greater than We expected" declared
President ]. L. Enochs OF the Missis-
sippi State Fair, after a round OF the
grounds and buildings.
"T am particularly pleased with the
live stock and poultry sections for
which there are more entries than we
have ever had before, and more live

That there is a great display OF live
stock on hand is attested by the fact
that additional quarters to these pro

1t would appear 10 an uninterested
observer that it is going to take
a few deaths to put a crimp in the
glee Of the speed maniacs who op-
crate automobiles in the city.
The mayor and city commissioners
have issued proclamations and threats
against the speed manacs but for all
the good it does they might as well
have been writing on the sand That
speeding takes place at all hours OF
the day and night in the city and
on nearly all of its streets is well

fines collected for this than has been

are nearing the three score and ten

mayor to see that this practice is
stopped before someone is killed.

PRAIRIE VALLEY NOTES

Prairie Valley, Feb 1O.-The wealth
er is again pretty and springlike. Our
farmers are taking advantage of it,
and all hands are turning the soil.
Most of the oats have been sown. Some
may have to plant over as the recent
freeze very likely killed those that
were sprOuted.
our community seems to have
caught from Ardmore the spirit of
progression and many improvements
are scheduled for the near future.
Louis Probstle is soon to begin the
erection of a new Munger gin at the
old mine site. This will be a great con-
yenieuce to our farmers and will be
a paying proposition.
Wood Herndon, We understand, will
soon begin the erection of concrete
store house opposite the Prairie Valley
school house. He will also put in a
blacksmith shop and wagon yard. Mr.
Herndon will carry a general line OF
