to shut her up in dark closet-in that
family the direst punishment for the
worst offense. For fifteen minutes the
door had been locked without "A sound

could see nothing.

these. ceremonies have been complet-
ed they will repair to the Fair Ground,
distance of about three quarters of a
mile.
There is no doubt that this Fair will
have attractions SURPRISING anything
of this kind ever held in the South
and the free exhibitions cannot be
given anywhere for twice the price of
admission. The promoters have work
ed to give every visitor that content
ed and satisfied feeling which will
make all desire to return again. A
new and very important feature of
this fair will be the auction sale to be
held the last two days the fair is in
progress. Each exhibitor will have
the privilege of putting his exhibit up
at auction for sale to the highest bid
der and ten per cent of the revenues
derived from this feature will be re-
funded to the fair association to COW
er the expenses thus incurred. This
will not only give every exhibitor an
opportunity to dispose of his cattle or
anything he may have on exhibition,
but will give all visitors an opportuni-
ty to secure the finest and best of
everything at a reasonable cost and 1t
is anticipated that this feature alone

especially the Coast Jubilee day an

AN AMERICAN FLEECED
In The STRAND H1TEL

London, Sept, 19.-An American
visitor staying at well-known Strand
hotel has been the victim of an in
geniously worked confidence trick by
which he has lost $4,000. In the
lounge of the hotel the visitor got
into conversation with a gentlemanly
individual in evening dress. Drinks
and smokes followed, and then the
conversation turned on horse racing.
The gentlemanly stranger, who gave
his name as "Mr. Henry Brown" men
toned incidentally that horse racing
business brought him to London from
Yorkshire. He was the intimate
friend ofaseveral owners and trainers,
and had commission to back a GER
tain horse which was certain to win
a fortune.
After some further explanation and
the exhibition of certain documents
the American expressed wish to join
in the venture. 'Mr. Brown" thought
it might be managed, and made an ap-
pointment in the city to carry out the
scheme.
The American kept the appoint
ment, and with Mr.. Brown" visited
bank in Lombard street. Here he
withdrew sum of $4,000, which he
handed over to the gentlemaanly ac-
quaintance, who went ''off to the club
to put on the money" making an ap-
pointment to meet the American at
the hotel later. Needless to say he
did not turn up, and then the police
were applied to.
A description Of "Mr. Brown" has
been circulated, together with the
numbers of some of the missing notes,
which comprise one for $500, No. 81
s41, dated January IA, 1909, and two
notes for $3.50. numbered respectively
s25,o15 and 25,O1e. and dated Febru-
airy 10, 1910. The rest Of the money
is in smaller notes and some gold.

TEDDY INVITED
TO SPEAK HERE
May Visit Harrisburg During the Big
Prosperity Celebration in octo-
Der.

Acting on the instructions of the
Speakers Committee and the Commit
tee on Arrangements, for the Prospect
ty Celebration, the secretary of the
Commercial Club has written very
pressing invitation 10 Colonel Foose-
welt, urging him if possible to include
Hattiesburg in his itinerary, when he
is in the South in October.
The work of advertising the Pros
perity Celebration will be pushed with
the accustomed vigor that has marked
all the efforts of the Commercial Club
to make such affairs a success. The
first of the week 10000 small enclos-
ures will be furnished to the business
men to send out to remind the people
of this section that the Second Annual
Prosperity Celebration is approaching.
This will be followed up by heavier
advertising that will tend to remind
all of our neighbors that they must
arrange their business so that they
can be with us to help celebrate. Hat
tiesburg Boosters will make a house
to house distribution and inaugurate
talkfest everywhere to stir up the
interest in the greatest entertainment
that has ever been attempted in the
state.
The Committee on Corn Show will
meet at the Commercial Club Monday
night to arrange the program and
prizes and it is probable that they will
offer some prizes for other products
beside corn. In fact it is hoped that
this modest effort on the part of the
Commercial Club may lead up to big
South Mississippi Fair to which the
people of the surrounding territory
are looking forward.
When the soliciting Committee calls
on you contribute literally, for the
Commercial Club needs the money to
meet the expense of securing the Nor
NAL School for one thing; every one
will admit that this is the proper time
to hold a Prosperity Celebration and
it takes money to do the thing right;
then there are prizes for the Farmers
Corn Contest and the premium list for
the corn show as we'll as the expense
of the Satte U. G. Reunion. This sub
scription list will be a Roll of Honor,
which will be published and every
cent acknowledged and surely there is
no business or professional man who
does not wish to have his name in
scribed on this roll.
Arrangements have been made to
have the school render songs on the
occasion of the unwilling and Miss
Tomson the Musical director will no
doubt have them fully prepared as she
is very enthusiastic about the matter.
John Sharp Williams will be the orator
the first day, but definite arrange
ments have not been made for the sec
ond day.
