mother Of the two little ones for

Am BATTLE BROUGHT OUT
LARGE. AND INTERESTED CROWD

A circus day crowd gathered 10
1.-THE vicinity Of the Whitwortt
College campus Monday night to
Iview the sham battle announced by
the Stonewall Guards. Company b /.
of the State Militia, Captain Storm
commanding: and at the opening
fire. men. women and children came
hurrying from adjoining streets
with the spontaneity displayed by
the followers of the Piper Of Ham
elm.
In the new and partially complet-
ed brick dormitory Of Whitworth
were stationed the defense, COM
manded by Lieut.. John Herring,
and the two attacking pIatOons
were officered by Lieut.. Lucas
Powell and Sergeant Williams, G.
Penn. respectively. Captain Storm
acted as umpire.
The swiftly recurring flashes Of
blank cartridges at the windows of
the fort were answered by flashes
as bright and noise as loud from
the attacking party-a truly war
like exhibition.
After the battle the soldiers
all able. happily, to leave the field
unassisted, fell into line and march,
ed to the Armory: the automobiles
drawn up at tire curb got into ar
tion, and the ticket Office of the
Airdome was all but overwhelmed
by the crowd eager to attendsthe
picture show given for the benefit
Of the soldier boys.
The moving pictures included
films made at the recent State En-
campment at Natchez and were
highly entertaining.
The report that Capt. Storms
war-like spirit had found vent
in mobilization Of his men for
European slaughter is not true; and
neither was the story correct that
Lieut.. Gov. Bilbo was announced to
speak. The great mass Of our
people who turned out to see the
boys just showed their appreciation
of home men and enterprise and of
Capt. Storms laudable and persist
ent effort in maintaining military
company in Brookhaven.

Seven head of three-hundred dol
lar mules died in short order in
Washington county last week, and
their loss was due to eating bad
imported corn. so Dr. w. S. Hess
ley stated from u consultation with
another veterinary surgeon, for
which purpose he was called Satur-
day. DR.. HossIey, who recently
received communications from the
State agricultural department in
the A. & M. College to investigate
forage poison cases as far as he
could at all times said that they
had no doubt but that these fine
mules on one of the large planta-
tions in the della, had died. due to
eating an inferior corn feed, which
had been bought elsewhere and
brought into the state. 1t is a
pretty serious matter when we stop
to think that there are eighty head
of other fine mules right IN the
same locality, and it will staEd the
planters we'll in hand to try aud
avoid forage poisoning in every
way possible. said DR.. Hossley.
He said that these big healthy
mules took sick and most Of them
died within half an hour, so he
was informed. Their loss will run
over two thousand dollars to their
owner.
DR.. Hossley says that as far as
he can learn. Warren county stock
is all in fine condition, but it will
be we'll to watch carefully all feed,
especially at this time Of the year
and see that forage poison does not
get in on the stock unnoticed.
