Lineville Store Burglarized.

Mays Dry Goods ,store was again
burglarized Sunday night and about
IT'S yards of silks valued at 1925
taken. A five dollar suit case in
which the thief also carried off the
plumber was also taken. Entrance
was effected by breaking the glass
of one of the rear windows, through
which the burglar reached and turn
ed the catch and then raised the
sash. So far as we have been able
to learn there is no clew to the per-
petrator of the crime. 1t was prob
ably committed early in the night,
the. thief getting away on some of
the night trains several hours be-
fore the discovery of the robbery.
The store was burglarized in a SIM
liar manner early in the summer
and at that time silks to the value
of about $500 were taken.-Lineville

Going to Law.

Old Wax and I lived side by side
and never had a row, until one day
he damned the hide of my old brin-
die COW. He said she ate a suit of
clothes that hung upon his line, and
so I biffed him on the nose and he
soaked me on mine. We owned our
homes, were out of debt, had money
in the bank, that day he damned my
brindle pet, and I gave him spank.
Awhile we stood around and cussed
and waged the fluent jaw, until, sur
charged with deep disgust we turned
and went to law. Oh, that was bum
and beastly sport! Our lawyers
smooth and deft, conveyed the case
from court to court, and taxed us
right and left. Now at the poor
farm Wax and put in our fading
years; lean on him heavy sigh
and he bursts into tears. Sometimes
we ranble up the road, where once
we did our buz; a lawyer lives in my
abode, another lives in his. Then to
the poor house back we 60, and seek
our couch of straw, and think of joys
we used to know before we went to

MONEY REFORM
IS DISCUSSED
X-SENATOR ALDRICH ADDRESS
SEES DELEGA GATES TO TRANS
MISSISSIPPI CONGRESS.
NO POLITICAL CONTROL
Says New System Cannot be Con-
trollcd by Wall Street or Any
Other Clique.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 14.--Curren-
cy reform and the proposed change
in the banking system of this coun-
try as outlined by the National Mon
etary Commission, formed the cen
trail theme under consideration by the
delegates to the mississippi
congress, which convened today in
annual sesson.
The principal address was delivered
by former senator Nelson A. Aldrich,
chairman of the commission, who
explained the proposed plan. He ex-
planned how the small banker would
have independence and enlarged
credit.
"The organization of credit" he
said, '1s a most important element.
This Is especially favorable to the
newer communities such as you have
in the trans mississippi territory.
Referring to the criticism that pos
siby that proposed National reserve
might be dominated by political in
fuences, Mr.. Aldrch said that no sem
sible plan for the reorganization of
the country's banking system could
be controlled by politics. Neither
can it be dominated by Wall street, or
any clique in New York or else
where" he said.
Mr.. Aldrich said the new plan
would give uniform rate of discount
throughout the country and that 1t
would offer more competition to for
eign banks. He commended the pro-
posed plan to all banks to have saw
ing banks.
Secretary Stlmson urged the impor-
tance of this country's trying for
closer commercial relations with
South America.
"The government Is building the
Panama canal. 1t will soon be COM
pleted and now | want to see the
American people use tact in develop
Ing greater commercial relations with
the outside world.
1--WE must not allow other coun-
tries to get the strangle hold of the
commerce of the world" he added.
