Expected to Resign on Account of FeebleneSs - Gained Strength and Twenty-four Pounds by Taking VinoI.

Corinth, Miss: - q am a city tax collector and seventy-four years of age. l was in weak, rundown condition so that l became exhausted by every little exertion. My druggist told me about Vinol, and 1 decided to take it. In a week 1 noticed considerable improve ment; l continued its use and now I have gained twenty pounds in weight. and feel much stronger. I consider Vinol fine tonic to create strength for old people. "-J. A. PRICE, Corinth, Miss.
 As one grows old their organs act more slowly and less effectually than in youth, circulation is poor, the blood gets thin, the appetite poor and diges- tion weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthener and body builder for old folks because 1t creates a good healthy appetite. strengthens digestion, enriches the blood, improves circulation and in this natural manner builds up, strengthens and invigorates feeble, rundown, nerv- ous and aged people, and if it does not do all we say, We will pay back your money.

New Baptist Minister Here.

Elder J. R. G White, the new min. ister of the Baptist church. accom-, panied by his mother, his wife and three children, arrived Friday and preached his initial sermon Sunday night The church was crowded to the doors, chairs were broughtin from the Sunday-school room, and still many could find only standing room. The sermon was strong effort and the congregation was more than well pleased with the talented speakers discourse. The ministers of the other churches accorded a graceful and brotherly tribute to the new minister by abandoning services and urging their members to worship with the Baptist congregation.
 The Times joins in a hearty wei. come 10 Elder White and his inter esting family, and wishes for them all success and happiness in their new home.

Fisher whose popularity as landlord is not con. fined by the bounds of this state changed hands Monday morning, MT Fisher stepping out and Mrs. Nena Landers taking charge.

 MT. Fisher has moved to his home in the northern part of the city, and his time will be full occupied for a while in building additions to his dwelling and making other improvements which will, when completed, provide him with one of the coziest and most convenient homes in the city.

HUGHES TIMES.

It has been several weeks since we have been represented in your valu- able paper, so will try and give you few happenings of late.
 We have been having quite lot of rain recently, which has caused our roads to be very muddy We owe un- sinted praise to Judge Rolfe and MT Taylor for the beautiful roads they made through this section of the county, if they did say we only had COW trails when they came over. They fixed fine auto roads and we thank them so much. They also graded the streets in town, which adds much to both looks and convenience. The farmers are just about through harvesting the golden grain in this vic nifty.
 School is progressing nicely. Both patrons and pupils are highly pleased with Miss Andrews as teacher. Mrs. Lynch, of Marianna, visited her daughter, Mrs. Futrell, last week in town.
 The box supper given at the school house Thanksgiving was an enjoyable affair. A neat little sum of Sl5. 50 was realized, which goes to pay on the or gan. There is also talk of having a Xmas tree here. Let's don't just talk, let's have it.
 Say, "Kronic Kicker" don't give all those oceans away. Come over and help me eat walnuts and hickory nuts, and just slip few oceans in that "pocket."

BURGLARS CAPTURED.
Thieves Who Entered SwartZ's Store are Now Behind the Bars They
 Confess Their Crime.

Robert Brown, Will Hammond and Walter Crawford, three colored youths, are in jail for burglarizing the dry goods establishment of George SWartZ, Jackson street, on the night of the 2nd inst, mention of which was made in last week s Times
 The clue which led to the appre- hension of the thieves was furnished by as triing thing as a pair of socks. On Monday Street Commissioner George Dooley noticed that the socks worn by one of his crew, young negro named Robert Brown, were in pretty bad shape, and asked the boy why he didn't put on another pair In the afternoon Brown appeard wearing a pair of handsome silk hose, a circum- stance which set MT Dooley to think ing, as he was reasonably sure that the negro could not have legitimately come by such costly hosiery. He at once surmised that these socks must be portion of the loot from the Swartz store, and went quietly to work to investigate. By means knownonY to himself he spotted the criminals and located the stolen goods
 Procuring a search warrant, which was placed in the hands of Constable Tom Johnson, the dwellings of James Thomas and Hattie Kyle were search ed. In the former there were found two pairs of pants, one dress shirt, one pair of supporters, one sweater, six pairs hose, and suit case. left there by Walter Crawford, and from the Kyle woman's house were recoy- cred one pair of shoes one dress shirt. one work shirt, one suit clothes and a suit case, left there by Will Hammond
 The stolen articles were positively identified by MT. Frank Swartz, man. ager of the footed store, as the prop erty taken from his place the night it was burglarized.
 After their arrest the prisoners ad- mitted their guilt to Constable John- son, in the presence of Commissioner Dooley, acknowledging that he "had 'em;" that they had committed the burglary and had the goods.
 A preliminary hearing was had be- fore Squire Sam Hodges Wednesday morning and the culprits remanded to the grand jury under $500 bail, failing to give which they were committed to jail for trial at the March term of the circuit court.

A Bismarck Prophecy.

Bismarck, soon after he entered the
Prussian service OF state. made an
extraordinary speech in parliament
that Prussia could never be great I'M
I'll she had had three wars. one with
Denmark, one with Austria and one
with France. Older heads told him
he was talking nonsense But as soon
as he came into power the wars began.
Denmark had no king: the success
sion was disputed. Prussia offered
her candidate for the throne. Den
mark refused TO accept him. Prussia
went to war under the pretext. Aus
tria was told by Bismarck that If she
helped Prussia az this time she should
receive a part Of the Danish province
OF Schleswig Holstein. which had be-
lcnged to Prussia 200 years before.
Austria helped TO fight Prussia's bat
ties on land and sea. but when the
war was finished ana Denmark. hum
bled and conquered. had TO give up
Schleswig- Holstein. IL all went to
Prussia. no part Of II TO Austria. The
present empress OF Germany. William
Ills consort. sits beside her husband
upon his throne because she was
princess OF Schleswig Holstein and
could help TO make the people of that
province contented to remain under
Prussian rule.
In 1866 Francis Joseph Of Austria
declared war against Prussia to force

promised. Bismarck had tricked

Italy's Position.

France Is now guarding the Mediter-
ranean for England Italy could help
and the work would still be better
done, so England thinks.
Bismarck declared that Prussia gave
Italy her independence by forcing Aus
tria TO give up to her Venice and Lom-
hardy. But ii was by Bismarckian
trick which prevented Napoleon Ill
from doing this for Italy himself. The
Italians are grateful to France and Ma
poleon III. They feel no debt of graft
tude TO Prussia. They detest the very
name OF Austrian.
An Austrian army officer could not
hope TO spend Il day in Rome without
being openly insulted on the streets
An Italian army officer in Vienna
would meet the same fate. Today in
Rome the queen OF Italy is sadly
mourning the humiliation which Aus
tria is melting out TO Servia. the land
of her own race and people Servias
queen If alive today would be the sister
to Italy's queen. The old king OF
Montenegro was the father of both.
Italy will not help Austria and Ger

otherwise. Italy will forsake the triple
alliance and join the triple entente IL

checking the encroachments Of Rus

three powers were bound 10 support
one another in certain contingencies.
Its terms were made more definite in
1887, although its exact terms have
never been divulged. The alliance was
renewed in 1902 and In 1907. The Pc

June II, 1914. The world has been
