Publicity Bulletin.

The Publicity Bureau of the Missis-
sippi Cottonseed Crushers Association
has recently issued Bulletin No. l, en-
titled, Protect the Cottonseed Crop"
The primary object claimed for the
publication is to get the world to ap-
preciate fully the value of the cotton
seed product and to foster the proper
relations between the producer and the
oil mill men. The bulletin states in
black type that the cottonseed product
sells in the worlds markets at from
one third to one-half value. The bull
letin gives what the cottonseed crop of
the state last year consisted of as fol-
lows: 48,77 bales or linters, 1881, =
6S5 gallons of oil, 143, ,567 tons of hulls
and 1873, 109 tons of seed meal and cake.
The publication is well worth the read
ing and is frank statement of condi-
tions as the oil mill people see them.
The farmers should get copies of the
bulletin and read them.

Neqr0 Woman Shoots.

One of the affairs that startle cities
and give the daily newspaper an oppor-
tunity for glaring headlines was enacted
on the farm of ]. c. Perry, three miles
west of Grenada, last Sunday evening
at about 6 o'clock, when Anna Apple
son plugged Joe Nash, both negroes,
with ristol bullet. The impression
seems to be general that the shooting
was accidental. Both parties seem to
have had hold of the weapon when it
fired. The ball entered just above
Nash heart, and at this writing his
life hangs by thread. The relations
between the man ani the woman are
supposed not TO have been altogether
in accordance with the commandment,
and the trouble started by Nash forcing
an entrance into the woman's house.
The woman was taken in charge
by Sheriff West Monday morning and
brought here and lodged in Jail.

Appointed Temporary Clerk.

Governor Brewer last Monday named
>: W: Vance to fill the vacancy in the
circuit clerks Office made by the tragic
death of E: M. Ransom, the appoint
ment to hold only until an election car,
pc neld and the people given an oppor-
tunity to say by their ballots whom
they wish to serve them as circuit
clerk. Two largely signed petitibns
We're sent to the Governor from this
place, one from Elliott, one from Hardy
and two from Holcomb and Oxberry,
containing more than half the voters OF
Tne county, and in appointing Mr..
Vance for the vacancy the Governor
named a man that needs nobody to
vouch for his honor, his fidelity or for
any of the other attributes that make
for good citizenship. He is Master of
the Masonic lodge in Grenada and has
been at different times for the past 20
years, and it can safely be said that
there is no man who to greater degree
holds the confidence of the public than
MIR. Vance. He. will no doubt enter
upon his duties as soon his bond is ap-
proved. Mr.. Vance states that he will
be candidate at the special election.

Rev. Thomas B. Williamson.

The Rev. Thomas B. Williamson died
at his residence in this county July
"a, 1912, in his 67th year. He left to
mourn his loss and to revere his men,
DRY his devoted wife, formerly Miss
Virginia Harrison, whom he married in
1891, and his sisters, Mrs. Georgia Tai
bert and Miss Susan Williamson, be-
sides large number of other relatives
and host of friends.
Mr.. Williamson was an honored rep
resentative of one of the distinguished
families of this community, his father
being Mr.. George Williamson, and his
brother, Judge R. w. Williamson, who
for so many years was both circuit and
chancery judge in this state.
The writer of this notice personally
knew Tom Williamson, as he was
called by those who knew him best,
from the writer's earliest infancy, and
it can be truthfully said of him that a
truer, better man never lived. He had
but one rule of conduct to which he al
ways rigidly conformed and that was
to first ascertain the right path and
then walk therein, regardless of cir
cumstances or results. Nothing could
swerve him from his duty as he saw it,
whether as christian, citizen, relative
or friend. Temptations fell harmlessly
around him; no seductions, however al
Turing, and no anodyne however sooth-
ing, could either tempt or lull him from
the performance of his duty. He lived
beneath the shadow of the Almighty;
in the glory of the Cross of Christ he
found consolation and in the perform
ance of his duties he drank inspiration.
His life was pure, his heart full of gen.
tleness and sympathy and his love fol
his fellow-man large and embracing.
The community is better for his having
lived therein. Those who knew him
can point to him as model. He learned
early, and also taught by precept ant
example, that the chief end of man was
to glorify God, and now he has gone tt
Him forever. w. C. M.

Matinee Races a Success.

The matinee races held at the fair
grounds last Friday under the auspices
OF the Fair Association proved a deci-
ded success. Quite nice sum was re-
allied from the gate receipts, which is
to be used in making the necessary re-
pairs on the grounds and buildings be-
fore the fair is held this fall. There
were number of horses here from
various points and the races were close
and exciting. Following were the re-
suits:
First Race-Free-for-all, 1-2 mile,
best 2 in 8; Star Pointer, (Hale), 1st;
Charlie S. (PowelD. End.
Second Race-2:40 trot or pace, mile
heats, best 2 in 8; John S. (Simms) 1st,
Blue Girl (Bingham) End.
Third Race-Running, 1-2 mile dash;
Spit Fire (Watts) 1st; Prince OUCH
heinz End.
Fourth Race-Running, Ia mile dash;
Prince Uuchheim) 1st; Dan (Single-
ton) End.
A 3-yr. old filley owned by Powell OF
Lexington made the mile in an exhibi-
ton trot in 2:35, with only about thirty
days practice.

There have been more than dozen
no @'h heora s 0na hno IT,
J. H. Owen, J. P, during the past ten
days. They have been brought in from
the country and from the town and as
result there are several parties now
in Jail under sentence and the county S
exchequer is good many dollars to
the better. Sheriff West and City Mar
shal Hall and his deputy, J. w. Martin,
are all to be commended for their vigil
lance in working up the cases. A re-
cent order passed by the supervisors
permitting part of the fine imposed
to be paid to the person turning up the
vendor of illicit liquor, has served to
aid the officers very much in bringing
the cases to the courts.

Dies From Kick of Horse.

Circuit Clerk E. M. Ransom died last
Friday afternoon at few minutes to
Z O'Clock, from the effects of kick by
a horse at an early hour that morning.
There were several horses in the stable
and one especially was creating no lit
tie disturbance, so Mr.. Ransom thought
it proper to inflict a little punishment
on the disturbing factor. which he pro-
ceeded to do with buggy whip; bi Cha
was too close to the animals heeIs,
with the result that he received kick
which caused his death about twelve
hours later.
Mr.. Ransom had, for the first time
for long while, spent the night before
at his residence just beyond Bogue
bridge and was alone there. After be-
ing kicked, he was almost lifeless for a
while, but managed to crawl into the
house and phone for a physician and
some of his friends. From the first he
thought the kick was fatal and so ex-
pressed himself.
The funeral services were held at
the residence of his sister, Mrs. Ida
McCampbell, Saturday afternoon at 5
O'Clock, after which interment was had
in Odd Fellows cemetery. He was
about SIS years old and was born and
reared in Grenada. He had just last
January entered on his third term as
circuit clerk of the county, which was
indeed no small tribute to him. He was
a quiet, unostentatious individual and it
was very rare thing to hear him pass
even the mildest criticism on anyone
else. He had no enemies, and it was
never deliberate intention of his to dc
anyone an injury. 1t is no extravagant
statement to say that he was a man OF
| generous judgment and of the best en-
deavors. He was not selfish, and what
he said could be relied upon. He wa.
member of the Presbyterian church
and an Odd Fellow. His mother, Mrs
M. Ransom, a very sanity woman
survives him, and besides her he ha.
two sisters, a brother and an adopted
little daughter, whom he dearly loved
| Truly it can be said, SIN the midst o.

lesson that heaven would have all learr
