Housekeeping Shower.

Monday afternoon Mrs. Nor
man Monaghan was the honoree
at a housekeeping shower ten
dered by her friend. Mrs. Morris
Foster. at the home of Mrs. B.
M. billiard. More than a hun
dred guests responded to invita-
tions, and the afternoon was de-
lightfully spent by all who had
the pleasure of being present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Monaghan will
soon begin housekeeping, and
the shower brought many useful
and lovely reminders of the es-
TEEN of their host of friends
here. Many articles for the cul-
mary department and items of
household necessity, with dainty
handpainted china and brio a.
brac, comprised the list that
thoughtful friends brought in.
Mrs. Carrie Maye Wright Of
fered a most appropriate toast
to the bride Of a year, which was
gracefully responded to by Mrs.
Monaghan. Delicious refresh
merits were served.

Chief Sanitary Inspector Here.

DR. w. H. Rowan, Chief Sani-
tary Inspector for the State, was
in Tupelo Monday and reports
the following conditions:
"The general sanitary ar
rangements of the city compare
favorably with the best in the
state. The handling Of garbage
and cleaning of the streets are
all very commendable.
THE regulation requiring
foods and vegetables to be kept
off the sidewalks is very graft
flying, as this has been more
generally observed than in any
other town perhaps.
The regulation of the Board
of Health requiring fruits and
vegetables to be kept 18 inches
from the floor is being generally
violated, and grocery stores are
warned to observe the law.
''The meat markets are below
the standard, and are not in
keeping with the town. In two
markets were found harness,
clothing. sawdust. cobwebs, and
in one was found hides. dogs and
chickens. The markets will have
to improve.
''The bakery was sanitary, ex-
eept that it had an open toilet,
which was ordered closed at
once.
"A number of restaurants
were found with open closets in
their kitchens. In fact there is
not a sanitary restaurant in
town. None were properly
screened. None of the hotels
were exactly right, but two very
good. Only one was found using
the roller towel. =
All keepers of these places
were friendly to the inspe ctor,
and were instructed as to the
changes to be made. All prom.
ised to make the changes, and
must meet the demands at once
as promised. or a second inspec.
ton will make trouble for the
violators.
The work is largely education.
al, and on the return trip the
inspe, tor hopes to see a decided
change in some of the places
visited.
The co operation of the city
officers was much appreciated
in the absence of the county
health officer, who was recently
lost to the county.

The First Snow.

The beautiful weather of the
past two months was broken
Wednesday by an unexpected
change which resulted in sleet,
snow and rain. For several
hours snow fell, but as the at
mosphere was damp and murky
it melted and left the ground in
a slushy condition. The snow
flakes we're the largest we have
ever witnessed in this section,
and for some time the indications
were that Thanksgiving would
finax the ground covered in a
mantle of white.

MAY COME HERE.
German Squadron Likely to Cruise
About Chesapeake Including An
napolis Norfolk and Baltimore.

Present Indications are that when
the German squadron visits American
ports this summer the waters of Chesa-
peake Bay and Hampton Roads will be
the chief objective point Of the Kais-
er's fighting ships.
During the cruising about the Chesa-
peake with Hampton Roads as base.
the visitors from the Fatherland will in
all probability make a step off Annapo-
lis while the officers take a look at the
Naval Academy.
According to the preliminary ex-
changes which have taken place be-
tween the two governments, it has
been tentatively decided that Chesa-
peake Bay. with its cities of Norfolk,
Annapolis and Baltimore, would be the
most suitable place for the reception
of the visiting ships. Nothing definite
regarding visit of the German ships
has been decided upon, but there is
good reason to believe that Maryland
will not be neglected.
There is no doubt about the German
squadron coming, the Emperor having
given orders that the visit of the
American squadron be returned. This
order foil owed representations by Am
bassadOr heishman. Prince Adalbert,
it is understood here, will not accom-
pany the leet

CHILD BADLY BURNED.

Serious Accident While Warm

Little Crosby Stokes. the four-vear
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. John T..
Stokes, of Eastport. who lives on the
Bay Ridge Road, is little sufferer
from severe burns.
The child was warming his hands
over q small egg stove in the living
room, and turned around to 20 out OF
doors when his older sister, a girl OF
fourteen, noticed he was on fire. She
screamed for help as the girl held an
infant brother in her arms, and she did
the best she could to put out the
flames, but was unsuccessful.
The girls screams brought her moth
er, and both mother and daughter had
their hands and arms badly bUrned at
tempting 70 put out the fire. BY this
time the little boy was enveloped in
flames. The elder sister had presence
of mind to tear piece or carpet off
the floor and wrap it around her little
brother, thus eNtinguishing the flames.
The child is very badly burned
about one side, his thigh and legs and
a portion of his back, and his hair was
singed by the flames. The family
physician was summoned and every
thing done for the little sufferer, who,
il is expected, will be sent to the
hospital, but who is now being treated
at home
