new YEAR OVER
TEN DAYS WILL NOW ELAPSE
UNTIL YOM KIPPUR.

With the close of the Jewish New
Year yesterday, which was observed
with appropriate services at Temple
Israel. the ten days of preparation for
the Jewish Day of Atonement, known
to the Jews as the feast of Yom Kip
pur and to the Christian world at
large as the Passover began
This 10 a sacred fest, held annually
since the exodus of the children of Is
rael from the bondage Of Egypt. in
Of the miraculous pre-
servation Of the first born among them
from the plag ne Of death, which smote
not only the Egyptians, bot their
very cattle, upon the final refusal Of
Pharaoh to allow the Israelites to de-
part In peace to the land Of promise.
During these ten days OF prepara.
tiou there win be no merriment among
the Jews. Their houses will be silent
Of laughter ana void Of revslry. No
marriage will be celebrated. No feast
ing will be permit ed. The time will
be spent in solemn meditation and
preparatio for the sacred services OF
the Day Of Atonement, wherein, 40.
cording to Jewish belief. all Sins are
blotted out and the soul may start
upon . new year with record clean
OF all transgression.

MUST BIZ PRETTY BAD
When Ex-bandits Cant Stand
the Racket.
Frank James and Cole Younger Cut
Loose From the Wild West
Show.
COLE YOUNGER is ARRESTED

The James. Younger Wild west is
now in the midst Of more trouble, and
its star attractions, Frank James and I,
Cole Younger, the former bandits
have left the show and issued public
statement that they COULDN'T stand
the grafters.
The James. Younger aggregation is
of unusual interest in Paducah, be-
cause it was originally Paducah pro-
duct. 1t was started here four years
AGO by Messrs. sgd and Fletcher Ter
rell, and was then Known as Buokskin
Bill.
Last year it was bought by O'Brlen
and Allcott OF Chicago, and q wealthy
Chicago brewer, and they secured the
paroled robbers, James and Younger
as attractions. At Nevada. Mo-, day
before yesterday the crash came. A
dispatch says:
Nevada, Mo. Sept. 2l-The James
Younger Wild West show is apparent
ly upon the eve of dissolution. The
management has secured the arrest OF
Cole Younger, his nephew, II Y.
Hall, and +. G.. Lyndenfelder, charg-
ing them with the ENLIGHTENMENT of
$4,000. This action followed suits
fled against the show by Younger for
ea5, 900 and James for $4,000. The
plaintiffs say they were damaged In
these sums by the failure Of the real
owners to equip the show according to
tracts by the refusal to drive away
the grafters. Both James and Youn-
ger say there is absolutely nothing in
the embeszlement charge and speak OF
il as . purely retaliatory policy. They
have given out the following state.
ment for publication:
1--WE have severed ell connection
with the James Younger Wild West
show. The management Was duly no
titled to choose between srafters and

grafters: hence We refuse to allow oul

of those hateful towns in the south.

all the other negroes out of town, af-
forwards burning their houses. Had
this happened in Mississippi instead
of Missouri a great wall would have

1t occurs to us that it would be a
fine idea for the Gulf and Ship Island
to give an exucrsion to be run even as
far as st. Louis to Gulfort on the oc-
casion of the completion of the deep
water harbor at Gulfport. 1t is stated
that the work will be completed about
the first of June and this would be a
good season of the year to have the
excursion. Hundreds of people who
never saw the gulf or deep water har-
Dor or even a ship would go on an ex-
cursion. Hundreds living in this state
would go if they were assured that a
big ship lying at the wharfs and to
see the harbor, which some of them
imagine is big hole in the ground
and filled with water like mill pond.
And such an opening of the harbor"

Major James K. Vardaman will
speak at the court house next Monday
at II 80 and doubtless it will be the
finest speech ever listened to by the
people of Hattiesburg and this section
for many days. There are great
many Vardaman men in this city, some
of whom have been down on Leaf this
week practicing on applause, and
they propose to make the old court
house shake to it's foundation next
Monday. 1t is reported that Governor
Longino will also be here on the
same day and will speak, but no au-
thentic announcement to that effect
has been made and the Progress cannot
state whether or not the report is true.
The statement came through the
Times Democrat, sent from jackson

Who love their dollies and like their
toys,
And talk of something besides the
boys?
Little old women in plenty find,
Mature in manners and old of mind;
Little old fiirts who talk of their
"beaux,"
And vie with each other in stylish
clothes.
Little old bellies, who, at nine and
ten,
Are sick of pleasure and tired of men :;
Weary of travel, of balls, of fun,
And find no new thing under tie sun.
Once, in the beautiful long ago.
Some dear children l used TO know !;
Girls who were merry as lambs at
play,
And laughed and rolllcked the live
long day.
They thought not at all of the style
of their clothes,
They never imagined that boys were
"beaux,"
'Other girls brothers" and mates
were they,
Splendid fellows to help them play.
Where have they gone to? If you see
One of them anywhere, send her to
me;
[ would give a medal of purest gold
70 one of these dear little girls of old
With an innocent heart and an open
smile
Who knows not the meaning OF
''flirt or style"
