LAD RECEIVERS
FROM QUEER M|SHAP

Edward Smith. the 15year-old Ham
mond boy who suffered painful in
juries to his leg during bicycle ac-
cident last Monday afternoon, is re-
ported getting along nicely this morn
ing and is able to be up and around
again
The accident occurred Monday when
Smith was riding on the handlebars
of a wheel which was being propelled
by a boy friend. The wheel was 60
ing at a fair rate of speed, when in
some manner Smith caught his leg be-
tween the front wheel and the frame.
This caused the wheel to swerve to
one side, throwing the two lads to
the hard pavement severely wrenching
smiths leg. Unable to get on his feet
because his leg was wedged between
the frame work and the wheel, Smith
had to wait until help was summoned.
The front wheel was removed from the
bicycle, and il was found that Smith s
leg was painfully bruised and
scratches. He was removed TO his
home. where he was given medical aid.

CRUDE MATERIAL FOR PAINT
CLOSE AT HAND.

We are informed that there is
crude material for paint in close
proximity to Pascagoula, and all
that is needed is for a man to exam
inc it and find out if it is in Sufticl-
ent quantities to justify the mining
of it. Our informant stated that
there was enough to supply a small
factory. If this is the case then we
have very important asset that
only needs the working to help make
this one of the principal cities on the
Gulf Coast. We understand that
this crude paint is situated on East
Beach. An investigation OF this by
some of the monied men would be a
