Capt. Fraak Burkitt. the "sage
OF Chickasaw" and one of the
states really grand men passed
to his reward at his home at
Okelona last week. For many
years he had been identified with
the press of this state having
been the editor OF the Okolona
Messenger and one OF the most
brilliant, forceful and versatile
writer OF this section. In politics
he had been, for many years, a
recognized factor. He was known
ss the ''friend of the common
people,. He was a wise, able
and honorable legislator and
possibly did more for the tax
payers OF the state in protecting
their interest in appropriations
than any MAJ that ever served in
the legislature. He was alert,
resourceful, faithful, courageous
and true to every trust; he was
in deed the peoples friend. He
could not be bought; he lived the
simple life and held his friends
by his fidelity to duty and loyalty
with hooks Of steel. His sxperi-
encs made him of great value
which, coupled with his many
good qualities Of mind and heart
and native ability makes his death
a distinct loss to the affairs of this
state. In days gone by he was
the true and loyal friend of the
editor and her husband and his
passing away gives US an unut-
tersnle sadness.
Thousands of hearts in Miss
issippi are bowed in silent grief
because Capt. Frank Burkitt is
no more. Ia war, in peace, in
official and private life he WAS
the sane great hearted anG sunny
souled friend.
May the great Father of US all
bring peace to those who were
near and dear to him.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
BRIGHTER.

Everything looks better from a
business viewpoint. While there
~ very little market for cotton
yet it looks like the price may 60
up. Big banking concerns seem
to have agreed upon a pool Of
over one hundred millions and
this large fond will he available
soon. IL looks certain that our
mills viii have to have the usual
amount of about six million bales
and, while we have no ships to
amount to much. in which To
chip our cotton 10 the old coun-
try, or to South American ports
yet we believe that these millions
of spindles will not all be lei,
idle these countries will find
some way 70 get our cotton over
there. II %, ve are safe. II we
can get A much rs eight cents
for cotton we are all right. In
fact il we get smaller price we
will have more money in North
Mississippi than we have had in
many years. The people owe
less for supplies this year; they
have learned a lesson Of economy
TO some extent and, il we can
have another war or two and a
stroke of the boil weevil. we will
have a new order of things here !;
we will be forced TO quit cotton
and the sooner the better. II
our people had quit cotton twen-
~ years ago and had developed
along better business lines, we
would now have the greatest
state in the Union. But raise
cotton we must though starving
every year. The outlook is brigh-
ter for business and the lesson
that We have learned will not
soon be forgotten. At least a
few people have seen they will
be forced 10 live at home an
other year.

THE SECOND MUNICIPAL
PRIMARY.

The second race for Mayor and
Concilmen was interesting. The
vote was intentionally close
even up to the close. Mayor
Adams won by only ten votes.
His vote was i3s while b. B.
Russell received i29 while Avent
for Councilman III. Lawshee, 1875.
and Beaniand 1873. Thus electing
Adams, Avent and LAwshee.
The race was peculiar from
many view points. Mayor Adams
opposed the commission form OF
government but the voters tang
led up quite a number Of notions
10 the effect that the power plant,
water works etc. would be placed
in new hands il certain men were
voted for and hence the race
became very interesting. The
funny part Of It was that each
side claimed the other was align
ed with that crowd that desired
abe change.
The cleo Ion is over. All we
care about Is that the new officials
will give Oxford n clean and
business like administration. We
need the tar "a low as possible

GERMAN SURGEONS
 TALK ABOUT WAR

BERLIN, Nov. 24.-The German sur geoas have begun to talk about their experience in healing the wounded in this war. Payr of Leipsic university, who is acting as surgeon.general to the Saxon army recently delivered an address at one of the improvised hos pltals on the line of the German com muncations, in which he gave much interesting Information on this sub ject
 Payr pointed out that the balls used in shrapnel shells produced much more dangerous wounds than rife bull lets They carry into the body frag- ments of clothing a corresponding quantity of dangerous germs; and they are much more likely to be lodged In the body. There was supparation in 70 to 70 percent of cases. The same danger is still more serious with wounds from fragments of shells. It was found too, that this war has been especially marked by the great num- Der of such wounds Not only do shell.fragments carry germs into the body with bits of clothing, but the dangerous gases from the shrapnel ex- ploslon often adhere to the fragments and balls in sufficient quantities to poison the wound. Lock-iaw is often produced by wounds ot this character; but by vaccinating patients with te- janus serum the German surgeons have materially reduced the ratio oi deaths in such cases since the first weeks of the war.
 Bombs Especially Dangerous.
 Especially dangerous are the wounds caused by fragments of bombs thrown ! by aylators. Even very small frag ments often produce much more dan eerous wounds than much larger piec l es of ordinary shells. These small fragments penetrate very deep into the body, cutting through all blood vessels; and thick masses of muscle are cut through as with a sharp knife
 Aeroplane bombs also frequentl, 1 cause bad burns.
 So far as simple flesh wounds iron i small.calibre rifles arc concerned Pay found that these heal very rapidly
 In most eases the wounded vert able to return to the ranks within week Of two. Even In cases of ches wounds, where the ribs are not touch ed. healing is usually very rapid, ever

TRY TO
ESTABLISH BASE

ROTTERDAM, Dec. 1.-The Ger mans are working vigorously to re- pair damage done by British warships. at Zeebrugge and are attempting to mount guns to prevent any further attacks, British men-of-war are now standing off zeebrugge, and another attack is expected. Tho Germans are evidently relying to large extent on their ability to establish naval base at Zeebrugge.
 The activity is increasing at Arrasi possibly indicating the direct German drive to the coast. Arras is the cen ter of number of conyerging high. ways one goes #northwesterly to the coast. Another leads northeast through Lens and La Bassee. Another leads toward the coast through Bothuno Numerous others lace the countryside but are of no use unless Arras is held.
