An amended petition, listing ST.
500 worth of real estate and $50 in
money was filed by John B. Ballan-
ger, bankrupt, of Marshall county,
with Referee f. w. Bagby. Ballan-

belonged to the state, having been
formally bought in for delinquent

when Ballanger had his first exami-
nation by creditors.
Referee Bagby ordered $3.50 paid
into the bankrupt estate of the +.
Rehkopf Saddlery company by Rice

Miss. The money was collected on a

THE TRUTH

Regardless of the original merits
of the controversy between Superin-
tendent Lieb of the city schools and
certain members of the school board,
and caring little enough whether he
receives from the board the sum rep
RESENTED by his stipulated salary for
the month of August, in view of the
fact that personally interested trus-
tee is reporting the proceedings OF
the board for one paper, and another
is $50 far as we know copying its
reports from the first one, The Sun
feels it a duty to put the issue square
ly for the benefit OF those trustees,
who are insisting that the board car
ry out its obligations.
There is a subsisting. written con-
tract between Superintendent Lieb
and the school board, expiring by its
terms. September /, 1907. This con-
tract was ordered by the school board
one year ago last March, at least two
months before IL was was signed by
the president and secretary of the
hoard and by superintendent Lieb,
and The Sun some time since repro-
duced the published reports OF that
meeting from the News-DemocratI
and the morning paper in which 1t
was stated that the contract should
expire September 1.
II is true that the contract for the
wear preceding ended August 1, ami
there was hiatus of one month be
fore the inception of the last contract,
but Il is a fact. nevertheless, that
sunerintendent Lieb remained in Pa
dueah and worked that month.

Says the News-Democrat: at must
be evident to all that had the court
of appeals sustained the election of
1906 there would have been little
chance for the state ticket in Louis

by a big vote, insuring the defeat,
perhaps, Of Hager for governor, and
Beckham for senator"

1.-THE Mercy OF Coming
Events"

We must al wonder, for Il
moment now and then, what
strange new brew" is being
prepared for us by the busy
forces which We name "Cir-
cumstances.
In the home lie the exit Of
q servant; in the store, some
thing happens to our best
clerks; in every business ven
ture something "upsets" our
favorite plan. II We own prop
erty. our best tenant leaves,
or our nelghbor sells his prop
erty at a big profit-while
we "hold on" to ours, not
Willingly.
Emerson expressed Il:
MAN imprisoned in mortal
life. lies open to the mercy OF
coming events"
And the truth has led rs
TO consider ways and means
for taking the sting out Of"
these coming events - for
turning them into endurable
burdens. And Of these WAYS
and means which we have
created, the chiefest is Want
Advertising. A wise use OF
this modern convenience. this
Instrument of service, Not
only makes coming events
merciful-it makes us 10 con-
template them without trepi-
