Modest Claims Often Carry the Host Con-

viction. When Maxim, the famous gun invet-

or, placed his gan before a committee of judges, he stated its carrying power to be much below what he felt sure the gan would accomplish. The result of the trial was therefore a great surprise, instead of disappointment. It is the same with the manufacturers of Chamberlaiu’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. They do not pub- licly boast of all this remedy will ac-

complish, bat prefer to let the usfers make the statements. What they do claim, is that it will positively cure diarrhoea, dysentery, Spains in the stomach and bowels and has never been "known to fail. .For sale by C. E. Grafton.

Mr. Bamberge said the bug is known as tbe striped beetle. It feeds upon the leaves of beans, young cabbage plants and cotton but can be easily driven off by sprinkling the plants with snuff. The beetle seems to have ceased operations in Mr. Simmons’ field and no further damage is appre- hended.—Magnolia Gazette.

CAPTAIN APPLEWHITE NAMED

As Instructor to Mississippi National Guard Camp.

He is a graduate of West Point, and has a creditable military record. His assignment to this speciall duty is particularly com-

Capt. Applewhite is the somin-law of Colonel Powell, in charge of the Louisiana National Guard, and is the descendant of a

prominent Mississippi family. He has aJiost of friends at Brook haven and other sections of the neighboring State who will be pleased to learn of his selection as

instructor at the coming, encampment of the troops at Gulfport.

The order announcing Captain Applewkite?s detail at thfi Missis- sippi encampment was received yesterday at Jackson Barracks. It was issued by the War Depart- ment and directed that he report to Governor Vardaman in person for conference as to instruction it is desired shall be given to the State troops. Captain Apple- white will act in the capacity of an adviser at the encampment and will report to the War Depart- ment on the strength, general showing and efficiency of the troops. Having a soft spot in his heart for Mississippi, Captain Applewhite is naturally pleased with his assignment as instructor at the encampment.—Sunday N. O. Picayune.

The Leader takes the above with pride and pleasure from the Picayune. Capt. Applewhite is a

son of Dr. R. R. AppewbiCe of this city aDd many are the friends and relatives who will read of bis new and worthy honors with interest.
