the RIGHT WAY
TO GET SUMBURNED

This is about the time of the year
when legs and arms are sunburned,
due to the carelessness of the boys and
girls who fail to take precautions so
necessary to avoid the painful expert
ence.
A simple way to avoid sunburn is to
expose your arms and legs gradually
The first day that You go without
stockings or with short sleeves in the
sun, do not run about more than an
hour or so before again donning stock
ings and covering your arms.
Instead of being blistered as the re-
suit of the exposure. you will find your
skin has turned pink and later ma
hogauy color. Repeat the performance
after a couple of days and you will be
surprised to see the skin assume that
rich color noted among sailors ana
men who live out of doors great deal
without having to undergo the fortunes
of sunburn.

Perhaps the funniest of all the story
book boys mistakes happened the
time he went to st. Louis to visit his
grandmother, or, rather, the time he
came back from st. Louis. Of course
he had to 60 on the railroad cars, and
when his grandmother took him down
to the big station the story book boy
insisted that it was the Castle of the
Sleeping Beauty.
He pretended to be very much sur

was quite triumphant again when hc

The Prudentlal's Big 3 uslness.

The Prudential Insuranc Company Of
America has again beaten its record "a
kind Of habit it has acquired having In
1908 written no less sum than $685.
100000 OF paid for life insurance, which
is greater sum than has ever been
written in one year by any other CON-
pany OF the same age as the Prudential.
This record is truly astonishing, and
there can be no better evidence Of the
vast and growing popularity Of the Pru-
Dental among the thrifty classes. While
most Of its business is done among the
industrial population, 1t has also large
ordinary business in policies amounting
from 81 900 up to 100000.
1t would be difficult to suggest any
Improvement in the way that the Pru-
DENTAL has met the necessities Of the
public In the matter OF life insurance.
The company has always been In the
habit Of settling it's claims In the most
satisfactory and prompt manner. Its
policies arc very liberal In their terms
and convey many substantial benefits,
which. II Is quite evident, are warmly
appreciated BY the insaring public.

A SUCCESSFUL PLANTER.
R. 6. Townes. Of Philip. Is a Good
Example.

Mr.. II. G. Townes, a prosperous mer-
chant and planter of the Philip vicin-
ity, was caller at this office Tuesday
of this week. Mr.. Townes says that
last year he did a mercantile business
aggregating 10000 and he believes that
this year is going to be the best season
in the history Of the Delta. He owns n
plantation consisting of 200 acres
l,500 OF which is now in cultivation
Last year he gathered 4S3 bales Of cot
ton and his corn crop was the largest he
ever made. AT one time he expected
that his cotton crop would be much
larger, but unfavorable weather toward
the latter part OF the summer cut the
crop considerably short Of an average
yield.
Mr.. Townes said that one mule last
year made 800 bushels OF corn and thir-
teen bales of cotton. We doubt II this
record can be beaten in the State.

GRfENMO0D'S PART
IN VARDAMAN'S COUP
Local Military Responded Promptly
TO His Summons.

Greenwood feels proud OF the part
which the local military company to0h
in the Governors bold dash across the
State to prevent repetition Of the hor'
rible tragedy which was enacted few
weeks ago.
Governor Vardaman called up Major
General Keesler about 7 o'clock last
Saturday evening and asked him to get
the Ben Humphreys Rifles and the CON-
pany from Itta Bena in readiness for "
special train. Several of the officers Of
the local company were out of the city,
but there was ready response TO tho
call and sixty mon were soon uniformed
and armed for the trip to Datesvillc.
Tho trip was not without accident
The Governor and the Adiutant General
left jackson at 10 o'clock. They arrived
at Greenwood about 2 o'clock, where
they were met by Captain Keesler with
forty-ilve men OF the Greenwood com
pany and fifteen men from tho ltta Bena
company, under lieutenant Rich, No
timo was lost at Greenwood and the spc-
cial pulled straight out over the branch
for Grenada. At Grenada thore came
very near being a serious accident.
There was collision between one of the
freights in the Grenada yards and tho
special, and the Governor and the sol
dicrs were greatly shaken up. 1t was
known that the engineer was IN sym
pathy with the burning Of the negro, and
it was thought at one time the accident
wos premeditated, but an investigation
proved this to be incorrect.
The forty-ave miles between Grenada
and Batesville was made in ffty min
utes. 1t was race for life, for it was
known when daylight came the Tutwiler
mob would be after the negro. Bates
vile was reached about daybreak. Sher-
in Johnston had picked posse of fifteen
men protecting the negro, and immedi-
ately upon the arrival OF the Governor
and the militia company the negro was
brought to the depot and turned over TO
the chief executive and tho soldiers.
There was little excitement at Bates
vile, but the excitement would have
begun as soon as the Tutwiler posse
could have arrived at that place.
Governor Vardaman made the company
Of about 100 people that had gathered at
the depot very opportune and appro-
pirate speech. He thanked them for as
sisting in upholding the law. Sheriff
Johnston made short reply to the Gov
ernor's speech. In less than fifty min
utes the special was turned around and
pulled out Of Batesville with the negro
prisoner. The trip to jackson was with
out incident until the special was few
miles south of Canton, when one OF the
cogs in the engine broke, and the COM
pany OF soldiers waited two hours for
the regular southbound to pick them up,
arriving at Jackson at $3.50.
The soldiers returned to Greenwood
on the regular train Sunday night, fully
satisfied with the success of the trip.
