not to say these things in the first

not repair the damage, which may
be likened to the aphorism about CIV

NEW CATTLE DISEASE
NOW AT MOSELLE.

/ A strange and fatal cattle disease
has appeared at Moselle, among Mr.,
p. M Ikeler's herd of fine cattle, and
which seems to be fatal and incurable.
1t has already killed Mr.. Ikeler's Red
Pole bull, Que OF the purest blooded
animals IN this section, and four OF
his finest COWS, and unless the disease
is checked 1t threatens TO exterminate
his entire herd. Mr.. keller, who is
one of our most enterprising citizens,
has gone extensively into the raising
OF fine cattle, having built improved
barns, silos, etc, on his farm at Mo
selle, and 1t would be great mishap
to our entire county TO have his good
work interrupted
An expert has been called In to in
vestigate the disease, but he don't
seem to know anything about it, the
same being something new and un-
heard-nf. The nose of an animal is
effected, and it is fatal in every case.
The U. S. Live Stock Department
ought at once send its best vetenari-
ans here to investigate this new dis
ease and stamp the thing out In its
incipieney. Cattle and hog raising
has taken on great boost in Jones
county, and bids fair to develop into
an important industry. A number Of
blooded cattle and hogs are being i'm
ported and scattered over the county.
A number of blooded bulls and cows
were bought by our farmers at the
recent cattle sale in Laurel. Thus far
stock in this county has been eHcep-
tionally free from disease, and If we
can keep them SO, Jones will be the
leading cattle-raising section of the
South. Not only are our farmers, but
our townsmen and professionals, are
embarking in this line. Hon. w. j.
Pack one of our most enterprlsing
and publio-spirited citizens and lead
ing members of the bar, is develop
ing an improved cattle and hog farm
near Laurel on a Inc plantation h
Downs. Mr.. Pack IS making i specialt
of Hereford cattle and Poland Chin
hogs. He recently bought one of th'
finest registered bulls ever brought tc
our county. AT the recent sale in Lau
rel blooded cattle brought from $S5 te
| Sl45 head, most of the bulls and ma
ny COWS being boughtby Jones county
farmors. 1t pays to raise fine stock.
A thorough bred yearling will always
flrd ready sale at S75, while scrub
OF the same age WIFI only bring $40.
We must keep our stock healthy and
free from disease.

To Serve Double Sentence.

Angus Waters, a white man
convicted of stealing a COW a
year ago and sentenced to serve
one year in the state penitentiary,
was taken to the big prison Mon
day to begin serving his sentence.
Mr.. Waters spent the year that
elapsed between the time he was
sentenced and the time he began
serving the sentence, in the coun-
ty Jail.
The prisoner appealed the case
to the supreme court and that tri-
bunal recently decided that the
verdict of the lower court should
be sustained. AS result, Mr.
Waters must serve his term Of one
year in the state penitentiary,
making two years imprisonment
in all for his one year sentence.
Sergent Mott Devall, Of the
state penitentiary, came to Laurel
Monday to take Waters to the
state prison. He also took Jack
Bender, the negro who was to
have been hanged last Friday for
murder, but whose sentence was
committed to life imprisonment,
ack with him.

REST ROOM FOR THE
WOMEN IN ELLISVILLE.

Jake Lewis, the efficient keeper
of the Ellisville court house, has
fitted up in the Court House, in
the rooms of the County Superin-
tendent of Education, a rest room
for ladies, which will be open at
all times to the people who come
here for shopping or business.
Comfortable arrangements will
be provided for women and child
rem, which will be of convenience
to the ladies who visit the city,
and who have had no place for
headquarters while making their
purchases at the stores, or walt
ing for business in the courts and
county offices.
This is most excellent idea,
and will be deeply appreciated by
the ladies, who are urged to make
use of it as they see fit.

nice COMPLIMENT
TO MIR. ELLSWORTH.

A short time since the News Editor
was on the traiu aud meta gentleman
named Ellis, large farmer and stock
dealer, of near Heidelburg. After
stating that our town was named for
his grandfather, Mr.. Ellis remarked: /:
DO you you know that Etlisville
has two of the best managed and the
strongest banks in the South? / have
transacted considerable business with
Mr.. Ellsworth, of the Merchants an d
Manufacturers Bank, and / consider
him one OF ihe leading young finan-
clers OF the county. Your town Is to
be congratulated on having such
man as citizen. / own stock in sew
eral banks, aud my business requires
me TO study financial matters. I new
er saw man better fitted for ban
ker than w. II. Ellsworth. He is af-
fable and with most pleasing manner,
full Of enterprise yet very conserva-
tive, and what he doesn't know about
finances and banking Is not worth
learning. But Mr.. Ellsworth's special
forte and gift is his rare power to
read the human mind He can glance
at an applicant for loan, and seems
to read him as book. He never fails
to diagnose aperson's characteristics
and without hesitation announces
whether or not his. bank will accom-
nodate you. I had sooner trust one
glance of Ellsworth's analytic and
keen eye, in rating an applicant for
credit, than all the commercial re-
ports ever published. But I doubt if
your town can keep Mr.. Ellsworth.
He is cut out for q bigger place and
bigger things. We need just such
men In control Of our Ma tional finan-
ces. / was one of the first stockhol-
ders OF the Bank of Commerce at Hat
tiesburg, and claim my share Of cred
it in the discovery of Frank Foote.
But Ia Ellsworth your town has the
peer Of any fnancier In the country,
and your business men and citizens
had better freeze on TO and hold him. "
1t was certainly crafty TO hear such
highly complimentary words from a
stranger about one of our leading and
citizens. And Mr.. Ellis,
in his remarks. did not know that
they. would ever reach the ears of Mr..
being a spontaneous and
tribute. We stated TO Mr..
Ellis that we knew Mr.. Ellsworth in
having done business with
his bank tor more than two years, and
We could heartily endorse all that he
had said about him.

NEW LUMBER
PLANTS TO START.

Messrs. DUPONT G. Thompson
have made arrangements to es-
tablish a small saw mill, with a
capacity Of 1850 a day, at the
ola compress site in Ellisville.
Mr.. DUPONT is from Houma, La, !,
and Mr.. Thompson from Alexan >
dria and New Orleans, La. Both
are capable business men Of abun-
dant capital, and it is confidently
expected that the enterprise they
are establishing viii be a grow
ing one, and will be Of value to
this city.
They will purchase timber from
farmers and landowners near
Elisville, depending for their
supply from these sources.
There is much scattered timber
in the old cuttings near here,
which will be aboundant for mill
of the proposed capacity for a
long time.
Mr., Melton Odom is erecting
this week, new saw and shingle
mill at Odom, nine miles from
Ellisville, and will soon have it in
operation. Mr.. Odom is an ex-
perienced mill man, and has been
engaged in successful business
of this kind for many years.

GERMANS SINK 3
MERCHANT SHIPS
ON BRITISHCOAST
Bringing the War to Our
Back Door.

AT this time a death crap pie
between the two warning armies
is waging in both the East and
the West. The Tutons are MAX
ing desperate attempts to break
through the allies ranks and
gain the Channel ports and War
saw. At some points the Ger
mans claim to have made slight
advances, but they were at q
frightful loss of life and the stu
ation. was not materially changed.
In a short line where they at
tackled Russian trench, the Tu-
tons lost 5000 men this week.
The Austrians seem to be do
ing better fighting Of late, the
Kaiser coming to their aid, and
desperate battles are being waged
in the Carpathian mountain pass
es, but without result thus far. 1t
is on these contests that hinge a
Russian invasion of Austrian ter
ritory and perhaps the conquest
of Germany and the result of the
war. The German commander is
making desperate drive to cap
ture Warsaw, but it is not believ-
ed he will succeed, as the Rus
sian troops in his front outnum-
Der him two to one. But the Tu-
tons are better armed and much
better fighters.
In the West the situation is un-
changed. The Germ ms have
made a number of desperate at
tacks, at enormous loss OF life,
but the allies claim to have re-
captured the trenches they have
lost. The Kaiser realizes that the
allies are preparing to drive his
arniss back and invade Gefma-
ny in the spricg, and is trying to
gain a decisive victory at once.
This week a German subma-
rine entered and sank four British
merchant ships righton the Eng
lish coast, land threaten to paralize
British commerce. The shipping
interest is in CONSERVATION.
1t looks as if Uncle Sam may
yet get mixed up in this war. A
German spy this week dynamited
railroad bridge connecting Can
ada and Maine, and the dynami-
ter then escaped into American
territory, where he was arrested
and lodged in jail. But little
damage was done to the bridge.
Canada demands that the priso-
ner be delivered to them, but to
this Germany objects.
There is some peace talk, but |
it is not credited. We may look |
for from now on some desperate
lighting and the greatest human
slaughter in the history of wars.

LIKE MISSISSIPPI
TOBACCO THE BEST.

Mr.. Ring has received letter
from theBanner Warehouse, at Will
son, N. G, to which pointhe shipped
a quantity oftobacco raised by Mr..
Garner, of Pachuta, stating that
satisfactory price was paid for
it, in spite Of the fact that it was
not properly cured, in Mr.. Rings
opinion.
The warehouse wrote to Mr..
Ring in rsgard to this tobacco,
"All of our buyers like the class
of tobacco he shipped, and we
feel sure that if the crop is hand
led properly, it will bring good
prices here. We like it better
than the South Carolina tobacco.

NEW SAW MILL FOR
ELLISVILLE ASSURED.

Ellisville is taking on a big boom of
late. Business in all lines is growing
and our merchants are advertising
more generously than ever before, as
they know that the Jones County News

like mustard plaster. You see large

The vacant stores in our town are
all filling up. Mr.. II, c. Carter, one
OF our old reliable merchants who has
been resting up for year, has rented
one OF the new store-rooms In the
Fridge building and is now opening
variety stock. Mr. Joe b. Cough will
branch out and carry a general stock,
selling everything from a cambrie
needle to a steam engine. Cough,
Craft, Rutiln and Caldwell & Collins
are all now running slaughter sales
that draw big crowds. The Caldwell
building, next to the post Office, is be.
Ing fitted up for permanent moving

week takes over the Hyde Drug Co.
and will rush things.
But the best news is that this week
a company was organaed and there
will be erected at once an up-to-date

town, on the North Eastern, and the
logs will be brought in by railroad.

/ take this method Of announc-

ty, The Jones County Teaehers
Association, in session at Laurel
last Saturday, voted on spending
part Of that afterroonsof that
day in organizing Girls Canning
Club, Boys Corn Club and Boys'
Pig Club.
1t seems to me that it would be
well for each teacher to begin the
work before that day, by making
personal canvass Of the boys
and girls. The largest enroll
ment we have from any school SO
far was made up where this plan
was carried out.
On the day set apart q program
relating to farm life should be
rendered. I would suggest that
question touching on these clubs
be taken up in round table dis
cussion in which the parents, pu-
pills and teachers take part.
After these exercises organize
the clubs, and mail the list of
boys to Mr.. A. E. Terry or N.Y.
