Air-SIaked Lime.

Air-slaked lime is cheap and is one
OF the best materials that can be ap-
piled to prevent diseases and lice. 1t
will serve to make a damp house dry
and destroys the germs of roup. The
floor, walls, roosts, nests and yards
may be freely busted with it. In the
runs Of little chicks it will destroy
gapes and prevent loss of chicks from
that cause. 1t is harmless and saves
labor because a few handfuls, used
once day, will be efficacious and
avoid much hard work that would
otherwise be necessary.-Weekly Wit

GOV. Vardaman'S Farewell Message
Remarkable Document Making Strong Recon-
mendatiOn For Public Good

Jackson. Miss.-Governor Varda-
mars message, the last annual mes
sage IT his eventful four years term,
was read in the Senate and House,
and was listened to with marked in
terest and attention. The message is
written in Vardaman S vigorous, elo-
quent and forceful style, and covers
a variety of subjects of state inter-
est. 1t was the longest document ever
submitted to Mississippi's law-mak-
ing body, consisting of nearly twen-
ty thousand words. The governor
discussed the states financial condi-
ton at length, stating that the report
of the secretary Of state shows most
gratifying growth in the organization
of corporate enterprises for the last
two years which indicates great faith
In the material future of Mississippi
on the part of those who have money
to invest. The increase In this form
of wealth for the last two years is
without parallel in the history of the
state.
The report of the efficient treasur-
er. Hon. w. j. Miller, reveals most
encouraging and satisfactory condi-
ton of the states finances. 1t shows
the total payable bonded indebted
ness of the state to be about $780,
600 in round numbers which is about
the most of the new capitol If bonds
had been issued as authorized by law
for the building Of the new capitol
lfississnppi's payable bonded indebt-
edness need not have been one dollar
today, except for the building Of the
capitol.
The following are the recommends
tons submitted:
Constitutional Amendment.
To give legislature unrestricted au-
shortly to deal with states public
school system, and distribute school
funds to whites and negroes proper
tionate to taxes paid by each race.
To distribute more uniformly repre-
sentation in the state legislature.
To provide for an elective judic-
larry.

THE FOOTBALL GAME.

The foot ball game this afternoon
was called off on account of the in
clemency of the weather.
While games are usually played,
rain or shine, the fierce conditions of
the weather which prevailed all day
and gave no promise of letting up
for tomorrow, both teams agreed to
let the game scheduled for the 31st
decide the matter of the champion
ship. unless the negotiations which
are under way between the two
schools can arrange for a satisfactory
date. in which case the champion
ship will be settled in the usual man
ner.
BY special agreement, the Junction
team will get half of the proceeds of
the next game and Will pay their
own expenses.
Some talk of holding the teams ov-
er until tomorrow was heard, but the
superintendent of the Delta schools
would not hear to this.
The Basketball Game.
The basket ball game. instead of
being called off, was postponed until
tonight at 7:45. and will have no
bearing on the championship. 1t Will
be played at the Margery hall. and
an exciting contest may be expected.
Both teams are in fine shape and
are confident of a victory
After the big game, refreshments
will be served and a fine program
will be rendered. A very nominal
charge will be made for the entire
evening and a crowded hall is eX-
pected.
The Delta following will be as
signed one portion of the hall dur
ing the game. and the junction root
ers win be given the other, and some
real live roofing is expected The
schools have long been rivals, and the
feeling and excitement which would
have ensued had the foot ball teams
played today will probably break out
tonight at the exhibition game.
Remember, no one IS barred on
account of extreme youthlriliess o.
age, and anyone who wishes to use
their lungs will not be looked upon
as undignified or giddyish II they
do so tonight. There is a time for
everything, and tonight viii be the
time to show your loyalty to your
school and town.
