1t Is being remarked by visitors that
Hattiesburg is the only city of it's size
anywhere that has sightseeing au-
tomobile service. In this as in other
things, Hattiesburg has taken the lead.
Only in the very large cities are sight
seeing autos to be found in regular
commission. In some towns they are
called "Rubberneck" wagons, that be.
ing the name given them in little old

friction. The valuation placed ON the
property by the present board,
through committee, was something
over $4,000, but this did not include
the tools. In order to settle the mat

board allowed little more, but not as
much as was requested. In the divi-
sion of the property between the two
counties, Perry was to receive 80 IL
per cent.
There is no doubt that the Perry
County board will ratify the settlement
made by it's president, Mr.. Overstreet.

as many members as would do so take
the trouble to write him on the sub

their respective districts. Messrs.
Gambler and Byrd were mentioned as
congressman who are "all right" on
the subject.
He suggested as a proposed method
of forming national legislation on the
subject, that heavy immigration tax
be imposed, that money qualifica-
ton be required, and that The Nation
al immigration Bureau be abolished,
in line with a resolution adopted by
the national meeting of the Farmers
Union in Memphis last January. His
speech brought forth great applause
when he suggested that cotton
is not so high-priced as to necessitate
the cultivation of all the land we
have. 4

Greenwood Springs, presided over the
meeting, and at the conclusion of Mr..
Pattons speech a vote of thanks was
rendered him, and the following reso-

AN ATIACK ON GIRL
 SCREAMS AWAKENED
The People in Vicinity of Fifth Street and Monroe, Where the Incident Occurred

Late last night while returning from Eastlake park, the wife and daughter of an employe of the Lount Ice plant were attacked by a colored man who picked up the girl, about twelve years Of age and started to run with her The assault took place at the corner of Monroe and Fifth streets and created considerable excitement.
 The lady and girl were walking home when the negro sprang out of the shad- ows of the nearby fence. They were at first paralyzed with fright and made no outcry. But as soon as the man grabbed the little girl and started to run, both cried out, Help, help, mur- der. fire" and after going a short dis tance the man dropped the girl and ran down the street like the wind.
 The screams Of the lady and girl startled many people from their sleep. in that neighbOrhood and soon many were on the scene and running in all directions. Sims Eaton of the South ern Pacific office, who was returning home was one of the first to hear the cries and was quickly on the ground where the brute had made his dastard- ly attempt, but he was by that time nowhere in sight, probably turning down an alley or crossing through a lot to elude pursuers.
 The girl was so badly frightened that she could give no accurate description of her assailant except that he was colored man and wore dark clothing This is the second occurrence of this nature in that vicinity in the past three weeks. No clew to the man who made the former attack has been dis covered. The attacks being made at night in places where there are no street lights, it is difficult to secure a good description of the man so that the police have nothing to guide them in their investigation.

WOMEN CLEVER PERFORMER
They Are Strong Factors With Barnun
 and Bailey Show This Year.

Women are by no means a small part of a circus performance. The success of an entertainment of this nature depends largely on the clever ness of it's women. A difficult eques- trian act, a dangerous performance high on a trapeze or the human intel ligence pitted against the brute instinct of a trained tiger are far more appeal ing when the performer is woman.
 There is an unusually attractive and skillful company of women this year with the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth. First in importance are the La Raque sisters, doubtless the two most daring people before the pub lie anywhere in the world. Their dOu- bIe automobile somersault act is pro nounced as the utter extreme of daring and danger.
 The Yllerom sisters, Nettie Carroll, the Urma sisters, Alberta, Miss Stick ney, the Meers Sisters, Julia Shipp, Miss Heuttermann, Victoria Davenport, Mrs. Lowando and the hundred or SO other young women concerned in the acts of the Imperial Viennese, the Florenz family. the flying Fishers, the
 
 checos, and Les Jardys are women of most pronounced abilities and beauty.
 Altogether it is a wonderful circus that the Barnum and Bailey manage ment will soon bring to Phoenix. It is European in personality, artistic in every detail, infinite in its variety and possessing the charm of great novelty. It surpasses any previous season in size and strength. The parade is again a part of the days exhibitions and there is a new and ornate spectacle to open the long program.
 All the paraphernalia has been re- built. From the last seam in the four teen acres of canvas to the great inn ported parade vehicles all is new. The two performances here will be given exactly as presented at the beginning of the season in the Madison Square Garden, New York City. The show made the biggest hit there in its fifty four years of world travelling.
