Neigh, Neb,, Oct. 24.-Special to
The News: The best football game
this season was played Saturday af-
ternoon at the Riverside park field be-
tween the high schools of Neigh and

were decidedly the larger of the two

ten pounds to the man, the Neigh

quarter had the ball in Atkinson's ter
ritory continually.
Atkinson started the game by slug

visitors this was done at intervals
throughout the game, but was of a
lesser degree and the penalty not i'm
posed. The first and second quarters

After five minutes of play in the third
quarter Neigh secured a touchdown

Document PRESENTED
RY Influential men
Messrs. II. A. Camp and J. D. Donald
Impress Be I'd of Supervisors With
Great importance of Such an lnsti-
tuition.

The petition of citizens asking the
board of supervisors to create a de-
partment of agriculture for Forrest
county, authority for which is conferr-
ed by an act of the legislature of
1908, was presented to the board to-
day by Messrs. H. A. Camp and DR..
J. D. Donald, and a forcible argument
urging favorable action was made by
Mr.. Camp.
While it was not intended in the be-
ginning to solicit large number of
signatures to the petition, every tax
payer who has seen it has signed and
has requested others to sign, and
when presented to the board today, it
contained the signatures of majority
of the taxpayers of the city. The pc
tition has not been circulated, but was
left at Hays & Fields drug store, and
those who signed it did so voluntarily
1t is believed that if an effort had been
made, several hundred signatures
could have been secured.
At the time of going to press the
board of supervisors had not taker
any action on the matter, but from the
| favorable way in which the petition
was received Ey them the belief il
warranted that the request will b'
granted. If such is the case, it will
then be up to the board to appoint
commissioner of agriculture, and it i
probable that applications for this pc
sition will be asked for immediatel.
and received at the next session o
/ the board.

fairs.

The mention by many Of his friends
OF the name of George Hartfield in
connection with the office of commits
sioner OF Hattiesburg under the new
arrangement has apparently met with
universal Endorsement by the citizens
OF this city, and strong effort will
be made to induce Mr.. fairfield to
become a candidate at the next mu-
nici pai election.
There is perhaps not another citi-
zen in Hattiesburg, or Forrest county,
who enjoys the friendship, respect and
esteem CT q larger number of its citi-
zens than does George Hartfield. He
was here before Hattiesburg was, and
has been identified with every move
ment which had for it's object the i'm
provement of conditions affecting this
community, and, being a lawyer of
recognized ability, it has been sug-
gested that for the reasons mentioned
there is perhaps not another citizen
of Hattiesburg who is better qualified,
from every standpoint, to discharge
the duties of this new office with more
general satisfaction to the whole peo-
ple.

DISEASE NOT confined
To ANY One SECTION
And in Many Instances is Said To Be
of a Serious Nature.-Young People
Mostly Affected, But by no Means
Exclusively.

Repeatedly during the past several
days the attention of The News has
been called to the general prevalence
of measles in Hattiesburg, but moth
ing has been said in these columns
for the reason that hopes were enter
tanned that the disease might be
speedily checked and confined to a
comparatively small territory.
During the past few days, however,
citizens have been more insistent m
their demands that something should
be done towards relieving the situa-
tion and preventing the disease be-
coming infectious. One physician
stated yesterday afternoon that the
condition had gotten to the point
where it was little short of alarm
ing, and that almost every section OF
the city had its share of the malady
1t has been stated that in many in
stances the disease has been spread
over the city by school children, who
attended school during the early
stages of the malady and had com
munieated it to other scholars, and il
has been suggested that the health
| authorities make thorough investi
cation of the matter, and, if neces
sary, close the schools until the di
sease can be checked.
Generally speaking, the measles il
not considered serious disease, bu
when it becomes complicated will
pneumonia or other affections it il
often fatal in its results, and it il
for this reason that the people ar
apprehensice of the consequences o
an epidemic.
