A Foolish Bargain.--It is his own
fault if any farmer is fooled in the
purchase Of fertilizers. Every fertilizer
to be: sold in this state Is analysed. at
the A. and M. College, and. any farmer
can obtain report upons tho subject
by investing one cent in a. post card.
If you buy fertilizer from an agency
beyond the state limits, that is not reg
istered in the state, it will serve you
right if you "make FOOLS bargain

A "Back Home MoveIaent-A great
movement is under way to bring our
friends ''back home" We are going to
devote much space to showing what pos
siAilities are here for them in their old
home country, and ask the names and adj
dresses of your friends and acquaintance
in the west and northwest, and paying
us for three months subscription tor
them at twenty-five cents EACH Copies
of the lists thus received will be given
to the immigration Board of Railroads
in the south, now being organized, which
will use all possible effort toward BRING
ing the boys "back home" Do not send
the names of persons unless they live be-
yond Mississippi and the Ohio and Po-
tomac rivers.-Corinth Herald.
Evil Habit Bears Bloody Fruit-Shortly
after o'clock last Saturday morning Mr.
Jeff D. Mathis, of this place, accidentally
shot himself and died in about forty min
| utes after the fatal shot. He was the
owner of a livery stable here and was
| in the stable alone at the time of the ac-
cident. He was in sitting position and
the pistol probably fell from his hip pocket
and was discharged, the ball entering
his right leg above the knee on the under
side and ranged upward, passing entirely
through his leg and entering the Abdomen
and went upward somewhere into region
of the liver. He was found lying on thu
ground Just outside a stable door, face
down. and unconscious, his life blooe
ebbing away Drs. ]. E. Pegram ane
| c. M. Murray were hurridly called ane
all was done that could be but the deadly
bullet which had gone crushing through
his vitals had done its work.-Ripley Sen

A Dream of Anarchy.-As to the lib
elous references to conditions in our neigh
Dor county Franklin we also desire t
enter most emphatic plea of not guilty
Franklin has been the unfortunate victim
of political feud differences, which pos
sibly involved one per cent of her popu
lation; but the enterprising journals ant
| their special correspondents, always liv
to sensation, have magnihed these trouble
until now Mr.. Coker has dreamed dream
of anarchy and spins yarn OF libe
! about there not having been term
court held in the county 10 several years.
Our esteemed and unusually Trustworthy
contemporary, the Sentinel, should hav
been more careful than to. have printe'
such a story without full investigation
We venture the assertion that with al
of Franklin's unfortunate feud trouble
that the Sentinels home county has ha'
more killings within her borders within
"the past several years" than has Frank
lin; also that the average citizen of Frank
lin county is as law abiding as the av
erage citizen of Yazoo, or of any othe
county in the state, for that matter. Fay

| New Orleans Can "Come Back. IF tin
south will give Panama opening cele
bration in New Orleans, all of the state
contributing by each state building its OWL
building, and making elaborate display
of its own resources, it would spike Cal
ifornia's gun so efectually that the crowds
out there would be CONSPICUOUS by thei
| absence. And it ought to be done. No
for revenge or spite purely, but because
| the south needs it. 1t should be different
from other fairs and expositions, in thai
it should be of southern resources, pure
and simple; display of southern pro-
ducts! No exhibits should be invited
or accepted from the north, the east OF
the west beyond the Rockies, or from for
eign countries. 1t should be southern
states fair, and the world should be in
vited to come and see. The effort of a
Republican president and Republican con-
gress to give the south Knockout blow
should not be allowed to succeed. New
Orleans is still the illogical point" and
should go right ahead with plans for a
Panama opening celebration in 1915 for
the exposition of southern resources
