Mr.. William Murphy was the

Hon. T. j. Wood spent Tues

Mrs. Clarence Linney returned

A crowd of about five hundred
of our county people assembled
here on Thursday last to hear the
Hon. Senator Bllbo's address.
They were greatly incensed
over the cowardly attempt to as
sassinate him while enroute here.
No honest minded person can
excuss the perpetrator of such
deed and in such manner. If Sen
ator Bilbo had merited thrash
ing he should have been attack
ed face-to- face and man-to- man.
The Lord Jesus is fair in his
encounters with the arch-fiend,
Satan and man might do we'll to
follow his example.
Hon. Ross Collins addressed
the people in a very manly way
and received strict attention des-
pite the excitement prevailing.
DR.. w. E. Murphy of this place
and DR.. r. K. Prewlt of Acker
man gave Senator Bilbo prompt
medical attention. DR.. Murphy |
and Mr. George Morgan accom-
panied him to the sanitarium at
Jackson.
We intend to invite Senator
Bilbo back when he is sufficient
ly recovered to speak and expect
a larger crowd than before to
welcome "Mississippi's Martyr.

The fact that the United States gov.

OF the people. In the October number
of Popular Mechanics Magazine there
are 265 articles and 264 illustrations.
Many of these articles describe new

others discuss the progress of the age

The commercial importance of Tutuila
can never be of very great value on
account of the small area and rugged
volcanic character of the island.

'Talolas, or donation parties, and
were entertained at "siva-sivas" ina

The Native Booze.
At all formal gatherings the native
drink "Kava" was served with great
ceremony, and one swallow of the nau-
seating liquid was enough to satisfy
any curiosity one might have had
about it. The drink is mixed by the
"Taupau," or principal village maiden,
in a large wooden bowl, and is made
FROM pulverized kava root and water.

of tooth powder and soapy dish water.

The Samoan dance or "Siva-Siva,"
is calesthenic exhibition, performed
by a troup under the leadership of the
village "Iaupau," sitting, kneeling and
standing, alternatively. The "siva-
siva' is accomplished with move
ments in unison of the head, limbs
and body, accompanied by song and a
tattoo beaten on a small drum or roll
of mats. 1t appears to be one of the
principal forms of amusement of the
natives, and even the children become
expert in the different movements at
a very early age.

1T is thought by oil men who have

is just over the main oil sand, and
that within the next few feet the well
will encounter a flow that will COM
pare favorably with the new well of
the Lakeview, the Consolidated Mid

The fact that when the gas pres
sure in this well broke loose there
was over 42OO feet of water in the
hole, and before the shale could heave
up into the casing this whole column
OF water had to be lifted by the gas
pressure, leads those who are keeping
close tab on conditions in this vicinity
to believe that something more than
common can be looked for when this
well penetrates to the main sand"

Hot Weather Raises
Milk Price One Cent

Dairymen raised the price of milk
today from cents to 9 cents a quart
Several made the change weeks ago.
when 1t was seen that by reason Of the
hot spell and drought supply sources
would be curtailed.
The White Cross dairy and the Sha-
ron dairy served notices this morning
that for an indefinite period the price
would be raised l cent a quart. The
managers of these concerns were un-
able to say just how long the increased
price would be maintained, but accord
ing to their best judgment, not longer
than October or November, when the
dairies of New York and Pennsylva-
MIA, which send big quantities to the
Capital, are up to their usual output
Washington dealers say the shortage
which is liable to develop into gen
uine famine, is due to the ract that
there are not enough cows in virginia
and Maryland to supply the ,popula-
ton in this city, even under the oes!
circumstances, and now that the green
feed is entirely cut off, the cows arr
reduced so per cent in their flow.
II is predicted that unless rains fal
in two weeks the corn crop will be !
total failure, which means besides
hIg loss to the farmer, that there VII
be little to feed the cows this winter,
and the price of milk will stay at 9
cents, or even higher. Dairymen say
sales are dropping off.
