The Liberal Independent has
a cartoon in last weeks issue
which is allegorical of the good
things Liberal has or wants. A
female figure Tabled as Miss Lib
eral is surrounded with children
with tables attached indicating
the valuable commercial features
of the city, while she is reach
ing out to an old gentleman who
has for hes another child. 1t is
fine and calls to mind the advan-
tages possessed by the city if a
forcable way, but one can't help
thinking that it rather. a large
family for a Miss. Then one
can't avoid mental commet on
the eagerness of Miss with so
large a family asking the gentle
man for an increase.

NCKSBURG MAY
DROP OUT.
But If She Does, 1t Win Not Affect
the Cotton States League.

Disquieting rumors are emanating
from Vicksburg to the effect that the
Hill City may not De a member of the
Cotton States League in 1911. The
cause of this uncertainty, it seems, is
deficit of $1,000 from the past season.
which the owners of the franchise will
have to carry through the next seaso~
or start the season with it. -

Dwellers could ~ reco.,. their finan-
cial loss, and tI-rssn who backed the
team do rot like the idea Of facing an
other disastrous season.
Vickshurg has always been one of the
best citizens in tn, circuit, in one way.
but the management has never done
more than break even financially. The
Hill City bugs do not warm up to the
team properly, not even when Vicks-
burg is winning majority of ner games,
and this is causing the man behind the
payroll to hesitate before investing
further in the game.
Jackson was the one team in the
Lea que that made money last season,
and that city probably wsuld have been
a big loser but for the sale OF Graham
and Flint to st. Louis and the drafting
of Rates by Pittsburg. This put some
thing like $1,000 in the local treasury.
While it is mere rumor about Vicks-
burg dropping out of the circuit next
year, it is somewhat strengthened by
the further rumor that Frank Scott
recently elected President of The league
will decline to serve. In the event
that Vicksburg remains in the circuit
it is probable that Mr.. Scott will fill
the office; but if Vicksburg drops out
he will not.
In the meantime other Cotton States
teams are going ahead with plans fol-
next season. Vicksburg has a good
reserve list, forming the nucleus foI
one of the strongest teams in the cir.
cult, but has done nothing. The other
teams, except Meridian, which is to be

BE A HOTlY
CONTESTED GAME.
University Of Mississippi and A. s
N. College Are Evenly Matched.

That the Thanksgiving Football game
between the University Of Mississippi
and the A. & M. College teams, to be
played at Jackson, is going to be the
most memorable contest that has ever
taken place on gridiron in this State,
is the confident prediction of football
experts who have carefully studied the
work of the two teams during the pres
ent season.
That the teams are almost evenly
matched is beyond all doubt, and it
would be hazardous indeed to forecast
the result of the final battle Of the
season. While the followers Of both
elevens are making confident claims, it
is, in each instance, case of the wish
being father to the thought. Conserv-
ative critics are saying nothing. They
do not care to venture prophecies, real
izing that it will be Titanic struggle
for supremacy, and that the result may
depend wholly on some minor fluke or
accident.
The victory Of tho A. & NJ. team
in the game with Tulane was expected
and as the score, considering weather
conditions, varies very little from that
with which "Old Miss" vanquished the
same team, it furnishes no basis for
comparison. Unfortunately for the dope
artists, "Ole Miss has cancelled her
game with the Louisiana State Univer-
sity, and thus another basis of COM
parison is made impossible, the L. s. U.
having defeated the A. & NJ. at Baton
Rouge.
Again, the victory of the University
at Greenville on Saturday over the
Alabama University team cannot be
regarded as a criterion, for the A. & M.
will not play Alabama this year, nor
will the starkville aggregation go up
against Vanderbilt.
Preparations are already under way
for the Thanksgiving game in jackson,
and the Alumni Associations of "Ole
Miss" and the A. & NJ, which will have
the event in charge, are expecting .
record breaking crowd. Last year the
annual game was witnessed by five
Thousand persons. Low rates will be
given on all railway lines, and special
trains will be run from Starkvills and
Oxford.

Last July the Greenwood Directory

States, with the 81 $50 salary limit, will

tions in the country.
Hattiesburg will have a new manager
in short time, who will plug the holes
in that team, while Jones and Thorn
ton will stand pat, especially Thornton,
who will depend upon the 1910 cham
pions to carry him through the season.
Thornton will make but few, if any
changes in his lineup.
Jones, at Yazoo City, had one of the
fastest teams in the League at the close
Of the season, and, if ne had been put
in charge at che start, the Zoos would
have made better showing. Jones
will make but few changes, and these
will strengthen the weak spots in his
tefense.

second baseman of the team, will again
be back, as will Sorrell at third and
Gondolti at short, leaving the first base
job and probably two outfleid positions
open. Another pitcher must be secured
to fill the hole left by the draft of Eaton
by st. Louis, but there will not be as
much xperimenting, as a whole, as
marked last season.
Jackson will have a new second base
man to replace Graham /; new first
baseman to take Elint's old job, a
catcher, and probably two new outfield-
ers. Woodward is good catcher-one
of the best of last season-but he
doesn't like that job and wants to play
the outtield. Pohler will be back at
third and Edwards at short, while Nc
Lain will be back Tor the outfield. Sor-
reis, Peters, Peaster and Walters will
all be back, giving Jackson about the
best pitching staff in the League.
Meridian will have to depend upon
New Orleans for most of her players
since Frank will use the Queen City as
truck farm, but M eridian can be count
ed one of the best teams in the circuit,
even at this date. Meridian had few men
strong enough to show class in this cir
cult, even last year. Burgess and
Puig were two of the best, and would
strengthen any team in the League.

Megriment reigned supreme, last ey- ening, at the masquerade and dance given at the Seaside Institute, under the auspices of the Misses Rose Moran and Jessie Maritime. The affair was very pretty the costumes being cleV- erly gotten up and varied considerably.

Miss Edna Fully, at tired as Martha Washington was a winner, though there were a number of young ladies who set a rapid pace for first honors. Miss Virginia F'rend came as Red Cross nurse. Miss Gertrude Frend cannes as Little Red Riding Hood.' Miss Lottie Metcalf as a Geisha girl and Miss Jessie Maritime as a native of the Netherlands The honors among the young men went to Ed Knapp, who made the hit of the evening. MT.

FEEL EFFECT
 OF THE MEAT BOYCOTT
Especial from Limited Press.)

Especial from Limited PresS)
 Norwalk, Jan. 28.-The Norwalks are commencing to feel the effects of the meat boycott which is spreading ell over the countr& and as a pre- llminary result. the price of butter has dropped in the local retail stores from two to five cents a pound. This is because the wholesale dealers have reduced their prices. The price of strictly fresh eggs has dropped five cents a dozen but is still at an almost prohibitive proce.
 Most of the dealers have lowered the prices of lard and many other commodities. As far as known by the local retail butchers, however, there has been no drop in the prices of beef. Pork and lamb had dropped five cents pound. Although the la- Tor orga anizations of the Norwalks have taken no action in the boycott as yet, it is expected that they will in the near future.
