The charm of the quaint, old fash
toned fichu is not to be denied, ano
this summer fichus are to be much
worn with frocks Of thin, summary
material This fichu of white tucked
batiste and embroidery is combined
with a broad sailor collar and the
whole arrangement fastens at the
throat with an old fashioned brooch,
the folds of the fichu being drawn
down and pinned at the belt line. One
reason for the almost universal be-
comingness of the fichu is its V
shaped arrangement at the neck. The
V'd neck opening is much more apt to
be fattering to the face above it than
the round Dutch neck.

man closely pursuing. The two
wounded men came to town and theil
wounds were dressed by DR.. Bufkin

PEANUT RATE
is Up AGAIN
Another Hearing Will be Held on
March s-Dissatisfaction over
Recent Agreement.

jackson, Miss, Feb. 27.-The pea
nut rate question is to be re-opened
by the railroad commission. This de-
cision has been reached since Presi-
dent Webb learned that the rate pre-
sented to the commission, and which
was adopted under the impression
that it was a compromise agreement,
was never submitted to the peanut
interests.
President Webb received a letter
from Mr. Dahlgren Saturday, in which
Mr.. Dahlgren stated that he never
saw the rate till it was presented to
the commission and adopted. He de-
clared it was not a compromise agree
ment. unless the railroads among
themselves, agreed to it. as it was
never submitted to those represent
ing the peanut interests.
Capt Webb issued statement Fri
day in which he showed the position
of the commission in the matter, and
said that while the rate was not what
he thought it should be, it was adopt
ed under the impression that it was a
compromise between the railroad and
| peanut men.
Captain Webb sent out a notice tc
the railroads and peanut interests
| Saturday fixing Wednesday, March S
as the date of the hearing. AS some
of the railroads interested think the
rate promulgated was too low, they
will fight any attempt to further re
duce the rate on this commodity
Captain Webb has received severa
protests from railroads operating il
this state against the new rate, bu
the indications are that it will go still
lower.

planning MILL
OF Newman Lumber Company At
SumraIl, Miss, Sunday
Night.
Special to The NetCs.


Sumrall, Miss, Feb. 27.-The big
Newman plant at this place, suffered
a loss by fire Sunday night of approx
imately 100000, the small planning
mill and the lumber in this mill at the
time of the fire having been burned.
The fire was first discovered at
about II o'clock and its origin is a
mystery. No work had been done at
the plant since Saturday afternoon,
the boiler fires were not burning, and
there had been no other fire about
the plant, or exposed electric lights to
start the blaze. Just thirty minutes
! before the blaze was discovered the
watchman had passed through the
mill and punched his clock, and there
was no sign of fire or reason to expect
it at that time.
As soon as the flames were discov-
cred the alarm was turned in and in 9
brief while the fre-ighting apparatus
was at work with fifteen streams o.
water turned on. The work was Sc
effective that the fire was confined t.
this small portion of the planr, thougi
hundreds of thousands of dollars il
other property was in jeopardy.
The officials of the company ar
much gratifed at the way the fire wa
handled, and state that the mill vii
be at once rebuilt. The loss is full
covered by insurance.
