Mr.. Johnston, representing the
State Revenue Agent, will be at
the court house, in the city of
Columbus, on Friday and Satur-
day, June 4th and 5th, for the
purpose of adjusting back tax
matters. He invites every per-
son against whom there is an
assessment for back tax, to meet
him. and with him, modify.
change and correct, if incorrect,
such assessment. Mr.. Johnston
realizes the fact that on account
of partial payments, failure to
enter satisfaction on the records,
and for other reasons, in many
instances the assessments are in
correct, hence his purpose in
coming to Columbus, and his de-
sire to meet the people and adj
just the assessments to conform
to the facts. m27-3t

RAIN STORM
VISITS COLUMBUS
WIND AND RAIN STORM PASSED
THROUGH STATE LAST MONDAY.
SLIGHT DAMAGE IN COLUMBUS
SOUTHERN R. R. SUFFERS LOSS

Monday evening about dusk
threatening clouds hung over the
city and in a short while the
wind blew terrifically and the
rain fell in torrents. There was
no damage however except trees
blown down, which caused
trouble at the electric light plant
and for several minutes the city
was in total darkness.
The western part of the state
was visited by very hard wind
and rain storm.
The delta section had about
eight hours of continuous rain
fall which was followed up by a
very hard wind and electrical
storm. Streams rose rapidly and
quite a great deal of damage was
done by the high water. The
Southern in Mississippi suffered
again at Big Sand creek, water
getting over the track for a dis
tance of about four miles, and
practically washed away, all of
the new work that was being put
in at that point and causing a
considerable loss to that COM
pany. 1t was necessary to de-
tour all trains Monday morning,
via l. C. to Grenada and the Y.
& NJ. V. to Greenwood. This
caused some delay to the South
ern in Mississippi trains arriving
at Columbus. The work at Big
Sand creek will be put back and
every effort made TO put this
place in first-class shape.
The telegraph poles were
struck by tightening in several
different places and the wires
were badly discommoded for
several hours.

JOHN PARKER
FIRED UPON
S. D. MGWlLLIAMS TAKES A SHOT AT
PROMINENT GARROLTON, ALABAMA,
MAN MONDAY NIGHT
TRIAL HELD BY THE MAYOR

What came near being a Sc
rious affair occurred at the Com
mercial hotel about 1920 o'clock
last Monday evening when Mr..
S. d. McWilliams a guest of the
hotel shot at Mr.. John Parker of
Carrollton, Ala.
McWilliams and Mrs. Gully
and little son, came to Columbus
last Sunday and registered at
the Commercial hotel. They
said they were cousins and were
given rooms adjoining. McWil-
liams lclaimed that Parker was
trying to force his way into Mrs.
Gully's apartment when he
opened fire on him. He also
claimed that Parker had sent a
note to Mrs. Gully after she had
retired. She sent Parker word
that she would dress and see
him in the parlor, and that Par
ker did not wait but insisted
upon entering her room, and in
the meantime, he, McWiIliams,
resented Parker's actions and
fired upon him.
Mr.. Henry Gunter who knew
nothing of the affair until the
gun was fired, Immediately sum-
moned Policemen Nickels and
Morton, and McWilliams, Mrs.
Gulley and Parker were placed
under arrest.
The case was tried before
Mayor Donnell Tuesday after
neon. McWilfiams said he shot
at Parker and gave as his rea-
son that Parker had insulted his
cousin. Parker claimed that a
colored porter, Albert Brownrigg
had said that it would be all
right for him to go into Mrs.
Gully's room. Brownrigg swore
on the stand that Parker visited
the hotel on Sunday night and
gave him a note for Mrs. Gully
which he delivered Monday
morning and she answered it but
the answer was lost before it
was delivered to Parker. Par
ker denied writing the note.
The evidence concluded, Mayor
Donnell bound McWilliams over
to the circuit court in the sum of
5000.
Mr.. Gunter swore out a war
rant against Parker for trespass-
ing and the trial was held yes
terday morning at 10 o'clock.
The same witnesses testified that
were heard Tuesday. After the
evidence from both sides was
heard Mayor Donnell imposed a
fine of $100 and costs upon
Parker.

VERY ENCOURAGING
Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what ire
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat we'll they
work well, too.
Here's a good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them, plenty
of Quaker Oats. A big dish of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for a man who needs
vigor and strength for a long days
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive fa-
tigue. There is a sustaining quality
in Quaker Oats not found in other
foods, and for economy it is at the
head of the list. Besides the regular
size packages Quaker Oats is packed
in large size family packages, with
and without china. 5

1t is almost if not quite as nara now W ini"S
inc what the world meant before the age VI
steam as it is TO think out what Will be It's mean-
ing in the age of the perfected airshlp and aero
plane Every contrast possible in the St Louis
centennial week of pageants is challenge to
look backward and forward in the attempt to
find out what hundred years already mean, as
the first success in the attempt to lind what IL is
to mean shortly for this generation and for the
grandchildren of this generation in 2OO9.
The makers of the centennial week program
keenly alive to the opportunities Tor spec
tacular effect suggested by the most striking
events of the worlds progress. The aeronautlc
events such balloon races, aeroplane and dlrl-
gibe balloon contests suggest the future posi-
bilitieS of transportation in contrast with those
of 1909. For comparison with automobiles and
aeroplanes the bateau of Laclede's day, with it's
stumpy mast. it's cordelle and its sweeps is an
educational feature of the water pageant, which
includes crafts of all the kinds which ply the
waters of the Mississippi. The Yelled Prophets
pageant, unique and picturesque is another fea-
ture which is full of romantic interest. The edu-
cational parade, the parade representing 5000 of
ST. Louis industries, the procession Of a thou
sand MAYORS and the other events which find
place on the program all suggest that a great
week for st. Louis its centennial week is still
greater, as it belongs to a hundred years of his
torymaking for the continental United States.

two decades of steamboatng gave it 16,469 in 1S4o
About that time it began it's great transcontinenta
work with the prairie schooner" reinforcing the
steamboat in overland transit. With the trans
continental overland movement, to Oregon as well
California growing, in 1850 it had 1850 people
and was beginning it's work as the first pioneer OF
railroads to the Pacific. After bringing the first
locomotive west of the Mississippi in 1852, it more
than doubled it's population in that decade, reach
ing 185,5S7 in 1860. With the foundations of the
states west of the river already laid along its
first trade routes in 1860, it advanced in the next
two decades to 350552 people. Chicago was pass
ing it in population then, without being able to
take from it it's historical place the "irst great
city of the west the pioneer and founder Of the
west of the present Since 1880 it has doubled its
population once more, advancing from 100000 to
900. At it's present rate of increase, re-
sponsive to that of the Mississippi valley ST. Louis
is doubling business in little over 10 years It's
bank clearings increased from 1922 100000 in 1869
to $3074, 600 900 in 1908 It's tonnage of merchan-
disc received and forwarded 20,162,000 tons

resources reported June 49, 1909 at $685., 1881 900,
than double the total of the tenth year back.
Such figures illustrate much than local
progress They are mid-contnental before they
become local. in the sense that the people Of the
whole area between the Allegheny and Rocky
mountains are now eXerting energies and util-
izng new forces of growth, unforeseen as
late as 10 years ago. AS the percentages Of this
growth of course greatest west Of the Msss-
sppi river st. Louis has almost made itself over
in Is years in growing up to the growth Of
the country. Since it began work for the world
fair, celebrating the Louisiana purchase, it has
learned to look back itself in the last decade Of
the nineteenth century as "old ST. Louis" In
looking back to the older st. Louis of 1909 it
boast that frontier outpost it led the progress
Of the continental United States. In looking for
ward in its centennial year. it that the
greatest results of the history it has made are only
the beginnings of greater results, which belong to
the immediate future of the continental United
States whose progress makes the frontier town of
1909 the midcontinental city of 1909
