Splendid Display Witnessed
By Biggest Crowd In City's
History.

Charmed.

The crowd that watched the display
of fireworks last night was almost
one-third larger than that which as
sembled on the river front Wednes-
day night. This was a pleasant dis
appointment to the business men who
feared the poor exhibition Wednesday
night would have a tendency to injure
last nights attendance.
The crowd last night was enthusi-
astic over the entertainment, which
was considered one of the best of its
kind ever given in Southeast Mis-
souri,. The pyrotechnies we're better
than Wednesday night and The display
continued longer.
The river front was throngad short
ly after c O'Clock last nIs1tt and every
reserved seat was occupied. An hour
later many of the streets Leading
down to the river were thronged With
people who were unable to get desir-
able eosltioLs along the river. Some
we're in faggies, others in windows
and hundreds were on top OF hod@es
The courthouse yards, which afford
ed a splendid view of the river, was
filled with people, and the steps lead
ing down to ThenIis street were so
crowded that it was impossible to
either go up or down.
TIL throngs remained until they
were signaled good night" from the
two barges, and when they marched
away from the river, the street cars
were almost stormed by those who
lived out in the suburbs. Every street
leading from the river was crowded
with people walking home.
Business men, who tried to estimate
the crowd, said it was larger than
the one which witnessed the dis
play Wednesday night, Last nights
gathering was estimated at between
1000 and 10000 people, which was
probably the largest gathering ever
to assemble in this city.
The floating torpedoes proved un-
usually interesting. Several OF them
were lighted and then set afoat in the
river. The waves rushed over the
little light, but it would come up
again, still burning.
There were series of colored rock
cts that burst skyward, then dIved IN
TO the river. and spouted up again and
exploded.
The battle of the wershlp' produced
a rather bewildering effect. The two
,,-ces, when the r.ctcts were shoot
ing, took on the apnea 'ance OF gen
nine warships in action. The halls OF
fire literally rained on the two oargcs.
and when the battle sltbsided, a
cloud of smoke obscured the uncloud-
ed moon.
The "waterfalls" which proved the
chief attraction Wednesday night, was
repeated last night and with a rluch
better effect. This huge explosive
lighted up the river to the britiiancy
of day. The silver-white streams OF
powder poured over the beam OF one
of the barges and made a genuine
waterfalls. 1t was easily the most
striking feature of the entertainment
hut there were many others that were
spectacular and won applause.

What Causes Wrinkles?
What's The Remedy?

Stop to consider what produces
wrinkles and sagginess of skin. Pre-
mature aeing, mal-nutrition, etc. cause
the flesh to shrink, lose it's youthful
plumpness and firmness. The skin
then is too large for the flesh under
meath; doesn't fit tightly and snugly
as it used tot wrinkles or Says.
1t must be plain that to tighten the
skin, make it fit the face perfectly in
every place, will effectually remove
the hateful wrinkles and bagginess
This is easily and harmlessly accom-
plished by dissolving an ounce OF
powdered saxolite in a half pint OF
witch hazen and using the solution as
face lotion. The ingredients you
can get at any drug store. The re
suits are surprising. The skin imme
diately tightens up becoming firm
and fresh as in youth. Every wrinkle
and sag is affected at once.

that our tent is properly decorated.

brighten our tent just as much as
possible.
Now let Dawson citizens get be-
hind the movement in earnest. To-

One of the most important cases
disposed of during the term was that
against William Livingston, a we'll
known citizen of the county, who was
charged with cheating and swindling.
The jury returned verdict of guilty,
and the defendant was sentenced to
serve IL months in the changing or
pay a fine of $500. Mr. Livingston
appealed for a new trial, and it will
be heard before Judge Worrill in
Cuthbert July IA.
Mary Carter, white woman
charged with a misdemeanor, was
found guilty and sentenced to ten
months or fine of 800 and costs.
Her attorneys gave notice of an ap-
peal for new trial.
J. w. Brown, a white citizen who
was under a bond of $500 for the
alleged sale of liquor, failed to ap-
pear for trial, and the court ordered
his bond forfeited.
A number of other cases of minor
importance, in which pleas of guilty,
convictions and acquittals resulted,
were disposed of. In every instance
in which a conviction was obtained
the defendant received a heavy SEN
tence, the fines running from $100 to
$500.

Captain r. J. Redding Dead.

The sudden death of Captain r. j.
Redding, which occurred at Griffin,
will carry sorrow to all Georgia and
the south. Captain Redding died
Thursday morning between midnight
and 6 o'clock, without struggle, of
acute indigestion. He retired that
night in his usual health. For II
years Captain Redding was superin-
tendent of the State Experiment farm
at Griffin. He had been agricultural
writer in the Constitution for some
years, and had perhaps done as much
as any man in Georgia for the ad-
vancement of the farming interests in
this section.

IS SEEKING
FRESH AIR

Frank Hand, the hop head, \ arrest.
ed several days ago on a charge Of
petit larceny BY the city and later
turned over to the county, is no more
a guest at the Hotel de County Bastile.
Some way, Frank didn't like the loca
ton He didn't kick on the menu, as
serting that it was liberal and in every
respect satisfactory, but most assured
" he did not favor the locality and
was not particularly in love with his
suite of rooms and didn't especially
care for the other guests.
But he is gone, leaving only his name
on the register to bear witness to the
fact that he was ever here, or rather,
there. It was right rude Of him, at
that, to leave without telling his host.
Berry Williamson, farewell. The fact
Is that the keeper was no more in love
with him than he was with the keeper
and surroundings. 1t seemed that at
once mutual feetlng had been estab-
iished. When il was found therefore
that only few days in Jail could be
the length of his term, in the event Of
his conviction. and being already
caught up on his associations, the Jail
er turned him loose yesterday after
noon and told him to go out and get
a little fresh air. AS far as is definite
" known, he is still going in search OF
that fresh air The devout hopes Of
the county officials are that he will
continue to seek it in regions far re-
moved from Chickasha and that the
hunt will never lead him again within
the confines Of Chckasha
