Oatmeal
The National Dish

Nearly every American eats oatmeal
it is the national dish. 1t appears
on the table of every well regulated
home on certain mornings Of the year
sometimes every morning.
But there's great difference in oat-
meals, and the kind YOU have been
eating may not be the best. The kind
that is usually sold as "rolled oats
or "crushed oats" is raw, flinty and
full of hulls. 1t cooks into a mushy,
pasty and indigestible mass. You have
to cook it sixteen hours before it is
fit to eat, and even then you lose much
of the solid nutriment in the oats.
Before passing judgment on oatmeal
as a food, ii is recommended that you
give the brand known as H-O Oatmeal
a trial. There is as much difference
between H-O Oatmeal and ordinary
rolled oats as there is between rice
pudding and sawdust. H-O oatmeal is
cooked at very high temperature un-
der steam pressure, for three solid
hours before packing. This exclusive
process gives it most delicious fla
Vor peculiarly its own and makes it
easily digestible by the most delicate
stomach.
You will never know how good oat-
meal really is until you have tried II o
Oatmeal. Your grocer sells 1t. Insist
upon it.-Adv.

BESTOWED ON
THE REV. Mr.. SOLOMON
Baptists Recognize Work Of Former
Local Minister.

The Meridian Dispatch Of yesterday,
has this to say:
"The Rev. f. D. Solomon returned
Yesterday afternoon from Hattiesburg.
where he attended the Baptist State
Convention and where he was greeted
by many friends who learned to love
and esteem him while he was pastor
of the Main street Baptist church in
that city. Mr.. Solomon was elected
vice-president of the convention and
also a trustee of the Southwestern
Baptist University of Fort Worth, Tex
as His election to this place will re-
quire that he visit Fort Worth at least
once a year and as his mother lives
within so miles of Fort Worth, it will
give him the opportunity to visit her.
''The Fifteenth Avenue Baptist
Church, of which Mr. Solomon is pas
tor. has just installed a new heating
apparatus, and has also added two
Sunday School rooms, and since Mr..
Solomon's pastorate began has added
Sc new members without holding any
special revival services"

PENSION WARRANTS
NOW BEING ISSUED
LOCAL BANK. WILL CASH Tfgs n.
AND HOLD THEM FOR FEW
MONTHS.

The scores of Forrest county pen
siOners, the men who fought under
the Stars and Bars during the early
COS, will not have to wait until there
is enough money in the state treasury
to pay them, in order to get their
claims.
The warrants are being issued to-
day by Chancery Clerk Gillis, and as
rapidly as they are placed in the
hands OF the veterans, they are being
cashed by the First-National Bank of
Commerce. of this city.
Arrangements for having the bank
cash and hold these warrants were
made bv County Treasurer John Will
liams, who has been in conference
with the officials of the financial in
stitution for some days.
A shortage in the Mississippi Treas
ury has made it impossible for the
state to cash the warrants, and, ac-
lording to State Treasurer Stovall, it
Will be several weeks yet before the
treasury will be able to call in these
pieces of paper. This meant, had not
the local bank come TO their rescue,
that the veterans would have to wait
until along about Christmas to get
their pension money.
MIR. Gillis had received a letter from
the state treasurer. in which it was
stated that just as soon as Forrest
county's balance in the treasury
would permit, the state would cash
the warrants of the local veterans.
But it will be several weeks yet before
that state of affairs will exist. in the
meantime, the scores of veterans
would be without the $4,000 coming
Ito them.
Mr. Williams took the matter up
with the officials of the First-National
Bank of Commerce, and the latter
agreed to cash the warrants and hold
them until they are called in BY the
state treasurer. The bank, it may be
explained, will receive no interest on
this $1,000, but is taking this step to
assist the pensioners.

Tom Leverett, Louisiana saw-miH
man. told a Forrest county jury this
afternoon the story Of Thursday morn
ing. August 2G. when he and his erst-
while friend and boon companion, Ed
Bradley, met at the railroad station in
Richton, purely by accident, he said,
walked down the railroad ira k q few
hundred yards, when Bradley met his
death.
Leyerett was placed on the witness
stand shortly before noon, and was
given time to give a description Of the
shooting and what led up to it. before
the noon recess.
That Leverett would be called so
soon, was something of a surprise to
both the counsel for the State, and the
Forrest countians who had wanted TO
hear the mans story. There was not
a large crowd in the court room when
the man first took the stand, but be-
fore he left it, the place was packed.
Leyerett, a man about 35 or SO years
old, has not a coed voice, and It was
difficult that the audience could hear
his story That he made a good
impression on the jury is not believed
by a majority of the spectators. His
story was disconnected, and was not
told with that dramatic firmness
which generally characterizes such
testimony.
Soon after taking the stand, Mr.. Cas-
sedy introduced couple of letters,
one being a recommendation from the
Genessee Lumber Company, with
which Leyerett had been connected for
several years, and the second written
to his wife, on August "A, prior to the
killing.
