Tr,-county Fair Week.

The third annual meeting Of
the Tri-County Fair began Tues
day morning with a parade in
which a number. of the business
people were represented. While
the number of floats and vehicles
were limited, there was splendid
taste displayed and the parade
was quite an attractive feature
of the day.

agemet, but the weather was in.
tensely hot and those who came
suffered greatly from the heat.
The hot weather was also a de-
terment in the matter of bring
ing in exhibits and the farmers
were a little chary about bringing
in their stock, which would have
endangered the lives of the ami
mails. This fact cut down the
exhibits considerably, yet there
is a good representation in a
number of the departments,
which do great credit to those
who sought to make of the fan
an entire success.
The judges awarded to the Bal.
lard Dry Goods Co. the first prize
on the floats, the second to Mrs.
w. w. Trice's Sunday schoo
class. The Misses Wilson were
voted the first prize on private
vehicles, the second going t
Miss Daisy Ritter. The vehicles
were lovely and did great credit
to the good taste of those wht
prepared them.

To Be Greatest American Far,
Weekly.

Weekly.
This part of the South is now
to have what promises to be
come the greatest farm weekly
in America. The Progressive
Farmer of Starkville. Miss, has
had for some time over 100. 600
circulation, and recently it has
absorbed the Farmers Union
Guide of Birmingham, Ala, and
the Southern Farm Advocate of
Memphis, Tenn, carrying it to
the $50, mark. Beginning
January 1st, it will open a mag
nificently equipped newspaper
plant in Birmingham. and is ex-
pected at the same time to open
offices in Memphis.
The fact the Progressive Farmer
is published weekly; that it is
made especially for our Southern
climate, soils, crops and condi-
tions; and that its first interest
is the subscriber rather than the
advertiser, it having relentlessly
exposed all advertising frauds
these are the things that are
mainly responsible for the popu
larlty that has given it its pre-
eminence.

Claude Iverson.

While on his rounds about two

Police Tom Gray found the dead
body of Claude Iverson lying IN
the alley just back Of Main street.
Mr.. Gray hastily summoned Mar
shall Robertson, Sheriff Trapp
and Mayor Robins. DR.. Elkin
was called and jury of inquest
empaneled. Upon examination
of the body it was found that the
head showed wound on the TOP
and back and bruises at other
parts of the body. The jury re-
served their verdict to supse-
ouent meeting. The body was
removed to Lumpkin-Clark un-
dertaking department and pre-
pared for burial. At 9 O'Clock
the jury again met, but were un-
able to reach a verdict and ad-
iourned again until Wednesday
morning when they met and re-
turned the following verdict

We, the undersigned citizens

Claude E. Iverson came to his
death on the 25th day of Sep

we, the jury, find that he came
to his death by causes unknown

The body was lying under the
window in the north side of the
room in the Blair building occu-
pied by Mr.. Iverson as electric
ian. The impression prevails that
he went to sleep while sitting in
the window and fell backwards
to his death. There was no evil
dence of a positive nature before
the jury and the above was the
only verdict upon which they
could agree and report.
Claude E. Iverson was the eld-
est son of Mr.. and Mrs. liver w.
erson and was born and reared
in Iupelo. He was a quiet and
unassuming young man and gen.
orally liked by the people OF the
city. He conducted himself to-
ward every one with courtesy
and had host of friends among
the young men of the town. He
was a member of the local lodge
of the Knights of Pythias for
several years. His tragic death
cast a gloom over the entire COM
munity and the sympathy OF ev-
cry one goes out to the bereaved
family in their great sorrow.
The interment took place from
the residence Wednesday morn
ing at } o'clock, where many
gathered to pay their last tribute
of respect. The services were
