Granny and Reddy Fox had gone up 20
the Old Pasture to hunt. and had taken
pains to pass right by the dear Old
Briar Patch. so that Peter Rabbit would
see them. They hoped that Peter would
take the chance and go over to tho
Green Forest, and he did. as you and
know. Now. Granny and Reddy didn't
really expect to catch anything in the
Old Pasture, and they were not disap-
pointed when they failed to Reddy did
not forget the sly hint of Blacky tho
Crow that il they came back to the
Green Forest early they might. they
just might. happen to meet Peter Rab-
bit on his way home and catch him for
their dinner
So they started back for the Green
Forest early, and as they passed the
dear Old Briar Patch they looked all
through it to make sure that Peter had
not returned. They saw little Mrs.
Peter, but no sign Of Peter, and they
looked at each other and grinned. and
1t was a sly. hungry grin.
He won't be expecting US back SO
soon. and We ought to be able to sur
prise him." said Reddy, IS they entered
the Green Forest.
II hope SO. l certainly hope So" re-
piled Granny. "It is a disgrace to our
family that he should have succeeded
so long in foollng us.
Very softly they stole through tho
Green Forest, watching, listening. and
constantly testing the air with their
keen noses. Suddenly they heard tho
voice of Sammy Jay in the distance.
and they knew by the sound that sam

they heard Blacky the Crow, and
Blacky sounded just as excited.
They've found the place where Bus

Reddy. and his voice sounded JUST az
excited as the voices of Sammy Jay
and Blacky the Crow. Let's hurry
over there
Now Old Granny Fox is not easily ex-
cited, but this time she was. You see.
she really was very anxious to know
Just where Buster Bear was. Ever

1t is estimated that practically 80
per cent Of the qualified voters OF
Forrest county will have paid their
poll taxes by 9 o'clock tonight, when
the office of Tax Collector HARRISON
closes for the present fiscal year.
While figuers on the number of per-
sons who have paid in thus far are
not obtainable. the county officials
say that more poll taxes have been
paid UP to this time, than were on the
same day last year.
At the City Hall, practically every
body in the city who plans paying
municipal taxes before March 1, has
"cashed in" the collectors office re
ports. The place was somewhat de
serted today, following the big rush
of last week and the preceding one

however, and the officials there have
hardly had a chance to draw Ions
breaths all day. Not only the pol
taxes, but the property taxes have
been coming in in large quantities.

Will Not Close

RUMOR THAT MILLS ARE TO BE
SHUT is OFFICIALLY
DENIED.

Absolute denial that the j. j. New
man Lumber Company is preparing to
close down its plants in Hattiesburg
and Sumrall on account of the de-
moralized ocean traffic, making it i'm
possible to export it's lumber, was
made by officials of the company to-
day.
"The company has no intention OF
curtailing it's present production at
this time"
That was the official statement is
sued this afternoon when the company
was asked regarding the rumors.
For two or three days, it has been
reported in lumber and commercial
circles that the big plants are to be
closed until the ocean transportation
! facilities become better. Officials Of
the company said today that If Ger
many succeeds in blockading the Eng
lish ports, as she is planning, botf
the lumber and the cotton industr!
will suffer, but that lumber will be af
fected no more than other export com
modities.

Neruiest Men Are
Located Here by
Chief of Police
THEY USE BENEFITS VACANT
HOUSES AS A "SkINNiNG"
RESORT.

OF all the pure and unadulterated
nerve ever possessed by man or beast,
Chief Bennett, of the Hattiesburg po-
lice department thinks he has found it
in the black persons of James Moore
and Elias Ward.
James and Elias were in Police
Court charged with gaming. Half a
dozen other negro youths previously
had been hailed into court for gam
bling at the same time and place. but
they plead guilty. Not so, James and
Elias. They said they hadn't been in
the game and consequently would pay
no fine.
And this is why the chief thinks he
has made a discovery:
Over in northwest Hattiesburg, back
of the planning mill, there is a little
house, unoccupied for a couple oil
weeks, which is owned by Chief John
Bennett. of the Hattiesburg police de
partment. 1t Is a we'll known fact that
the house Is owned by the chief. Con
seouently it should have been immune
as a place for law violations.
But John Moore, ELIAS Ward, ct ais.
didn't look at it that way. Once
negro wants to play a game OF "Geor
gia Skinning," he would just as soor
use the vacant house of the chief o
police as any body else's, So accord
ing to the testimony OF several wit
nesses, full fledged "Skinning game
was launched there a Sunday or tw'
ago.
II wasn't so much the card gam
that the chief objected to, as 1t wa
the way in which they treated hi
building. The enthusiastic negroes
becoming chilled at the fastness Of tn
game, decided they wanted some fire
They looked about the house, bu
found nothing to burn. Then som
one decided that the mantle piec
would make excellent material for tn
omen fire place. No sooner though
than accomplished. The mantel wa
torn from it's place, broken into sma
, pieces, and fed to the flames.
When Chief Bennett discovered thi
, he determined to try to find who wei
p the great nerve possessors-the grea
. est in Hattiesburg, he said. 1t toe
!. him couple of weeks to do 1t, but I
did. Both of the negroes were fine
IS each for gaming, and an addition
4 fine for trespassing.
