her uncle Eds Monday evening, and
was playing around the wagon. she fell
in some way, her clothes caught on the
the wheel throwing her in such man
ner rs to break her arm just above the
wrist, the homes protruding. This was a
sickning affair. 1t was some time before
the wound could be dressed as they

George Gee. sr. got q severe shaking

the finish Of him. Along toward eleven
o'clock he stepped out TO look around
the corner of his shop to see the state OF
the weather. It was terrible dark and
he stepped little to far west and fell
into hole left in the floor of the Stei

tom of the cellar but the impact with
the jOist broke three of his ribs loose
and nearly broke his arm. His condition
is very painful and it will be weeks be-
fore he is able to do anything. A crack
ed rib is bad enough but lot of broker
ones is still worse.

Close the door leading into the
kitchen to keep the OdOr of the cook

room despite these precautions gets
hot and sultry wiring some cloths out
OF cold water and hang them in front
of the window, which you have partial
ly opened, and allow the breeze to
blow through the wet cloths until
they are dried. Quickly close the win
dOws and place a dish or pail Of cold
water in the middle of the room. AS
soon as the water becomes warm re-
move it from the room.
Even on the most sultry. muggy day
this method will seldom fail to cool

the water will give the room a deli

On Friday night of last week, Miss
Rose Schmid received an injury at the
hands of Jane Kingston that might have
proved very serious. 1t seems that as
Miss Schmid was driving home their
cows, one of them strayed over on the
side of the road near Jane Kingston's
place; Jane at once came running out
with rake and striking at Rose, drove
her home. Jane then went home and
and Rose again came out in front of her
home began to milk the cows. Jane
again came running ont. this time arm
ed with u pitch fork and drove the
Schmid girl into her own yard, then
struck her with the fork. The fork
struck her on the inner side of the arm,
juet above the elbow, entirely up thrO-
ugh the muscles for some distance.
The wound was at once treated by q
physician and also pronounced danger
ous. While so far the wound is healing
naturally, still there was danger of blood
poison or lock jaw as the fork was quite
rusty. A complaint has been filed
against Jane Kingston but the trial has
has not yet come of. This is rather a
serious case and we think that Jane will
not find it so easy to get out as some OF
her cases, were. There is talk of trying
her before the board Of insanity, but this
is getting old as that has been tried be-
fore. There is one thing sure, there
should be something done. She Is no fit
person to live in community, as she
is always having trouble.

Cotton Warehouse.

The Warehouse Committee of the
Farmers Union held meeting in the
conrt room in Macon, Wednesday morn
ing. Only twenty-five or thirty people
were present, the small attendance
being due, in part, to the farmers being
busy in their fields.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. E. F. Anderson. Hon. Walter
Price introduced the speaker of the
occasion, Mr.. Bradshaw, State Lecturer
of the Union. Mr.. Bradshaw made a
fine and instructive speech, impressing
upon his hearers the advantage of CO.
operation, education, scientific farming
ane Investigation of crops, and the
Importance of raising stock and food
products at home.
About the warehouse, no action was
taken, except to appoint two commit
tees, of two members each, which
were to canvass Macon and Shuqualak,
respectively, as to what inducements
they would offer.
Hon. Walter Price and Mr.. jeff.
Flora were the committee for Macon,
and Messrs. Knight and Hurst for
Shuqualak. There was much enthusi-
asm about the warehouse, and the Far
mers' Union is going to have one in
Noxubee whether Macon or elsewhere,

Thieves at Work.

Thieves operated extensively
one night this week in town. DR..
Patton, Mr.. Champeuois and Scott
Farmers houses were entered and
two Italian peddlers held up at
the point of pistol, butt no one
has been able to find out il any
money was secured, as the Dagoes
could speak very little English
and did most of their talking with
their hands. Six dollars in money
and pistol from Mr.. Champenois
and $50 from Mr.. Farmer, was
about all the intruder got. The
thief operated through window
in DIR. Patton's bed room and with
a piece of moulding secured the
doctors trousers from the foot
of the bed. Mrs. Patton awoke
just in time to see the pants
go through the window and the
doctor got good sight of the
thief as he went through the back
yard. DIR. Patton had no fire arms
and called to Mr.. Stennis, his next
door neighbor, for a pistol, when
the thief fired off his pistol. The
thief left the pants in a corn field,
Otter relieving them of small
medicine case.
This is another case where
blood hounds could have been used
successfully and caught a theft who
has been operating in Macon for
some time.
