.MfSSRS. HILL & h'cBff
FORM C0-PAR1NfRSH'!P
VIII Open their Law Offices In Greenwood
During Next Month.

As had been rumored, Hon. r, c. Nc
Bee, the able District Attostsy Of this
circuit court districs iSfao rszs1as al
Lexington, has tender. his resigna-
tion to Governor Noel, and the law firm
of Hill & McRee will be opened in
Greenwood about the first of November.
The latter part of last week Mr. Nc
Bee gave the Governor notice Of his
resignation in order hat his successor
might be named, said resignation to
the second Monday, at which time the
last term of circuit court in L. fore
c IN y convenes. The day following,
Governor Noel appointed Hon. T. E.
Mortimer, of Beizoni, the district at
torney-.lect from this district, who
will assume his duties at the November
term in this County. Mr.. Mortimer's
appointment had been expected, teipg
the nominee and having high endorse
ment, as evidenced by the recent cam
paign in which he was an easy winner.
The appointment met with approval at
the hands of Leaore County, which had
given a maj ,rity to MIR. Mortimer in
the recent election.
AS lawyers, Messrs. Hill & McBee
need no introduction to the people OF
this section of the state. Both have
served their respective districts ably
as district attorney-Mr. Hill moving
to Greenwood few years ago from
| Winona, after brilliant service as
Congressman. Since his residence here
he has been associated with E. o. Stone
and with Ki,nbrough & Kimbrough
from which latter firm he has just with
drawn in order to form the partner
ship of Hill & McBee.
Mr.. McBee has made this District {
most Efficient prosecuting attorney
and is splendid lawyer in every re
spect. Greenwood welcomes he aDt
his estimable wife, and are glad to hav'
their citizenship.
The Commonwealth predicts for th'
new firm most brilliant and success
full career.

ltFlORt COUNTY IS
AFTER COMMISSIONER.
Petition Being Circulated for Commissioner
of Agriculture.

Following the steps suggested by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, and the initiative taken in several
other Counties in the state, q petition
is being circulated, and widely signed
in Lefiore county for an appropriation
of a salary for County Commissioner
Of Agriculture, with no less salary
than 81 200 per annum. This sum Is to
be augmented by S337. so annually from
the United STATES Department of Agri-
cslture, who are anxious to lend their
support.
If successful, the Commissioner Of
Agriculture will cooperate with the
Governments District Demonstration in
the advice as to the planting and Guilt
walton Of cotton. IL the proper man is
secured for the place, together with the
splendid advic. of the governmt nt's
experts, the Office should be Of invalua-
BILE aid to the county, especially when
it is about to be confronted with full
invasion Of the boil weevil.
The petition is being numerously
signed, and will most likely be a sue
cess, as the Supervisors are at all times
willing to do every thing in their power
to benefit their constituency, il it can
be done by reasonable taxation. This
is a necessity, as it will make Leflore
county's fight against the weevil easier
sailing There is no doubt but that the
weevil is blessing in disguise, but
durirg it's existence, the trial will be
rather severe to some. The help OF the
Commissioner of Agriculture will en-
able our planters to avail themselves of
the proven methods for plantixg and
cultivation in boil weevil conditions,
and in this way a successful fight may
| be made.
Do all in your power to help secure
the appropriation for the County Com
missioner Of Agriculture, and when the
office is in operation you can see the
splendid results that will accrue there
! from.

IMPROVEMENTS Will
BENFIT QUIVFR.
Congressman Humphreys Thinks Appro-
pridtiOH Certainty.

While on visit here the first Of the
week Bon. B. u. Humphreys, our able
congressman, appeared very much
elated over the matter of the favorable
flower river. which will give that sec
tion waterway facilities all the year
around as far as Huspuckena.
Congressman Humphreys says that
the engineers made splendid report
that was favorable in it's attitude, and
that it was smack up to him to bruise
around u in congress and impress
upon that body the necessity of the
appropriation he is seeking. La our
last issue was an extrrct from Jack
son special of the work Mr.. Humphreys
intends to accomplish, and we may ven
ture the assertion that il its within
Ben Humphreys will bring home the
bacon
This Improvement on the Sunfower

A Novelty Ballad.

One of seasons latest vocal produc-
tions emanating from the metropolitan
City is a novelty ballad, SO called, with
the euphonious title
"When You're in Love With More
than One You're Not in Love at All"
This composition which certainly has
q ring of truth in its name, was written
by two well-known song-smiths, S. h
Henry and Alfred Bryan.
The publishers, JOS. ". Stern & Co
OF New York City, have been kino
enough to lend us q cut of the music
which We print below.
The song is heard at theatres, con
certs, moving picture entertainments
etc; in fact, it is quite the rage il
musical circles, not only in New York
but in all the principal cities Of th'
Union.

Mr.. Cannon returned to the Walton
home for the night, and the following
morning left for the Roundaway Plan
tation, in Coahoma County, where he
inspected his interests. Thursday
he returned to Illinois. He regretted
that he was unable to accept the kind
invitation of the Grenada Fair Associa-
tion to be it's guest, but appointments
in Illinois prevented same.
One who had never seen Mr..
Cannon before probably had often won
dered why his caricature is always in.
variably portra, ed with a cigar in his
hand or mouth. This is easily under
stood after you have once seen the dis
tinguished statesman, who Is never
without a smoke, And he hardly ever
lays it down during the day. At the
Eiks Club Tuesday afternoon, when q
large number of our leading citizens
called at An informal gathering to meet
/ MIR. Cannon, and after several Of our
ladies had arrived in the parlor of the
Elks Home. Mr.. Cannon was smoking
when asked to walk in and meet the
ladies. He gave an inquiring look at
the cigar at which he had puffed dex-
teriously since lunch, paused a moment
and asked, ''Say, can't keep this cigar
between my fingers and not have to
throw it awas?'
Mr.. Cannon made a splendid impress
sion u on our people during his stay.
His sincere congeniality, his keen ap-
probation of the attention and cordial
ity shown him, his pleasant address and
engaging conversation, and his distinc-
tive pronunciation from a brilliant
mind won for him many admirers. As
; Mr.. Humphreys remarked at the lunch.
con, though we offer with him radical.

Capital Prisoners May Read Papers

Zinkham has noticed that inmates
made great efforts to have newspa-
pers smuggled into them. Some OF
them could go without tobacco and
other things they were accustomed to-
but all made constant demands for
news from the outside world Often
he caught inmates having outsiders
bringing them papers.
1T is an absolute fact that prisoners
are harder to manage when they are
deprived of newspapers than when
they are given the papers every day"
says the superintendent. When they
have the papers they are satisfied. They
can sit down and read the news, and
this gives them topics to talk about.
Now that the comptroller has au-
thorized the payment of government
money for the papers, | feel satisfied
that will have a much more con-
tented lot of prisoners than | had
formerly. We always have allowed
some of the prisoners to buy papers.
but all of them did not have the neces-
sary money.
1T is particularly noticeable that al
most all of the prisoners want par
ticularly to read about their own
cases"
