The question is-shall we step
forward or backward?
The article on the front page of
this paper anent the cattle tick,
taken from the Southern Farm
Gazette, speaks the truth in regard
to Oktibbeha county, and is equal
~ applicable to NOxubee.
We judge from the article that
Oktibbeha county is somewhat
like the darkie who refused to earn
a dollar by saving wood because
he would dull his saw and would
have to pay a dime to have it
sharpened.
We feel it would be a miSfOr-
tune if we with our extensive
belts of black land and good pas
lures fail to take advantage of
this unusual combination of State
and National aid. If we refuse it
Uncle Sam will not soon again
smile on US, because it will be
proof that we dOnot appreciate
what is best for our interests.
Our county is better adapted
for forage and alfalfa than Oktib-
beha. Soil Scientist II. G. Smith,
when asked, informed us that Ok
tibbeha county had but sixteen
square miles of black land. Men
well informed tell us that NOxu-
bee has much more than that, be-
sides hundreds of square miles of
good pasture.
If we neglect, or reject this Of
fer for aid the result will be worse
for us than for counties not so
we'll adapted for stock raising.
The government expert tell us
we have the soil, climate, water
and natural adaptation for cattle
raising. We lack the great es-
sential-cattle.
Therefore, let us sacrifice tenn
porary inconvenience for future
gain. The boil wevlll will come,
we cannot stop it. We can stop
the tick, and raise good cattle.
Mr.. Farmer which is it a step for
ward or backward?

Some Relief in Sight.

The cost of living has been an impor-
tant problem to every household in the
country during the past year or two,
and everybody is on the lookout for the
earliest symptoms of declining prices.
That prices have been declining of late
is we'll established, and although the
householder may not vet see the results
appreciably in his expense bill, he is
sure to notice them shortly. Already
it is admitted that the bakers in New
York have increased the size of loaf of
bread and the price of all forms of pork
and many other commodities.
While beef prices still hold up, the
fact that pork, poultry, bread and all
forms of grain r lower will compel
before long a lowering of beef price as
we'll, otherwise the consumption of
beef will fall off to such an extent that
the packers will have to cut prices to
move it. Now that the downward trend
of prices of food products has set in it
can be expected to continue until some
thing like normal conditions are restor-
ed.
Taking prices at the end of April. the
New York Journal of Commerce shows
that No 2 red wheat is 35 cents a BUSH
ell less than in June of last year; flour
is ST. 80 to 81. 60 barrel less than at the
same date; corn is down 2112c a bushel;
mess pork is So. rs a barrel less than
last March; Western cremery butter is
8 cents lower than in December; eggs
are 10 1-3c a dozen less than in January
bleached shiriting and brown sheeting
are off a cent a yard; taffeta silks are
10 cents lower than last November; fine
territory wool is 9 cents lower than dur
ing the latter part of last year; pig iron
is So a ton less than in January, bacon
and pork lOin are 2 cents, and ham l y
cents less than the maximum of last
month.-Picayune.

Crop Prospects.

In last weeks paper mention of
the Oat and other minor crops was
omitted. Since then it has been
learned that this years oat crop
deserves especial notice. From
every section of Noxubee reports
mention a phenomenal Oat crop.
One ear heard from measured
three feet from where the grain
commenced to where it ended. A
gentleman from the northern Oat
section said that several fields he
saw here would realize IS bush
els to the acre. Special mention
is made to the oat fields of Messrs
Barnhill, Ekins, Conner, Pagan
and Adams. There may be 9th
ers equally as fine which have not
been brought to our notice.
Mr.. J. B. Cunningham has a
wheat field certain to yield 80
bushels to the acre..
Considering the price of oats
and wheat and the cost of Guilt
walton, there is money in such
crops. If the boil weevil ruins
NOxubee it will be NOxubee's
fault.

Woodmen Should Consider.

The picnic at Riverside Park, near
McComb City, by Camp No. 264,
was not only, if the published proceed
ings correct report, the result, a discred-
it to the Woodmen of that Camp, which
should cause the forfeit of the charter,
but it is a discredit to the whole origin
~ization, if it be allowed to pass unrebuk-
ed.
The Woodmen is agrowing order. an
order which includes noble and benev-
olent principle, truth and up Brightness
and altogether prohibit any connection
with politics. The picnic it seems was
widely advertised for the purpose of
makingit financial success and was turn
ed over to politics of the lower type.
Among the advertised attractions
was, is repoted, Senator Bilbo, the
LIAR" the star of the occasion, who
made good his past reputation. Not
only was he given full swing to his
well known propensity, but the Hon. G.
H. Afford, the legislator from that
county, vas denied the right to challenge
Bilbo's statement to expose his venom
and mendacity.
The Governor and the Legislature OF
the State were coarsely and vuIgarly
beslimed by Bilbo, as he was carried

RAKE CHICAGO FOR MRS. SIMS
Rolling Fork, Miss, Widow Miss ing
In Big City.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 3O.-The
search for Mrs. Corinne Sens, a
widow, of Rolling Fork, Miss.
who is believed by relatives to be
dying in Chicago, today included
all the hospitals. Morgues were
also visited by detectives. r.. c..
Patty and his wife of Mocon,
Miss, brother-in-1aw and sister OF
the missing woman, Joined in the
quest.
At the time Mrs. Sims disap-
peared from the home of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. III. j. Powell,
in Rolling Fork, she had in her
trunk more than $500 in money,
valuable jewelry and silverware.
She told her parents she would
take a trip for her health, locomo-
tor ataxia having followed a ner-
vOus breakdown after the death,
several years ago, of her husband,
T. e. Sims, a wealthy farme.
A month late the parents re
ceived a letter bearing marks
showing it had been mailed at the
Armour postal subStatiOn in Chi
cago. The writing was barely
legible and the letter was ramb-
ling, but enough was dnciphered
to show that the writer was near
death. Her Chicago address,
however, was not included.
The father of the woman imme-
diately wrote to a detective bu-
reau and the hunt started. MIR.
and Mrs. Patty came from their
Mississippi home to aid in the
search, but they say they found
Chicago "cold and uninterested."
eve have been frozen by Chi
cago's hospitality" Mrs. Patty
said. eve find the large city is
too busy with it's own affairs to
pay much attention to our hunt
for our sister. Our questions
have been answered with an air
which indicated Go away and
don't bother. Can't you see We
are busy?'"
What became of Mrs. Sims is
a mystery that has puzzled the
police. In her weakened cOndi-
ton it is feared by some of the
detectives that she was robbed
and kept prisoner in some place.

From time to time since the
memory of the Beacon the best
farmers Of Noxubee county have
had a constant note of discon-
tent concerning their inability to
obtain the best prices for their
beef cattle. Blame has been
attached to outside meat pack
ers for refusing to pay as high
prices for our cattle as were paid
Iowa or western fed steers, now
Mr.. Farmer to tell you the plain
gospel truth, and nothing but
the truth, the fault is not in the
meat packers but in your cattle
and you. As the Beacon has
said before, we can raise as
good cattle as any one on earth,
and if we do we will get top pri-
ces for them. The reason is our
breeds at present are not the
best, and if they were, the
quality would not be up to the
western standards. The main
trouble is found in a word of
four letterS-tick. The fact
that ticks have been here since
you can remember does not make
them less dangerous. New Or
leans is the only market to
which our cattle can be shipped
unless guaranteed before going
to St. Louis.
Il get $1,000 or SIS. 90 for my
cows, my steers bring higher
prices than ever" says a farm
err. This brings us to the ques-
ton, what are good prices? Mr.
Farmer did you ever sell a COW
for $4,000 or a steer for $35.O 90
to $500? If not there are
thousands of farmers in counties
where there are no ticks who
get the above prices every year.
If Noxubee county rids itself
of the tick what will be the re-
suit? We will get better prices
for our cattle. We will improve
those we already have. There
r many stock and dairy men in
the county now, who would
gladly bring in pedigreed stock
if it were not for the tick.
Northern farmers are coming to
us each year and we welcome
them, but there are many who
do not locate here because they
realize the danger of the tick.

on the great question: DO you
want to vote at all elections on an
equality with mem"
Presented herewith is ballot

For the first time in 25 years the

shall enable women to vote.
Do the women of Spokane want
congress to pass such a resolution?
Those who do will put cross in

THE STORY Of A
GREAT FORTUNE WON
IN CRIMSON SHAME
Mrs. Bruno, Wife of Former Red
light King Asks for a
Divorce.

The story Of big fortune won.
but of price paid in it's winning so
terrible that strong men must shud-
der who contemplate il, is revealed
in divorce complaint and affidavit
filed in the Spokane county super
ior court this morning. Frank
Bruno accumulated $4,000 of the
worlds goods, but the eight inro-
cent children of Frank Bruno must
60 through this life biehted by the
crimson sins of their father, who
collected his gold through his own
degradation and infamy. according
to the allegations Of the wife and
mother. To eight little ones,
marked since their birth by one Of
the foulest. most horrible scourges
Of mankind, their father viii ever
be all that is repulsive, degraded
and wicket, though he may have
collected more than his share of
this worlds goods.
Bruno is the notorious ex-dive
Keeper Of Spokane. Mrs, Philomena
Bruno was shot by man named Ro-
landi. April s. while on her way to
court to defend herself against a
statutory charge brought by her
husband. She is now asking the
courts to grant her an absolute de-
cree of divorce and she lays bare
the story of her life and that of her
husband in her complaint filed to-
day. She asks for $1,000 a month
alimony. $4,000 attorneys fees and
$500 suit money, alleging her hus-
bands fortune to be worth s150,000
in property here and at Pasco.
Married here in 1895. the Brunos
returned to Italy year ago, where,
1t is alleged by the woman. she and
the children. ranging from five
months to IS years of age, were
abandoned by Bruno. Though able
TO return to America herself on Dor
rowed money, Mrs. Bruno says four
of the children could not pass the
United States government immigra-
ton inspection-they had been af-
flicted since birth with a disease
transmitted to them by their father,
and must remain in Italy.
According to the womans COM
plant she has fought ever since
her marriage to keep from the life
of shame her husband wished her to
lead for his profit Bruno. as is
well known, took leases on consid-
cradle property in Sno1'nre which
he rented to public characters.

TOUCHES On

plan of government, the labor I'M

sive and interesting review of the
situation. There was no action
taken by the association at the
