much money I could
afford to spend. I said to the man
in charge of the umbrellas,'I am a
stranger from west of theilissiasippi,
all unused to the effete ways of the
East. I came from the wild and
hoping West, and I appeal to you as a
man to man, whether, in your judg
ment, you being an Eastern man, and
I a stranger on his first visit to your
great city, you would advise me to
buy this $1 umbrella for $1, the $2
umbrella for $2 or the $8 umbrella
for $3? I ask you this as a pilgrim
and a stranger.' And the man looking
me straight in the eye, said: 'As man
, ,. ,
to man ' and 9 P eakmg heart to heart
t0 you ' a 9tran « e ''' 1 woul J a,lvUd
you to buy the umbrella. —Mr.
Mark Twain.
"Which shows that a man with a
past can't get awav from it—even if
he has become honest enough to buy
his own umbrellas. That is the
trouble with me I can't fool anybody,
I am too pure, too innocent. Every
body takes advantage of my innocence.
It is a mighty good thing I was not
born a girl
"I am going aboard, and may never
see my fellow Americans again in this
life, and I hope, for their sake not
in the next!"
