WITH TRAGEDY IN HIS MIND

Worst Fears'Were G%roundless.

Smithson said a thunderstorm al
ways reminded him Of this absurd in
cident in his early married life. He
said 1t happened when their first baby
was only two months old. 90 he might
be pardoned II his solicitude exceeded
his sober judgment. He was at his Of

derstorm broke which crashed enough
to brighten anyone, SC when the. phone
rang and his wife's voice TREMENDOUSLY
asked: George, dear, can you come
home right away" he said, yes"
quickly, o paused to question, but
frantic with misgivings, grabbed his
hat and almost ran through town to
his home.
Arriving all breathless, he found his
wife awaiting him on the porch, her
face the very picture of distress.
Rushing up to her he said anxious
ly: Why, darling, what's the mat

THE FAIR.
The Big Thing in Mississippi This
Week.

Jacksonville big thing in Missis-
sippi this week, barring all other func-
lions or enterprises, will be pulled off
in the good old County of Neshoba.
This is the annual Neshoba Fair,
sometimes called and by the Nesho.
bans considered the worlds fair" of
Mississippi, which is in some respects
the greatest and most enjoyable event
of its kind during the year. This is
especially SO during election years, or
the summer Immediately preceding

will be no exception to those proceed.
ing. The Neshoba Fair is staged at
Neshoba, which is a community To-
Gated in the lower part of the county,
quite in the interior, but not too re-
mote to draw an attendance from a
half dozen adjoining counties, includ-
ing Attala, Scott, Newton, Kemper,
Winston, Madison and even Lauder
dale, which also abuts on it's extreme
southeast corner.

A Good Shot.

A San Franciscan, who had been
hunting in the vicinity of Lake Tahoe
without bagging any game, came upon
a mountaineer who was feeding a
Gagged wildcat he had caught the day
before.
How much will you take for that
beast?' he asked.
The captor said S., and the MONEY
was paid over.
Now" said the Nimrod, "tie one
end OF a strong cord to that tree and
another to the cats neck, and then
open the door Of the cage"
This was finally accomplished and
the fierce animal stood stratning at its
tether.
The sportsman, who was watching
the exercises from the interior of the
cabin, leveled his rife across the win
dow sill, took careful aim and blazed
away. The wildcat gave a joyful yell
and disappeared in the forest. The
bullet had cut the rope.

Lexington.-An expert accountant is
working on the books Of the West
Bank & Trust Company, and has not
yet finished. The investigation has
gone far enough to show that the
bank is solvent, that it's assets will
pay all the depositors in full, and
about half of the face value of the
stock. 1t is now practically sure that
the bank will be reorganized, and that
the full capital stock will be made
good, under the supervision of the
bank examiner, and that the bank will
resume business in the near future,
with a full and satisfactory showing
from the bank examiner, that, as reor-
ganized, the bank is in an absolutely
good condition. West has the business
to pay a bank well operating on small
capital and under efficient manage
ment, such as will be absolutely as
sured for the future.

Coahoma County Supervisors Are In
Standpat Attitude.
Clarksdale.-John Neuveen & Co.,
outside purchasers of 500, 900 of
Coahoma county road bonds, will
stand squarely up to their contract or
else the board of supervisors of the
county will know the reason why and
will make it exceedingly interesting
for the firm named. Some time ago
this firm purchased the bonds named
and the county now holds their certi-
fed check for $4,000 as an evidence Of
good faith. Now comes the company
and says that on account of the Euro
pean war and consequent stringency
in the money market 1t wants to be
released. Immediately from purchasing
the bonds, or, rather, from paying for
them. The board Of supervisors, az
an important called session, at which
the matter was thoroughly gone into,
have decided that Neuveen & Co. will
not be allowed to back down from the
bargain, and Brooks Miller, acting
county attorney, has been instructed
to take whatever legal action in the
premises he may deem necessary. The
board is determined that Neuveen &
Co. shall stand by the bargain, and
Mr.. Miller will probably bring suit for
the full amount unless a full and
prompt settlement shall be made.
