BIRTHDAY PARTY.

Mary Frances Cheney celebrated
her sixth birthday with a beautiful
party on last Wednesday.
Thirty of her little friends were
invited, and as the dining room
doors were thrown open, flash light
pictures were made of the children
as they gathered around the table.
The little girls with their pink
ribbons added much to the color
scheme of pink and white.
The table was beautiful in its de-
corations of pink and crystal. In
the center stood tall cut glass vase
of pink roses; at one end was the
birthday cake with six pink cand-
les, and at the other was a large
crystal bowl of pink roses. Be-
tween these were the candles and
bon bons in pink and white. The
favors carried out the color scheme of
pink.
Ice cream and pink and white
cake were served

New Orleans, Feb 4.-Hypnotizing
Eugeen Fox, IS, grocer, two gaudily-
garbed gypsy women shortly after
noon yesterday forced him to turn
over to them all his money, about $50,
and fed when his wife entered the
store at 1900 Arabella street.
The gypsies on entering the store
called Fox from behind the counter.
His memory for few minutes, he
said, went blank. When he recovered
consciousness, Mrs. Fox was shaking
him violently. The gypsies had es-
capped with the old grocer's money.
Mrs. Fox told police that she and
her husband discovered the gypsies
getting the money from her husband
and demanded it. A blank stare on
her husbands face and his strange
silence aroused her suspicious. She
shook him back into consciousness.

AFTER BACK TAXES
OF COTTON BUYERS
ONLY ACTUAL PRODUCERS OF
THE STAPLE ARE EXEMPT,
1T SAID.

Interest in the statement that State
Revenue Agent j. c. Johnson is pre-
pairing to naugurate a campaign
against cotton buyers of Mississippi
for one of the largest back tax claims
to be filed in recent years, is being
manifested by Forrest county cotton
dealers. Cotton in the hands of farm
ers on February 1, according to the
statutes, is exempt from taxation but
this does not apply to the product be-
ing held by merchants or buyersswho
do not actually produce the staple.
1t is estimated that for several
years past the amount of cotton in
the hands of the buyers and mer.
chants in this state on February /
has not been less than half million
bales.
The revenue agent has authority
to enforce back tax collections of q
period of six years, and this would
make total of three million bales IL
able to assessment.
Figuring this cotton at an average
of ten cents per pound, or $50 a bale
the sum of assessment would be $780,.
100000.
The state tax alone on this sum
would be 100000 County and city
taxes would be three times that
amount, making a total tax claim Of
81, 700 900.
There has been no confirmation
from the revenue agents office con
cerning this proposed raid on cotto,
buyers and merchants. but it is know
that deputy revenue agents have beer
making Inquiries concerning stocks
on hand in certain congresses on tht
first of February for various years
and to say that the merchants AM
buyers are very uneasy is expressing
1t mildly Some Of them frankly ad
nit that they have not been payinI

OF the best known railroad men in the
South. died at the Touro Infirmary.
New Orleans, at 7:O5 o'clock this
morning, following an operation per.
formed about week ago.
The death of Mr.. Flanagan was un.
expected. Until last night, his condi-
ton had been gradually improving,
and reports from the inrirmary each
day told OF the steady improvement.
"A relapse occurred yesterday after
noon, and within short time he be.
gan sinking. He was unconscious
when the end came.
A delegation of Hattiesburg railroad
associates and friends will leave for
New Orleans this afternoon to attend
the funeral, which will be held from
the family residence, 1241 Hagan
avenue, tomorrow afternoon at 2
O'Clock. The interment will be in the
Metaire Cemetery. Pallbearers will
be selected from among Mr.. Elan
agan's business associates.
Floral Piece Sent.
A mammoth floral piece was pre-.
pared by Hattiesburg florists this
morning, and will be sent to New Or
leans by the men of the Northeastern
offices here. In the meantime, both
the Northeastern depot and the freight
stations are being draped in black,
and will remain so far several days.
Mr.. Flanagan was unusually well
well known in Hattiesburg and For
rest county. During his early days,
he was agent of the Northeastern
here for short time. Since then he
has made repeated visits to this city,
both professional and personal
For the last six or eight years, Mr..
Flanagan has spent one or more DAYS
each week in this city in the interest
of the company. He was known per-
sonally to practically every business
man in Hattiesburg.
Born in Pelanatchie, Miss, SO years
ago, Mr.. Flanagan was practically rails
ed in the railroad business. He had
but few educational advantages, al
though he attended the A. & M. Col
lege for a short time. He went to
work for the A. G. V. railroad when
quite young. He was first employed
as telegraph operator and agent. He
served in this capacity at eight or ten
cities in South Mississippi.
Became Train Dispatcher.
About Is or 16 years ago, he was
transferred to the chief dispatchers
office in New Orleans, where he re-
NAMED till 1905. He then was made
chief clerk to the superintendent of
the Northeastern, and year later be-
came superintendent, succeeding D. e.
Curran, who resigned from the presi-
dency of the Northeastern few
weeks ago.
Mr.. Flanagan spent the greater part
of his time during the days that he
was agent for the Northeastern, at
Laurel, Pearl River, and Slidell.
He is survived by a wife and five
children.

held the belief chat whenever he actu-

Four years a.o Mr.. Edmonson came

It is probable that no man in the

the first time he has ever run for pub
