Oyez! This will be the original live
ly burg next summer
Pilgrims to the village will find
much to amuse and lead the mirth-
evidencing smile across SNUG counte-
nances. There will be lawn socials.
rummage sales, tea parties and divers
other forms of harmful amusement.
! 1t is authoritatively reported that a
syndicate of local men have purchas-
ed an excellent site in the most popu-
lar end of town for the purpose of
constructing quoits speedway, and
devotees of the horseshoe singing
at a real go-to-the-devil speed.
Baseball? Shame on you, Jim Ed
wards. for mentioning such frivol-
GUS subject at so serious period in
our lesson.
Know We not that the magnuts of
the Northern league placed our base
ball frame in the fires of Greater
Things? Ken We not that said frame
was carefully and completely Gre
mated?
Our Northern league baseball pros
poets were given a do-the-business
dose of dope and took the count early
in the MILL
And so, during the lonely hours Of
Forthcoming hot summer days, when
the what-not of memory has long
since ceased to daily with joys of
yore. We'll have to take a shot in the
arm and proceed to the golf links in
wild endeavor to coax hilarity from
the green.
Perchance, few Of the dusty pill
grims that come our way will wander
out to the sarcophagi Of the Flicker
tails and place thereon q worshipful
tribute.
And, then, the chilly blasts of q
prairie winter will sweep across the
burial ground, whitening the floral
evidences of verdant memory and
sending the all but defunct baseball
bug to his alternating covers.
Comes summer again, and we will
go about the joys Of living, sans crab
bing. sans baseball, sans everything.
Still is an Opening.
These reports that emanate from
Minneapolis anent the new Northern
league SAVIOR of just a little joy. They
give our yarn to the effect that 1t will
be an eight-club circuit the official
hand clasp, and assure us that there
still is good sized opening through
which we can slip with pennant-
seeking team.
The Grand Forks and Fargo fran
chises still are held open, and it is
declare what shall be done.
1t is certain, however, that the
Northern will be an eight-club affair.
y siN-clnb league, such as was map
ped out in the first reports from the
center of activities, is practically an
impossibility.
SO while the uncertainty dope is
flying back and forth, we've renewed
our hope in life and are clinging des-
eprately to the wee chance that Grand
Forks still will be alive next sum-
mer.
Introducing a Literateur.
AS 4 writer of baseball dope, Frank
Chance is a good aqtor. Despite the
fact that he no longer tries to tell the
New York Americans what to do, he
still is playing the game on a news
Japer diamond.
His latest offense is to dilate anent
the worlds series. He declares that
the Braves have a better chance to
lip it over on the Athletics than the
iiants, and, then, he makes a home
.un by declaring that the Connie
Mack crew cannot help but win. OF
course, lie tells why, and doing SO re-
fers to Mclnnis, Barry, Collins, ct al.
Chance makes a safe hit, however,
when he says it depends largely on the

The Crops.

The most spotted crop that has ever
been raised in Noxubee county will be
gathered in the next.sixty days, some
of it in a much shorter time. The old
way of picking cotton and finishing up
the crop after Christmas has passed
and the chances are it will never return.
While showers have fallen On a lucky
few in such a generous manner as to
insure an also average crop, even in
spite of the weevil, there r many
more who will not fare even as we'll
and some who will suffer the most per-
feet failure ever recorded in the county.
In spite of the hot dry weather, the
most favorable for the fight on the boil
weevil, the pest is reported in great
number in almost every section of the
county. The failure of the crop, though
is not on account of the weevil and
the damage the pest has done is not
near what it would have been less fav-
orable conditions.

Death Of NJ. c. B. DOrrOh.

The community was greatly
shocked last Saturday afternoon to
hear of the sudden death of Mr.. c. B.
DOrrOh. He had been at the Bank
of Macon that morning, Acute in
digestion coupled with Brights
disease was the cause Of his death.
Mr.. Chastain Bracket DorrOh was
born near MashuIaville on July Is,
1851 and spent his boyhOOd in that
section. In 1882 he was married
to Miss Willie Edwards. About
1897 he was made deputy chancery
clerk of Noxubee county and about
1900 he become bookkeeper of the
Bank of Macon. In 1904 he was
promoted to the cashiership of that
bank and has been the leading fac
tor in it until his death. In BUSH
ness and other circles he was one
of the most prominent citizens Of
the county and his loss will be keen
ly felt all over the county. He is
survived by his widow and four
children, Messrs, Clinton B., Herbert,
Evans and Elisha Dorroh. He was
inferred in Odd Fellows Cemetery

have been requested to give myFea.
sonsfOr supporting Hon. Harden Brooks
or Congress. Leaving all private
feelings out Of consideration and deal
ing with the question as a public one, /
am for MI. Brooks for the following
reasons:
We are too well acquainted with
Harden Brooks and his career as q
citizen, lawyer and public official to
need to recount that career here. It
is enough to say that he has made good
in every way, has made a marked and
distinguished success. As a district at
torney we have never had a better one.
In ability he ranks high and he is ag-
gressive and energetic and resOurceful.
served in the legislature with him and
he distinguished himself there.
In congress | think his ability and
aggressiveness and resourcefulness, in
fact all the qualities that have distin-
guished him here, will win him distinc-
ton and influence IN congress. Inshort
| think he will be successful in congress
and a very useful congressman to the
district.
In the matter of the cotton claims
alone, in which u people are greatly
interested. his legal ability and resource
fulness will be OF great value in assist
ing u people to get money justly due
them.
If the government adopts q system
Of loans or guaranteeing loans to farm
ers, with Harden Brooks in congress-,
Noxubee county and all the district
would be sure to get their share.
In working out the problems that con-
front the Democrats in congress he
would be of great value.
But in addition to the value he would
be to the county in congress, there are
other reasons why I, as a citizen of
Noxubee should support him. l regard
it that | owe 1t to my county to stand
by my c%ountyman.
1t does not do a county any good in
the opinion of others to fail to stand by
its home men If we get the reputa-
ton OF not standing by our own men
we destroy our own political influence.
Twenty years from now we may have
a man we know ought to be governor
and the fact that he comes from Noxu-
bee may put him out # the running.
His Opponents will say: "He can't
carry his own county," His friends in
the delta or elsewhere will say: 1--WE
must pick another man. He is from
Noxubee and they don't stand by their
own men there" We will cut of all
hope of our coming generation for poll
tical preforment
| think we ought to forget our per-
sonal feelings and think only Of our
county, and q vote against Mr.. Brooks
looks to me very much like a vote
against Noxubee. l think the voters
Of the county as a unit ought to stand
by him. A. T. DENT.

In a letter received by the publisher
Of the Beacon Ehis week from DR.. F. A.
Thompson, he says that the report cur
rent in Macon that he has lost heavily
in an unfortunate investment, and has
suffered heavy financial losses, is very
much exaggerated. He has absolute
faith, :he says, in the integrity of the
company in which his money is invest
ed, and hac "never dealt with a more
just and generous set Of men than the
officers have been to me-" What hurt
him worse, he says, is that with all the
years Of business experience that ne
has had, that he should be regarded as
an ''easy mark"
