Call From the United Charities.

The severe weather of the past
few weeks has brought out the
fact that the people of Tupelo in
a general way are in comfortable
circumstances. The winter
brings demands that frequently
cannot be met by the poor, es-
pecially where there is a large
family, but during the trying
times that the cold has brought
there has been but little suffer
ing among our people. Only
once or twice were calls made
on the United Charities Organi-
zation for help for those in dis
tress, and relief was given as far
as practicable without delay.
The United Charities have
found urgent need for clothing
for children. little fellows. from
the infant in the mothers arms
to the child of ten or twelve. Un-|
derwear. hosiery and other ar
ticles of wearing apparel can be
used to relieve the suffering from
the biting cold of little ones
whose parents are unable to pro.
vide for them. One family was
found where the father was sick
in bed. He had worked until
taken down with sickness and
was unable to secure thesneces-
saries for his family. There
were three small children, be-
side the father and mother.
None of the family were COM
fortably clad and the supply of
bed clothing was insufficient to
keep the family comfortable.
There was no food in the house.
On last Saturday afternoon a
case was reported of a family
that was destitute. The father
had left home and the mother
with five children, one an infant
of two months. was left to do the
best she could.
- We refer to these cases in or
der to impress upon the people OF
Tupelo the opportunity they have
to furnish relief to the poor and
suffering. Hid away in many
closets are cast off garments that
your family will never use again.
On the bodies of these helpless
little fellows, they would bring
comfort where there is now daily
suffering, that will bring disease
and death unless it is relieved. II
you feel interested IN SUCH work
get out what you can spare
and report it to the United Char
ities, who can Llace it where it
will do good.
The above appeal is to mothers
especially. At night. when with
childish song you Groom your lit
tie one to sleep, as you press him
to your bosom, do not forget that
there are others less fortunate,
and that you can do great deal
to relieve their suffering if you
will only take the time and trou-
BILE to do so.

B. M. c. Ready For Business.

The elegant Offices and club
room of the Business Mems Club
in the city hall was thrown open
to the public this week and it is
the unanimous opinion of all who
have visited the new quarters
that they would easily do credit
to a town several times the size
of Tupelo.
The large reception room has
been fully equipped with IL
brary table. a large number OF
comfortable chairs and rockers
finished in weathered oak and of
costly and elaborate design of
the mission style.
| All the meetings of the board
of directors and other conferences
Of the business men will be held
in this room, which will accomo-
date twenty or twenty-five per-
sons. The other Offices have been
fully equipped with desks, filing
cases and other devices necessary
in the operation of a modern, up
to-date commercial organization.
The membership up to date
ranges around the one hundred
mark, and it is the hope of the
officers and directors to double
that number by February l.
A meeting of the board of di-
rectors has been called for Fri
day night, and which will be held
in the main reception room OF
the club at the city hall. A full
attendance is expected to be on
hand as at this meeting plans
will be proposed and discussed
pertaining to the WORK of the
club for 1912.
1t is the expressed purpose of
the officers of the club to prepare
and publish next week list of
| the names OF all the members Of
the club to date. and as new
names are added these will be
published also. By so doing the
citizens of Tupelo and others in
terested in the welfare of the
city will be ablet observe who
it is that have enlisted to fight
the battles for the general good
of the city. The membership
committee have been doing val
liant service and a large number
of new names have been added
since the Inauguration of this
movement and the organization
of the club. It is probable, how
ever, that not everyone has been
approached in regard to this mat
ter and as the club room has been
supplied with telephone service
over both lines it is hoped that
those who desire to become iden-
titled in this work will lose no
time in indicating TO the secre-
tary by telephone or otherwise,
such desire. Now is a good time
to attend to this and all that is
n ecessary for you to do is to call
ce atrial and ask them to ring the
Business Mems Club and the
matter will receive attention
promptly and cheerfully.

Good Road Facts.

During the year 1911, fifteen
Southern States spent approxi-
mately $50,0OO,OOO in road
building.
Good highways benefit every
man. woman and child within
the zone of their influence.
All the tolls resulting from
bad roads are a substantial
waste of money that could be
profitably employed elsewhere.
The building of a permanent
highway is not an expense, but
an investment of the dividend
paying variety.

FOR Bic PRIZE
Soldier Team Accepts Chal-
lenge of the Hurley
Ball Players.

The sporting blood of the 22d infan-
try is up. Lieut.. Halford, manager of
the baseball team of that regiment,
declared today to the FL Paso Herald
that he would accept the challenge Of
the Hurley ball team for a game for a
side bet OF $500, and that he would piay
either IN FL PaSO or Silver City, but
preferred 81 Paso, as it is larger place
and there would be more interest in
the match here.
The 22d infantry baseball team ac-
cepts the challenge of the Hurley
team he said, TO play for expenses
ana side bet of $500, the winner to
take three out of five games to be
played on an FL Paso diamond; a com
mlttee to consist Of Art Woods, presf-
dent OF the FL Paso city league. and
the sporting editors Of the two Fl Paso
dallies, to have full charge of the Sc
lection of officials and the settlement

team TO play only men on the Hurley
payroll and belonging 70 the hurley

Lieut.. Halford. after reading Hurley's
supplementary challenge today, said he
would be willing to take his team 10

were taken south last spring none re-
mains. Many are called, but few get
in the worlds series.
The Giants have been long on quail
1ty in their pitching department, but
short on quantity. Last summer Nc
GraW was forced to make some quick
repairs on his infield to win a pelnant.
He is quietly planting good, young
outfielders on the bench and he is well
supplied with extra infielders and
catchers- Therefore he is cOncentrat-
Demaree is the leading pitcher OF
the Southern league He is no raw
youngster, but this is the best season
he has ever had. He has been roam
ing around in the minors about five
years. and once had a brief trial with
the Yankees No Southern league
Ditcher has held the enemy to as few
runs and hits as Demaree. He has
eight or ten shutOuts to his credit, and
If is largely through his efforts tnat
Mobile is in second place. McGraW
helped Mike Finn last spring by con-
tributing Jacobson, Gardella and Pau
let and Mike game McGraw an option
on his pitchers. Nothing could be fair
er than that
Demaree was one OF the pitchers
who shut out the Giants for thirteen
innings in Mobile last spring when the
CHAMPIONS played a scOreless tie with
the Sea Gulls. He is a right handler
with ability to mix EN- up, and
knows how to work batsmen. His
speed is not remarkable, and he IS not

Purchase of Demaree and
Bader Is Announced, and
Lines Out For Others.

y OMBING the underbrush Of the
minor leagues are several scouts
who are on the trail of young
pitchers for the New York Nationals
No league is too small to be explored
no tip so humble as 10 be ignored,
ond no price too big if the goods are
delivered. The ivory hunters have
been tanning the jUngles for many
weeks, and now. with drafting days
less than a month away, they are
springing their traps.
Manager McGraw announces the
purchase of pitcher Al Demaree from
the Mobile club of the Southern league
and of pitcher Bader from the
Dallas club of the Texas league. Larue
Kirby, the Michigan bearcat, is already
on the job. Demaree and RAIDER and
some others may show Up in the fall
But the whole mob will be in Marlin
next spring. Possibly a dozen new
pitchers will be inspected.
McGraw has carried the Giants
along on the pitching of Mathewson
and Marquard for a season now. The
other men have turned in victories
frequently and the work of Ames,
Crandau. and Wiltse cannot be over
looked. yet it is MathewsOn and Mar
guard who comprise the backbone Of
the staff. Tesreau is making rapid
advances, but McGraw could use two
