Robert e. Lee. -

What a stupid old fellow Tom Leathers
must be,
To think he can run against "Robert
F. Lee
When Mcclellan, and Hooker and
Burnside, himself.
Each tried it, and each one was laid
on the shelf
There's a difference, you say ac-
knowledge 'tis so,
Between running yourself and running
the foe.
And during the war on his own native
grounds,
Lees running consisted in chasing the
hounds. -
We are now q p. M in receipt of dis
patches,
The Lee has passed Natchez ahead of
the "Natchez;'
And the prayer of each Southern man
will be
May success crown the efforts Of
'Robert f. Lee
I'll bet my last dollar-I've done it
before,
On "Robert E. Lee and I'll DO it
once more.
If I'm beaten, | IL pay up my bet,
though | bust,
'Tis another '9ost cause, which tho ,
lost is still just.

VAUGHT WINGS HIS MAN.

About 2 O'clock Tuesday morning
Mr.. Louis Vaught, Oneo our eff
cient deputy sheriffs, discovered some
one on the back gallery of his resi-
dence and Immediately brought his ar
tillery into action. The culprit proved
to be one John Brooks, cOlored, aged
about l6 wears. and who had been shot
in the arm and leg, and who acknowl-
edged that he was there for the pur-
pose of securing bicycle that had
excited his fancy the day before.
Brooks was only slightly injured, and
in a short while will be able TO do ex-
cellent work on the county farm.

a negro named Voidie Graves in jail
last Sunday charged with the murder
of his father

Graves, an ola negro about 20 years
Of age was sitting in his room on his
farm near Avon when some one fired
from the outside of the house with
shotgun, the contents pentrating the
heart and left 81 le of the body. The
old man died almost instantly
Upon being notified of the assassi-
nation, the sheriff went to work on

WEEK OF OCTOBER 1OTH-15TH
Additional Room in Exhibit Buildings.
New Grand Stand.-Colored Exhib-
1t Building.-Larger Purses for
Race Events.-Premium List now
Ready.

treat peparations are being made
for the Delta Fair which will be held
during the week Of October 1915. and
which undoubtedly will be an event
to reflect credit on the association.
At recent meeting of the board of
directors it was decided, and arrange
ments have been made for the bnild-
ing of additions to the poultry and
other exhibit buildings, building a new
grand stand and an exhibit building
to be used as colored department.
The colored department will be un-
der the management of John w. Strau-
ther, Lizzie w. Coleman and other
well known colored people On Sat
urday, the last day of the fair, spec
ial race program will be arranged for
the colored people.
The exhibit buildings have all been
painted, put in first class condition,
and preparations made to take care of
the exhibits that will be sent.
The management is now in cores
pondence with several carnival COM
panies and other attractions for the
" Midway" and nothing but the best
will he secured in this line.
From the large increase in classy
chicken raisers in the Delta, the poul-
try department, under the management
of Mr.. J. II. Robb, will have the larg-
est and finest display of fowls since
the organization.
The ladies of this city, Washington
county and throughout the Delta are
evincing deep interest in the fair, and
it as safe TO assert that the display of
woman's handiwork will be one of the
greatest attractions during fair week
The big catalog and premium list
will be ready for distribution next
week and may be obtained from the
secretary, Mr. l.. Pink Smith.
The premiums are mnch larger than
last year and well worth the effort Of
preparing something for exhibit.
Race horse owners from all over the
country are writing Chairman Norton
of this committee, and with the big
purses we are sure of several entries
in each race. The race programs are
now ready for distribution and may
be obtained from Chairman Norton
or from Secretary Smith.

For Cleanliness In the Herd.

For keeping the herd free from lice
there should be several posts near
where they feed. to each of which is
attached a gunny sack wound into
roll. Nail one end of the post just
above the ground. Then wind the roll
around the post In coils far enough
apart to permit the other end to he
nailed two feet above the ground.
Keep the gunny sack saturated with
crude petroleum. If the hogs have
lice they will rub against these posts
and destroy them.
Any hogs purchased from other
herds should be placed in quarantine
two weeks for the development of any
possible disease or vermn.
Avoid all mudholes i'm yards or pas
lures. Access TO pure running water
is desirable. but low. wet swamps and
mudholes are just as dangerous for
hogs as for men. Much of the so called
hog cholera is only typhoid fever re-
suiting from wallowing in mudhOes.

just exactly what is meant by each.
OF course the best time to do the
training is when the instructor and
the dog are alone. so there will be no
side attractions. After the dogs learn
to obey they should be taken where
the sheep are and taught to stand or
lie down In front of them. In Il short
time they should be allowed to drive
them. always, of course. under care
full supervision. until they will so and
get the sheep when told to do so,
whether the flock is in sight when
starting out or not. They will also
be found to be equally efficien. in
driving cows. Good dogs we'll trained
are comfort and satisfaction, but the
dog that has not learned to mind is a
nuisance and great damage on n

the highest equine intelligence and is
