FAMILY REUNION 8
OF Orr And Brantley Families
And Birthday Celebration
Held At Blackford.

On Wednesday, March 9Th,
there was assembled at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. B. P. Brantley
in Blackboard, members and rela-
tives of the Brantley and Orr
families, numbering more than
thirty people.
Those gathered there made the
visit as a surprise party. it being

Mrs. Ibbie Brantley, who is a
sister of the late J. w. Orr, of
this city, DR.. E. A. Orr, of Cald-
we'll county, and Kelly Orr, of
Crittenden county.
This reunion brings to mind Il
rather unusual relationship eX-
listing among the Orr and Brant-
ley families, which are two of the
pioneer families of this section
of Kentucky, both having located
here, the Orr family in Critten-
den county. and the Brantley
family in Crittenden and Webster
counties, in the early part of the
last century.
There were four intermarriages
in the two families, and yet there
was no marriage of blood rel
atoms.
The two original families were
those of Joshua Orr and James
Brantley, the defendants of the
latter, and the sons and daugh-
ters of William and Jesse, being
the ones who married into the
Orr family.
First l.. d. Brantley, son Of
William Brantley, married
Margaret Orr: next, Kelly Orr
married Laura Brantley, daugh-
ter of Jesse Brantley; then
followed the marriage of John w.
Orr and Nellie Brantley, brother
aud sister Of Kelly and Laura,
and then to even up the score,
Ben Brantley and Ibbie Orr were
married, which made the four
weddings in the two families.
Those present at the birthday
reunion celebration were Mrs. j.
w. Orr, Miss Katie Orr, Mr..
and Mrs. A. E. Orr, John Thorn
as, wife and son. Mrs. Rich Cor
bett. Providence; Mrs. John B.
Easley, AL Easley and son, Mar
ion; Miss Georgia Kuykendall,
Clay, Mrs. John Stuart and son,
Piney; Mrs. Margaret Pickens,
Mrs. O. S. Travis and daughters,
John r. Travis, Piney, and Mrs.
Dolly walker, Marion.
Together with those mentioned
above Mr.. and Mrs, B. P. Brant-
ley represent four gen erations of
both the Orr and Brantley fami-
lies.
The survivors of the older gen.
erations of the two families are
as follows: DR.. E A. Orr, age
70; Kelly Orr, age "a; Mrs. Ibbie

Tulane Defeats A & M.

The last game of foot ball that
will be played on the A. M. Cam
pus this season was the game be-
tween Tulane University, of New
Orleans and the Mississippi A. &
M. College which resulted in 4 to 5
in favor of Tulane.
A large crowd went out from the
city and it is estimated that over a
thousand people witnessed the
game.
Aggressive playing enabled Tu-
lane to win. The A. & M. score
came as a result of two safeties and
Tulane's followed touchdown in
the second quarter.
Tulane worked the forward pass
steadily the A. & M. eleven fail
ing to work the same tactic,
The Tulane team left Tuesday
morning, in their special car, via
l. G. railroad, for New Orleans.

Back Taxes.

Sheriff James has received noti-
fication from State Revenue Agent
Writ Adams to the effect that $50
tax payers of Oktibbeha county are
subject to back taxes. This will,
in the aggregate, amount to several
thousand dollars which will be di-
vided between the county, the
State, and last but not least, State
Revenue Agent Writ Adams.
The State Revenue Agent or his
representative will be in Starkville,
at The courthouse, on Dec. l and 2
and if any tax payers assessed can
show that their assessment has
been enormously made, then the
matter will be rectifed. Should
any one fail to make the complaint
on these days then the matter will
be closed as final, and those so as
sessed will have to pay these back
taxes, to the. Sheriff or have their
property sold within 30 days there
after. In this matter the sheriff
has absolutely no discretion,

For Civic improvements.

The Woman's Book Club at its
last meeting discussed the matter
OF public Improvements, and many
needed reforms were suggested.
The president, Mrs. TAFT Butler,
opened the discussion and made
many valuable points among which
was, that all front fences be dis
posed of and that more attention
be paid to the beautifying of lawns
and yards; that every woman ap-
point herself a committee of one
to see that all scrap paper and 9th
er waste in the vicitity of the
premises be destroyed; that the
business streets of the town be
kept clean, and that each business
house keep receptacle at
the front of their place of
business where all refuse can be
deposited and carted away daily;
that strict ordinance against ex-
pectorating on the sidewalks be
rigidly enforced as it is being
done in all other modern towns
and cities; that the markets be
required to provide clean and COW
cred sanitary wagons for hauling
meats from the slaughter pens to
the markets; hitchiug places off of
the maiu thoroughfares should be
provided for hitching purposes and
thus prevent blockading our streets
with animals and vehicles.
Other members followed the
president, and made suggestions
as valuable, namely:
Delivery of express within the cor
porate limits Immediately upon it's
arrival. (other towns of Stark
yille's size have this service); a
bulletin board at the M. & o. de-
pot announcing when trains are on
time or late on the main line at
Artesia; if feasable, a day current
installed by the city at the electric
light plant and a number of other
improvements that live and pro-
gressive city like StarkvilIe should
have.

Of Interest to Tax Payers.

The laws of Mississippi obli-
gatory upon the Sheriff to collect
all taxes due the State and county
on Dec. 18th, otherwise the Sheriff
is required to assess damages as
will be shown by the following
section of the Code of 1906. Sec.
43l5: "All taxes unpaid on the 18th
day of December shall Immediately
be collected by distress" 1t is i'm
portant that the tax payers should
give this matter their attention and
comply with the above section if
possible and get all taxes settled,
which will greatly simplify the
work of the outgoing and incoming
sheriffs.

The play at the Opera House last
Friday night by local taleHtoFas a
great success, and netted about
5000, which is to be applied to
the completion of the new concrete
walk connecting the city with the

this entertainment, deserves great
credit for the admirable manner in
which she managed the affair and
our people owe her debt of graft
tude for her liberality in giving her
time and talent to raising funds
for this cause.

Fire al Wards Mill.

Tuesday afternoon while packing
a bale of cotton at Wards mill, by
some means the lint became ignited
and, for a while, it looked as if the
entire plant was doomed. The
steam was turned on and by swift
work with buckets of water the
fire was soon extinguished. The
damage was slight-probably two
or three hundred pounds of lint

BRIBE TAKER RESIGNS
AGAIN FROM SENATE
BY Associated Press.


SPRINGFIELD, H.. Jan. State
Senator B. w Holstlaw. who confessed
last June to receiving $500 in connec-
ton with the election Of William Lor-
inner 10 the United States senate, and
who at that time tried unsuccessfully
to resign from the upper house of the
legislature, has written a second res
ignation, this time to Governor Deneen.
Announcement of its receipt was
made today. The first resignation was
sent by telegraph to Secretary of State
James A. Rose on June 3 and was de-
clared to be legally faulty because q
copy had not been fled with the county
clerk of Marion county and forwarded
to Governor Deueen.
Legal opinion differs as to the effect
of the second sent to the governor. 1t
is said, however, that it will be legally
effective.
, Holstlaw, after discovering that he
had not followed the strict letter of
the law in his wire resignation Of June
3, announced he had changed his mind
and said he would not resign.

the graveyard of this little mountain
toyn. He was laid to rest within a
brief time after the funeral train from

official life and out.
Another special train arrived from

ally at the same time It brought Gov.
ernor Glasscock, his cabinet, the JUS.
tices Of the state supreme court and
score Of state officials.
The town to which the late senator
had given his name was crowded with
mourners, who had thronged there from
every direction. Many who could not
come by rail drove over the mountain
roads to pay last tribute TO the dead
All business was suspended, flags dut-
tered at half mast and windows were
close curtained. The special train from
Washington, consisting of seven cars,
bore distinguished company.
Representing the senate were Sena-
