jackson, Miss, Jan. 17.-Land own
ers along the Big Black river are
evolving practical plan to secure a
thorough system of drainage for that
stream. The chief of the drainage bu-
reau at Washington has been request
ed to have an inspection made of the
river from the line between Carroll
and Holmes county to the A. & ".
railroad bridge, in the western part of
Kinds county. and if the report on this
inspection is favorable, the land own
ers of the adjacent territory will un-
dertake the work of making the stream
navigable through the organization of
a drainage district, and the issuance
of the necessary bonds. Congressman
J. w. Collier is urging for considera-
ton bill to take care of the stream
from the A.i& v. railroad bridge to its
mouth, a distance of about seventy
miles. f
AT a mass meeting held in Durant,
presided over by DR.. L. s. Rogers. for

more than 100 land owners pledged

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, Jan. IA marriage
is legal in Mississippi even if the cere-
mony is performed in a county other
than the one in which the marriage IL
cense is issued. according to an opin-
ion given today by Assistant Attor-
ney General Frank Johnston.
The attorney generals office has
had numerous inquiries of late from
officials throughout the state in re-
gard to marriage license laws. Among
them was one from w. H. Wallace,
circuit clerk of Tate county, asking
whether a man can procure mar
rage license in one county and marry
in another.
Assistant Attorney johnson replied
that it is his opinion that while the
law contemplates and directs that a
license shall be issued in the county
of the brides residence, and also con-
templates that the marriage be cele-
brated in that county, and while this
is the regular form of procedure in
such cases, yet departure from this
statutory mode of procedure does not
invalidate the marriage, which is valid
and legal in all respects. Continuing.

calling for referendum on food taxes

ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY

Roxbury, Ohio.-"When my little boy
was two weeks old he began breaking
out on his cheeks. The eczema began
just with pimples and they seemed to
itch so badly he would scratch his
face and cause a matter to run.
Wherever that matter would touch 1t
would cause another pimple until it
spread all over his body. 1t caused
disfigure ment while it lasted. He had
fifteen places on one arm and his
head had several. The deepest places
on his cheeks were as large as sill
yer dollar on each side. He was so
restless at night we had to put nit
tens on him to keep him from scratch
ing them with his finger nails. If he
got a little too warm at night it
seemed to hurt badly
I'VE tried treatment and he didn't
get any better. He had the eczema
about three weeks when we began
using Cuticura Soap and Ointment l
bathed him at night with the Cuticura
