AGO.

Brooks Story died at the Stag
hotel in Hattiesburg Wednesday
night, Story was reared in the
central part of the state, neal
kosciusko, and for Il long perioc
of his early life he led one of tIie
most checkered cereers that ever
brought notoriety to a man.
Story's escapades finally landed
him III the state penetentiary sew
eral years ago, but after getting
him in their charge the peniten lar,
aut horities were ut their wits ends
to keep him, as bars, guards, or
any other detaining forces never
seemed to deter him from planning
and successfully executing num-
ber of daring escapes.
| Story himself at one time related
with Il seeming degree of pride how
he received word in the penitenti.
AIRY of the fact that his wife was
sick unto death and other members
of his family were seriously ill at
their home in Attala county. Sto-
ry applied to the authorities for
permission to visit his family, but
his request was refused. He i'm
mediately planned to escape, disa-
pearing according to the scheme he
had laid, visited his family, re-
manned with them a short time and
then returned to the penitentiary.

serving his sentence again. After

In every country town there is a
sign at the railroad crossing like
this: Look out for the cars"
Look out for the cars"
Now, everybody in that town
knew it was a railroad crossing the
day the track was laid. When the
sign was put up it took two days
not longer-for every inhabitant to
become familiar with it. In a
week even the small children could
read it and spell it backward Did
the railroad take it down? No.
If they had the warning would have
been forgotten in a week and
smash-ups and damage suits would
have resulted.
One time advertisements act the
same way. You must keep ever
lastingly at it, like the railroad
crossing sign. .-Ex.

Stopped His Paper.

some time ago, cranky sort of
individual came into this office and
stopped his paper because some
thing in it didn't just suit his fam
cy.
We have frequently met him on
the street since then, and it is
amusing to noe the look of surprise
on the fellow $ face when he realiz-
es that the editor is still existing,
regardless of the fact that we are
no longer getting his 81.
Some day, however-and it will
not be long-that gentleman will
turn up his toes, His heart will
be stllled forever. There will be n
display OF pretty posies and crepe
and the neighbors and friends will
follow his lifeless clay out to the
Silent City and lay it to rest in the
deep dark tomb.
An obituary will be published in
thls paper, telling what kind hus-
band, loving father, good neighbor,
beloved citizen, and how progress
sive and pubic spirited he was
which the recording angel will
overlook for sweet cllarity's sake
and III Il short time he will be for
gotten.
AS he lies out there in the cold.
cold graveyard, wrapped in the 81,
lent slumber of death, he will never
know the last kind words spoken of
him will be by the editor of the na-
per which he so so spitefully
stopped"
