An Ornament to Town

The new Ford Garage and SalesHoom
erected on Main street by Mayor James
G.. Horton is one of the handsomest
buildings in the city and shows fine
architectural taste as well as conven-
fence and utility. Its awning of the
marquee type Is specially attractive
and it would be well if all the awnings
in town were of its kind. The building
has a front of twenty-five feet and
runs back eighty feet, and has a capacity
of twenty or more cars, and when the
archway is cut between the back room
and the building just north of it, which
Mr.. Horton owns, thirty or more cars
can be accommodated with ease A fine
plate glass show window adds much to
the beauty of the building. and a con-
crete floor and thorough workmanship
throughout insures stability. Mr., Lie.
Cine was the builder.

Mr.. Alex P. McCaskill, one the old
est and best known citizens of the
county, died at his home in this city at
five O'Clock Monday afternoon. He
had been feeble. due to his age, which
was eighty-three years. for some time
but was on the streets apparently as
we'll as ever, up to a few days of his
death, which was caused by pneumonia.
Mr.. McCaskilDwas a citizen Of Darl-
ington, S. c., but came to Eoxubee
county with his parents at the age of
three years. His boyhood was spent
on the Foote place, three miles south
OF Macon, now owned by Mr.. Watt
Helm. The war came on as he reached
manhood and he went out with the
NoXubee Rifles, which was company F
of the End Miss. Reg. This regiment
participated in nearly all the battles of
Virginia, from Manassas to Appoma-
t0X.
On December 18th, 1865, he was mar
rled to Miss Matilda Pope and had Mr..
NcCaskill lived a few days longer the
golden anniversary Of their marriage
would have been celebrated.
Besides his wife he leaves four chill

THE JACKSON HIGHWAY.

Noxubee made a fine showing
at the Highway convention in
Columbus Wednesday, our dele
cation being the la~rgestone pres
ent. The convention was what
might be called a "Pet-togeth-
er" meeting, bringing together
people all along the route and
showing each section how their
neighbors felt about the move
ment and what each section was
doing in the way of bringing the
great highway through this route.
1t was a successful meeting and
every one attending it came away
with an increased idea OF the
value of the highway and a
stronger faith in our ability to
bring it this way.
The value of this great nation
al highway from the Lakes to the
Gulf running through our coun-
ty is indisputable and great. We
Mississippians are believed by
the great mass Of northerners to
live in one big swamp, fighting
alligators and mosquitoes. If
they knew any thing about our
hill land and our prairies the tide
of domestic immigration would
have turned southwark long ago.
Our resources have only to be
known to double our land values
and add to the prosperity Of oul
people.
The marketing of our products
is an harassing problem; cas-!

Fire Destroys Residence.

Fire at 2:45 Thursday morning de-
stroyed the residence of Mr.. Walter
Conner. The origin of the fire is un-
known but it is suppose to have been
done by an incendiary. as it was re-
ported about two weeks ago that an
ATTEMPT had been made to burn the
building, 1t was one of the oldest
dwellings in Macon but has been con-
siderably added to and improved in re-
cent years. 1t was the home for a
number of years of the family of the
late R. G. Rives and was bought from
Mr.. Rives by the late Charles Hardin.
Mr.. Connor purchased it eight year
ago. Mr.. Connor, who has been living
at his place in the country for the past
year, intended to move back to town
after the first of the coming year.

London.-King Constantine openly
dehed the war party of Greece and
urged M. Zaimis, leader of the peace
party, to withdraw his resignation OF
the office OF Prime Minister.
Zaimis declined TO chaneg his mind
about retiring. and the King immedi.
ately called a council of ministers,
evidently with the object of dissolving
Parliament and delaying the entrance
OF Greece into the war, at least until
another election is held.
Later dispatches from Athens said
the King had nfally accepted the res
lgnation OF the entire Zaimis Cabinet.
1t is hnted that NJ. Venizelos, the
former Premier. is holding over the
head OF the King the probability of a
revolution, and has informed the SOW
erelgn that he can enter the war and
retain his throne or can refuse TO take

The Servian flight into Montenegro

GREEK CABINET CRISIS.

Athens.-Quite unexpectedly as re-
suit OF a debate in the Chamber a
ministerial crisis has broken out, and
the Zaimis Cabinet has rendered It's
resignation to King Constantine.
The trouble started over a bill for
extra pay to army officers during mo-
biliaztion or war. Thereupon a lively
discussion ensued between General
Yanakitsas. Minister Of War, and de-
puties Of various parties.
Finally one Venizelist Deputy, u.s.
ing unparliamentary language, was
promptly called to order and FASTENED
to apologize. but Yanakitsas, ignor'
ing the apology gathered up his
papers in a passion and walked out OF
the hall, saying he had no further
place there.
The session was suspended for Few
minutes amid great uproar. and the
Ministers withdrew to confer In pri-
vate. When the session was resumed
NJ. Venizelos stated that the War Min
lister owed an apology to the House
for leaving the session so markedly
after he had received an amende hon
orable.
