ELEPHANT PULLS a TIMEPlEcE
Swallowed a Fine Watch Belonging to
Woman.

When the elephant comes to Amer
icus it will be well for those who throw
peanuts into the animals trunk to re-
call the experience of q woman a few
days ago who was thus engag sd. The
elephant reached out his trunk and
plucked from her belt splendid gold
watched encrusted in diamonds and
valued at $500. This he swallowed
with religious ecstacy, and as the
woman did the highland fling in mad
fright the elephant reached for her
bonnet and swallowed it as well. And
just for little thing like that she is
now suing the circus company for
damages.

AN INNOVATION FOR WEDDING:
Guests Celebrate at Expense of the
Father-in-Law.

When a girl in Macon, Mo-, gets
married the celebration differs.from the
prosaic style adhered to in Americus
and other provincial cities. At we'd
ding there night or two ago the ten
saloons in the town were chartered till
for those who wanted to drink
to the health of the bridegroom and the
newly@made bride. The hospitality was
taken advantage of by many and re-
peatedly, but no one got drunk. The
police had an easy time. The band was
out and fireworks were displayed. 1t
was great night, and the bridegroom
says he intends to celebrate each ami
versary of his wedding the same way.

THE FIRST BALE COTTON

The first bale Of cotton received in
jackson was bought by Jones' Kenning
ton 90, and it is officially endorsed
by the compress as being the first Of
this seasons crop. It was brought in
BY e. L. johnson of near Florence,
RANKIN county, graded as midling and
weighed 400 pounds. The price paid
was Il cents per pound.
This was not the first bale brought
to jackson, but it was the first one
sold or placed on the market. The
frst' TO arrive was raised on the ex-
perimental farm Of the Mississippi
Cotton Oil Company, near Jackson,
and was simply hauled to the mill and
stored away for future reference, as
will be all others produced there.
This experimental farm contains 1e
acres OF land, and will make at least
10 bales in spite of the bad weather
conditions. Two weeks ago, the
manager, Hon. Clay Sha1key, was
confident he would get bale and a
quarter per acre. but during the last
past few days it has been shedding
badly, and has thrown off everything
except the old bolls. Mr.. Sharkey is
experimenting SO as to learn the cor
rect amount of fertilizer to use on cot.

Early and eight acres of Peterkin. but

what brand is the best. He states
that every lock of cotton on his 16
acres will have been picked and gin

OF fertilizers in another direction-ar

eve are not willing to see him suffer
for so small thing as selling Whiskey-
let us stand for him and perhaps by some
hook or crook he may be able to get out OF
it in the circuit court, and can continue
his business at the same old stand"
The above is true and is burning
shame upon our people and upon those
who rule the destiny of the sacred houses
of God. The officers are utterly power
less to suppress crime unless the people
and especially church members give
them unstinted support. 1t is not con-
