Mr. Albert Moore and family left
Tuesday for their Western home IN
Oregon where Mr. Moore will engage
in the banking business. Mr..
Moore has been identified with the
business interest of Starkville ever
since he reached his majority.

the Security State Bank and re-
signed that position to accept the
secretaryship of the A. & M. Col
lege, which position he filed to the
satisfaction of the College authori-
tles.the students and all who, had
business dealings with him. In the
removal of Mr.. Moore and his fam
lily, Starkville loses one of its best
citizens. and the social circles of
the city regret the loss of his esti-
mable wife and bright cnildren.
The best wishes Of the entire peo-
pie go with Mr. Moore and his
family to their distant home in the
far west.

NARROW ESCAPE
OF A LITTLE BOY
NEGRO COOK RESCUES LITTLE
HAYDEN REYNOLDS FROM
DROWNING

Little Hayden, the four year.old
son of Mr., and Mrs. II. I'll.
Reynolds happened to an accident
Wednesday which came very near
resulting in the loss of the child,s
life by drowning. He was play
ing near an unused cistern which
had been covered over, when some
OF the covering which had rotted
gave way and precipitated him
into the water. below. The water
surface was about fiye feet below
the opening, and but for the
presence of mind and prompt ac-
tlon of Georgia. Caldwell, the cook.
and another negro woman who was
present at the time, little HAYDEN
would have certainly met a sad
and untimely death. When the
accident occurred Georgia did not
hesitate a moment, but called to
the other woman so hold her fast
by the feet and she went down
head first and seized the drowning
boy as he rose to the surface.
BY this time other help arrived
and the woman and child were
rescued from their perilous posi-
ton. 1t was a brave act ON the
part of Georgia Caldwell, and
many people are wearing Carnegie
medals to-day, presented for deeds
performed that were less heroic.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS AND OFF,
GALS VISIT STARKVILLE WEDNESDAY
MEET WITH CITIZENS AT COURTHOUSE AND DISCUSS DEPOT PROJECT
PROSPECTS ARE FAVORABLE FOR NEW
UNION DEPOT

the meeting had taken a different
turn from what he expected; that
he supposed it was to be an execu.
tive meeting of the railroad com.
mlssioners before which the rail.
road officials were called to appear;
that the question of building u Un-
ion depot involved dollars and
cents and that there were many
conditions that would confront the
railroad authorities before the mat
ter could be determined.
Division Superintendent Eagan
of the Illinois Central said that
there were physical facts that both
roads had to consider which would
be gone into later; that his road
would do anything reasonable and
possible, that they have no depot
here now but one thing, the citi
zens OF Starkville could depea d
upon; that when1the | G did build
depot, whether it be Union or
otherwise it would be ample in ev-
cry respect to fill all needs and
would be credit to the road and
the city.
The last speaker Mr.. D. A.
Saunders made strong plea for
the Union station. He cited the
fact that Oktibbeha shipped more
cattle and probably more hay than
any other one county in the state
and that the railroads received
enough business from the town 10
justify them in considering our re.
quest for better depot facilities.
At The conclusion of Mr.. Saun
ders speech Chairman Daniel after
thanking the large audience for
their attention and the College
Band for the music furnished an
nounced the meeting adjourned
The audience was perhaps the
largest that had ever assembled in
the court room, many having to
stand during the proceedings. A
large number of ladies greeted the
occasion.
Among the railroad officials pre-
sent were Division Superintendent
Pigford, of the M. & o. and Supt
Eagan, of the | G. with their en-
glneers, secretaries, attorneys, etc.
Capt. John ID. Mclnnis, General
Claim Agent of the M. & o. who
is we'll known to many Of our cit
lzens, was also of the party.
After the meeting a number of
citizens accompanied the members
of the railroad commissioners and
the railroad officials to the grounds
where the proposed depot building
is to be located. The grounds we're
looked over and the various locat
Ions discussed and President Shep.
ard of the commissioners announc
ed that final meeting of the com
mlssioners and officials would be
beld in jackson on Feb. 10.
