under his supervision and | ask
my friends of Iuka as patrons, pu-
pills and citizens to give him your
most cordial support. | can say
to him that he never had, nor ev-
er will have a body of trustees
more loyal to him. ] worked for
them for four, short, pleasant
years and if there ever was an un-

the best people he ever met. |

were SO good and kind to her.
We shall ever look back to the
four years we spent at luka with
pleasure.
We thus publicly thank every
one who contributed to our sue

The prohibition laws of Ala
bama have been carefully revised
and made up to date and an cleo
tion will be held on the question
of engrafting prohibition in the
state constitution. The Tuscum-
bia Dispatch favors the adoption
of this constitutional amendment
and its course should entitle it to
commendation of the public. We
notice also that the Moulton Ad-
vertiser advocates its adoption
1t will be a great thing for the
state if the amendment should
carry and settle the whisky ques-
ton and settle it right fol all time
to come.

from Corinth and after it arrived
we wended our way to Montgom-

already in opera ton and in vigor-

stands in the park, one wheel of

one refreshment stand out of the
park, divided from it by wire
fence and located on the r r right
of-way, run by H. L. Moser, of
this place. The wire fence had
been constructed by the corpora

crawling through it, one young
man was arrested, held in custo-

What promised at one time TO ere

down but the fierce competition
between the drinkstands contin-
ued, intensified by believing meg

making instruments. Meantime
on the local diamond, just north
of the park, the Indian Springs
and Leedy mines proceeded to cross
bats in a vigorous contest for su-
premacy, but a disagreement arose
and the game was not fnished
In the afternoon, on the same
diamond, Holcut and Burnsville
played game which resulted in
a score of 10 to 4 in favor of Hol-
cut. People continued to come
in and swell the crowd. AT |
O'Clock p. m. the trains from Iuka
and from Corinth brought in a
considerable number of visitors.
On the Corinth train came Prof.

Tishomingo High School, who de-
livered IN able address on the
Farmer. The Farmers Union and
kindred topics to the edifcation of
the large audience. AS long as
we remained on the grounds there
was no indication of drinking on
the part of any person who came
under our observation. Deputy
Sheriff Woodley reports the arrest
OF one man for lunkenness late
in the afternoon. On the whole
the behavior of the large crowd
was exceedingly good and reflect

met many friends and added sew

Shall We Have An Agricultural
High School.

We have not abandoned the
idea of an aricuiturdl high school.
Some may think SO because but
little has been said about it re-
Gently but we are keeping the
thing in view and are shaping
things to that end The impor-
tance of a course of instruction in
agriculture for the young men of
Tishomingo cannot be overestimat
ed. Ours is an agricultural county
and there is great need of educa-
ton that we may make the most
of our resources and increase the
output of our farms. No other
method of reaching young men
who are to become the farmers of
the future can compare with a
county agricultural high school,
located at the county site. Easy
of access, healthful surroundings
and a good, moral atmosphere,
cheap living and many other adj
vantages render Iuka an ideal To-
cation for a school of this kind.
We are building a magnificent
structure to, be its home, we have
secured all the land necessary.
We have a building that can
quickly be converted into DOR
mitory. There are some defects
in the present law but we feel
sure these will be rectified at the
next meeting of the legislature
and the amount of bonus from the
state increased to 81. 500, besides
changing the law in such way as
to make it constitution al. 1t is
especially to the interest of the
farmers of this county to work for
the successful eSta bllShment OF
such school and they will do SO
when they come to thoroughly
understand what advantages it
offers to their Observation-Disclosures
that they themselves never had but
which now are necessary as never
before. When all other classes
and professions are availing them
selves of every discovery and inn
/ proveme mt in order that they may
wage more successfully the siren
nous struggle for supremacy, the
i farmer cannot afford TO sit idly by
and let the door Of opportunity be
closed.

Fire In North Iula.

lust before 8 O. clock Saturday
night the alarm of fire was given.
Pistols were fired, balls rung aud

nothing of hum IN cries. There
was running in hot haste to the
scene of the contlagration, which
proved to be confined to single
story cabin occupied by Mr.. 5. w.
Shockley's cook. The cook had
not returned from her culinary du-
ties but had left three of her four
children in the cabin. These play
ing with matches started the fire
which was under too great head
way to be checked when discover

own creation; one had the side of
his head scorched. By prompt ac-
ton of the volunteer BUCKET brig :
ade the fire was prevented from
spreading to any adjoining build

Who is at the head of this gov

simple question; w. H. Taft is
president and consequently the
head. That is true theoretically,
but practically the government is
controlled by Aldrich and Cannon.
No legislation can be had without
their consent. in fact they die
tate all legislation. We hear that
in the next congress they will
take up the financial question and
make such changes in the laws as
they may deem proper.

evening. Camps from the follow
ing towns were present, Salem,
Arago. Preston, Humboldt. Stella,
Dawson. Nerdon. Rulo and Shit
bert. Eighty five members we're
initiated on this occasion and the
initiatory work was put on by the
drill team of Reserve. Their
work was fine and the camp
should feel proud of their team
and the interest each member
takes in it.
For several weeks the members
of the NJ. w. \. oil Richardson
county have been working hard
to see what kind of a showing
they could make on this occasion.
Salem has the distinguished hon
or of securing more candidates
for initiation than any other
lodge in the county.
V. @. Lyford of this city gave
a splendid welcome address which
was responded to by State Deputy
Kester who presided over t h e
meeting as Venerable Counsel.
Music was furnished by the
Junior Orchestra and was greatly
appreciated by all.
About 900 members of this no

Mr.. Clark had been brought here
by the City Federation of Wo

efforts of this organization S mem
bers that he was greeted by Il
large crowd. Every person in
the audience enjoyed the reading
from the first. for the Professor
entered into 1t with an enthust-
aSm and earneStness which holds
his hearers III rapt int teres t
throughout. He is equipped with
a splendid voice capa BILE of modu~

sonality and an intelligence which
interprets the finer shades of
meaning in the lines spoken. The
sweet, winsome, childish charac.

as much truth as the worldly
contemplate Bishop of Lanca-

summed up in these words, u
love God and ali my brothers"
Those who were fortunate
enough to hear Prof. Clark con-
slider the evening we'll spent, and
much credit is due the enterpris"

An Excellent Sale

One of the best sales we have
reported fog many years is that Of
Elmer Hoselton held at Preston
Monday. The stock sale amount
ed to $500. \ fine display of
prosperity was shown by the buy
ers as all the receipts were cash
except about Sl30. One man gave
his personal check for $4,000, as
the cattle he bought amounted to
that,
Col. Marion was the auctioneer
and much of the credit of this re-
markable sale is due him. Mr..
Hoselton is a business man in ev-
cry sence of the word and the way
he tranacts all business is pleasing
to all. Every one knows him and
can depend on what he tells them
to be true and this no doubt ac.
counts for the splendid results.

fire At JOHN STOCKTON'S
MOST OF THE FURNITURE AND
CARPETS WERE SAVED
John Stockton's House in the East
Part of Town Was Badly
Damaged by Fire

The home of John Stockton
III the east part Of town, Wednes-
day morning was the scene of
one of the worst fires this city
has had for some time. The fam
ily had only been up a short time
when Clara went out of doors and
on returning told her parents she
believed the house was on fire.
They looked, but failed to find a
blaze, but on going up stairs
found the roof to be on FIRE
The fire department was called
aud in a short time the fire was
eXtinguished The second story
of the house was nearly all burned
and the water ran through and
ruined the plaster and all the
lower rooms. The furniture was
all saved with very few scratches
and rugs were all taken out.
1t is a big loss for them. The
house was insured for 81, 500. The
family were unable to find house
to move III, so they will store their
goods and stay at the home OF
Mrs. Margaret Maddox until the
house can be rebuilt, plastered
and papered.
The origin of the fire is not
known, but it is supposed that it
was caused from a defective flue.
Many, who helped fight the
fire say there is no comparison in
the pressure of the new water
plant to that of the old one. This
fact makes it encouraging to the
fire boys who have always been
willing but had nothing to work
with For several years the
power has not been sufficient to
extinguish a blaze of any conse-

Broke His Limb

Jesse Harris of Shubert who was
hurt in a runaway in this city sew
eral weeks ago had recoved and
was able to 90 to Peru on erutches
and again entered school. But
was so unfortunate to fall while
ascending flight of stairs and
broke the limb in the same place.
He was a member of the senior
class at Peru and the accident at
this time of the school year is a
great disappointment to him, as 1t
is doubtful now whether or not he
will be able to finish with his class.
