JUVENILE Thieves
in BAD AT MERIDIAN

Meridian. Miss, Aug. 10-Mayor
Parker in a scathing commentary
from the police court bench Tuesday
morning, announced that he was hav-
ing drafted an ordinance prohibiting
the purchase of junk or scrap brass
and iron material from minors. The
remark was brought about by the ar
raignment of three white boys, Dork

being charged with stealing brass
from the Northeastern railroad, a
quantity of which was in evidence,
having been procured from junk deal

One dealer was fined $3.50, the

four years will be inclined to repu-

Banners READY
FOR THE CLERKS
Champions in Cub Circles Preparing
for Feast Tomorrow-Benefit
Kings Daughters.

The victorious Bankers, champions
Of the year in amateur ball circles,
are preparing for another feast when
they meet the clerks at Hamper Park
tomorrow afternoon. They say a few
of the clerks-a very few-are tender
and juicy, and these will be nicely
broiled and served with parsley and
lettuce dressing. But that an entirely
different method must be employed in
preparing those old and tough mem
bers of the clerk chan, and that 1t Is
probable these will be par-boiled and
converted into baseball hash.
AS far as possible 1t has been the
from each mercantile establishment
on the clerk team, for it is admitted
that there is sure to be a vacancy in
a store for some days after the game,
where that store is represented The
Davidson Co., is, however, especially
unfortunate in the matter, for that
establishment is sending Ed Wales.

to the slaughter.
Friends of the clerks are In mourn
ing, and those homes where those
young men are wont to call on Sun
day nights-and linger-are preparing
for holiday, or vacation or a rest,
however you may term the reprieve.
The game will be called at p. m
and the receipts are to be equally
divided between the Kings Daughters
and the association. Theh statement
that there would be charge for la
dies is in error. Ladies will be ad
mitted free. Flowers for the after
exercises must be donated.

NEEDLES LEADS
LEAGUE HEAVERS
jackson Twirier Has Won Sixteen
Out of Twenty-one Games.

This bit of information is just bit
astonishing, but it is nevertheless a
fact that George Needles, the lanky
twirler of the Jackson team, is the
leading pitcher of the Cotton States
League.
|. This is the way the dope reads, al
though there are several curve clerks
on the circuit who will doubtless be
inclined to dispute the honor.
Needles has pitched 21 games this
season, winning 16 and losing .. Seven
of his victories were won from the
Meridian team. and he seems to have
the Angora of the Melropolitans good
and proper.
Manager Sorrels has as yet received
no offers for the purchase of Needles
but it is likely that he will be drafted
to higher company at the close of the
season.

 NEW POSTOFFICE

Guntersville, June 3-(Special. .)-Through
 agitation by the local Commercial club
 all order has been issued from the post
 office department for new postoffice
 building at this place. The matter was
 and bids were asked to be filed in order to award the contract by June 1. Yester- day Robert l.. Lyttle was awarded the contract to erect the building, and he will
 In few days begin the actual work of putting in the foundations. The new
 building will be a two-story brick and will be decided improvement on the an- tequated structure now in use This is the l first achievement of the Commercial club,
 and it naturally affords the members some qualification. The new postoffice will stand by the side of the Citizens bank, itself new and handsome structure.
 A ripple of excitement was caused here ycsteday when John McLendon brought in s1 note which had been raised to $2O, and passed on him by one Tullis of Sand mountain. The bill which is rather clumsily raised, was handed to Assistant District Attorney c. B. Kennamer, and
 MT. Kennamer at once called up Secret Service Agent McAdams of Birmingham and put him on the trail. and he readily flushed his quarry, but failed to. bag him.
 Tullis, who had stopped at MT. Walkers,
 took fright and outran the officers, mak-
 ing his escape, by abandoning his suit
 case and other baggage. Last night a
 mule was stolen on the line of his flight.
 and the people believe Tullis took the
 mule to facilitate his escape. The chase
 has not been abandoned, but for the pres
 ent he Is at large.
