An important change in the regula- tions for acquiring homesteads on the public domain was announced recently by Commissioner Ballinger of the gen. eral land office. AS an additional pre- caution against fraud, ail persons mak- ing homestead entries on public lands after November 1st next will be requir- ed to be actual residents on the lands for fourteen months before they will be permitted to commute the entries to obtain title by a cash payment. Heretofore, the period of actual resi- dence has been eight months. The ruling will not affect entries made prior to November l, 1907.

| All Columbus mourns the death of
Mrs. Alicia Ann Campbell, the be-
| loved wife of Mr.. w. A Campbell,
which occurred at the Columbus Hos
pital at nine O'Clock last Thursday
night. Mrs. Campbell had been i'll
for nine weeks, and for the past ten
days had been lowering between life
and death. She had every attention
that a devoted husband and sympa-
thetic friends could bestow upon her,
but skilled medical treatment and
careful nursing proved impotent in
the combat with disease, and in the
stiffness of the Indian summer night
her soul escaped from earthly bond
age, and winged its fight to its eter-
nal resting place beyond the silent
river.
Mrs Campbell was of Scotch-Irish
parentage, having been born in Ire
land She was descended from a no.
BILE race, her grandfather, Rev John
Campbell, having for sixty years been
pastor Of one OF the leading Presby
terian churches in Glasgow. At an
early age she came with her parents
TO America, and her girlhood days
were spent in Franklin, Tenn She
later removed to Nashville, where, in
1891. she was married to Mr.. w A.
Campbell. Since her marriage Mrs
Campbell has resided in Columbus,
and no one was more universally be-
loved than she. Having been Chris
tian from infancy, she evinced great
deal of interest in religious work,
and was one of the most influential
as well as one of the most beloved
members of the First Presbyterian
church. She was very fond of chill
dren, and in turn was greatly be-
loved by them, SO that her work in
the Sunday school was particularly
effective. Mrs. Campbell was regard
ed as one of the most earnest, zeal
Gus and untiring of the many noble
Christian workers in Columbus, and
she will be sadly missed both by her
co-workers and by the many who
have received from her not only Bib
lical instruction, but sympathy and |
comfort. when weighted down by sor-
row and care.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Camp |
bell is survived By three brothers, |
Mr.. Archie Campbell, of Natchez, |
Miss, and Messrs. John and Pat
of Nashville, Tenn. Mr..
and Mrs. Archie Campbell and Mr.. |
Pat Campbell have been here several
days, and Mr.. John Campbell left
Nashville Immediately upon being no
t:fied OF his sisters death, having
reached Columbus at noon Thursday
The funeral occurred at the First
Presbyterian church at three o'clock
Thursday afternoon, having been con-
1ucted by the pastor, Rev. J. j. Hill.
The interment was at Friendship
cemetery, Messrs. J. T.. s. Albright,

THE TENNESSEANS
WIN BY ONE SCORE
THE ). r. e. NOSED OUT IN GAME
WITH A. x VI. c., HAVING
WON GAME By SCORE
OF SIX TO FIVE.
Mississippians Put Up Gallant Fight,
And the Contest Showed That
Both Aggregations Were
Evenly Matched.

Had Dorroh succeeded in kicking
goal. the game of football played al
the fair grounds Friday afternoon by
teams representing the Mississippi A
and NJ. College and the Southwestern
Presbyterian University, which was
won by the Tennesseans by score
of six to f1ye might have resulted
differently. In the second half, dur
ing the first five minutes of play,
Capt. Furman of the A and NJ team
made touchdown, and had Dorroh s
attempt to kick goal been successful
/ the Mississippians would have been
even with the Tennesseans, who made
their six scores in the first half Dor
rob lacked a few inches of putting
| the ball across the pole, and no other
score having been forthcoming, Capt
Cheeks men were victorious.
The touchdown of the Tennesseans
resulted from Rogers onside kick,
and the Mississippians claimed a foul
on the play. The ball landed several
feet inside the line and rolled over,
but Referee Connor called it fair,
and after the two teams had wrang-
led several minutes over the decision
play proceeded.
Allen, the S. P. US left half, was
hurt during the early stages of the
game, and his place was taken by
Raines. His injuries, however, are
not of a serious nature
The bucking of McInnis and the
feet running by Furman, knight,
Morris and Dorroh were features of
the game. Dent. although kept out
of the game by a bad knee, took Nor
ris' place during the last five min
utes of the concluding half, and play
ed brilliantly
While the Mississippians lost the
inglorious. They fought valiantIy,
and the game was lost by such a mar
row margin that no one can truth
fully assert that the Suthwestern
Presbyterian University has the su-
perior team of the two. In fact, the
two teams are pretty evenly matched,
the average weight of the men com
posing both aggregations being LIS
pounds each. The advantage Friday
afternoon lay with Tennessee, whose |
boys were all in fine trim, while their |
opponents were by no means in the |
best condition. Dent, one of Missis- |
sippi's star players, was laid up with |
a game leg, and was in the game only /
during the last FIVE minutes of play, |
having succeeded Morris, who sus-
tanned injuries of a minor nature and
was compelled to retire.
Everything considered, the Missis-
sippians put up a great game, and
not only Capt. Furman, but the fac
ulty and student body OF the A. and
NJ. College, have just cause to feel
proud of the team. The lineup:

WHEAT-There has been rather

trade mostly of local character
Liverpool showed an advance of Nc
with Berlin Nc lower and Buda Pesth
1ac to &c higher. Most of the news
been favorable. With the general i'm
preston it is too early to determine
as to damage. The northwest receipts
were rather liberal and Minneapolis
stocks increase $4,000 for four days.
The foreign situation was rather bear
ish. Some rains reported in India
where needed and special crop re-
though receipts at Odessa and country
offerings were nil. Flour demand was
dull and but little inquiry for cash
wheat. Local elevators at Minneapolis
say their country elevators will be
cleaned out of wheat by April and
special report on our local contracts
stocks shows a very small proportion
OF floating wheat. Speculatingly
wheat acts as if should sell lower, but
the persistent arguments on the do
nestle situation calls for some thought
before making short sales. The close
is barely steady with slight advance
over yesterday.
CoRN-Market has taken the lead
today and sold at new high level
for May. Around the opening there
was some realizing sales made by
some large local longs, but this was
absorbed by new recruits to the bull
side and few shorts. Receipts were
only "a cars and rains and snow over
corn belt were main influences in
advancing prices. There is as yet no
disposition on the part of the big longs
to sell and country offerings are very
light. Grading is poor and a fair de-
mand for kiln dried corn even at the
advance. Looks as If the 70 cent
mark would be reached and yet the
prices at the moment should be at
tractive to those who are long.
