Murderer Said
 To Have Made
 Ready A Grave

Middletown. Aug PA new inter est was given to the incidents con- nected with the murder of Archie Walker by Arthur Jackson on the Bailey farm at Durham one week ago Sunday, by the report that if Jackson had not killed Walker, Walker would have killed Jackson, and that Walker had prepared a grave in which to bury the body of Jackson. It was said that the grave prepared for Jackson by Walker was iii a secluded part of the Bailey farm. The report has been investigated by some news paper men.
 The Baileys were not in agreement as to what Walker planned when he dug hole on the Bailey farm in the form of a grave. Mrs. Bailey was of the opinion that it was, as Walker said, intended as a swimming place for the geese kept on the farm. H. M Bailey, for whom both men work ed, was not in complete accord with was said to him by Walker as to why he dug a grave shaped excavation in the earth where here was no water and where there has since been none except from the recent rain, until Walker was questioned and then Wal ker said it was for the geese.
 Walker did not speak to Bailey of
 
 subject until it was preached to him. Bailey did say that Walker had threatened to kill Jackson and that he had boasted that he would bury Jack son. Bailey admitted that he was himself afraid of Walker and describ- ed him as an ugly man who seemed to have intense hatred for Jackson and for no good reason, more especially as it was Walker who had brought Jackson to the place and got him the employment.
 The night before he was shot Wal ker dsd not come to the house, but slept in the horse barn. By his side was an iron bar and MT Bailey ex- pressed the opinion that had Jackson gone down there that Sunday morn ing he would have been killed by Wal ker. Jackson apparently had the same opinion, for he was at his bed room window Sunday morning with a gun with which he shot Walker when he appeared as a good mark
 At any rate there is a grave shaped hole of considerable depth on the

to Rome made that city forever famous and brought it prosperity.

centuries have passed since the great Appian Way was dotted with

IN the matter OIL road building II is a matter of personal interest to
every man in this country to see that the little stretch OF road that
lies before his home or his farm is in good condition. OF course.
there are abuses to good roads, but they cannot outweigh the bene-
fits derived from the good roads.
In a certain locality in Iowa there were banded together several
farmers and certain ,ownspeople who took great pride in maintain
ing an excellent road for their own use. Automobile drivers never
failed to avail themselves of the opportunity 20 break the speed laws
when passing over this portion of roadway, and finally the farmers
became SO Disguised that they gave up their efforts to keep the
road in condition. One year passed and the time for marketing the
crops came. Horses wallowed through the mre in the roads up to
their bellies, wagons were stalled and loads were ruined while trans
ferring them from one rig to another. The next year the farmers re-
sumed their up-keep. The disgust they had felt toward the ravages
of the automobiles on their good road was by no means equal to the
disgust, as well as the financial loss they suffered, when those good
roads were neglected.

THE ELECTION IS OVER.

The primary election held last Tuesday brought victory to some
and defeat and disappointment to many. But it was a battle among
Missssippians and notwithstanding the intensity of the contest, ii
pleases us to note that the election passed off with nothing more Sc
rious than a war of words and a battle of ballots. We Mississippi

Those to whom the writer had made confidential statements
will bear witness to the fact that the result of the race for United
States Senator brought no surprise to him. We believed c. H. AL
exander better suited for the place and that he would have served
the state better. But the people have spoken. We ar never one to
complain about the result of a political game. The most bitter par

Let us hope for the best. Let each of US do our duty and all

THE VALUE OF GRENADA COLLEGE.

AS a financial proposition. Grenada College is the best
institution in the town. A new dry goods store would only
take away a part of the custom now going to others, bring
ing little actual cash into the community. The College
brings here from other sections at least $4,000 a year in
spot cash. This money is distributed. directly or indirectly,
to the profit of every citizen of Grenada.
Internationally, the value of the College cannot be esti-
mated in coin. Many do not seem to appreciate the value
of having at their very doors a school which their daugh-
tiers may attend for three full years after completing the
eleventh grade in the public school. The required course
for the A. b. degree calls for three years each of Latin,
English, History, Mathematics, and Science. after gradu-
alton from the public school.

The Story Of a Shirtwaist.
This is a rue story.

This is a true story. /
A week ago a family moved into q
strange town. A few evenings later
one of the neighbors called on the new
arrivals. :
Where did you ever get such a
pretty waist?' asked the caller gush-
ingly.
Down at your general store here
replied the newcomer. "Why?'
II didn't know such a waist could be
bought IN the town; in fact, didn't
know Jones kept shirtwaists at all!
Several times l have wanted a waist in
a hurry, but l never tried buying it at
home-I supposed l had to send to Chi
cago for it."
This is a true story, and it demon
strates that the development OF home
trade is a simple matter and that sew
eral parties are to blame for it's delay.
In this case the first person to blame
was the housewife.
She thought that she sent away from
home for things bee Ause they were not
carried at home, whereas, if they were
not carried at home, it was because she
sent away for them.
That they were carried at home was
| only because of the dealers faithin the
community. or the presence in the com
' m unity, of people who believe in COM
munity development.
Another party at fault was the deal
er. Having invested his capital in
shirtwaists, he should have gone a lit
tie further and should have let the pub.

buying away from home. She actually

If something is wrong with the popularity of community, it is
lut a natural to look for the trouble on the roads leading to the

The community that desires prosperity. and home trade, must see to
it that all of the possible avenues for outside patronage re open and

SANTA FEE. N NJ. Jan. 31. - A sensation was sprung in the New Mexico constitutional convention by the committee on boundary, which insisted that the 103d meridian is the true historical boundary between New Mexico and Texas.
