Miller Mercantile Co.'S Big Sale.

Never in the history of Tupelo and
Lee county has sale been so extensive
ly advertised as the one the Miller Mer-
camille Co. will put on next week, be-
ginning Wednesday, August I'd and last
ing for ten days or until Saturday, Au-
gust 18th. 1t is anecessity in this case
that the above concern is sacrificing the
profits of their merchandise, including
their entire stock. They need the space
for fall goods and are willing to give the
people of Tupelo and surrounding coun-
try the benefit. 1t is needless to say
what the Miller Mercantile Co. adver-
tises is just and honest ana any
statement made will be fulfilled. Their
circular and advertising matter but give
the reader slight insight to what the
sale will actually be, and the only way
to get at it's magnitude will be to attend
it and witness it with your own eyes.
The firm is in position to promise bar
gains in merchandise that has never
been offered before They say it vii
prove to the people the greatest dollar
saving sale ever held in Tupelo. Every
lady who takes the Journal should reae
their advertisement on the fifth page O
this issue She will find articles need
ed and by buying during this sale tht
saving will be sufficient for an extra
supply. THIS establishment will b
! closed Monday, July 31st, and Tuesdas.
August 1st, for the purpose OF remark
i ing and arranging the stock. It will b
a big sale and you cannot afford to mis-
/ it. Don't forget that Wednesday, Au
gust End, is the opening. day and tina
the sale will last for ten days.

Resolutions.

The following Resolutions were
unanimously adopted at the
Louisville 1905 Convention, n,
United Confederate Veterans.
Whereas, at our Reunion Of
1904, our federation turned over
to the sons, sacred duty of rising
the funds fof the Memorial to the
women of the Confederacy: and
Whereas, in so doing we never
relinquish our deep and abiding
love for the cause, or our intention
to aid and assist it by every
means in our power; and
Whereas, we have Gle arly
shown this, Ky our appointment
of a committee to cooperate and
by the work, which this commit
tee and many other veterans in all
parts of the South, have done
during the past year; and
Whereas, it will ever be our
most earnest desire to see this
tribute paid to our glorious Wo-
men and we are most anxious to
further cooperate with and give
substantial aid to our Sons in the
performance of this sacred duty;
therefore, be it resolved:
1st. That each Camp Of the
United Confederate Vetrans, i'm
mediately after adjornment OF
this Convention and the return
home Of it's delegates, shall ap-
point a Committee to actively
canvass it's respective community
to raise funds for this Memorial
to the Women of the Confederacy,
to which noble, worthy and just
object this federation and repeat,
edly and solemnly pledge itselfs
and it's comrades,
End. That in case any Camp
does not take action within one
month by appointing this Com
mittee, it shall then become the
duty of it's Commander to make
appointment Of such Committee.
If no action is then taken by
the Commander, any member of
the Camp who is enthused with
that high sense Of his duty to
this holy cause, and desires to
honor our Godlike Women, is
urged to personally take charge
of the matter, secure the endorse
ment of his local Camp or its
officers and make such collections
as he can from his community.
3rd. That all funds collected
under Resolutions one and two,
shall be deposited in some Home
Bank at interest to the credit
of the Chairman of the United
Confederate Veterans Committee
Of Cooperation, (Gen'l c. Irvine

that he shall be promptly advised

tinons are not intended to be

have already taken SIMILAR action
or have already contributed to
| this fund $50 or more.
5th. That each Camp is urged
to endeavor to rise fromi its com
munity, as it's QUOTA, at the
very least, the sum of $50,
9th. That all Camps shall

STATE LINE COUNTRY WILL NOW
YIELD FROM FOURTH TO
THIRD OF PRUNE CROP
j. p. McMinn Tells of Conditions Out
in His Neighborhood-The Last
Freeze Was a Hard One

"Orchards in the state line country
will yield from one-fourtn to one third
of prune crop, although west 1 am in
formed that the yield will be way be-
low this said J. P. McMinn, a prom
inenet fruit grower of the state line,
yesterday. "a week ago it looked as
if we would harvest little more than
one-tenth of a crop, but within the
past few days there has been a no.
ticeable improvement in the appear
ance of the fruit, and 1 am convinced
that on my place 1 will secure about
one-third of an average crop.
THE last freeze was staggering blow
to the fruit men as it means at least a
loss of $4,000 and perhaps $4,000. 1t
is nard to estimate the damage to an
orchard until the time comes to mar
ket the fruit When we only get one
dollar where we have generally re-
ceived two, then we appreciate what
our loss is, and that is about the way
us fruit growers will have to figure
this season.
CAS- to the pear crop, 1 believe there
will be almost a normal yield
