Fair Managers to Meet.

Some two years ago . little assocla'
tion of the heads of the various local fair
organizations in the State was organ.
lied, which was named the MISSISSIPPI
pi Association of Fair Managers, of
which Hon. II. E. Blakeslee, commission
er of agriculture of Mississippi, and the
then secretary and manager of the Mis-
sissippi Industrial Exposition, was made
president, and Dave Wolerstein of the
YazoO Fair Association was elected Sec
rotary. The attendance was rather
small, and only a nominal organization
was effected; and now, since the fair
| spirit and enterprise has developed SO
strongly, it is thought that this is as
good a time as any to take steps to or
ganize a systematic basis. There has
been al increased number of fairs and
fair associations recently, which it is
believed would render it advisable to
create two distinct circuits, as the best
way to prevent any serious conflict in
dates. In order to accomplish something
definite, it is suggested that a general
experience meeting might prove of ben.
eft, and along this line President Blakes-
lee has written to all the organized fair
arrangements in the State and has sug-
gested that a general meeting for this
purpose be held about the first or sec.
ond week in May.

Genuine Oil Discovered.

That a genuine discovery of a new oil
field has been made in Mississippi is
the confident belief of residents in the
neighborhood of Heidelberg, in Jasper
county, where Kerosene has been found
in such quantities floating about on the
surface of the ground, that it has been
damned up, and sufficient of the oleag-
nous substance has been gathered up to
supply the basis of analysis. Confidence
in the field is strengthened by the fact
that it is in a part of the country that
has for years been suspected of possess
ing a wealth of oil and where numerous
experimental wells nave been sunk in
the hope of locating the exact situation
of the deposits. Heretofore these wells
have produced nothing but hope and as
surance, but the experiments have never
been abandoned, and at Barnett, only a
few miles from Heidelberg, there is now
in process of formation a new company
to further enlarge the wells already
sunk there.

Mystery May Be Cleared.

The Indictment by the grand jury Of
Sunfowcr county of three white mer
and a negro for the murder near Indian
ola a few months ago of Brad Bradley
a prominent planter, may soon result in
the clearing up of a mystery which has
remained unsolved since the assassina'
ton, and for which crime the negro has
been in Jail ever since.
At the time it was the general impress
sion that white men were implicated in
the affair, although no arrests of white
men were made, and it was thought for
a time that five or six negro suspects
were in danger of lynching before the
suspicious centered on the whites.

Cumberland Fined So, 500.

The custer suit of the State of Missis-
sippi against the Cumberland Telephone
and Telegraph Company was called for
trial before Judge Buckley in the Lau-
derdale county circuit court. A demur-
rer filed by the defendant company, con-
tending that Lauderdale county had no
jurisdiction to try the case, was argued
by Acknowledgement Stirling and oppos-
ing counsel. Judge Buckley overruled
the demurrer and ordered the case to
proceed.
The testimony tended to show that
four years ago the Meridian company
was merged into the Cumberland system,
although the defendants set up that the
Meridian company at the time was prac-
tically defunct and the transaction. was
prior to the passage of the Mississippi
antitrust law. Judge Buckley gave the
jury peremptory instructions to find for
the State, and he assessed a fine of 81
500.

Quite the Contrary.

Punishment for not selling whisky is
the latest phase of criminal procedure in
Natchez, where a negro named Alfred
James has been given two Jail sentences
of three months each and two fines ag-
gregating $3.50 by a justice of the peace.
The negro would have been all right
had he sold whisky. The trouble was
that he sold wrapped bottles, similar to
those usually containing whisky, and
customers who bought these bottles in
the firm belief that they did contain
whisky were so disappointed when they
learned there was nothing but water in
them that they prosecuted him for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.

that upon his return from the supreme
bench early in May, Associate Justice
Fletcher, who is now filling the unex-
PRED term of the late Justice Calhoun,

profession in Jackson.

that the fiavors agree. Or there MAY
be a few berries; cut up an orange
and exc out the amount, always put

pour enough fruit juice to soften the

BATHS RENEW LIFE
BEST KINDS TO REFRESH ONE IN
sULTRY WEATHER.
Lemon Juice, Witch Hazel, Sea Salt,
Lavender Water and Cologne All
Good-Try Creoiin for Mo-
squito Bites.

There is nothing more refreshing
these hot days than bath, either hot
or cold. The former in very hot
water is more cooling than the cold
plunge, which acts as too much of a
tonic.
Baths are not equally refreshing.
Plain soap and water are all right for
cleanliness, but when bath is intend
ed to put new life into us, when half
dead with heat, it is well to choose
some of the medicated ones, whose
tonic values we're well known to the
ancients.
If nbthing better offers try lemon
bath. This is much in favor with Gu
bans and deserves to be better known.
Squeeze the juice of two lemons into
a bath of hot water. When it has
cooled sufficiently it will be found
wonderfully refreshing.
Witch hazel baths are cooling and
refreshing, particularly If one is
troubled with prickly heat, mosquito
bites, or stiff joints Pour in goodly
supply just before stepping into the
the gallon or larger quantities much
more cheaply than by retail.
| Sea salt has all the value of dip
in the ocean If used in ones own tub
1t can be bought by the package and
should be dissolved several hours be
fore bathing. This can be done either
by soaking the salt in a pitcher or by
drawing the bath and putting it di.
rectly in that.
If one suffers from mosquito bites
or hives try bath in which a little
creolin or carbolic acid has been dis
solved. The itching is quickly al
layed. Care must be taken not to
have the solution too strong. Boracio
acid is also excellent used in the same
way.
For purely refreshing baths have IL
the bathroom toilet water, lavendei
water or a good cologne. These
sprinkled literally in the bath on
hot day will make you feel like new
being.
Many different kinds of bath pow
ders are now sold. Some of these
have decidedly tonic effects and are
worth all the money expended OF
them in refreshing effects. They cos
much less than people imagine. as tht
