Mr.. Paul Gilmore in the Havoc

Paul Gilmore's latest offering,
The Havoc" is not a problem
play, for the problem with which
it may be supposed to deal finds
its own solution early in the
presentation, and the interest
centers largely, if not entirely,
thereafter in the working out of
the details of the solution.
One must see the play to note
the delicate but effective man.
ner in which the incidents are
pictured and the details brought
out. Mr.. Gilmore is we'll re-
membere1 by local theatre-goers
as an actor of merit and dis
erection, who adds to an intelli-
gent conception Of his art a
smoothness and finish that ap-
peals to the judicious, while
bringing out the strong points
Of his stimulation. He makes of
the character of Craig just what
the author wishes him to be.
Miss Kathryn Hutchinson as

pleasingly to the demands of the

While the question of handling
the waters of the Mississippi is
an open one, a suggestion from
a novice could do nothing more
than muddy the waters The re-
cent experience in handling the
waters of the Charges river in
Panama suggests the idea that
great volumes of this surplus
water of the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys could be diverted from
its natural course and stored in
reservations along the route and
made to conserve a most useful
purpose. The waters of Niagara
river are diverted before they
reach the falls and great enter
prises are run by the power thus
created. Il is true that at few
points along the route there are
falls with sufficient height to

SECURE TRAINING SCHOOL
Bonus Has Been Raised, The Lot is
being Graded and Work on Build
ings viii Soon Commence.

Through the efforts of Mr..
Asa w. Allen a sufficient sum
has been raised to insure the To-
cation of a training school here
for boys. It will be recalled that
several weeks ago Mr.. G. w.
Chapman, of Paris. KY, visited
Tupelo for the purpose of feeling
the pulse of our people on the
subject of locating a training
school here for boys. After
canvassing the town he submit
ted terms upon which he could
come and take charge of the
school. Mr.. Allen went out with
the subscription list and succeed
ed in raising the amount stipu-
lated by Professor Chapman as
necessary to put the school on
foot. Professor Chapman comes
to Tupelo most highly endorsed
by leading educators and busl-
ness men of Kentucky and we
feel that he is in every way hit
ted for the work that he under
takes.
Tupelo is we'll located and a
school of this character will be
we'll patronized. There is no
reason why it should not open in
the Fall with all the boys that it
will be able to accommodate.
MIR. Allen is having the lot grad
ed and Professor Chapman will
soon send plans and specifica-
tions of the building upon which
he will ask for bids for construc-
ton.

Tupelo Baking Co.

The Tupelo Baking Company
is an institution in which the
people of Tupelo can feel a just
pride. Few towns of this size
have such an up-to-date and well
equipped bakery as this. The
building has recently been re-
modelled and the latest machin-
cry installed. All the breads are
now mixed by machinery which
is run by an electric motor. A
moulder will very soon be in
stalled and the facility for handl-
ing the steadily increasing busi-
ness will be enlarged. Besides
supplying our grocery merchants
and the local trade, an extensive
business is done with outside

John w. Wallace.

A message from Augusta, Ga.
received here Tuesday morning
announced the death, in that
city, of Mr.. John W. Wallace.
In company with his brother and
a trained nurse, Mr.. Wallace
left here Thursday night of last
week for his home in Augusta.
His physicians and friends
here realized that his condition
was serious and they anticipated
the end within a short time. lr
is a consolation to them as we'll
as the family to know that he
died at home.
John Wallace, as he was famil-
iarly known here, came to Tu-
pelo six or seven years ago to
engage in the cotton business.
For sometime he was the repre-
sentative of Knight Yancy & Co..
afterwards embarking in the
business for himself.
In all of his business transact
ions he was scrupulously honest
and maintained a high standing
and credit in the business world.
He was a good cotton man and
his judgment and knowledge of
the business made of him a most
desirable representative.
Personally, Mr.. Wallace was
most highly esteemed by a large
circle. He was of a genial nat
ure and everyone who had the
pleasure of his acquaintance
could be counted on his list of
friends.
He was never married and
lived in apartments in the Arm
strong building. His suite of
rooms here was the meeting
place for his friends where they
were entertained with Southern
Hospitality. He was fond OF
books and had a splendid library
in which the standard works and
the best of current literature
could be found.
He was fond of music and sang
well. Only occasionally, howev-
er, did he app ar in public. His
personal appearance was striking
and he attracted attention in any
crowd. A few months ago the
fatal malady that fastened the
end appeared and the once robust
form showed the effect of the
disease. 'Insiduously it stole its
way through the life blood that
was once buoyant with manly
vigo~ and Mr.. Wallace became
infrm and his step showed that
he was a very sick man.
His will power kept him up,
however, and only a day or two
before leaving here did he take
to his bed.
In common with his host Of
friends in Tupelo the Journa
deeply regrets his untimely
death. To his family many mes
sages of coincidence were sent

BALL PLAYER ARRESTED FOR
 KILLING MAN

winsted. March 2s.-William NTeli- ous. who killed Edward Wolff in the barroom of a hotel at Millerton, N. X., last evening, was arrested at Copeck, N. Y. during the night, at the homo of his w-ife's relatives, according to word received here, today.
 MeIious is said to have remarked to Wolff that he could blow the 1atters hat off without hurting him. To make good his boast he seized a doubIe-bar- relied shotgun and fired both barrels at Wolff. The charges struck the lat ter, who was sitting in chair, in the head, killing him instantly. Melious then fled to Copeck, where he told his wife what had occurred and said he intended to give himself up. He is we'll known as a ball player through this section, has played on the Win sted nine and was to have joined the squad of the Utica club of the New York State league, today, for a try out. He is about 37 years old and has been married but two or three months.
