Finishing Plant at Cotton Mill.

Mr.. J. H. Ledyard returned
yesterday from New York where
he went to purchase a finishing
plant for the Tupelo Cotton Mills.
This plant consists of a Singer

of the mills that are now being

received very favorably by the
trade. The mill is doing a good
export business and orders for
large consignmants of the mills

Tri-County Fair.

The management of the Tri-
County Fair are busily engaged
in getting everything in readi-
ness for the opening day. Octob-
er 9Th. Prospects are bright for
the best agricultural display in
the history of the fair and the
racing events will be better than
at any previous meeting,
We have heard that a report
has been circulated in the north
end of the county that there
would be no races during the
fair, but there is no truth in the
report. The races will be the
same as are scheduled for the
other points in this circuit and
some Of the best horses of the
South have already been booked
for the racing here.
A splendid Italian band will
furnish music during the week
and number of attractive fea-
lures will be added to the pro-
gram of each day.

r. c. Kincannon.

| On Friday morning in Verona
Clark Kincannon was run down
and instantly killed by the south
bound mail train of the Mobile &
Ohio road that passes at $3.50.
He stated to his family that he
was going over to DR.. Spencer's
to get some medicine. Going on
his way to DR.. Spencer's he
reached the track just ahead OF
the train, which was coming
south at rapid rate. Before he
could get across the track the
train struck him and he was in
stantly killed.
Richard Clark Kincannon was
the eldest son of the late H. A.
Klucannon and Mrs. M. E. Kin
cannon, who still survives.
Twenty years ago he was mar
ried to Miss Alma Thompson.
From this union one daughter,
Imogene, was born. After fin
fishing course in telegraphy at
Sonora, Ga. he accepted a posi-
tion as operator on Georgia
road. So skilled was he that the
road made him a train dispatcher
before he was twenty years OF
age. Leaving Georgia. he re-
turned to Mississippi and went to
work for the Mobile & Ohio rail
road company. Within a short
time he was promoted to train
dispatcher with headquarters at
4 Murphreesboro. Ill. He served
in this capacity for six years, re-
linouishing his position on ac-
count of his health. He was
then placed by the road in the
freight department and was sent
to St. Louis, where he served as
clerk in the Office of Hayden Mil
ler, General Freight Agent.
From this position he was APP
pointed as travelling freight
agent for the road, position
that he held for several years.
From the beginning, Clark
Kincannon displayed unusual
ability in the positions that he
held. Possessed of superior
qualifications, of courteous man
ner and dignified bearing, he
made a deep and lasting impress
sion upon everyone with whom
he was thrown. Quiet and un-
assuming. he went about his du-
ties with a conscientious regard
of his obligation and in every de-
tail discharged his duty.
In his home life no man ever
displayed deeper feelings of
son, husband and father, and to
those nearest him alone can the
depths of his character be fully
known and appreciated.
His tragic death brings into
the lives of his family sorrow
that can never be healed. To the
bereaved ones the sympathy of
every one goes out, and to the
aged mother, bereaved wife.
daughter, sister and brother we
tender that sympathy prompted
by heart full of affection and
devotion.
| Funeral services were conduct
ed from the residence Saturday
morning by Rev. N. G. August
us, of Durant, and A. W. Lang
ley, pastor of the Methodist
church at Verona.
The remains were laid to rest
in the cemetery at Verona where
a large concourse gathered to
pay their last tribute of respect.
Many beautiful fioral offerings
from friends were laid upon the
grave.
In estimating the high cost of
living we should not get the fig
ures confused with the cost Of
high living.

PROMPTLY.
The party program is sound
and simple. It's dominant note,
clearly struck by its chosen lead
er, is to serve all the purposes
of the people" !"
This is the sane and wholesome
thought that interpenterates the
entire fabric of the Democratic
platform. 1t contemplates 0enu-
inc democracy. 1t provides that
the People shall come into its
own.
BUT THE PEOPLE MUST
GET TO WORK.
No utterance of Governor Will
son more effectually sets him
apart as the exemplar of his own
sturdily democratic theor es than
what he has said about the Cam
paign Fund.
No cringing obligations to
Chief Big Money when the fight
is won! No servile fawning be-
fore the doors of the Interests!
No crippled usefulness nor hamp-
cred influence. No taint is to be-
toul the streams of supply for
this "sterilized campaign.
The money to defray its cost is
to come straight from the people.
1t is fitting in the fullest degree
,nat 1t should be so.
Here, then, is opportunity for
the most vital kind of service.
Here is the task, the duty, the
! rivilege to which every Demo-
crat should Immediately address
himself.
Democrats of Mississippi, the
measure of your faith in your
party will be the CONTRIBU-
TION that you make to it's needs
in this supreme hour of its test
ing.
No profession of devotion to
democracy will avail, unless
v eighted with a material pledge
4 of it's sincerity.
The appeal for funds is to ALL
the people.
There are no classes, no favored
few for whom the privilege of
giving is reserved. The call is
to the great body of the people.
You are urged to become ac-
tive, participating, benefit-shar-
ing partners in this tremendous
business.
The other day Governor Wilson
was talking to a body of Farmers
in his own State. He said this
to them:
There is not a single class OF
the nation that ought to demand
that-it should be occupying con-
stantly the center of the stage;
put there is also not single class
in the nation that ought not to
demand constantly that it be re-
parded as a member Of the firm
in the great partnership.
Demand your personal place III
this work. Measure your gift by
your aDinty. Show your faith by
your works. Put into the cause
the heartening vigor OF an early
and generous contribution.
The Finance Committee pur-
poses to reach every County and,
as far as possible, every individ-
ual in the State. That this can
be done largely through the loyal
press is confidently believed.
