SHOOTING IN ITAWAMBA
Pleas Gray Shoots Boss Riley-Dihculty
Over Land Jointly Used-Riley's
Condition Considered Serious

Late Sunday afternoon two
farmers living within a short
distance of each other settled a
difficulty existing between them
by exchanging shots. The par
ticipants in the unfortunate diff
ficulty were Pleas. Gray. man
of about SO years Of age, and
Boss Riley, a much younger man.
Riley rented land from Gray and
lived on the place.
The cause of the difficulty
arose over a pasture which both
used. There was a misunder-
standing about the use of the
pasture and bad feeling arose
between the neighbors. Sunday
afternoon Mr.. Gray went over to
Mr.. Riley's house, so it is stated,
and Mr.. Riley seeing him COM
ing came out on his front veran-
dah to meet Gray. Both men
were armed and Immediately
opened fire on each other. Riley
received a bullet wound in the
abdomen; Gray was untouched.
DR.. Nash was summoned inn
mediately to attend the wound
ed man, whom he found in
a serious condition. About 8
Sunday night Drs. Bonner
nd Elkin were summoned
and went Immediately in an
automobile to Mr.. Riley's house.
After examining the wounded
man the physicians decided that
he had received a very danger
Gus wound, which had possibly
penetrated the liver. They did
all that could be done to relieve
h *. and left him in the care of
his regular physician. Reports
from him furnish some hope that
he may recover, but his condi-
tion is regarded as critical. Mr..
Gray was brought to Tupelo
Sunday night by Sheriff Gregory
and placed in Jail here.

Resolutions of Respect.

Whereas, an All-wise Provi-
dence has seen fit to remove
from our midst our friend and
fellow-member, Mr.. John w.
Wallace, who departed this life
April 18th, 1913, and
Whereas, with a keen sense of
our loss and appreciation of his
many qualities and traits of
character, we desire to record
our esteem for him, therefore be
it resolved by the Tupelo Cot
ton Exchange:
That we deeply and sincerely
regret the taking away in the
prime of his life and in the midst
of his career of usefulness one
who was beloved by us all, not
only for all these characteristics
that make a man, but also for
his many kindly ways, his ever
present courtesy, and his con-
slant wish to regard all men his
friends.
That we tender his mother and
her family our sympathy fer
them in their great loss, and
pray that solace may be afforded
them in their hour Of trouble.
That these Resolutions be made
a part of the Records of his As
sociation and a copy be sent to
his relatives and that they be
published in the Tupelo papers.

FIELD DAY BIG SUCCESS
Ideal Weather, Large Attendance and a
Good Time Had by Al-Tupelo
Retains Possession Of the Cup.

An ideal spring day afforded
the expectant children and teach
ers of the Northeast Mississippi
Association to visit Tupelo IN
vast throngs last Friday to par
ticipate in the events and pleas
ures of Field Day. Excursions
were run by the roads and the
trains bringing the crowd arriv-
ed here practically on time. The
,committees appointed met the
trains and directed the contest
ants to their respective meeting
points.
All the exercises were begun
on time and concluded within the
time allotted for each.
The crowds at each meeting
point were orderly and the best
of order prevailed. There was
no unseemly rivalry and each
contest passed off with all the
contestants coming out with the
best of feeling toward their rival.
The results of the contest for
day were as follows:
Exclamation Sherwood of
INDUS, first and Harrington
Houston, second.
EIocution-West Point, first

The result of the contests was
gratifying to Tupelo as we were
enabled to retain the cup, the
trophy most convicted by the w.
rious schools of the association.
This cup goes to the school max
ing the greatest number of points
The citizens of Tupelo as well
as the association are indebted
to Messrs. Milan and Mullins for
use of the Comus Theatre for the
musical and expression contests.
This was rendered at great Pc
cuniary sacrifice as the electric
theatre could not be operated
during the morning hours.
The visitors expressed their
appreciation of the cordiality OF
the hospitable treatment received
here and returned their thanks
in resolutions introduced at the
various meetings.

publicity would best protect our
stockholders and policyholders
the Directors of the Cotton States
Life Insurance Company have
included in their Bylaws an ord
er to meet every three months
and personally review the work
of the Executive and Finance
Committees.
1t gives me pleasure, as Presi-
dent of the Company, to report
the Directors findings for the
first quarterly meeting which
was held in the Home Offices of
the Company, Tuesday, April
18th, at 3 o'clock o. m. Meeting
was we'll attended. Report from
Treasurer, S. j. High, showed
the affairs of the Company to be
in a most satisfactory condition.
The report of the Finance
Committee was excellent-all
loans having been made with
"gilt edge" securities, average
security being three for one.
We do not believe a Bank in
the State has a body of men bet
ter fitted to pass on investments
than the Cotton States Life
as a result of their financial
management there is not single
weak or doubtful loan all are
good and above criticism.
From the examination of our
Chief Medical Directors Ct. F.
Elkin) work we find that the
policy of this department with
respect to the acceptance Of bus
iness is undoubtedly established
along safe and conservative lines
the business already written
being of the very best quality.
The Secretary's e. f. Archery
report was very interesting as it
gave a history of the Company
since it began writing business,
and showed a record that has
never been equaled by any Life
Insurance Company in the State.
He further states that in all his
experience with companies out
side of the State he could not re-
call any other American COM
pany that had done as we'll dur
| ing the first few months of It's
existance- making special men
ton of the excellent character Of
business written. economy of
management and the efficient and
growing agency force. And
best of all, the eminently satis-
factory cash settlements that our
agents were making.
The State examiner having
reviewed our work paid US this
high compliment: Il have found
practically nothing to criticise-
| do not hesitate to say that the
Cotton States Life Insurance
Company shows promise of long
life and being one of the great
and solid institutions of the
South"
The President said "The first
quarter of the Cotton States
Life has passed into history; our
enterprise is no longer an exper
iment, we have now become an
established Life Insurance Com

Their advice has been of great
value in the conduct of the Com
