Grown in Mississippi Edition.

Early in October the Herald will
issue n special edition. "Made-in-Mis-
sissippi" and "Grown-in-M Mississippi"
has been the slogan in the State and
the Southern Paper Co., situated in
Moss Point, has made arrangements
to furnish this Office with the paper
on which il will be printed. This
paper is made in Mississippi out of
sawdust and other things that wero
thought TO be worthless around the
mill where so much of our southern
pine lumber has been prepared for
market.
This issue will be devoted entirely
TO the best interest of the people Of
our city and county by advertising to
The world what a wonderful county
we have and what is in it, and what
can be produced from the soil.
We will print large number Of ex-
ira copies which will be widely cir
culated in the surrounding territory,
and il will be the best medium through
which to let the people know what
you have,

morning, as stated above. For this
reason, jurors and grand jurors sum
moned for the first week Of the Cir
cult Court Of this county will not be
required TO attend until the morning
Of Thursday. October 22nd. The dock
ct for the Circuit Court at this time
Is exceedingly light, as conditions
seem 10 have affected litigation. In
addition to this, the most important
cases on the docket, as the Herald
understands, have been compromised
or settled, 80 that it will probably not
take more than one week to dispose
of all Of the cases upon the civil
docket. The criminal docket is light
er than usual also, and, while two
weeks are allowed by law, it is not
believed that much time will be re-
quired in order to dispose Of all the
criminal cases.

CIRCUIT COURT.
Session viii Begin Thursday Morn.
ing, Oct. 22d.

The next term Of the Circuit Court
Of this county IS fixed by law to meet
on the third Monday Of October, which
is the 10Th day Of that month. The
legislature Of the state in 1912 fixed
the meeting Of the Circuit Court Of
Kinds County for the third week Of
September. and fixed the term Of the
court for five weeks. The same act
Of that legislature fixed the time FOR
holding the Circuit Court Of Yazoo
County for the third Monday Of Oc-
tobcr, 10 last for four weeks. 1t secr1s
now that only four weeks elapses be-
tween the third Monday Of Septem-
Der and the third Monday Of October.
During the years 1912 and 1913, or
the two years Immediately following
the passage Of the law, five full weeks
elapsed between the two dates nam
cd, and there was no conflict in the
holding Of the court in the two coun-
les. During this year, however, only
four full weeks elapse between the
dates named, and il follows that the
last week Of the Circuit Court Of
Kinds County and the first week Of
the Circuit Court Of Yazoo County
conflict. In other words, as the law
now stands, the two courts would be
in session at the same time.
The Herald is advised, however. by
attorneys, that the matter is not at
all serious. as It can be easily solved
either by the Circuit Judge adjourn
ing the last week Of the Circuit Court
Of Kinds County, or postponing the
first week of the Circuit Court Of
Yazoo County. In this way no con
flict arises, and it seems that under
the law the two courts can adjust
themselves. The docket OF the Cir
cult Court Of this county at the next
term is exceedingly light, there being
only about thirty cases on the docket
for trial For this reason Judge Hen
ry has directed that the Circuit Court
of this county convene on the morn
ing OF the third Monday Of October,
which will be the 10Th day OF that
month, and that thereupon the court
will Immediately stand adjourned UNI
til the following Thursday, or Oct.
22d. It is understood that he will hold
tn Kinds county court for three days
during the last week Of this term, as
cases have already been set for trial
on those days.
II follows that the Circuit Court
here, instead of beginning on Monday
morning, will begin on Thursday

HAS BEEN SETTLED.
Satisfactory Settlement of Case of
Gunst VS.. Cumberland Tele-
phone Co.

The suit Of Ralph Gunst ct al VS..
Cumberland Telephone e. Telegraph
Company and the Hattiesburg Trac-
tion Company, the Herald is advised,
has been settled. The exact amount
Of the settlement has not been made
public, but it is understood that quite
large sum was paid the heirs as a
compromise. The Herald is advised
that about ten thousand dollars was
paid. This case grew out Of the death
Of young Cyril Gunst, who was a son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Gunst, Of this
city. The young man was employed
by the Cumberland Telephone Com
pany at Hattiesburg, and, while in
the discharge Of his duty, was killed
by coming in contact with an electric
wire Of the Hattiesburg Traction
Company. Messrs. Barbour e. Henry
of this city, were employed by the rel
atives Of the young man to bring suit
for his death. The suit was brought
in Yazoo County because it was the
home OF the relatives of the dead boy,
and the court here obtained jurisdic-
ton because the Cumberland Telephone
Company has an office here. 1t seems
that, under the law, where two de-
PENDANTS are jointly sued, the court
having jurisdiction of either one of
them would have jurisdiction Of both,
The young man was nearly eigh-
teen years Of age at the time Of his
death, and was an exceptionally
bright, energetic and attractive boy.
He had many firendsN " Y2zoo City,

Yazoo City herald. [volume] (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1878-1976, 1914-10-02

who were shocked to learn Of his
death. This is especially true be-
cause Of what the Herald understands
to be the most culpable negligence Of
both the Cumberland Telephone Com
pany and the Hattiesburg Traction
Company in maintaining wires that
were death traps, and in maintaining
them at place where employees would
necessarily come in contact with them
while engaged in their duty. Young
Mr.. Gunst was inexperienced and did
not appreciate the danger, and was
directed to go to that spot where the
deadly wires had been maintained for
two years.
The Herald notea with pleasure
that the case has been settled upon a
basis satisfactory to all parties, and
that the necessity of trial has been
obviated.

2. b. Powell Shoe Store.

Remember that the war is going ON
but the Powell shoe store is selling
their shoes at prices that were on be
fore the war began. When in the
city, drop in and get your shoes for
the family before the new stock is
all gone. You might have to pay a
little more later. for the price will
surely be advanced If this war goes
on. In the Powell Shoe Store they
have just finished opening up their
fall and winter shoes, which are all
in the latest patterns in every line.
House shoes, dress shoes, fancy shoes,
in fact, there isn't anything in sub
stantial footwear can be found in this
store for men, women and children.

Mr.. Henick is a member of the

5000 Of these large posters and sold
them to its members at a low price,
and they have been posted up in all
the cotton growing States by these
members at their own expose. Such
widespread and patriotic liberality is
seldom witnessed in any association.
Mr.. Henick deserves the thanks of
our people. His liberality in pushing

Death of Mr.. George Wilburn

Death always brings a shock, but
when it comes to one who is Just at
the noontime of his life with every
prospect bright to spend the evening
of his life in the loving helpful ser
vice of those whom he loves, it is a
double shock. Sunday morning the
family awoke as usual, and each one
went to their task little dreaming
that Mr. Wilburn was looking after
the things for the last time.
He went to his room to await the
call for breakfast and he must have
felt faint and laid down across the
bed. Death was near and with his
impartial but sure hand snatched the
spirit of one who was most needed.
Mr.. Wilburn was the son of the late
w. w. Wilburn. who came to this
county among the first settlers and
"They have shown us the wss,aAsass -
is easier to walk because they have
gone before and shown us how"
He was married to Miss Alice Pep
per, SO years ago, and took his bride
to the home in which he was born,
there to live in prosperity and happi-
ness to the end. To them were sent
five children, three daughters were
still in the home nest when the final
summons came.
When quite young he joined the
Baptist Church at Black Jack, and
has been one of the most devout and
consistent members, taking an active
part in every effort that was made
for the uplift of his community, fin
ancially, socially and religiously.
His neighbors were his staunchest
friends and the closer one was to him
the better they loved him. AS i'll
health kept Mr.. Wilbur from many
of the activities of life for two years
before his death, his words Of advice
were sought and always carried
weight. A devoted husband, kind
and loving father, a friend in whom
one could trust has been removed and
his place is made vacant but because
our natural eye can not see through
the veil and understand things omni-
potent, cannot follow with our petty
vision, the determining end. Shall
We say that this life is ended? No,
there is an inner and upper life which,
to those who are faithful, is true and
real. AS the external life, which is
fashioned here, so the eternal life is
positioned there.
Monday his body was taken to Black
Jack Church, followed by a broken
hearted wife and daughters and de-
voted son, Mr.. Gwynn Wilburn, of this
city.
i Mr.. w. w. Wilburn was in South
Carolina and did not reach home until
Tuesday. There was large atten-
dance of relatives and devoted friends,
who tenderly laid him to sleep till the
Judgment. The service was solemn
and impressive and many there who
were in tears but they did not weep
for one who was lost, but as one who
had gone over before, for Mr.. George
Wilburn.
Lived for those who loved him,
For those who knew him true,
For the Heaven that shines above him,
And the good that he could do"
