'Yes," said Higgins, helplessly.

"Eh?" said Higgins. mo-"
why not? 1t is usual, isn't it for
persons conducting a funeral to pro-

was not nearly so naughty now. ''Tn
I'll take it up at the meeting of the
board of directors of the Mutual
Benefit Association this afternoon.
Everything about Woods funeral is
to be settled them"
"Why didn't you tell us about that
meeting of the board of directors at
which everything about Woods fun
eral is to be settled before instead
Of telling us that YOU had settled
c'-orything?" demanded Woods
friend.
Are you sure about the rest of
the things you said? Are you sure
that the balance of the money you
owe to Woods estate will be paid to
Woods relatives or be used to put
up a gravestone?"
Eyes, we'll give it to the ceme-
terry" was the surprising answer of
Mr.. Higgins.
There was long silence after this.
"You know" said Higgins, des-
perateIy, after the lack of small talk
had become painful, this mutual
benefit association is a wonderful
thing. 1t is called the Secoro MutuaI
Benefit Association. Secoro comes
from Sears, Roebuck & Co., you see.

Sears, Roebuck & Co. reporting on
Woods condition. They received no
answer.
When the Dunning asylum au-
thorities heard that Woods estate
had a death benefit coming from
Sears, Roebuck & Co. they put in a
claim for $120 for caring for Wood
for three months, which is a strange
thing for county institution to do.
When asked why Wood received
no sick benefits, Higgins of Sears,
.Roebuck & Co. said:
''Well, you see we had him taken
to Judge Owens court and he was
adjudged insane there and so we paid
him S4.70 for the part of that week
before he was found insane and of
course after that we could not pay
him anything. Quite impossible to
pay an insane man anything, you
know"

Thus the matter was allowed to rest
the voters of the city having decided
to abolish the aldermanic plan Of gov
eminent and adopt the commission sys-

The new commissioners are inclined
to the belief that it Is possible to Sc

pump system employed in Memphis,
and 1t is expected that at the next
meeting authority will be given to the
city engineer to make an experiment
with this end in view.
Public sentiment among consumers
is overwhelmingly in favor of artesian

TRUCK GROWING AT SANFORD
T. L oooNNElL TALKS INTERESTINGLY LITTLE
TOWN is DOING TO INDUSTRY succEss-roMAToEs AND
STRAWBERRIES LARGELY PLANTED.

T. L. ODonnell, of Sanford, while in
Hattiesburg yesterday favored The
News with an interesting stroy rela-
tive to the trucking and strawberry
business at that place.
Mr. O'Donnell states that on Satur-
day last Mr.. Hall, representing the
American Canning G. Pickle Company,
of Virgins, met the truckers of San
ford and closed contracts for the
product of 200 acres to be planted in
tomatoes. The price agreed on was
$12 ton, which is So a ton more than
the same company paid the Sanford
people last year. During last years
tomato season the Sanford people
shipped an average of a car load of
tomatoes a day and the net results
were so very satisfactory they readily
contracted for the coming season.
The same concern that contracts to
take all the tomatoes grown on the
200 acres of land, expresses a willing

cucumbers, but contracts were not
closed for these. 1t is planned to
have another meeting on Feb. Is,
when the cucumber matter will be
closed.
Those engaged in the trucking bust
ness at Sanford last year, even though
the season was poor one, were quite
well pleased with their first years
experience.
Growing Strawberries at Sanford.
AS is well known Mr.. O'Donnell, the
general manager of the Ship Island
Lumber Company, is the pioneer in
the growing of strawberries for mar
ket in this section of southeast Mis-
sissippi.
Having become convinced that lands
in his section were well suited to
growing strawberries, he took up the
matter with characteristic energy, and
at once procured plants and set 1875
acres to Strawberries. In addition to
the Ship Island Lumber Company's
planting, j. R. Sumrall, of Sanford, has
so acres in strawberries.
1t is estimated that each acre should
and will easily yield $50 crates of rs
pints each, which means a total of
26,250 crates of berries. If further
figures are made it may be seen that
this means yield in one season of
100000 pints, equal to nearly 10000
bushels of strawberries.
When Mr.. O'Donnell determined to
engage in the strawberry business, he
contracted with a number of Italians

CARNIVAL SPIRIT
IS BECOMING
RIFE
MOBILE MARDI GRAS WILL BE AT
TENDED BY MANY HATTIES-
BURG PEOPLE.

AS the time draws nearer for the Mo-
bile Mardi Gras larger number of Hat
tiesburg people are getting the carni-
val spirit and making up their minds
to spend the second, third and fourth
days of February in Mobile. When
they think of the thousands of bright
ly colored lights on the water front
and throughout the city at night and
the gayly decorated streets presenting
scene OF ceaseless merriment by day,
they can't keep from wanting to be
there. 1t has been the custom for
many Hattiesburg citizens to attend
the Mobile Mardi Gras, but this year
even a larger number will go, because
of the magnificent arrangements that
have been made and the exceptionally
low round trip fare of 1915 that has
been granted by the NJ o., M. & G..
railroad.
The management of the Mobile car
niyal has surpassed every previous
Mardi Gras in arranging for the num-
erous attractions beginning next Sun
day, some of which are magnificent
street pageants by the Order of Myths,
Infant Mystics, Knights of Revelry,
Felix III and the Comic Cwboys' Pa
rade. Other spectacular and interest
ng events will be the motor boat races,
marine parade, endurance races, fire
run and hydro-aeroplane flights.
On Tuesday, the big day, will be held
the free coronation of the Queen of
the Carnival. Everybody knows what
this means, the throngs of individual
masqueraders parading the streets and
making the old town the scene of most
enjoyable revelry followed at night by
a grand public masquerade ball.

Heavy RaInfaII ilere


The rainfall yesterday and satur-

of the best rains that has fallen in
San Miguel county thus far this year.
The fall was more or less steady, one
that thoroughly vets the ground and
OF the kind that benefits the crops
more than can be estimated.
With the rain came a streak of cod
weather that made men hustle home
and dig down deep in their trunks
for their overcoats. Summer was tor-

that had been so comfortable up to
Saturday night was unpopular. From
