the great work Of eradication Of ticks,
the most important to No being Winston
which recently began the work and
will soon have It running In full force.
DR.. Leininger. who has been in charge
of the work in Noxubee for some time,
went to Quitman, Clarke county, last
Monday and latter making 3 talk of an
hour before the board Of supervisors,
$1,000 was appropriated by the board to
begin the work of building watts. Clarke

There are now eighty dipping watts in
this county, and last month. September.
1881 cattle were dipped. which leaves
about 5000 undipped cattle in the county.
There is much increased interest in the

In Memory Of Mrs. N. J. Davie.

The subject of this sketch, dear
aunt Margaret, was born near Fla
zelgreen, Alabama in 1929, and
died at the home of her sister.
Mrs. JAS Kincannon, of Verona, on
June 10th, 1911. She was about
seventeen years of age, when her
father and mother moved to Nox-
ubce county, Mississippi. About a
year after their removal, Mr.. r.
M. Pruitt, a splendid young man
of Madison county, Alabama, fol.
lowed her to Mississippi, and mar.
ried her in 1S47, and carried her
back to Alabama, ~where.they lived
several years and then came to
Noxubee county, Mississippi, where
she lived the remainder of her life.
This union was blessed with two
sons, one of whom died in infancy,
the other, Mr.. r. M. Pruitt, an
honored citizen of Macon, survives
her. Her husband, Mr.. Pruitt,
lived only a short time, dying in
1851. In 1854 she married DR.. G.
s. Davis, one of the kindest heart
cd men / ever knew. He was a
large planter, a man of affairs aud
stood high, both as a physician and
a citizen He died in 1862, and
once more she faced the world
alone. She then lived with our
dear grand mother, who cared for
her until her death. Keeping house
she always made welcome all the
grand children, when they visited
the dear old home, and did all she,
could for their pleasure and happi.
ness. She almost idolized her owl
boy, and her grand, children, but
her heart was big enough to take
in all the nieces and nephews and
she was never too busy to make
them happy and all were devoted
to aunt Margaret. She was q
member of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church at X.Prairie, join
ing it in ealy life and living a con-
sistent member of that organization
for the remainder of her life. Be-
ing of a cheerful disposition, she

Health Notes.

From DR.. N. A. Evans health
columns in the Chicago Daily Tri-
bune:
Milk and water are foods, but they
are 30 important as spreaderS of typhoid
that have treated them separately.
The other foods are not Of such impor-
lance al compared with milk and water.
In considering foods three questions
should be in mind:
First: Is the food to be eaten raw?
Second: II it Ia cooked, is it handled
after cooking bv any one who has re-
Gently had typhoid or been around ty-
phoid?
Third: Have flies got on it after
coo<ing.
Articles to be watched are fruits. cab.
bage, lettuce, tomatoes, celery, radish-
es, onions. watercress, cucumbers, raw
oysters and clans,
To begin with. no one should buy veg.
etables or fruit from a store, stand. OF
wagon where things are not clean. Ar
ticles of food exposed where dust, flies,
dogs, and cats can get at them should
cause customers to buy elsewhere.
However clean fruits and vegetables
may look, before they are eaten raw
they should always be washed in clean
water. Celery should be split up 80
that each leaf can be washed.
1t is inadvisable to eat raw oysters,
Methods Of oyster shipping have i'm.
proved greatly in the last two years.
Mole than half the oysters are now
shipped in excellent fashion. There il
still some sloppy. open icing and dip
ping IN stores, but the customers car
control that end of it by refusing to buy
osyters out Of an open bucket in which
there Is a chunk ice and a dipper not al
clean as it ought to be.
The principal reason for warning
against az oysters and clans is thai
SO many Of the beds are not properl,
supervised and 80 many oysters are be
ing floated or fattened on foul water
Until oyster beds r better supervised
aed more information is available IS t,

No person should handle food VIII,

before handling food and before eatin,
Is not a fad" 1t is the best of com
mon sense and prudence. Nobod,

heands.
Flies can carry typhoid bacilli to tn
sugar, the bread, the butter, or an.
other article of food. The flies in
house may not have typhoid on them
but the person eating has no way o
knowing. therefore the only safe polio,
is to keep flies away from the food.

The land roll for 1911 OF NOxu-
bee county has been completed.
The total valuation is %, 424, 446
against %, 312, 745 for 1910, or a
gain of $111, 7O1.
The gain over last year in per-
sonal was 1886, S74, so the total
gain for the year in the assessed
valuation in this county is $24S,-
575, or practically a quarter Of a
million dollars.
The following from the Memphis
News Scimitar shows what an i'm
preston Noxubec county's condi-
ton creates. This is valuable adj
vertising for the county.
The instance Of Noxubee, one of
the northwestern counties, how
ever, stands out like a beacon on
a clif-like an oasis in a dessert,
or anything else %reassuring q de-
lightful optimism from of apathy
and negative pessimism. Noxubee
has a great deal of that rich prairie
land within her borders, and an
energetic and excellent citizenship,
including some of the best farmers
of the state. Noxubee returns a
personal assessment Of $1, 667, 664
AZ against an assessment Of
81, $50, 100 in 1910, a clear gain In
assessment of 1886, S74. But that
is not the best of it. The treasurer's
report shows over $40, 900 in the
treasury to the good and the
county tax rate has been reduced
10 mills, which is the largest
reduction in the history of the
county, and this, too, in the face
Of the fact that a good deal of
money has been spent ON the
county roads, in the tick eradica.
ton movement, and on the agri.
cultural high school.
One of the reasons for this good
showing is that the property has
been fairly assessed. There are
1886 mules returned on the tax
roll at a total valuation S34O, 522-
almost $50 each. AS a rule the
assessment on mules falls below
$50 average. There are 3, $50 horses
in the county, assessed at $151, 467.
Noxubee has set the pace in an.
other regard which the rest of the
counties might we'll emulate. She
has levied q tax on dogs, which
each county is now authorized and
empowered to do through its
board Of Supervisors, and the tax
rolls show 2-44O male dogs assessed
at 81 each and 403 female dogs at
%, and the revenue from dogs
alone will swell the Golfers of N0x.

%, 800, besides .dis~couraging the
raising Of ki,yis as a chief indus,

ties are strongly addicted.
