Avoid Ruts

A contributor to Farm and
Fireside says: Il believe in
originality. and don't believe in
buying a new buggy or new sort
of bride or fine hat just because
Jones bought one and guarantees
it. Nor do | believe in planting
what all the other farmers are
going to plant. Too many farm
ers farm by the pattern around
them, and often it is a pattern
that is both faulty and obsolete.
| want to experiment and find out
for myself what certain soils and
ways will do; and before | buy
something that is all the go |

Know Your Business.

Mr.. Vanderbilt pays his cook
ten thousand dollars a year, my
boy, which is a great deal more
than you and | earn-or at least
a great deal more than we get
because he can cook. That Is
all. Presumably because he can
cook better than any other man
In America. That is all. 1t
Monsieur Sauceagravi could cook
tolerably we'll, and shoot a little,
and speak three languages tot
erably well, and keep books
fairly, and sing some, and under
stand gardening pretty well, and
could preach a fair sort of SER
mon, and knew something about
horses, and could telegraph a
little, and could do light porter's
work, and could read proof toll
erably we'll, and could do plain
house and sign painting, and
could help on a threshing ma
chine, and knew enough law to
practice in justices courts OF
Kickapoo township, and once run
for the legislature, and knew
how to weigh hay, he could not
get ten thousand dollars a year
for it. He gets that just because
he knows how to cook; it wouldn't
make a cents difference in his
salary if he thought the world
was fiat and went around its
orbit on wheels, There is moth
ing like knowing your business
clear through, my boy, from
withers to hook, whether you
know anything else or not.
What's the good of knowing
everything. Only the sopho-
mores are omniscient. Bob

Petition for Pardon
To the Honorable Earl Brewer,

To the Honorable Earl Brewer,
Governor of Mississippi:
We, the undersigned. would respectfully show
to your excellency that Clara McGaughey Shan-
nom was at the Nov. term. 1910. of the Circuit
Court of Lee county, Mississippi, convicted of
manslaughter and sentenced to a term of ten
years in the state penitentiary.
The said Clara McGaughey, up to the time of
this trouble has borne a most excellent reputation
as a peaceful and law abiding woman and there
is considerable doubt about her guilt. The crime
was committed in a drunken negro row during
the term of Circuit Court. She was indicted for
murder and tried the next day and convicted of
manslaughter. Since her incarceration she has
made a most model prisoner and we believe she
has been sufficiently punished for her offense if
she is guilty of any crime. wherefore, we ask you
to grant her a pardon for the same.

A BIG HOLIDAY
Famous Shows to Be
Here Tuesday, Oct. II.

All day Monday the busiest
man in town was MI. J. C. Tracy,
advance agent of Sparks Worlds
Famous Shows. He was like a
will-o'-the wisp /; now here, now
there, making contracts and ar
ranging for the coming OF the
great show.
The grounds known as the ball
park were leased from @. A..
Gaffey. and he was several times
heard to make complaint that
the grounds were hardly large
enough to accommodate the show
properly.
The Sparks shows. as they will
appear here this year. rank
among the leading shows of the
country. 1t is claimed to have a
solid train of twenty monster
railway cars, almost four humid
red people and over two humid
red animals, both foreign and
domestic.
The show employs over fifty
people in the department of pub
licity alone, and from now on
until show day the country for
miles around will be given a
thorough billing, and if the
weather is at all favorable Tues
day, Oct. 18th, Tupelo will have
to entertain an immense throng
on that day.

Police Secretary Walters, asked II
II were true that the commissioner
was going for a trip on the Barlum,

only fooling. He believed 1t was the
StackhOuse, or some such boat, which
they were going on board. Secretary

was destined might later be declared
q nuisance. This 10 q point Of law
on which the supreme court has never

MAYOR SUGGESTS
new CAR LINES
Tells Transportation Men That
Several Should Be Begun As
Soon AS Possible

Mayor Marx discussed tentative
plans for extending the street car
service under municipal ownership
before the members of the Detroit
club, Saturday noon,
in the Hotel Griswold.
The mayor suggested that an outer
belt line ought to be constructed as
soon as possible to take care of the
outlying residence and factory dis
tricts; that the Forestave. line should
be extended east to the city limits:
that a Iorth-and-south crosstown line
crossing Woodward-ave. at about
High-st Is badly needed.
The mayor did not discuss the ID.
u. RS Independent attitude in the
matter of constructing extensions as
provided for in the compromise agree
ment. He told his listeners that
proper street car extensions would
come with municipal ownership.
Regarding steam transportation, the
mayor stated that he had ben CORE
spending with the officials Of the Bal
timore 4 Ohio railroad. urging them
to extend their line to Detroit. he
will go east shortly to confer with
the officials if the answer to his last
Is satisfactory.
