The Speaking Monday.

An audience of several hundred peo
pie, including good many ladies gath.
cred in the court house Monday at II
to hear Hon. Harden H. Brooks close
his campaign. Hon. Emmett Cavett
presided and in introducing the speaker
paid high tribute to him as a man,
citizen and an officer. He had known
him all his life and served in the legis-
]ature with him and he commended to
his people as well worthy, their re-
spect and admiration and deserving
their support.
Mr.. Brooks spoke for something over
an hour. The main part of his speech
was similar to his Mashulaville speech
heretofore published in the Beacon,
dealing with farm credits. good roads,
rotation in Office, tn. misuse of post
office appointments, etc. In addition,
however, he spoke of his love for his
county and his home city, Macon, and
how dear to him was the support Of his
friends here at home.
His speech was eloquent, forceful and
logical and was punctuated by enthu-
siastic applause from the audience.
Mr.. A. C. FAINT spoke about thirty
minutes in behalf of Mr.. Gambler and
criticed Mr.. Brooks and the Beacon
and lauded Mr.. Gambler.
Mr.. Brooks rejoined in a ten minutes
speech, in which he good humorously,
rather demolished Mr.. FAINT.
In the afternoon, Mr.. Austin, candi-
didate for chancellor, spoke about an
hour, and Mr.. ]. B. Gully spoke in be-
half of Mr.. Woodward.

such conditions, would be ofmuch
benefit to my farm friends.
Would suggest, as q partial
remedy, that every farmer cut and
shock his entire corn crop; you
will get just as much grain and
then plenty Of roughage to carry
your stock the winter months. It
is stated by competent authority
that the blades and stalks contain
about 40 lper cent. of its value.
Now, if this is true, and I do not
doubt it, the farmers OF Noxubee
could save many thousands of dol
lars in feed bills yearly by harv.
esting the entire corn crop, blades,
stalks and ears, especially, if the
corn is run through q shredding
machine.
This process tears the stalks to
peices, and gets it in shape, SO
there is little loss in feeding. If
you have silage to feed. This corn
stover, with a small quantity Of
cotton seed meal, it makes q bal
ance ration for cattle and dairy
cows that are hard to beat.
l cut about forty acres Of corn
last season - run it through q
shredding machine and got stover
(fine feed enough feed with silago
to winter about 150 head of stock.
This process gives you grain and
hay both on the same land and I
am sure If the farmers once try
this process of saving the entire
corn crop it will soon become a
universal custom.
Try it my friends, you who are
short of hay and be convinced.

To my friends Of Sixth Chancery Court District:
am defeated. The causes leading
to that defeat were: First; There
were a few men throughout the district
who believed that had held the office
long enough.
Second: There were ten banks fail
ures in my district recently, the entire
influence Of which was exerted against
me;
And last, but not least, the Bilbo-
Teat controversy in which my friends
and relatives participated and for which
| was not at all responsible, caused me
to loose heavily in each county.
Although / have done more than any
other one man in the state to place the
ballot for the election Of judges in the
hands of the people, it is little strange
that should be its first victim, yet in
no way am piqued or angered at the
result, but feel a deep appreciation in
my heart for my good friends and sup
porters and no enmity to those who did
not support me. Respectfully.

able. The Herefords brought the best
prices because Of their show ring con-
dition and uniformity. The Angus cat
tie sold at bargain prices and some
Shorthons sold very cheap. too, but
are thsHerefords sold quickly at good,
fair prices. Mr.. Davis, Of Jack, on,
Miss, sold young ten months old bull
off Point Comfort. The bidding on this
young bull was spirited. He brought
$3.50 and was kept in Mississippi.
There was but one purchase made by
a Noxubee county man. Mr.. J. L.
Ormsby bought splendid Shorthorn
heifer.
Clay Robinson commission firm had
a representative present and he urged
everyone to keep their cattle on pas
lures; that prices will very likely be
much higher within sixty days. He
also said that the entire corn belt would
in few years look to US for all their
feeders.
We have wonderful opportunity for
making Mississippi one Of the leading
cattle states in the Union, and the
prairie section leads other sections of
the state in possibilities along this line.
Oktibeha county is pasturing over
7O, 900 cattle for beef this year. Some
day this county will pasture that many
high grade beef cattle and we will still
be growing good crops of cotton.
