Isn't it high time that we had the pro-
gram of the beat one fair to be held here
this fall? Let no man or woman that
can exhibit something, fail to have that
something ready to bring in at the proper
time. 1t is immateriaI what you pay
have, so it be something you feel special
pride in, and that will be sample for
others who are not up in raising good
and useful stuff or animals. Don't for
get your beat fair by any means. The
program and list of awards will be- ready
in good time. The committee having this
matter in charge are Jealous people and
will do their duty.
1t is high time the county fair people
are moving something on this line, that
we may know what's what
Here's for you. A couple were taking
ride, and acquiring too, in buggy
in New York Just as the swain had ia
ken the dimpled hand of his love in his
and had put the all important "Will
you?" an automobile struck the rear of
the buggy and sent the twain whirling
heavenward. But they came down and
lay stunned side by side. Just as the
good doctor who ran to their help had
brought her to consciousness she turned
her smiling face towards him by her side,
placed a soft hand on his hurried head and
sweetly murmured: eyes, DEAR" Evil
IDENTIFY love laughs at severe jolts as well
as locks.
Secret service agents of the government
have discovered that gold is being shaken
from United States coins by placing the
gold money in burlap bags and shaking
Them In this way gold fakes and parti-
ally cling to the bag, the bag burned and
the dust melted into tiny ingots. The dis
covery at the treasury of badly marred
gold coins led to an investigation by
which the process was revealed
On December 8, 1910, Alma Keller, 9
or 10 years of age, mysteriously disap-
peared from her home in Louisville, KY.
Search for her was made in every con-
ceivable place of concealment. She had
left home to attend Sunday school or some
religious exercise, when she disappeared.
On May go, a plumber digging beneath
the school room Of ST Johns church,
found her horribly mutilated remains
The janitor, Joseph Vending left his
place as janitor of the church on January
"a. Suspicion fell on him as her de-
stroyer when her remains were found,
prehend him, and finally on July go, an
officer captured him in San Francisco, CAL,
after 1900 miles chase after him, and
100000 reward offered for his appre
hension and conviction. He will be
brought back to Kentucky right away to
stand trial for his life, if he is not de-
stroyed by an angry mob, for circum-
stances all point to him as the guilty
culprit, although he denies it, of course.
Some of our older citizens perhaps re-
member something of the earlier days
of Jackson, Miss. When the gas works
were first constructed for lighting the
city. One day last week the Jackson Gas
Company laid new gas pipe, and unearth
ing some of the old piping which was of
wood and in fine state of preservation.
This wood piping was laid fifty or more
years ago and it now attracts curious peo-
pies attention. Ii was hewed from oak,
scooped out and two pitces placed to-
gether so as to form tube. Jackson
was a small town at that time, bui it has
now grown to a progressive city of $4,000
people, who now use gas carried through
iron pipes, and electric lights carried by
wire To illustrate the convenlences city
people who are able enjoy, we will men
ton that we have friend living in that
city, former Rankin boy, who by en-
ergy, industry and thrift, has built him
a nice two-story house, and does not have
to put his foot on the ground to get any
needed household article except coal. He
keeps that in the yard His family cooks
with gas, irons clothes and light up the
house with piping, and ice and
any groceries and vegetable purchased
are delivered right at his door. The coal
is used only for heating the rooms OF the
home. When this man wens to Jackson
to live he was poor boy, but he sus-

and politeness toward everybody, and a
