Jack Gray as
City Marshal

At meeting of the City Trustees
held last evening Jack Gray was ap-
pointed City Marshal for the month
OF January. This temporary appoint
ment was made and it is likely that
the City Dads. will look further into
economy in relation to this office.
Several plans have been discussed
regarding the duties OF the Marshal
aside from the mere collecting OF Ii
censes. 1t may be possible that MIR.
Gray will take up the other duties
such as looking after the streets and
adding his team to the work of
street repairs AT any rate the trus-
tees arc endeavoring to either cut
down the expense or add duties to
the Office that will make it beneficial
TO the city taxpayers.
Mr.. Gray took up the burden OF
his Office this morning and seems
able to weather through the strain

Good Show
is Given

Last evening the Carson Opera
House was we'll filled with people to
witness THE House of Thousand
Candles as presented by the COM
pany of theatrical people who adver-
tised a good performance properly
staged. They kept their promise.
The staging and three good actors
made the play worth while. The
story in itself is hard one to make
an interesting play of and the COM
pany certainly handled it to the sat-
isfaction of the audience There
was little chance for the ladies OF
the troupe to wear finery and what
little they have to do is fairly we'll
handled
The character of Bates, the but
Ter. was handled by star, Mr. Rich
ard Cotton, but one cannot expect to
have everyoe on the stage star
The entire performance proved
entertaining. we'll handled, and
should the same people present an.
other play here it would call a pack
ed house. This class of performance
is entitled to such patronage.
The Litchenberg orchestra added
greatly to the evenings entertain
In all the evening was worth while,

House Full
of Good Ice

John McEwcn OF Lakeview, re-
ports cutting the best crop of ice in
several years. For a time Mac
feared that il would be failure.
The cold snap OF last week did the
business. Ice from seven to ten
inches in thickness formed on his
pond and no time was lost hustling
II under cover. A day and a night
shift was kept on the move and in
the four days Of cutting nearly 1900
tons of ice was harested This is
about four hundred tons more than
was harvested last season.
Up to the present time no ice has
been cut at Truckee or the other
mountain ponds. The thaw of the
past few days about cleared the
ponds of ice and those interested are
awaiting another freeze in order to
get down to business The ice bust
ness along the Truckee is taking on
a serious look

! Immediate discussion took place
on this motion. At a meeting OF
last year this same proposition re-
| suited in Governor Dickerson being
| voted down The motion carried at
last years session
Attorney-General Baker was call
ed on for an opinion relative to The
matter, He stated that he believed
that it was mandatory on the part of
the Board to fix a uniform basis OF
assessment. but suggested that the
present Board fix a scale or class
according to the business or amount
of money invested.
Governor Oddie stated that while
he wished to have this law carried
out he hoped that some definite con
clusioa could be had in the matter
He finally suggested that the Rail
road Commission had more data
than most of the Assessors and ask
ed that the members of the Commis-
sion be called to the meeting and
bring the data necessary to take the
assessment of the telephone COM
panies as planned by the law.
Late this afternoon the matter
was being gone over thoroughly and
receiving if possible more attention
than last year
After receiving what information
the Railroad Commission could fur
nish together with facts and figures,
a committee of five was appointed TO
go into the details of this particular
tsse ssment and make report to-
morrow morning.
A motion to adjourn until II o.
,lock a. m. tomorrow, prevailed,
md the Assessors will get down to

Nevada Spuds
Guaranteed

SACRAMENTO. january lO.-A
quarantine order has been issued by
State Agricultural Commissioner
Jeffries against a carload of potatoes
shipped to Sacramento from Nevada
The potatoes were infected with the
eelworm, a pest that has for the first
time in the history OF the comm,-
sion been discovered in this state
The quarantine order does not ex-
tend against all potato shipments
from Nevada. its effect being the
compulsory destruction of the pota-
toes on their reshipment to the con-
signee.
The potato farmers OF this partic-
ular section know nothing OF the
above. The potato crop of Nevada
is always regarded as the finest on
the coast and demands the highest
price in any OF the markets Some
of the dealers are inclined to believe
that this is an attempt to raid the
price Of the Nevada spul in order to
bring the price down. There is
corner on potatoes fn Nevada this
year and prices are unusually high
To the layman it looks like the Cal
ifornia merchants are endeavoring
to lift the hook worm into the Ne
vada producer.

LOWERING THE DEATH RATE
Figures Show That Fight Against IT,
bercuIosis Is Being Waged
Successfully.

We have the assurance of DR..
Woods Hutchinson, writing in the
Worlds Work, that the death rate
from tuberculosis has declined 10 per
cent. in the decade-which means a
saving Of $4,000 to 10000 lives a
year in the United States. The in
FAINT mortality rate is falling with
equal rapidity, which means annu-
ally a saving Of 10000 babies from
those Herods of the twentieth cen
-ury-thc little fevers of childhood,
dirty milk and overcrowding. The
death rate in all of our great cities
is being steadily beaten down to a
lower and lower level every year.
The advance census reports show a
lower national death rate than ever
before by nearly 10 per cent.
The fight against tuberculosis is
steadily becoming more and more a
fight for better housing, more play
grounds, better food and more of it,
shorter hours Of work, decent and
civilized shops, workrooms and fac
tories, higher wages, better educa-
ton in the laws Of health. We have
laid the bugbear of its transmission
by meat and milk, and are concen-
trating our fire upon the place where
the bacillus breeds-the infected
house or tenement room. The place
where we look for new cases Of tu-
borculosis is in the same house with
the old ones. We must break this
link in the chain if ever we are to
wipe out consumption. From 80 to
so per cent. Of the children in the
tenements living in the same house
hold with a ease of tuberculosis are
found to be already infected with
the disease.

A MISSISSIPPI RAISED JACK

This concern is one Of the largest
in this section of the south, and they
lay claim to having the second largest
cotton ginnery in the world with a
battery Of 16 70-saw stands; the
largest g%innery in the world has 16
8O-saw gins stands. The battery of
gins here has a capacity Of 100 bales
daily.
Under the progressive management
of Mr.. S. D. Murphee this home con.
Germ has taken big strides in CO.
operating with the farmers to the end
Of getting more for their cotton seed.
Making into manufactured products,
as they do, here at home they are IN.
abled to give more to the producer;
and they have always made a policy
Of dividing their profits. This con.
Germ has right in the neighborhood
Of S150,000 invested, and during the
working season they employ lbs men
and have a weekly pay roll Of from
$500 to $500, which is turned into
the local channels Of trade.
There is another booster out at

lar and efficient cashier,
This mill claims to have been the

L. K King

We take great pleasure in saying
some Of the nice things that we know
about Mr.. c. r. King, one Of the big,
gest boosters in Okolona. Mr.. King
has had a great deal to do with the
success Of this booster edition Of Oko-
Iona, He has contributed not only
time, but also money to this end, and
we take this method Of publicly thank
ing him for his manifest interest in
this, one Of the ways he thought was a
good booster for the town.
Mr.. King is President Of the First
National Bank as we'll as a practical
and progressive.idead farmer, and his
more than 1000 acres Of farming
ground in the county show what he
thinks OF progressive methods.
Mr., King was born and raised on a
farm 40 years ago near Buena Vista,
and remained there until he was 40
years old, when he moved to OkoIona
and became engaged in the grocery
business. From the grocery business
he took a step upward and became
interested in the wholesale grocery
business at New Albany, was elected
the concerns first President and he
still retains that position, A bit later
he became Interested in the drug bust
ness with Mr.. W, E. Bearden, and is
still associated with this progressive
concern. When the First National
Bank was organized he became its
first President.
He has been married twice, the first
time to Miss Hattie V. Smith, daughter
of Capt. j.. D. Smith,, and she died in
1906. To this union we're born six
children. In 1907 he was married to

Miss Mamie Harris, daughter of }. T.
Harris, a prominent M. & O. Railroad
official. To this union one child has
been born.
Mr.. King is a member of the Pres.
bytorian Church, and is prominent in
fraternaI circles, belonging to the Ma,
sons, Knights Of PythIas and Wood
men.
1t is Of such boosters as Mr.. King
that a Aourishing and progressive town
town is made and we wish there were
more like him.

A Clean Bill Board Service

Mr.. r. E. Buchanan, hal big heart
ed booster, is doing something under
our very noses that possibly OkoIona
people don't realize. But, whether
you are aware Of it or not. Mr.. Buc.
hanan conducts one of the %cIeanest
and most up,to-date bill posting ser.
vices in the south for a city of twice
the size of OkoIona, and he is cons
family receiving commendatory letters
from large advertisers who use board
advertising in this city.
In the most prominent locations in
the city he has board spaces for 1900
full sheets. And the fact that his
service is done right is evidenced by
him always having every board con.
tracted for ahead. There's neve a
day lost, when one contract is out,
there is an order waiting to fill the
dead space.
Mr.. Buchanan is also an efficient
employee of the Bearden & King drug
store. and he never loses an op-
portunity to leg, pull or push for the
town. We are indebted to him for
several photographs of interests that
appear in this issue of the Messen-
ger,
Any town would have cause to be
proud of r. E. Buchanan and his clean
bill posting service.

Attention Mississippians.

In the bad road counties of
Georgia lands are selling for sl9
per acre. In the good road coun-
ties of Georgia lands are selling
for from $40 to $50 per acre.
There is no difference in the fer
tiliry of the soil or in the loca-
tion of the lands in reference to
market. 1t is wholly a question
of physical facts-the difference
between bad roads and good
roads. Here is an object lesson
to be sure. Lands with good roads
are simply worth twice and a
half as much as lands with bad
roads. Nor is this all, lands in
the good roads counties are en-
hancing in value daily while
lands in bad road counties are de-
creasing in value hourly.
|. What is true of Georgia will be
true of Mississippi. Progress is
the slogan of the hour. There is
no such thing as standing still.
Those who do not advance, re-
trograde. This as true of counties
and States as it is of people.
This is the time of year for con-
tractors and others charged with
road working and construction to
put forth every energy and effort.
The tax payers, who are footing
the bills, expect this. They know
what the winter rains with poor
ly or improperly worked roads
means to team and vehicle.
Mississippi is only on the
threshold OF a great industrial
and agricultural future. She has
the climate. She has the soil.
And God never made a braver or
better people. She has the op-
portunity. 1t is up to her pro-
gressive cons and daughters to
utilize it wisely and speedily.
Nothing will advance every in
terest so much as up-to-date
public highways. Clarion Ledger

gown and "mortar-board" caps, they
presented an attractive appearance.
The saxaphone sextette was prehaps
the best event on the program, for on
this melodious reed instrument the light
airs of the day were rendered with tell
ing effect. From these melodies they
passed into the Pilgrim Chorus" from

was given, and it proved the Vassar
Girls to be musicians of unusal merit.

Girls presented strong musical pro-
gram playing various instruments with
impartial ease and ability. Tuneful
music, pretty girls, and a varied pro,
