to her companion in the zoo as she
pointed to a red collared widow bird
The bird was the size OF a thrush
black in color. with a handsome red
collar and tail feathers three times
the length of body.
Why they name him widow with
all those wives is a mystery to me,
she went on. HE only copies the Gus

Bridal Wells.

The traditional cloud of tulle no
longer is the fashion In London for a
bridal veil. The daughter of noble
man who was married recently in st.
Martins church wore a veil Of Brus-
sells net with tiny spot The veil was
folded closely around the head, and
was arranged in such a way the dra-
;peries did not cover the face, but fell
away gracefully on either side. A
finely plated frill of net dropped over
the forehead and was bordered along
the top with a small wreath Of orange
blossoms and myrtle. Another Lon
don bride wore veil folded lightly
across the top of the head, while in
front of it the orange blossoms were
arranged in the form of high tiara,
which helped to hold the veil in place.
The latter bride had on long leaf
green cloth wrap of ratine, trimmed
with broad bands of black satin.

The New Sleeves,

Although most Of the new frocks
and coats show the kimono shoulder,
the imported lingerie blouses have
the regulation sleeve in most in
stances. Where the straight shout
der effect is preferred 1t is simulated
by a broad band of embroidery which
Joins the bodice and sleeves.
A notable feature of some of the
new gowns is the difference in the
two sleeves. For instance, one of the
daintiest models shows one sleeve Of
chiffon, close and plain, while the
other arm is bare, save for a garland
or wreath of black roses set midway
between shoulder and elbow.

Three White
women in THE
PENITENTIARY
ONE SERVING A LIF TERM FOR
MuRoER-oTHER TERMS

Quite a Number Are Serving Sent

Susie Perkins is serving ten years

THE SENSATIONAL
STORIES EXPLODED
Or. Knapp Says That Boil WeevIIs
Are Not Being Sent to the
South.
(By Associated Press.)

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 17.--Dr. s. A.
Knapp, special agent in charge of the
cooperative demonstration farm work
In the United States department Of
agriculture in the Southern States
thoroughly explodes the sensational
stories recently sent out from Atlanta
relative to the alleged plan to destroy
the South's cotton crop crop through
a plot to distribute large quantities Of
boil weevils in the cotton growing
states.
In letter to G. H. Afford, agent of
the department in Mississippi, Dr..
Knapp says: Il do not think there is
anything in this story for the reason
that at the present time it would be
impossible to collect any large guam
tity of weevils for they are all hiber-
mating In winter quarters. OF course,
the larvae of the weevl has been de-
stroyed by frost and only the adult
alternating weeyils are alive. II it
were possible to find any large quanti-
ty of these if brought into any mild
temperature, they would thaw out,
would become alive and starve to
death in seven days.

THE BONDING
COMPANY MAY
enter SUIT
AGAINST cHANcERY CLERK OF
LINCOLN COUNTY FOR sHER.
IFF's SHORTAGE.
QUESTION AS TO CLERKS DUTY
The Bonding Company Is Being Called
Upon To Pay About $4,000
And interest.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 17.-Inforrna-
tion reaches Jackson to the effect that
the bonding company, which will have
to make good the shortage of the de-
faulting sheriff, ]. F. Greer, of Lincoln
county, may enter suit against the
chancery clerk of Lincoln.
If such suit is entered, it will Be
based on the fact that, as chancery
clerk, he was auditor of the county,
and it was his duty to see that the
moneys collected by Greer was paid
over. This he failed to do, and it is
contended that the chancery clerk is
liable because of his failure to perform
his duty.
The bonding company will be called
upon by the state to pay not only s11,-
O35.95, but penalties amounting to
about $4,000 and interest on the mon
ey. About $1,000 of the penalties
accrued on back taxes collected by
Greer, but which were never paid in
on time, while the remainder is due to
kiting his accounts. It is probable
the state will have to enter suit
against the bonding company, as it
has practically refused to pay the pen
|alties and interest.
When litigation is once started over
this matter, it is probable suits will be
filed thick and fast, as there are sew
eral angles to the defalcation. One of
the books was destroyed, while many
persons claim to have paid their taxes
to Greer, but have no receipt to show
that the money was turned over to
him. The affairs of the sheriff's office
are badly mixed as a result of the
missing books, and it is probable the
truth will never be known about some
of the taxes.
Greer, who has been missing since
Feb. l, is still in hiding, and it is said
he was, at one time, in Jackson, but
the general impression is that he is
still in Lincoln county, if not Brook
haven.

FORTUNE LOST
BY Hiding IT
Man With No Faith in Banks Fears
His Fortune lis Lost-His
Memory Bad.

Milford, Del, Feb. 17.-Littie faith
in banks and loss of his memory are
reasons given for the loss of his small
fortune by James Hudson, who lives
at Williamsville. Hudson is a native
of this section, but lived many years
in the west, where he prospered. A
few months ago he returned here,
bought a small farm and prepared TO
enjoy his declining years.
Hudson buried 1920 of his money
in an earthen-5>r in a secluded portion
of his farm. Shortly afterward some
fox hunters brought him the jar, which
had been dug from the ground by their
dogs, and Hudson was overjoyed by
his good fortune.
He feared to place the money in
bank, and Notwithstanding his expe-
rience he again buried the jar, but hid
it so well he cannot remember where
he put it. He spends most of the day
digging about the farm looking for the
lost horde He has found several
freshly dug spots on the farm. and
fears that some one else is digging at
night for his little treasure and win
accidentally discover it before he does.

greater growth for the city in the
future than in the past

POLITICS LIVELY
in new AUGUSTA
Temperature OF Political Atmosphere
Expected to Reach Boiling. Point !.
Farming Interests.

New Augusta, Miss, Feb. 17.-The
local features of politics are ferment-
ing. The temperature will soon reach
the boiling point when a good many
hopes will pass off as vapor.
For sheriff we have c. C. Dearman,
E. Small and Harvey Myers; for cir
cult clerk, A. A. McSwain, present in
cumbent, and Mr.. Meadors; for SUI
perintendent of schools the applicants
are R. Ferguson and w. F. Back
strom. The present incumbent is also
mentioned as hoping to succeed him
self.
County attorneyship has enlisted
aspirations of E. C. Fishel, C. c. Smith,
A. T. L. Watkins and d. X. Mcdonald.
j. e. Johnson wants to be assessor,
and has for his opponent the present
assessor, G. C. Clark. ]. T. Garraway
and D. G. Draughn both want to go to
Jackson to aid in making laws for the
next four years.
E. E. Mccoy, our chancery clerk has
no opponent, and acts more like a
rational citizen than like candidate.
Farming interests.
Farming interests are receiving a
degree and force of attention never
before known to this, and rarely to
any section. Some transient fads
come along, and soon die out. But
the present spirit of agriculture is
here to stay as long as time lasts.
When farming reaches scientific
basis, and it is almost to that status,
people will plunge vigorously into farm
life and farm work; and this, from
the simple reason that the mind of
man is so constituted that he likes a
vocation which calls for intelligence.
Now, when We have farming to rank
with law, medicine, pharmacy, engi-
1eering, ETC., in the degree of training
and skill required, the natural and
certain result will be that the very
best brain of the people will be de-
Toted to farming. No argument is
necessary to show the incalculable
good which will follow such condition.
