United Charities

A meeting Of the members of
the United Charities of the city
met Tuesday morning at the cir
cult clerks office to devise ways
and means to, continue the work
of the organization. Winter is
coming on and there is not a dol
lar in the treasury.
The frequent demands made
for help compels the organization
to ask the public to make a libe-
raj donation to the fund which
will be used to relieve the poor
and afflicted as occasion demands.
This is an obligation that the
people of Tupelo cannot avoid
and we are glad to say that few,
if any, are disposed to avoid it.
The people are liberal and the
necessity for help is only to be
pointed out to them and they re-
spond with a ready hand.
Unless one comes in contact
with those who call for help they
do not know the dire distress and
suffering which is sometimes
found at our very doors. To re-
lieve these people should be a
pleasure, certainly it is our duty.
A list will be circulated for
your contribution. Give what
you feel able to give; let it be
much or little.
Should you fail to see the list,
either hand or send your contri-
button to Mr.. F. Johnson at the
First National Bank, who is the
cashier of the United Charities.

Runaways too Frequent

The frequent runaway OF teams
within the past ten days indl-
Gates that somebody is disregard
ing the ordinance which requires
that horses attached to vehicles
shall not be left without proper
hitchine. 1t is not necessary to
repeat what everybody knows to
be a fact, that a loose horse go
ing at break-neck speed with a
vehicle and no driver is danger
Gus.
Women and children find it
difficult to find a place OF safety
from such vehicles and, as has
been said before, i. becomes a
matter of "the quick or the
dead"
In the recent cases there has
been several delivery wagons.
In their haste to get around the
drivers have failed to properly
hitch their horses. A fine prop
erly administered would be one
of the most effective ways OF
putting a stop to what has De-
come a nuisance. On Spring
street recently a little child was
run over by dray wagon, but
those who saw it did not believe
that the negro driver was wholly
to blame. There was considera-
BILE excitement over this incident,
however, and should more serl-
GUS damage result from the neg
ligence of these drivers we are
not prepared to say just what
would follow. All horses will
run away, and knowing this to
be a fact, they should be hitched.

Millinery Openings.

The fall displays of each of the mill
inery establishments of the city were
placed on exhibition Thursday morning

new styles set before them. The most
fastidious can now choose with entire
satisfaction as to variety and complete
confidence in the authenticity in every
style the season offers.
