JOHN HARTLEY, Mgr. Tupleo, Miss
Town Creek.
Our famous old creek which has
been uoted since the days of De
Soto, has|outdone herself this year
and furnishes many evidences
that the.'alluvial soil that spreads
out for several miles in width is
capable of producing ns ranch to
the acre as the valley of the Nile
or the boasted Mississippi bottom.
Mr. R. M. Martin gathered 62£
bushels of corn to the acre. Allis
Reese planted about three acres
of cotton broadcast and never
plowed or hoed it, and will gather
nearly two bales from the crop.
On 53 acres planted in cotton, Mr.
Reese gathered 84 bales.

The last legislature which pro
vided a personal assesment this
year, took a very wise step, the
statement coming from the auditor
that an expense of $34,000 the
State has thus increased its reve
nue $138,000. Had personality
valnes been given in to the asses
sors at anything like their actual
values this sum would easily have
been doubled, and the total increase
for the year have been within a
few hundred dollars of twenty
million.—Meridian Evening Star.

Evidences have been discovered
in Pike County, this Sta te, which
prove that the mysteries of mason
ry were kuown and practiced by
the Indians in this country before
the white man came. A white
man of unquestionable veracity
is said to have plowed up from an
Indian mound a piece of stone
bearing Masonic emblems. This
piece of stone has been examined
by an eminent Mason and he pro-"
nounces the carving to have been
done by one versed in the teaching
of Masonry. Masonry is know,,
to have been practiced from time
immemorial, but this is the first
evidence of its having been in
practice among the Indians. It
will be of interest to the craft to
know that the American Indians
were brother Masous.—-Newton

oertain of the southern states to
fight Mr. Roosevelt and his boom
for the presidency by turning the
support of the Lily Whites to Mr.
Hanna.
The White Republ icans through
out the south are in earnest, it is
said' in their purpose to form a
white man’s party, with a view to
attracting persons who hitherto
have held aloof on account of the
negro question.
The attitude of Mr. Roosevelt,
Payne and Clarkson has severely
injured their movements, and de
prived them of federal patronage.
They intend to keep up the fight
regardless of this state of things,
and as they control the party
oaganization in their states they
cau afford to fight the administra
tion in any way they may happen
to see proper.
Longino's Heavy Load.
Kincanuon, Longy aud several
of their friends met at New
Orleans last Wednesday acci
dentally on purpose and had a
conference. Just what the nature
of that conference was has to be
guessed at in a measure, but guess
work is as good as any when it
hits right. Kincanuon is to be a
candidate for governor while the
present governor will stand for
United States senator. The New
Orleans papers got on to the
racket aud let the cat out of the
bag. If the people of this State
want Kincannou for Governor
they can elect him, and, our word
for it, he would make as good
governor as any we naye had since
the days of J. M. Stone. And
Longy would make a very accept
able senator, if he were able to
make the landing; but iu this
he will be very much handicapped.
He has too much of a load. In
fact, he is loaded to the guard
rails and he must unload or sink.
He has the Democratic party on
one shoulder . and a. part of the
Republican party on the other,
and the load is getting to be a
little too heavy for one man to
carry at the same time net as real
estate agentjfor corner lots. Still,
Longy would make as an accept
able senator as any of them and
would draw his pay with prompt
ness and dispatch.—Hattiesburc

H. T. Rogers.
The friends and relatives here were
greatly pained to receive the sad intelli
gence last Saturday morning of the
leath during the previous night of Mr.
11. T. Rogers at his home in Shannon.
3nly a few weeks since he was in Tupelo
md was enjoying at that time his ac
mstomed health and his early death
:ame as a sad blow. Mr. Rogers had
seen sick for two weeks but Lis eon
lition did not cause grave apprehension
from his physician and family, and the
sudden change for the worse found them
unprepared to meet the great sorrow
which his derth brought into the happy
home.
Henry T. Rogers was born in Harda
way, Ala. in 1851. With his parents he
moyed to Lee county while a small boy
and since tha* time has made his home
here, formerly at Verona, but ten years
Hgo be moved to Shannon, where he has
since resided. His school boy darn

meanor was such as to draw his fellow
schoolmates and teachers. Leaving
the academy lie entered Emory and
Henry College, Ya. while that famous
institution was under the presidency of
Dr. E. E Wiley. His record at college
was marked by the same conscientious
regard.. for bis obligations to lmuself,
his parents, teachers, and associates.
Alter leaving college lie was married
to Miss Eva Weir of Carrolton, Ala., a
lady of refinement and culture, the
union was blessed with several children
In his home life were displayed these
elements of character that make a mail
a true, devoted husband, an affection
ate. solicitous and considerate father;
he was as gentle in his manner as a
woman, but ready to meet any demand
for the protection and support of h s
loyed ones. As a citizen he measured
up to the full stamiard, assuming the
responsibility of citizenship in the full
sense of the term. He was patriotic,
liberal and public spirited- On every
public question there was never a doubt
as to where he stood; the side that
stood for morality.support of the lav e,
advancement of the public good, found
in him at all times a champion of th ir
cause. As a Christian be was devout
and lay at the feet of the Master he
trusted, a consecrated life. In his ob

ance of its ordinances and the prni •©
of the golden rule- He was a stew d
for many years and devoted his tone
and means to the support and advm e
ment of his church and the clnis-inn
religion. As a friend, he was loyal un
der all circumstances and no man ever
found in him any element but sincerety
and devotion to his friends.
The funeral services were conducted
Sunday morning from his late residence,
being conducted bv Rev. S. A. Brown,
his pastor, assisted by Rev. Leech of
Okolona. The pall bearers were niem

which order he was a member. The
many friends present attested *he
great popularity of deceased.
In the death of Air. Rogers, the com

of its best citizens; his church a com;©,
