SAW MILL COMPLETE-we own
and have operated a frst-class saw
mill complete with boiler, capacity
25,OOO- boiler of $50 h. p. and mill
rs h. p, located at Colby, Miss.
We have stopped the manufacture
because of the long distance from our
home office. This mill complete cost
$1,000 three years ago and it is now in
complete working order. 1t can be dis
mantled and the various parts can
easily be sold in our best judgment
for $1,000. We are willing to sell this
mill complete for $1,000, and will buy
in return from the purchaser at least
$4,000 to $4,000 of hard and soft
wood lumber at the market prices
and pay the difference in cash.

ADD TWO STATES TO LIST.
Believed Mississippi is Threatened
With Epidemic.

Further spread Of the live stock
foot and mouth disease caused the
extension today of the federal quar-
antine to two more states, Massachu-
sets and Iowa. Reports to the De-
partment Of Agriculture announced
the discovery Of the epidemic at
South Attleburg, Bristol County.
Mass, and at Pamell, Iowa. the first
case west Of the Mississippi River.
Cattle, sheep and hogs now cannot
be moved out Of Michigan Indiana.
Illinois Ohio, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, New York, Massachusetts, or
Iowa,
In addition to the states already
quarantined Mississippi is believed to
be threatened with case at Como,
where it is reported a herd owner
himself has contracted the disease.
The federal authorities are advising
state officials to impose stringent
quarantine against infected farms.
land even to prevent children from
leaving the farms to attend school.
Horo was expressed today upon the
receipt Of no reports of new eases in
Indiana and Michigan that the cpl
Gcmic there has been placed under
control On the other hand, numerous
cases were found in Lancaster Com-
~ Pa, and in three more counties
In Illinois.
The spread Of the disease makes
certain an increased cost of putting
down the epidemic. II would not sur
prise officials Of the cost would be-
nearer the 100000 expended by
the German government TO eradicate
the disease from among its cattle a
few years ago than the 100000
spent by the American government
in fighting the 1908 outbreak Of the
disease. The expense of having in
speetors trace the various shipments
from infected centers will be very
large. Ten new inspectors were rush
ed today to Wisconsin, Iowa and
Massachusetts, each for duty in the
respective states.
Department officials have suggest
ed to the promoters Of the Royal Cat
tie Show to be held at Kansas City.
Mo-, this fat that the even should
be postponed.

NOT FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
State Veterinarian Makes Report on
Disease at Como.

There is no foot and mouth disease
at Como, Miss, according to an expert
report sent TO Commissioner Of Ag-
riculture H. +. Blakeslee this morn
ing by Dr. E. M. Ranck, state veteri-
marian, who FASTENED to Como yester-
day when it was reported that several
suspicious cases had developed at
Como. Dr. Ranck telephoned Mr..
Blakeslee that a number of cows ex-
amined showed evidence of suffering
from some affliction Of the mouth, but
none of them had diseased feet, and
stated very emphatically that the dis
ease was not the foot and mouth dis
ease which has created so much alarm.
Commissioner BlakesIee was great
ly relieved when he heard from DR..
Ranck and at once informed Governor
Brewer, who was equally relieved.
The commissioner Of agriculture
and commerce of Mississippi does not
believed there is any foot and mouth
disease in the state, and has given in
structions If any cases at all suspic-
GUS develop that he be Immediately
notified. Precautions will be taken TO
prevent any animals suffering from
the dreaded malady coming into Mis-
sissippi. Commissioner Blakeslee de-
clares that there is nothing so far in
the situation to give anyone in Missis-
sippi any alarm.
DIR. J. A. Herman is now en- route to
Como from Birmingham, being sent
there by the government, and efforts
the being made to reach him and tell
him Of the results of DIR. Ranck's visit.

CAPT. FRANK BURKITT IN CRITI.
CAL SHAPE.
Ad'ices Las Night Stated That There
is no Hope for Recovery.

Ad'ices Las. Night Stated That There
is no Hope for Recovery.
Much surprise and regret was ex-
pressed here Saturday afternoon, says
the jackson News, over the news from
Oklahoma that Capt. Frank Burkitt had
been stricken with apoplexy, and was
in a critical condition.
A long distance telephone message
at midnight stated that no change had
been shown in Capt Burkitt'S condi-
ton during the night, and the attend
ing physicians hold out little or no
hope for his recovery.
Only one week ago Capt. Burkitt
was in Jackson attending the State
Fair, and seemed to be enjoying his
usual rugged health and spirits. He
came to the capital to attend the Bilbo
speaking at the State Fair, and was
among those who occupied n seat in
the grand stand on that day.
Capt, Burkitt's Career.
Capt. Bmkitt was born July 5, lS43,
near Lawrenceburg, Tenn, In 1857 he
entered the school of Prof. Watkins
at News Ferry, Va, where he COM
pleted his education. In 1861 he en-
listed in the Confederate army with a
Tennessee cavalry regiment, and
reached the rank of captain before the
surrender After the war he taught
school in this state and Alabama, read
law, and was admitted to practice
1872. but was never actively engaged
in that profession.
For many years Capt. Burkitt was
editor of the Oklahoma Messenger, held
various local and county offices at that
place, and achieved considerable dis
tinction as leader of the radical
element in politics. He was sent to
Jackson in 1890 as a member Of the
constitutional convention, and advo-
Gated a large number of radical and
drastic features for the new organic
law. He had previously served two
terms in the legislature, and was we'll
known over the state.
In 1892 Capt. Burkitt deserted the
democratic party and led the populist
organization which was then being
formed in this state. He was known
far and wide as "the bell wether OF
populism," ran for vice-president on
the midlle-of-the-roa ticket, and was
candidate for governor on the popu-
hist ticket in 1895. During the admin
istration Of Gov. Vardaman he came
back into the democratic fold, served
1 IN the lower house of the legislature
dugiAa the Noel administration, and
was elected to the state senate in
l191L
Ca1ls. Burldtt was grand master Of
Masoas in 1879, and chosen as CRANE
commander Of Knights Templar in
19Os.
As legislator Capt. Burkitt wal
knows a. one Of the watch dogs Of
the tleasury' having vigorously op'
posed many appropriation bills. He
was thice married and has wife and
-four children.

m Memoriam.

IN qie small hours Of the morning
OF Segt. 10th, the death angel visited
the home and carried away our dear
friend, Mr.. F. j. Lewis.
His death was sudden, but not UNI
expected, as he had been suffering Tor
several months with heart trouble, but
had not been confined to his bed. Ev-
erything was done for him that loving
hands could do. In the summer they
carried him to Allisons Wells, in the
hope that his health would be better
and also carried him to several doctors,
but all to no avail.
But one who doeth all things well
said thy course is ended, thy race is
run. He had almost reached his three
score and ten years. He leaves a wife
and daughter, also foster daughter,
several grandchildren to mourn his
loss. To all those sorrowing relatives
/ would say look to your Father il
Heaven, He alone can comfort you.
He was born and reared near where
he died and had many lifelong friends
who feel that they have lost true
friend.
His remains were borne by loving
hands to Mt. Olivet church, where the
funeral services were conducted by his
lifelong friend, Rev. H. L. Scar
borough, and afterwards to the grave,
there to await the resurrection morn.
A FRIEND.
