HALT ENGINE TEST
BECAUSE OF RAIN
NEW PUMPER NOT TAKEN OUT
TO-DAY. BECAUSE OF INcLEM-
EMIT WEATHER..

Because of the heavy rainfall which
made its appearance during the mid
die of the forenoon, the official test
of the new automatic pumper of the
Fire Department, was not made this
morning as per schedule.
Chief Potter decided that it was not
best to expose the machine and
his men to the hard rain unnecessari-
ly. For that reason the test was called
off, and in all probability will be given
at Komp's works Monday morning at
o'clock.
There was no test for the benefit oi
the school children this afternoon
either, as had been planned. 1t viii
be given late some afternoon mex
week.
The commissioners have not yet de
cided which of the two outlying fire
engine companies is to be discontin
ued. They will meet Chief Potte
within a few days, when the entir'
matter will be thrashed out.

FOLKS GETTING FORTUNES
The Two Ready Brothers, Of New

Part Of the Countrywide Record Of
Them Either at sumrall or Other

This seems to be the open season
for missing heirs and heiresses in
Mississippi
While the police of Hattiesburg and
the authorities of Forrest county are
searching in vain for pretty seventeen
year-old Nettie May James, who has
$4,000 coming to her from Bolivar
county. Miss, second call was made
upon Chief of Police Bennett this after
noon, to locate couple of Canadian
heirs who are believed to be in this
part Of the United States. They, too,
have small fortune awaiting them in
John, New Brunswick.
If Hugh J. Ready and James F.
Ready are in the audience, will they
please come forward, identify them
selves, and receive from Chief Bennett
information which means regular
money to them?
From Barnhill, Ewing & Sanford, at
torneys of st. John, this afternoon
came the request that the chief try
to help them locate the Ready broth
ers.
I'VE are desirous of obtaining infor

SEARCH STILL ON
FOR "ThE LIT TIE
LOST HEIRESS'

The mystery surrounding the disap'
pearance of Nettie May James, still
remains unsolved. Efforts on the part
of the authorities Of this and adjoining
states to. locate her have failed. She
is said to have been visiting in new
Orleans, but an investigation OF TINS
report showed that it was without
Foundation.
The rumor that she had married d
man in New Orleans a couple OF years
ago also is discredited by the fact tha'
a careful search of the marriage IL
cense records fails to show her name
there.
II Is not believed that the young
woman has met with foul play bu'
tho officials are unable to understand
how she could fail to receive the re
mort that she is wanted in Bolivar
county where small fortune is await
ing her. .r,,
In the meantime, the search tor <in'
lost Heiress" continues mere anu e'Se

ors-cattIe to Be Dipped Every
Fortnight - Should Be Eradicated
During Present Year.

The work of beginning the tick Grad |
ication campaign in Forrest county |
will start shortly after April 1.
This Information was conveyed to
Secretary r. C.. Hauenstein, of the
Hattiesburg Commercial Club today by
R. e. Jackson, acting inspector in
charge Of the Birmingham office of the
Bureau of Animal Industry.
The farmers and stock men of For
rest county are to be notified of the
date by the club, and the Board Of
County Supervisors.
Writing to Secretary Hauenstein,
Mr.. Jackson said: 81 take pleasure in
noting the interest being manifested
in Forrest county in the tick eradica-
ton work, and 1t is with regret that
advise you that at present It does not
appear that 1t will be possible for this
office to detail an inspector to take
charge Of tick eradication work there
at as early a date as March l on ac-
count of most of the men on this force
being at present engaged on the foot.
and-mouth disease work in another sec
tion of the country.
"It is hoped that by April /, however,
some of these men will be returned to
this force and by that time this office
will be in position to cooperate with
the officials of Forrest county.
Number Of vats Small.
at is noted that only 60 watts are
mentioned as being built. 1t appear;
that this number would be too small
for the satisfactory dipping of all the
cattle of the county once every two
{ weeks in that the cattle owners, be
cause of having to drive their cattle
too far, would fail to cooperate al
we'll as they would If there were more
available vats.
1t is suggested that this matter b.
, taken under advisement by your peopl
so that during March more watts cal
= be arranged for in the county If yo1
. consider them necessary. There Is n
good reason why the work of tick erat
ication should not be complete in Fol
rest county during 1915, II the regula
dipping of all the cattle could be begu
= by April 1, and continued every tw
weeks during the season.
1t is explained that 60 vats distril
II uted about the county will be sufficier
for the work intended. Forrest coul
ty is comparatively small count!
/ and 60 vats equally distributed woul
d place. them within three miles of eac
5 other.
