Resolutions Of Respect.

For the past week Union City has
been saddened by the serious illness and
death Mrs. Glasscock We fain would
have kept her, but she passed from
mortal sight Nov 29th. Our tears fall
as we offer this last tribute of love and
sympathy. 1t is seldom a community
is called upon to mourn such loss as
the loss of Mrs. Glasscock, and to each
one it is personal, knowing we can
never have again one SO sweet and dear.
But our days would not be happier
days could we forget.
Therefore be it resolved, That we
cherish the memory Of one SO good and
true. Let us try to emulate the ex
ample of one who consecrated her
wealth and all the love that was lavished
upon her to the Lord.
Resolved, That we tender our deep
est and tenderest sympathy to the
bereved husband and daughter, and
other loved ones who will sorely miss
her.
Resolved, That we as Society deep
ly deplore her loss, we bow in humble
submission and repeat her words, Il
would love to live and help you all in
things l could do, but it is all right; God
never makes mistake. "
tbs sorrow builds the ishining ladder
up,
Whose golden rounds are our ca.
lamities,
Where on our firm feet planting nearer
God
The spirit climbs and hath its eyes
unsealed
True it is that deaths face seems stern
and cold,
When he is sent to summons those
we love,
But all Gods Angels come to us
disguised,
Sorrow and sickness, poverty and death.
One after another lift their frowning
marks,
And we behold the seraph's face be-
meath,
All radiant with the glory and the
calm,
OF having looked upon the face Of
God.

Mrs. Tisdale.

TWO HOURS
Penitentiary Prisoners Get
Weekly Visit in Yard.
COnvicts Behave to Get Brief
Bit of Enjoyment.

Lansing Kan, Sept. 20.-Believing
that a little liberty now and then
helps in the enforcing of discipline.
Warden ]. K. Codding of the state
penitentiary has arranged to give the
inmates of the institution a little rec
reation each Sunday afternoon by al
lowing them to be out in the open for
two hours. He has been trying this
plan out for sometime and it has been
found that the little liberty does much
toward tightening the task of the
prison officials in managing the pris-
one-s.
We give them two hours every
Sunday afternoon said Warden Cod
ding. That tends to break the mon
otony of II straight hours in the
cells. Under the old system Sunday
was the hardest day of the week for
the prisoners. Although they had no
work to do on that day, they could
rest, but that was all. On week days
they have duties to perform and were
moving about. giving them plenty OF
exercise and keeping their minds oc-
cupied. When Saturday night came,
they were locked up and had to re-
main in their cells practically all Of
the time until Monday morning.
Priced by PisOners.
The plan of granting the prisoners
freedoms
ms with a semblance of real liberty
is strongly advocated by Warden Cod
ding. Under his present system War
den Codding says that the prisoners
have learned to prize the few hours
of liberty and maintain good behavior
in order to get it. Before Warden
Codding took charge it was very sell
dom that the prisoners were let out of
the buildings without armed guards.
The present warden lets them mingie
in the big prison yard. Under his sys-
tenn the number of guards needed has
been cut to the minimum. 1t now takes
but half as many guards at meal time
as were necessary before he took
charge. The same number of guards
are employed, but instead of working
them IL hours are now on duty but
101@ hours.
The plan now being tried out by War
Den Codding in the matter of allowing
those prisoners working on the Lans-
City road their freedom is
proving to be successful. The prison.
ers have no guards over them and they
eat and sleep in big tent. miles away
from the institution. So far, only one
man has escaped from the road gang
and he later came to the prison and

HOW TO GET FAT
Use Samose, Says Druggist Stansfield,
and Put On Good Flesh.

The almost universal interest in
physical culture is the best evidence
that can be offered as to the need of
a simple and scientific method of
making thin people fat, increasing
strength and restoring health.
Athletics, when carried to an ex-
IRENE, often results in straining the
vital organs. How much better it
would be for the average person to
regain health, strength and flesh by
using Samose. This flesh forming
food is assimilated as soon as it en-
ters the stomach it helps the organs
to assimilate the food and extract the
flesh forming elements; it builds up
the muscles and rounds out the limbs
into shapely plumpneSs.
Samose has been so successful in
making thin people fat and restoring
the weak and run down to strength
and health that Geo. w. Stansfield.
the popular druggist, 632 Kansas ave,
sells it under his personal guarantee
to refund the money if it does not
benefit.

PLAN GOOD ROAD
New York to Frisco Route
Dream of Motorists.
Each Auto Maker to Give 1
Per Cent of Receipts.

Indianapolis. Sept. 2O.-A stone
national highway from New York to
San Francisco, to be completed by
Jan. 1. 1915, in time for the Panama
Exposition, is the dream of the auto
mobile fraternity.
The plan provides for the setting
aside of l per cent of it's gross re-
ceipts for one year by every automc-
Germ which participates. The amount
is to be paid either in three yearly in
stallments of one-third of one per
cent each, or five yearly inStallmenrs
deviation is to be made from this
plan.
Already practically every indiana
polls manufacturer has signlffed his
intention of acceding to the arrange
ment, and at recent dinner in In
dianapolis better than 100000 was
assured in p minutes.
Owing TO her larger output Detroit
promises to Guido Indianapolis The
city by the lake has begun activities,
sure to be forthcoming.
An appropriation of ten million
dollars will provide $4,000 for each
mile of the roadway to be spent for
materials which will be delivered on
the ground out of the general fund.
The road proper is to be construct
ed by the counties through which it
passes, under direction of war de-
partment engineers. The course of
the roadway will be determined by q
national commission of experts.
simultaneously with activities in
Detroit and indianapolis, work will
be carried on among the manufacture
ers in Cleveland Buffalo. New York
and other important motor car cen
terc
The gross expense of the road, it is
said will be in the neighborhood of
thirty-five million dollars, and the
promoters claim that over twenty-five
thousand motor cars will run over it
to the Panama exposition.

Washington, Sept. 20.-During the last
Ave months numerous reports have
been received by the bureau of ami
NAL industry relative to the existence
of forage poisoning in various sections
of the United States, particularly in
Louisiana, West Virginia, Kansas and
Nebraska. It has usually occurred
when a hot, dry period has been fol-
lowed by rains, or during wet seasons,
especially those which are character
lied by frequent rains alternating with
hot sunshine, producing damp sui
try atmosphere.
Such conditions are most favorable
to the production of molds and all out
breaks that have been investigated by
the bureau have been traced to the
eating of unsound or moldy forage or
feed or to the drinking of water from
wells or pools containing surface wa
ter drained through decomposed and
moIdy vegetation The disease has been
shown to. be also due to eating dam
aged enSilage, hay, corn. brewers
grain, etc. Horses and mules at pas
ture may contract the disease when
the growth of grass is so profuse that
it mats together and the lower part
dies and ferments or becomes moldy.
No specific organ ism or virus has yet
been found which can be considered
as the cause of this disease.

Leavenworth, Kan. Sept. 20-Be-
lieving that the only way to rid Leav-

them from being patronized, an order
has been issued to the police depart
ment on the advice of B. F. EndreS
city attorney and Stewart Brewster,
police judge, that all frequenters are
to be arrested. Hereafter every per-

Better Lowman Hill Service.

Tenth street and loop cars were used
during the rush hours this morning all
the way out to Lowman Hill, instead
of turning south on Clay street from
Tenth to Twelfth streets The result
was that instead of coming to town on
cars that were so crowded standing
room was at a premium, passengers on
the Lowman line were able to secure
seats for the most part, and enjoyed
the ride The residents hope that the
railway company will continue this
practice mornings and evenings during
the rush.

absorbing story from cold type to the
glow of the footIights is no easy mat
ter but Mr. A. H Woods, the we'll
known theatrical producer has ennin-
emily succeeded in getting together the
crystalized substance of the story and
moulded it into dramatic shape, and the
new play fresh from its triumphs in the
principal cities will be seen at the

the stage version has been well done,
that the scenery is artistic and that
the whole result is in every way salts

Just as strongly to those who have not
read the book as to those to whom the
story is familiar. The very fact that
a woman is struggling against the con-
ventions and suffering the heartaches
that go with a love affair between two
people of different taste seems to
strike a sympathetic chord in the
heart of every woman, in fact, Mr..
Chambers mas done what no male
novelist has done before him. viz; he
has analysed a womans introspection
from the standpoint of the woman her
self and not from a mans viewpoint.

Residence Burns.

The residence of Mr.. NJ. H.
Moore, cashier of the Bank of
Tupelo, burned to the ground at
2::3O O'Clock Saturday morning.
Mr.. Moore was alone in the house
and he was awakened by the
smoke and only had time to get
out with but little wearing ap
parel. The fire had reached such
headway that it was impossible
for the fire company to save it,
but the work done in saving the
residence of Rev. A. 0. Price,
which was on fire, was good
work.
Only few articles of furniture
were saved. Insurance was car
ried on both the house and the
furniture, but not sufficient by
any means to cover the loss.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore lost many
items, among them their we'd
ding presents, pictures and other
articles that money can not
replace.

1900, has been appointed travel

with headquarters at Jackson,
Tenn. This is a decided promo
ton, and Mr.. Thompson's friends
congratulate him upon the
change, but regret exceedingly
that it will necessitate the re-
moval of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomp-
son from Tupelo.
Mr.. Thompson has been con-
nected with the Mobile and Ohio
road at this place for seventeen
years. Twelve years ago he was
made agent. In discharging the
duties of his position he has met
the requirements of the road and
has retained the favor and
friendship of the public gener-
ally. He has made a good Off
cial and in recognizing his worth
the road rewards him by sub
stantial promotion. In his wider
field we predict that Mr.. Thomp-
son will continue to make good.
Tuesday Superintendent Moore
of this division wrote to Mr..
John R. Moore advising him of
his appointment as agent here to
succeed Mr.. Thompson. Mr..
Moore has been chief clerk here
many years and no man on the
line is better fitted to handle the
business than Mr.. Moore. He
has proven his qualifications by
many years of arduous and effi-
cient service, and his many
friends here and elsewhere Will
be glad to know of his promotion
to the responsible position.

Iuka Bank Fails.

The Tishomingo Banking Co.,
of Iuka, closed it's doors on Sat-
urday last and was placed in the
hands of a receiver. The bank
was unable to collect outstand-
ing obligations and was forced to
suspend. Mr.. Faircloth the
cashier of the bank. was one of
the contractors on our good roads
but the failure of his bank will in
no wise prove loss to the dis
trict. The contract provides for
the advancement of only IS per
cent of the amount due on the
work done during the month and
the estimate is made each month
by the engineer and approved by
the commissioners before an al
lowance is made. Besides,
there is good and suffi .ient bond
behind the contract which guar
antees the completion of the
roads as now laid out. The ques-,
t on of their completion is now
up to the bond company, and
while we are not advised in the
matter we presume 1 hat the bond
company will place some one in
charge and complete the work as
soon as the weather will permit.
