Account Of Bond Issue.

Messrs. X. G. searcy G Company

S5l, ,025.6l; the competing bids
were from Messrs. S. B. Harding &
Company, of Tupelo, for $55,412.-
70, and Cunningham-T Tate Compa-

There We're two bids for the tiline.
Messrs. E. w. Humphries & Gonna
ny, of this city, having received the
contract.
On account of being unable to
make satisfactory arrangements
with the Tillopson- Wolcott Compa-
ny, of Cleveland, Ohio, which con-

be postponed for thirty days.
The final settlement for the work
already done in this county by
Messrs. Searcy & Company, amount

until the December meeting of the

BY TRAIN.

A switch engine mad made two un-
successful efforts to couple two box
ears together, and Hunter. it seems
tried to pass between the two cars

and was caught between the two
drawheads.
Immediately after the accident
efforts were made to carry Hunter
to a local sanitarium but he died be-
fore medical assistance reached him.

TWO GOOD ATTRACTIONS
COMING TO LOCAL TREATRE
PRINCE OF PILSEN" AND CO.
BURNS MINSTRELS HERE
NEXT WEEK.

The Columbus Theatre manage.
ment will offer two of the best at.
fractions of the season the coming
week. "The Prince of Pilsen," a mus.
ical comedy, will be here on the
night OF " ednesday, November IL
and Coburn's minstrels will be en-.
joyed the following Thursday night.
The story of the "Prinee of Pill
sen," the delightful musical comedy
by Luders and Pixley, takes players
and audience to Nice during the car
nlval of Flowers. The fete is at its
height, when the proprietor of the
Hotel International learns that the
Prince of Pilsen, who is travelling in
cognlto is a prospective visitor and
may be expected to arrive at any
time. With an eye to the main
chance the Boniface spreads the
news and prepares to receive the
guest with the pomp and circum
stance befitting the prince. He en-
ploys band of musicians to meet
the distinguished guest at the rail
way station, engages a bevy of girls
to strew flowers, and lends every eff
fort to the end of giving the scion
of royalty fitting welcome.
1t happens that Hans Wagner,
brewer from Cincinnati, U. S. A., ac
companied by his daughter, is on his
way to Nice to meet his son, who is
"a lieutenant on an American ship
visiting that port. On debarking
from the train Wagner is mistaken
for the prince by the leader of the
band, and music flowers and much
homage welcomes him to the RIVE
ra. The brewer, much amazed at this
reception, at first protests. but at
length concludes that the popular
acclaim for the Prince of Pilsen, is
due to the prestige of his brand of
Pllsen beer. When the real prince, a
dashlng student from Heidelberg.
arrives for his suite, he is not only
ignored, but even finds difficulties
IN getting Accommodations at the he
tel. He is told that the Prince of Pill
sens presence at the hostelry leaves
little room or time for entertaining
Others. He decides not to disclose
his identity but to await a favorable
opportunity for exposing the impos-
ter However, he happens to meet
Nellie Wagner, the brewers daugb-
ter, and minute conversation with
her is enough to show him that the
Americans are innocent of any part
IN the deception-that the situation
has been forced upon them. In full
enjoyment of the affair he remains
commoner and permits the blund-
erlng brewer to involve them both in
a series of ludicrous situations. bnt

prince finally declares himself. and
happily ends the complications.

3l0.lOSE LIVES
ON ITALIAN LINER
STEAMER AHCONA II SUNK
NJ a BIC SUBMA.
RiNE.
324 FIND THEIR
WAY TO SAFETY
United States Will Probably
Demand Disavowsl Of the
Act.

Rome, Nov. l0.-The Italian
steamer Ancona, with passengers
and crew numbering 642, was sunk
In the Mediterranean Tuesday by a
submarine flying the Austrian flag
Two hundred and seventy survi.
vors have been landed at Bizerta
and 81 members Of the crew have
reached Cape Bon, Turis, making a
total of 324 survivors so far known.
and leaving 31S unaccounted for.
The Ancona is ship of S,219
gross tonnage, with length of 4s2
feet and So foot beam. She arrived
at Naples October 29 from New
York bringing 1900 reservists from
the United States.
She left Naples Tuesday morning
for her return voyage and was we'll
out into the Mediterranean when
sighted by the submarine.
Previous to the declaration of war
by Italy against Austria, the Ancona
had been used to bring Italian re-
servists from the United States.
A cablegram to Lloyds in London,
from Bizerta, states that the death
list is placed at 800. Most of the
lost them essage adds, were women
and children immigrants. South
Americans are reported to be among
the passengers of the Ancona. Amer
leans are also reported to be on the
passenger lists.
Fully 100 shells are said to have
been fired into the ship before she
was torpedoed.
Should it prove that Americans
are among the lost on the steamer
and that the steamer was torpedoed
without warning, the United States
government will probably demand of
the Austrian government disa-
vowal of the act, reparation and as
surance that there will be repitition
of similar accident.
