HONUS DISREGARDS
 WISHES OF B. DREYFUS

Pittsburg, Dec 29.--Hans Wagner. the National Leagues champion bats man, has gone in for basketball with a vengeance in spite of the ultimatum issued some time ago against the game by President Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg club. For some time there has been A Hans Wagner basketball team in Grafton, Pa, but 1t was intimated that Wagner was not playing on 1t.
 This it appears was wrong, Tor the big fellow took center himself in hard game with the Artz team and managed to beat them badly. Pitcher Bill Powell of the champions, who has signed with the south side basketball team and who has drawn the fire of Dreyfuss. continues to play and de- does.s

CORBETT NOT A TRAINER
GENTLEMAN JIM sPURNs SUCH AN
 IDEA.
May Advise Jeff, But as for Putting on AEftts With Big Man Not For
 Meet.

SulCABVs 0tCs <Js--JAitiCb d. (VA pStt rises to register strong kick against being dubbed trainer for Jim Jeffries in the latterb championship fight with Jack Johnson. Addresisng the audi ence at the American Music Hall. Cor bett said:
 "The impression seems to have spread that am going to turn trainer. This, in all that the term implies. Is unjust to me. I have gone too far in theatri- cal work to step back into active paid work connected with the prize ring.
 But 1t is just as true that am go- ing into training myself at once--thfs week--so that can get Into the proper condition to give Jenries the needed boxing that he needs.
 These are the facts: was in Lon don when Jeffries jumped down from Carlsbad and asked me how much money I would take to train him for piled that there was not enough money in circulation for that
 But I added that would gladly drop everything and go with him as q friend, absolutely without considers. forty days before his fight, that would be in his corner at the battle and that would give him all that have of ad- vantage toward victory.
 T know the defensive end Of the fighting game just as Johnson plays 1t. I feel that can be invaluable to Jeff- ries in his ambitions toward defeating Johnson. I want to send the greatlst honors in pugilism back to the white race. And for that reason ain going to make sacrifice such as I promised Jeff
 T am going to give him series of hard battles In training quarters. He is like race horse that needs few races to put him in trim to win. Jeff has not had real fight for seven years. I will supply the real fighting. But I want it borne in mind that do this without compensation or hope of reward except the satisfaction of help ing one of my personal friends and aiding as far as I can to restore the championship to my own race. T feel that with tho proper aid and advice Jeff can make the weight and condition, and my prophecy is that If nothing untoward intervenes he will defeat Johnson"

The Serpent of Socialism.

Few people realize that the
Shiny trail of the serpent of Soci-
alism is widening and spreading
at an alarming rate in our cities,
and even in small towns that
contain a foreign element. Soci-
alism seeks to tear down the en-
tire structure of our civilization
morally and politically. Under
the guise of making war on the
rich it is seeking to overthrow re-
ligion, the sanctity of married
life, the rights of personal prop
erty and many other sacred in
situations and customs under
which we live, and to institute
heathenish customs of thousand
years ago. Like the Mormon ell
der. the Socialist propaganda
keeps in the back ground the
most disgusting and offensive of
his theories and appeals to the
hatred against those who have
accumulated wealth. calling for an
equal division.

Knocked On The Head With
An AK.

On Friday evening of last week
Messrs Walter Murphy and G. w.
Simon were possum hunting on
Periwinkle when they were met
by Fletcher and Ollie Nunley. A
difficulty arose between Fletcher
Nunley and Walter Murphy,
(said to have grown out of an old
grudge,) in the course of which
Fletcher hit Walter on the side of
the head with the fiat of an ak
that he carried, knocking him
senseless. The Nunley boys
went away and Simon remained
with the wounded man until near
ly day light before he was able to
walk home. A physician was
sent for who, after examination
reported fracture of the skull. At
last accounts, however, Walton
was improving and it is thought
will recover. An investigating
trial is set to take place here next
Saturday if the wounded man is
able to come here. The above
version we got from Mr.. Simon
who was present.

man of this committee. The AS

A number of the teachers decid-

which President H L Whitfield

of Miss.
Prof Gooch made an impressive
address in which he showed from
the U s statistics that Mississippi
is far below the average in educa-
tional matters, especially in re-
gard to the low rate of taxation
for school purposes. From our
county records he produced sta
tistics that placed Tishomingo co
nearly at the bottom of the list of
the state of Mississippi. He spoke
in way that made the patrons
and teachers feel that he had their
interest at heart. The people of
the neighborhood showed their
hospitality in every way, possible.
