Mr. Scott will put 1,000 acres in rice next season and a number of other planters, in the Rosedale section will do likewise. Rice grown In the delta will produce a yield from fifteen to twenty sacks to the acre.

Mayor Hayes and Captain W.

T. Rigby. members of the Vacksburg committee that returned from St Louis yesterday at noon, feel satisfied that the change in hours will be made. Mayor Hayes said that with the absolute indorsement of all the St Louis committees, he sees no reason why the change will not be made. In explaining to the St Louis committee how the proposed change in hours could be made, the committee outlined a program, calling for arrival at Greenville on the morning of October 28, at 8 o'clock, a speech, and departure from Greenville at 9 o'clock, and to reach Vlcksburg at noon by special train, and then take the boat at night after the day, program is concluded.

This change would gtv. the party the chance to see the canal.
