Village of Princeton.
Automobile Excursions for People
From the Country Will Be
One of the Features.

Just a reminder: Princeton will
hold its second monthly market day
next Saturday, June 26. 1t will be a
day set apart exclusively for the
farmers-a day upon which they may
sell their live stock, farm machinery,
household goods, Or anything else
they desire to dispose of at auction
free of commission: day upon which
they may engage in and witness sports
of various kinds, and day when the
business men of Princeton will offer
inducements in the way of cut prices
on various articles. A band will play
on the main streets and nothing will
be left undone to make the day an
enjoyable as we'll as a profitable one
to the people from the country. The
program of sports follows:
Wheelbarrow race, for farmers only
First prize, So suit case; second
prize, 81 hat. Donated by Kopp &
Bartholomew.
Sack race, for farmers only-First
prize, So Clauss razor: second prize,
So Catterragus pocket knife. Donated

First prize, So pair shoes; second

Automobiles will be at the service
OF the farmers, their families, anG
other visitors throughout the after
noon. It is we'll to state here tha,
these automobile excursions will be
for the exclusive entertainment of the
aforementioned and not for the
residents of the village.
Wheresoever market days have been
established throughout the country
they have, so far as we can ascertain,
proven profitable to the farmers as
we'll as the merchants. Hence more
towns are introducing the monthly
market day every year and, where
once introduced it invariably becomes
permanent.

Forest Fire Near wilton

Wilton, an important numbering
town few miles west of Bemidji, had
a narrow escape from destruction by
forest fires on Monday, and was only
saved by the persistent efforts of the
villagers and the arrival of rain. The
fire was one of the fercest that has
ragged in that region for many years,
and as everything was as dry as
tinder the flames spread at a terrific
speed. Slashings left by lumbermen
in years gone by were responsible for
the fire.

Recommend Storage Battery.

Councilmen Elmer Whitney and A.
G. Smith, who visited the power house
at Jordan last week for the purpose
of inspecting the storage battery in
use at that place, are satisfied that the
installation of a battery at Princeton
would be a profitable investment.
Mr.. Whitney says that the storage
battery does all that is claimed for it
but that Princeton would require a
machine of greater capacity than that
in use at Jordan.

ACCIDENTAL DEATHS
Herbert, Son of r1r. and Mrs. Fred
Barneke, Drowned ia the St.
Francis River Sunday.
Dick Joyce Struck by Great Northern
Flyer at Clear Lake on Friday
and Instantly Killed.

Herbert Barneke, aged Is years,
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Barneke of
Blue Hill, met with a tragic death
while bathing in the St. Francis river
on Sunday. The particulars of the
case as received from Coroner Trum-
bull are as follows:
Herbert, his brother Arthur, and
other boys went to the river to bathe
on Sunday afternoon and, upon
entering the water, Herbert swan up
stream while his companions took the
opposite course. When the latter re-
turned short time after to the place
from whence they started they could
| find no trace of Herbert and some of
them commenced a search for him
while others ran to summon help.
Several people were soon on the spot
and lost no time in searching the
river. 1t was not, however, until 3
o'clock-haf an hour after the boy
was missed-that he was discovered
by Charles Croft and Philip Boehm
at the bottom of deep hole and
pulled out by them. Although every
means were resorted to in an effort
to resuscitate the boy they proved
futile. It is supposed that death re-
suited from cramps.
Funeral services we're held at the
family residence on Tuesday morning
at 10 O'Clock, Rev. Tracy officiating,

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Salisbury, N. c., Nov. 1S.-President
w. w. Finley, of the Southern rail
way, addressing a large gathering
here yesterday, and later speaking at
banquet of the board of trade, ex-
pressed the conviction that in no area
of equal extent in the world is the
agricultural outlook brighter than in
the Southern states, and urged the
farmers rot to neglect the cultivation
of cotton.
I'VE may look forward to a time
in the not far distant future said
Mr. Finley, when the world will call
on the American cotton planters for
20,000,00O bales every year.
Mr.. Finley did not counsel the grow
ing of cotton to the neglect of other
crops, but suggested that an increase
in production is necessary to keep
pace with the demand of the world
and that it might be accomplished by
more intense cultivation and by the
growing of a variety of other crops
with cotton to the profit of the farmer.

Must Join Hands.

The South Mississippi senators and
representatives who for several years
have been clamoring for a more equit-
able legislative apportionment and bet
ter assessment laws are apparently
unwilling to pledge their support to
an amendment providing for constitu-
tional prohibition in order to secure
the support of the prohibitionists. and
unless these two forces Join hands it
is almost certain that neither can
hope for the success of its fight.
The North Mississippi counties will
of course oppose a new legislative ap-
rortionment. and their senators and
representatives can hardly be expected
to support a resolution providing for
the assembly of a constitutional con-
vention. Thus it appears that the ad-
vocates of constitutional prohibition
are between two millstones, and likely
to be ground to pieces when the legis-
lative mill gets in good working order.

Making Last Year, Talks of Plans.

Special 10 the News.
New York, Nov 1S.-A special to
the Eagle from Washington, says
If what certain Republican insur-
gent congressman say is true, there
will be lively doings in the House as
soon as Congress meets. The Repub
lican insurgents claim to have Re-
publicans in line with them who will
be willing to upset the House rules,
strip Cannon of his arbitrary power
and generally turn things upside
down.
Representative Norris, of Nebraska,
ringleader in making trouble for the
House leaders last year, is in Washing
ton. He says he has a list of fifty Re-
publican members of the House who
will stand with the insurgents band
from start to finish. Mr.. Norris will
not give the names of the fifty. He
says he and his associates have come
to the conclusion that they can get
no legislation of the kind they advo-
cate under existing conditions. Con-
sequently, they consider that they
can lose nothing by making warfare
cn Speaker Cannon and his pet rules.
Norris asserts that they will do this.
and furthermore. he seems to be con-
fident of success.

MEETING TO- Be HELD
SATURDAY afternoon
AIi Interested In Having This City
Represented In League Urged. To
Be Present-Committees Meet With
Encouragement.

1t begins to look encouraging for a
baseball team to represent Hatties-
burg. South Mississippi's capital, in
the new league to be organized at
Jackson one week from next Saturday,
November 27.
Committees of local men interested
in having this city represented in the
new league visited many of the bust
ness men of the city yesterday and
received considerable encouragement
in the way of contributions and prom
ises of support in case Hattiesburg is
granted a franchise at the coming
6Tneeting.
Saturday afternoon at l o'clock
there will be a meeting at the Hotel
Hattiesburg of all who are interested
in seeing this city in the league. It
is urged that every. man who feels
any degree of interest in having club
here next year attend this meeting
and give any suggestions or ideas he
may have which will help matters
along.
Mr.. II. S. Haggerty, of 0e Moore
& Haggerty Lumber Company, is
taking an active interest in promot-
ing team in Hattiesburg next sea-
son. which means that nothing will be
left undone which will contribute to
the end in view. He is being ably
seconded in his efforts by Messrs. j.
Hove, williams, Millette and others.
4 majority of the business men of the
city realize the immense advantages
of a good ball club as an advertise
ment for city and they doubtless
will lend all possible assistance to the
effort to put in a good team here.
The meeting at Jackson was to
have been held next Saturday, but
was postponed for week, as several
of the cities found it not convenient
to have representatives at the meet
ing on that date.
