WATTERSON, HIS
CHILDREN DEAD,
RECOMESRECLUSE
Famous Editor and Orator Will
Never Speak in Public
Again, He Says.

TAMPA, Fla, Feb. s.-In a letter de-
Ginning to take part in the banquet here
for William Jennings Bryan, Henry
Watterson declared that he would
never again appear in public.
"The death of a dearly loved daugh-
ter. followed by the appalling tragedy
which took from me a son who was the
very apple of my eye, leaves me
stranded and helpless and wholly IN
equal to any kind of publicity. Before
I left home I ca 1celled all of my speak
ing dates and resolved never again to
appear before any audience
This vas a portion OF the letter.
Mr.. Bryan was visibly affected by the
letter and made a touching reference to
the incident In his after-dinner speech.
Mr.. Watterson is now at his winter
home, at Naples, on the gulf, near Fort
Meyers, Fla.
w. j. Bryan vas the principal speak,
err at the laying of the cornerstone of
the Young Mems Christian Association
building yesterday.

SUFFOLK EARL'S KIN
TO LOSE FOUR TOES.

NEW YORK. Feb. e.-when the
Hon.. James K. E. Howard. brother Of
the Earl of Suffolk, was told yesterday
at the Waldorf-Astoria that two toes
on each of his feet would have to be
amputated he almost yelled with Joy.
This joy was expressed because physi-
clans had feared they would have to
amputate both feet instead of the toes,
and the Englishman has lived in dread
of this for weeks. His feet were
frozen while hunting recently in British
Columbia.

to nothing in the way of cutting
down the production Of cotton,
and it seems that this condition
will always continue. It present
indications are carried out, there
will be more cotton planted this
year than last and a fifteen mil
lion bale crop is among the prob
abilities.
We see but little disposition
among the people to produce the
necessaries Of life at home. Oc-
casionally you run across hog
and hominy farmer, but they are
very rare in this section. When
you find one you will find a man
who is able to furnish his cotton
planting neighbor with what
money he needs at ten per cent,
a little bacon at fifteen cents, per
pound, and some corn at a dollar
a bushel, but the trouble is "old
hog and hominy" never has
enough to supply the. demand

Beyond Their Reach

Sherman's march through
Georgia to the sea has become
mere history now, and the tinge
of bitterness has faded out from
those little personal episodes
which our mothers and grand
mothers used to relate with so
much feeling. Yet the flavor
of humor in some of the stories
can never be wholly lost says
Brooklyn Life. ;"
In our own family they tell to
this day how an uncle of mine,
then a quaint child of five years,
solved the problem of the house
hold migration to some safe spot
when the invading army was
known to be marching straight
down toward the beautiful plan
tation home.
A hasty and anxious council
of women, boys and decrepit
graybeards had been called in
grandmother's big sitting room.
Immediate flight was to be
made by this helpless group, but
the burning question was, with
err? Place after place was pro-
posed, and rejected. Aunt Kate. S
was too far; they could never
reach it with their insufficient
teams. Cousin Dora's was too
near; the Yankee" soldiery
might reach out long arms and
capture all together. Grandaunt
Drue,s was in the possible line
of march. And so it went with
every place proposition.
When finally a moment of de-
spairful silence had settled upon
the little conclave, the piping of
a small voice was heard that of
the curly hea1ed 10y. the pet of
all, who had crept in, unnoticed,
and listened to the anxious coun
selling. He was saying with
such an air Of absolute decision
as encouraged every body present
Lets all go to Gods; they
won't be no Yankees there!'
The Tupelo journal. (Tupelo, Miss.) 1876-1924, 1909-03-26
CIVIC IMPROVEMENT

With the advent of spring each
citizen should look around and see
what his place of business or his
home needs in the way of i'm
provment to make them compare
with the more genteel appearance
of his enterprising neighbor.
Every one should feel an indiyid-
ual pride in the general appear
ance Of his town, and should
lend his aid to improve and liven
the appearance of the property
around him.
Each individual should feel
that this is a duty not only to
himself and family, but to the
people at large who go to make
up the town. AS one feels a
pride in his home, he should also
feel a corresponding pride in his
town. The house should be paint
ed where the purse will admit,
