:6f the MS36stic Range. Mr.. Bailey did
not elope with the idea, but put it into
;practice. The free lunci of coffee and
biscuit drew the crowd, that WAS the
idea. The participants gtatifei thsir
appetite and curiosity, whether they pur-
chased any thing or not. This, together
with the guessing contest was catchy.
To guess the number of biscuit served
during the free lunch period was also
most attractive feature, rs the reward TO
the one guessing closest to the number
of biscuits eaten, being beautiful an
tique tea table. The contest was lively
there being 1872 who guessed, and tn,
guesses ranged all the way from 800 10
10000. The exact number, 765 Was
guessed by Miss Myra Young. This
would not likely happen again in a life
time. We never knew it to happen be-
fore that the exact number was guessed.
All previous guessing contests have been
only approximately close to the real
number. We congratulate Miss Myri
upon her lucky guess. This we hope is
the omen of her future luck in life.

,ETTA JANE ETCHINGS.
New Fence for Graveyard at
Standardization Services at
Salem-Pocket Book Found.

eta JANE, April 19.-We are
having light showers Of rain but not
enough to wet the ground or bring cotton
up. Several people are planting cotton
and a good deal of corn has been planted
too.
The weather is rather cool for the
time of year, and fruit has been injured
to some extent.
Several citizens interested in the grave
yard at Salem met there last Saturday
evening and took steps to have the
grounds enclosed with AN iron fence.
A good amount was readily subscribed
and canvass will be made to raise the
balance. The fence will be &C robs long.
The kind of fence has not yet been de-
cided upor but it will be as soon as the
money is raised.
Miss Amanda Bratton, an elderly
maiden lady, has been confined to her
bed for some time with something like
la grippe. She doesn't seem to improve
much. DIR. Leech, of Hickory Grove,
is her physician.
Miss Ethel Strain was sick last week
DR.. l.. r. Black was called to see her
and she is now much better and able to
be up.

communion service at Salem on Satur-
day, April 30, at 3 O'Clock p. m. The

Notwithstanding the cool weather the
leaves on the trees are growing right
fast.
L learn that some Of Mr.. w. r.
Walkers fine cattle died on his farm
few days ago. This regret very much
for he has expended considerable money
to start first class stock farm, which i
can see no reason why it should not sue

We have had a fine rain which was
much needed by the dinner horn boys,
who have got their farms well advanced
for the present crop, and from present
indications they are determined to lower

Doings at Delta.

Editor Union Times:-As the public
are not aware of the fonrishing town
Delta, situate in southern part Of the
dear old county of Union, 1 thought it
would be no harm to give you letter
from this city. The town is built on the
right bank Of Tiger river, which is the
home of the mud cats. The town is SO
civil that the employment of police is
unnecessary. We only have one club in
the place, that being the Sons of Rest,
the chief amusement being sleeping; so
you see we have quiet, happy town.
Messrs. Mobley and Betenbaugh were
the guest of this quiet town on last FRI
day. Mr.. Betenbaugh was more than
pleased; complmented the town with its
beautiful surroundings. Mr.. Mobley's
compliments were seemingly loony, but
with the devotions he has for towns he
proposes to bring down his chain gang
and work out the streets Of this private
town, which was no unusual kindness of
Mr.. Mobley's, for the chain gang has
been seen working the streets of ipcorpo-
rated towns in Mr.. Mobley's territory.
Mr.. Mobley commented on the many
social visits that 1 made to his home,
and what nice things we're fixed up for
me. At home Mobley is a true Southern
man for hospitality, and his good lady is
second to none in getting up an appetiz-
ing meal. Mr.. Betenbaugb, while in
this town, found him to be the same
old social plug as l have always found
him on the streets of Union, or, in his
Office. He is not the man to lose his
head on account Of holding an honorable
position; his face and general appearance
indicate truth and honesty, which is a
true index to his many pages.
Mr.. Bobo, by previous agreement, vi as
to accompany those honorable gents
mentioned to this town, but 1 guess Mr..
BobO had heard Of the obstructed streets
Of this town, for fearing getting his
wheels clogged concluded to take another
route. If Mr.. Mobley could have pos
sessed such wisdom no doubt his sleeping
would have been more satisfactory. Mr..
Bobo is a social old plug, who has won
the confidence of the people. From his
last race, would say Bobo would make
fine retreating soldier.
My previous letters were written for
the amusement Of the Comfy Boaad.
If those gentlemen have made perfect
square in their busiaess--one containing
twelve inches to. the foot See no need
q them fearing the dreaded ghostly re-
feetpn which was mentioned in your
'Iast hsge.;- The public have been in
formed that 1 was the author of Voter,
Uncle Billie and Cross Keys. If the
Devil tells the truth and the people know

Don't Presume or It.

When Representative Burton, of
Cleveland. made his speech a day or
two ago in which he attacked the ma
val policy CT the Administration, he
referred to the QuakerS several times
as men of peace" and to himself as {,
member of the peace party.
Representative Butler, of Pennsyl-
vania, is Quaker. He made a speech
ON Wednesday in reply to Representa-
tive Burton aud in it told of young
Quaker lad who got into an alteration
with an outsider. The outsider slap
ped the Quaker.
The Quaker WINGED and said: "Please
slap me on the other cheek" The out
slider gave him stinging slap on that
check. Nov, friend," said the Qua
ker, Il have obeyed the Biblical in
junction and intend to give thee the
worst thrashing thee ever had.''
''And he did," said Representative
Burton. 'We Quakers are people of
peace all right, but it doesn't do to 90
too far on that hypothesis. ''-Ex-

Phosphates and Fertilizers.

Good prices obtained for cotton dur
ing this season have enabled farmers
In the hill counties OF Mississippi to
invest more heavily than ever in fer
tilizers for the coming crop, and there
is talk there of a rivalry with delta
lands on that account. In Alabama
during January there were sold no.
329 tons of fertilizers as against 49,
els tons in January, 1908, but the
farmers better financial condition is
manifested not only in this increased
fertilizer trade, but in their purchas-
ing for cash better stock and their re-
plenishing their supply of farm imple-
ments and machinery. Baltimore

MISSISSIPPI STREAMS.

Congressman Hill and Mr.. Humph-

gress during the past few days provid-
ing TOR the improvement of the chan
nels OF rivers in their respective dis
tricts-the former for the Yalobusha.
and the latter for the Big Sunhow-
er. 1t will be matter of very great
surprise should they succeed in getting
their bills through, but their constit.
uents will live in hopes.
Ifthese streams were in New Eng
land they would have been made nav
igable long ago-but like John Sharp
Williams in connection with the pres
idential nomination they are on the
wrong side Of the Mason and Dixon
line.
There are several other fine streams
in Mississippi which should receive
some attention at the hands OF con-
gress, and perhaps they will some of
these days-but not yet.-Jacksou
