The applicants are the present

of Pontitoc; Hon. n. w. Brad

Bell of Starkville The appli-
cants are all we'll known through
out the District and either one
would make a good Judge as
they are learned in the law and
are upright and honorable citi-
zens. Columbus people, how
ever, have a partiality TOR Judge
Sykes who for a number of years
served them so faithfully and so
well. Since Judge Sykes was

WIN0NA DEFEATED
BY HOME BOYS
INTERESTING FOOTBALL GAME AT LAKE
PARK FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

The Franklin Academy foot
ball team, of this city. defeated
the Winona High School team
Friday afternoon by two touch
downs.
From the beginning to the end
each player fought with all the
strength he could command. The
struggle was as hard a one as
has been witnessed in Columbus
in many a day. At the end of
the second half the players were
fighting as hard as when the
game was initiated; the bal
having been kept near the center
of the field almost the entire
time of both halves. The battle
was opened by the kicking of
Winona to Columbus. The first
half ending 0 to 0, while the two
tuochdowns in the second were
won for the home boys.
Coachers, w. V. Frierson, of
this city, and ]. L. Robertson, of
Winona, have each a well trained
eleven, which can be verified
by the witnesses of this game.
Hearty applauses were often
given by the small but enthusi-
astic crowd.
The features or the game were
the playing of Landrum, Frank
lin, Beckwith, Howard and
Brooks for Columbus; Hall, Ella,
Campbell an d Randle for
Winona; and th e work f
both teams were we'll emphasized.
The following was the lineup:

RECKLESS GAMBLE
With DEATH
DOUBLE SOMERSAULTIH6 AUTOMOBILE
WITH RINcLlNe BROTHERS.

citement will find it in stirring
measure at the performance of
Ringlling Brothers Greatest
Shows this season. A daring
young Frenchwoman invites
death at every performance by
steering a double somersaulting
automobile down an almost per-
pendicular plane from an apex
of the tent, the terrific leap be-
ginning at the mid-air terminus
of the suspended incline and end
ing upon a platform fifty feet
distant. The deviation of hairs
breath from the mathematical
line of flight and the time of
twice som mersaulting in the hor-
rifying leap and terrible death
awaits the nervy occupant of the
ponderous machine. The situa-
ton at the moment Miss La
Roche takes her seat in the dead
ly car, and the multitude look
with awed, plying expression
upon their faces, is one that
would bring indelible fame to the
artist who could adequately de-
pict the tense and fascinating
scene. The deadly head-over-
heels leap, ingenious novelty of
feat and breathless excitement
combine to make this the su-
preme sensation of the circus
world.
There have been startling acts
of caring on the bicycle and au-
tomobile brought forward by
Ringling Brothers within the
last few years, but the double
somersaulting automobile makes
all the other sensations appear
tame and unimportant. 1t is the
definite limit of human achieve
ment in the game with destiny,
where natural laws and life's
experience are set at naught and
taunted by the defiant deed of a
stoical nature. One may say he
does not care to witness so dread
fully perilous a performance, but
the spirit and picture of the
scene when the time arrives for
its enactment will dispel this IL
lusion and hold him with eager
and awed expression until the
last lap of the meteoric ride is
spun. 1t is impossible to con-
ceive an act of human daring
more astoundingly dangerous
than the double somersaulting
automobile feat.

hibit here Wednesday Nov. 4th.

that of boy that could not
have been more than twelve years of

day some one found a pair of shoes
that they had dropped which they
had taken from Reynols & co. s

Every one is inclined to think
that it was two or three boys who
did the work. and that they took an
early freight train out of town. This
is the second burglary that has oc-

speech of nomination was the sig

a decrease from lastyear but this is
