| promised some good baseball this sum-
mer. John Carmen assisted by Geo.

the team. New uniforms have been
ordered, contract for new g~randstand
let and games with the following towns
have been booked: Mayfield, Kentucky;
Jackson, tennessee; Corinth, Mississippi.

At the electric theatre during the
past week several wonderful exhibits
have been given. Seemingly those
who originate and plan the scenes new
err lack in originality and are always
able to bring forth something new.
While the show only cost scents to wit
ness, the fact should not be forgotten
that the plays cost of hundreds Of dol
lars to produce. For innocent music
you cannot find anything better for 5
cents.
G. P. Long went to Russelville, Ala,
Monday to appear in defense of the
Williams Brothers who stood indicted
for arson. Mr.. Long succeeded in hav-
ing the case against the Williams mol
pressed as there was no evidence upon
which the state could rely on to secure
a conviction. The indictment, in Mr..
Longs opinion, was returned against
them for the sole purpose of having
the boys returned to Alabama on a req.
uisition in order to use their testimony
against a man name Frost under a SIM
iliar Indictment. The indictment against
Frost was also mol pressed.

The United Bankrupt Cos. sale of
the Mason & Co.'S. bankrupt stock at
the Mason & Co. store house, Tupelo,
Miss, beginning, rain or shine, Satur-
day morning, May Is, at 9 o'clock, is
an interesting and profitable event. AL
ways wherever they conduct these
sales-and they conduct them all over
the Southern StateS-the sensational
prices made draw large crowds of ca
ger bupers, because these sales only
last 10 days. All the goods would be
bought in one day if the people could
be waited on. On Saturday, May 16,
from 9 o'clock to $50 they will sell 1C
yards of best grade calico for Csc, and
again from 11:30 to 1900 o'clock, to
give the country people a chance, they
will also sell 10 yards of calico for 25c.
This is only only one of the many SEN
sational features of the sale. Get their
large size circular and read their small
size prices. Remember the United
Bankrupt Co.'S. sale Of the Mason &
Co. bankrupt stock at the Mason & Co.
