The above is the photograph
Of w. F. Jordan. who was the
leading spirit in making the poul-
try exhibit here last week a sue
cess. Mr.. Jordan worked un-
tiringly and as a testimonial from
the citizens of Tupelo he was
presented with a handsome $10O
Hamilton watch.
In the statement of the Peoples
Bank and Trust Co., which we
published last week, further evil
dence was furnished, if any was
necessary. to show the rapid
growth and continued increase OF
business of this popular institu-
tion. Notwithstanding the fact
tha. our cotton is bringing but
little more than half the price
obtained a year ago the bank
comes forward with an increase
of $51, 900 deposits greater than
the same date last year. The
continued growth of this SUBJ
stantial bank speaks in highest
terms of its management.

Danville, ILL.,, March Tt was a
runaway horse that frustrated the
bank robbery at Newton, Fountain
county, Indiana. The burglars had en-
tered the bank and blown off the out
er door of the safe with nitroglycerin
when Raymond Hummins and Jersey
Wood, vino had been calling on some
woung women in the country, drove
up. The robbers stopped the horse,
but did it so suddenly that the ANNA.
became frightened, bolted and ran, ov-
turning the vehicle and throwing the
young men out. The burglars became
frightened at this and after cautioning
the young men to keep quiet on the
penalty of death entered an automo-
bile and drove away.
Hummins and Wood did not know
what was up. but suspecting some
thing wrong gave the alarm and citi-
zens soon discovered what had occur
red. An alarm was given and every
avenue of escape watched, but the
men got away. They are believed to
be Danville men. as the machine was
headed in this direction. They got no
booty.

Women Who Suffer.

Relief for women who suffer from
the many forms Of distress, pain and
irregularities due to the diseased con-
ditions of leucorrhea, or whites, can
be found in the following homemade
preparation, which is used as sanative
wash or douche with syringe:
Obtain a Bounce package of anti
septic vilane powder, / ounce tannic
acid and l ounce sulphate zinc. Mix
all together and use a teaspoonful to
a quart of warm water. In very short
order the ravages of disease will be
checked, the parts assume healthy
and tone and the pain, irregularities
and distress will vanish.
A sanative wash Of harmless char
acter like this should be used by every
woman who values her health and hap
piness.

On Hands and Knees Before the King
Was Long the Custom There.

On Hands and Knees Before the King
Was Long the Custom Thsrs.
Perhaps the most revolutionary re-
form carried out by the late king Of
Siam was the abolition Of the arbi-
trary rule of etiquette which forbade
an inferior in rank to raise his head
above that Of a superior or even level
with It, The inferior must not even
pass over bridge while a superior
was underneath 1t, nor must he enter
a room in an upper story while a SUI
perior was occupying a room beneath
IT. Servants approached their mas
tiers on hands and knees. This Gus
tom is by no means obsolete today in
spite of the royal edict, for many OF
the powerful mobiles who live far
away from the court still enforce it.
In 1874 the king held a large court.
at which no one present presumed to
appear otherwise than on hands and
knees. 1t was at this audience that
the edict forbidding the custom was
read to the PROSTATE multitude. They
there and then rose and stood like
men in the presence Of their sovereign
for the first time on record. Since
then there has been no prostration at
the royal audiences. But If supe-
rior stops to speak to an inferior in
the street the latter will still bend or
lower his head in some way as a
mark Of respect. - London Saturday

TIE ANSWER.
Here Is wonderful thing.
On Jan. the news came from Lon
don and from New York that the seis-
mograph had recorded an earthquake
somewh here on the globe.
On Jan. the newspapers OF the
world told OF an earthquake that shook
down the huts of traders and the tents
Of tribesmen In faroff Turkestan.
Science has so bound the world to-
gether that a tremor in one part is In
stantly noted and then reported inside
Of twenty four hours.
Ours is conscious world.
The seismograph is symbol OF that
new world senSitiveneSs which records
every tremor of suffering or OF pleas
ure. We feel world emotions. Every
shock runs along thousand nerves
from land to land.
NO man liveth to himself"
Humanity is one.
And this oneness Of humanity must
be reckoned with.
When the nobility Of France refused
to recognize the oneness of its blood
with that OF the starving poor the kin
ship was answered by the guillotine.
When the ktnship is denied there is
always the answer. though not always
in the shedding OF blood.
On being asked TO do something to
relieve the condition OF the poor in his
neighborhood a naughty rich man said:
Il will do nothing for those cattle"
The answer?
One OF the cattle won the rich
mans only son and dragged him with
her down to the depths.
The world Is kin.
Scarlet fever carried away two love
ly little girls in Boston mansion.
The cause was traced to pile of rugs
sent from the mansion to sweat
shop to be cleaned. A sweatshop girl
had slept on the rugs.
Humanity is one.
II the avenue refuses to recognize
the slums as kin to 1t the poison of the
slums will creep up into the avenue.
If capital refuses oneness to labor
the refusal will be answered by strikes
or worse.
If the nations lift up hands against
nations the answer will be war and
corruption.
The record Of the seismograph which
tells Of the tremors that shake human
ity must be needed or the answer will
come.

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
For some months past the Minister
ial association has noticed the very
general prevalence in our city of raj
fling and gambling schemes. While
considering what ought to be done to
stop this violation of the law, the as
ISOLATION was surprised and chagrined
TO see that the Elks lodge composed of
many of our representative citizens,
had originated a scheme of gambling
by which an automobile was to be raf
fed off at their fair in March and
caused also the same to be placed in
one of the most public windows on
Main street When we found that
thousands of these tickets were being
sold at the low price of 10 cents each
thus aggravating this form of vice by
bringing it within the reach of the
children of our city We felt in duty
bound to protest. Accordingly on Feb
ruary IA, 1910, we sent the following
communication to the Elks lodge:
]. c. Price, the Exalted Ruler of the
B. p. o. Z. of Richmond:
Dear Sir-The attention of the Min
isterial Association of Richmond has
been called to the selling of chances
on the automobile to be ratified off at
the Elks fair in March
The city attorney and the chief of
police both inform us that it is open
and clear violation of the statutes of
Indiana 2463, 1908 We protest against
this a violation of the law as cited
| above and respectfully ask that you
take steps to stop it Immediately.
| BY order of the Ministerial Associa-
| ton.
Truman c. Kenworthy.
j. F. Radcliffe.
Thomas ]. Graham.
II. G.. Deuter.
Good Citizenship Committee.
After waiting in vain two weeks for
a reply we asked for conference
with the officials of the Elks lodge to
whom in person we protested and ask
ed them to desist from this open i'm
morality and clear violation of the
law. They refused to take any steps
to comply with our request. We have
acted wholly for the moral welfare of
our city and we are making this public
so that all our citizens may unite in
helping us remove this immoral affair
from our midst, and save our COM
monwealth from the very unenviable
reputation we are getting. We have
also officially urged the chief of police
and the city attorney to stop this
clear violation of the law.
The text of the laws above cited is:
Whoever set up or proposes any
money, goods. chattels or thing in &C
ton, to be ratified for, or to be distrib-
uted by lot or chance to any person
who shall have paid or contracted to
pay any valuable consideration for
the chance of obtaining such money,
goods or things in action, shall, on
conviction. be fined not less than ten
dollars nor more than one hundred
dollars. etc.

ton.
