MATTHEWS is DEFEATED.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. SIP. E. Mat
thews, candidate to succeed himself
as a member of the board of prison
trustees, has been defeated for that
position by L. j. Stone, of Tupelo, by
a majority of about 1,600 votes. This
is conceded by Mr.. Matthews in tele-
phone message from oxford, his home,
where he has kept a careful count of
the returns from the counties cOmpos-
ing the Northern district.
On the race of early returns from
last Tuesdays democratic primary
Mr.. Matthews election was indicated,
but later Stone gained ground, over
took and then outstripped the Oxford
man.
Mr. Matthews was appointed prison
trustee by Gov. Brewer more than a
year ago to succeed Col. Leroy Taylor
who resigned on account Of i'll health
He has made one of the most efficient
prison trustees in the history of that
department, and it is said his defeat
is due purely to factiOnal politics, his
record has been a clean, honorable
one, and his advise and actions on the
board has resulted in many things be
ing accomplished for the good of the
penitentiary department.
Mr.. Matthews, by the way, IS the
only candidate who offered for re-elec
ton to a state or district office who
went down in defeat. j. F. Thames
chairman of the penitentiary board
and who was appointed by Gov. Brew
er to succeed c. c. Smith, was elected
by a large majority over his opponen
in the primary on August 3.

Yes, mother, l will be there in a

down from the fence and ran into the

Jelly upon the hill to Mrs. Turner's
house-it is for her sick brother
Nell put on her hat, took the jar OF
Jelly and set out down the path to the
outskirts of town. But she had gone
only a step when she stopped to see
what Mr.. Edmonds was doing in his
neighbor's yard. A bit further on she
peeped into the open door of friend
and caught sight of the dinner table,
about which people were seated, then
she passed baby carriage full of
bundles, only to go back and slyly
open every package to see what 1t
contained.
AS she went by the grocery store
big Jar stood outside without any lid.
Down went Nell's head to see what
was inside over every fence she
peered, into every yard she peeked so
that it was very late by the time she
left the jelly at Mrs. Turner's and set
out on her way home. Over the hill a
storm was coming fast. The dark
clouds came rushing up on gusty blows
that shook the trees and frightened
Nell so much that she started off on a
run. Getting half way down the hill
she struck her foot against stone
and fell sprawling, hitting her nose
sharply against a big stone.
| But when she struggled to her feet she
found everything looking odd-all was
strange. The village had vanished and
in its place was fiat plain with huts
, of straw, in which queer people with
long noses were living. Nell could see
dozens of them running about-men,
women and children. All had ugly,

Dear Betty Brown: l am seventeen
years old and a handsome young man
is very much in love with me. Every
time he sees me he asks me to marry
him at once, but l will not do this, as
| do not think he has money enough.
l like pretty clothes and jewelry, and
want to marry a man who can give
me these things.
The young man is of good family,
and is steady. let him call whenever
he wishes, and have told him that l
like him very much. He never goes
with any other girls, and he does not
want me to go with any one but him,
yet | want to have good time. Am
acting correctly? Doubtful.
You are sure what you want, aren't
you? Many girl of extravagant ten
denotes has discovered after marriage
that saving was an impossibility to
her. If you feel that you cannot econ
omize or do without the pretty things
YOU desire, of course you are doing the
right thing in refusing to marry
man who cannot give them to you.
Have you ever thought, though, that
marriage frequently means as much
| economy for the man as for the Wo-
man? 1t may not be jewelry that is
| his particular form of extravaganza,
and he may not be dude, but there
are other things probably as dear to
him as your finery is to you. You
see. then, that you wouldn't be the
only one who was making sacrihce
| Of course, there is only one thing
that will help you to make such a
sacrifice cheerfully, and that thing is
love. Since in your case it seems 10
be so so hard for you to give up the
things you like, | don't believe that
your regard for the man would stand
the test of marriage. You like him
and that is all.
If you are not engaged to him there is
no reason why you should give up your
other boy friends. Cannot you explain
the matter frankly to him as you have
to me?

Adoice to Girls
By Betty :Bropn

Dear Betty Brown: A girl friend
and l are seventeen, and We both love
the same man. He seems to think
more of me, but she went with him
first. Must l take him away from her
if he wishes? Helen.
Why, Helen, you act as if the young
man would be deprived of seeing your
girl friend forever when he starts go
ing with you. Let him come to see
you if he wishes, but show him that
you realize that he has left the other
girl by suggesting occasionally that
he should call at her home.
l do hope you can manage to keep
good friends with both of them, and
| know you won't be so foolish as to
deliberately monopolize the young
mans attentions.

PREMIUM LIST COMPLETE.

Hazlehurst, Miss, Aug. 31.-The list
of premiums which will be given at
the prosperity fair to be held at Crys-
tai Springs in November has been
completed and trophies are offered for
the best displays of agricultural prod
10<Ss Live stock, hogs, horses, pastry,
This fair will attract attention of
nearly every farmer in the county and
also many will be represented by ex-
hibits
Last years fair was a success from
every standpoint, and this years pro-
gram promises to eclipse all former
efforts. Display space is being rapidly
taken up, and a greater interest is be-
ing manifested than in former years.
The farmers of this county have paid
more attention to the raising of live
stock for the past three years, or
since the advent of the boil weevil,
than ever before. Blooded stock has
been brought in and many farmers OF
the North and West have been at
tracted here by the short winters and
the easy manner of raising grain crops
Silos have been built, large meadows
have been planted, and little or not
cotton is raised.
Three cars of cattle were shipped
from here this week, and there have
been several cars of hogs shipped dur
ing the year.
Copiah county farmers are also pay
ing special attention to dairying. AL
ready there is one town on the |. G
railroad in the county that ships over
500 gallons of milk daily, and this
amount is being increased each month
The one-crop idea is a thing of the
past in this county. Farmers are di
versifying their crops, and have learn
ed not to depend entirely on cotton.

DRINK MORE WATER
IF KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take Salts for Back
ache or Bladder trouble
Neutralizes acids.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like humps Of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean elogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, SO
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia- water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

and cook it until it forms thick strip.
Pour it over ice cream and place a
