PISTOLS AND
TWO DEAD MEN
Double Killing at Sumner. Third
Man Implicated.

Two more men went the pistol route
last Saturday and thus the list of HON
icides in Mississippi were added to by
that number. lack Denton and a man
by the name Of Wylie engaged in a
pistol duel at Sumner last Saturday af-
ternoon and as a result both were al
most instantly killed. Reports are
conflicting as to how the affair started.
By some it is claimed that a Mr.. Mar
ley, general manager for Mrs. Smith
Murphey, fired the shot that killed
Wylie and it is also claimed that Wylie
only hit Denton by accident. When
Denton realized that he was shot he
whipped out his pistol, altho then on
his knees, and sent five bullets through
| Wylie's body. The shooting took place
in DR.. Bile's drug store and was at
close range, Denton was a brother-in-
law of Mr.. j. Henry Harris of Grenada
and was a quiet, orderly mar and had
many friends.

FRMl, SICKLY CHILD
Restored to Health by Vinol-
Letter to Mothers.

Anxious mothers often wonder why
their children are so pale, thin and
nervous and have so little appetite.
For the benefit of such mothers in
this vicinity We publish the following
letter.
]. Edmund Miller, New Haven.
Conn, says: My little daughter. ever
since her birth, had been frail and
sickly, and was a constant source OF
worriment. Several months ago We
commenced to give her Vinol. l i'm
mediately noted an improvement in
her health and appearance. | gave
her three bottles of Vinol, and from
the good it has done her l can truly
say it will do all you claim"
This child's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from Gods livers,
combined with the blood-making
and strengthening properties of
tonic iron. which are contained in
Vinol.
Vinol will build up and strengthen
delicate children, old people and the
weak. rundown and debilitated. We
return the money in every case where
1t fails.

DIET y HEALTH
HINTS
BY DR.. I. J. ALLEN
Food Specialist
WHITE BREAD.

The ordinary white bread con-
tains all the elements Of nutri-
ton, In r. lrly the proportion re-
qulred by the adult doing ordl-
nary physical work. except per
haps chlorine. phosphorus and
some Of the other necessary
mineral elements, a large part
Of which is eliminated in the
milling process. Il is probable
that an adult could live a long
time on white bread and water
aIone-(the only way to test
the value Of any food, practical
ly, Is by such m~eans)-f Il were
not eaten fresh, and with the
addition Of a pint Of butterml!k
daily one could do the best work
Of which he Is capable, much
better, after becoming adapted
TO the diet than on the ordinary
mixture Of foods, which Is sup
posed TO be necessary to get tho
best nutrition. So that tho
arguments commonly urged
against white bread &c "the staff
Of death" should be modified.
The cases Of men living in Eurs-
pean prisons for many years on
bread and water should be un-
derstood to mean entire grain
bread, wheat or rye. White
bread Is preferable for toast,
but toast has little advantage
over stale white bread, because
while the starch is converted In
to sugar the other elements are
injured by excessive heat.

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
SUCCESSFUL FARMING ON SMALL
AREA
What Efficiency and Pluck Can Accom-
plish.
BY w. B. MERCER,


A striking example of what can be
accomplished on small acreage well
handled came under the writer's observa-
ton few years ago.
A newcomer landed in a small town
in an all cotton section about the time
cotton growing was at its lowest ebb
The farmers naturally were looking for
some new crop to substitute for cotton,
and tomatoes were selected. The people
went wild, and all decided to put in a
large acreage, the newcomer with the
rest. A majority knew nothing about
growing the crop from market stand
point, and less about handling 1T. A
small crop poorly packed of an inferior
grade and miserably handled resulted in
an absolute failure involving everyone
in debt.
The newcomer had just bought on
credit thirteen acres of land, with a
cabin on it, and at the end of the season
he was involved for more than $4,000.
What to do was serious question. Tie
was too poor to move and had not even
the necessaries of life to begin another
season on. Having a good reputation for
honesty, energy and perseverance, ne
detetermined to fight it out.
A Friend to the Rescue.
A business firm offered to furnish him
limited amount with which to start
again A gardener and trucker by ma
ture, he decided to continue this line OF
farming. The previous years experience
had taught him not to depend on one
crop, so radishes, cabbage, beans, peas,
tomatoes, cantaloupes and other crops
were planted on small scale to furnish
ready cash. He also set out straw
berry patch, fruit orchard, planted ear
ly corn. sugar cane and sweet and Irish
potatoes. Everything did well that year,
and the second year strawberries, cab
bage, tomatoes and potatoes were select
ed for main crops, still growing enough
vegetables to supply local demand and a
little to ship when prices We're good. he
shipped nothing but the very best; sold
culls and inferior stuff to local trade or
fed it to stock. He then established
regular line of customers in the nearby
towns and cities, who handled his stuff
at fancy prices throughout the season.
When his name appeared on package,
it sold for good price, while other
growers stuff went to waste for want OF
buyers. In less than ten years he had
paid for the land, wiped out all debts,
built a comfortable home, splendid
barn, etc, and had bank account oil
several thousands.
