General Ross A. Collins is wearing a
broad smile these days, for a baby

cREEkMORE QUITS RACE.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 16.-The con-
gressional race in the Fourth Missis-
sippi District has been simplified
somewhat by the withdrawal of H.
II. CreekmOre, a prominent attorney
of Water Valley, who was formally
announced several weeks ago as an
aspirant for the seat now held by Con
gresham T. L. Sisson.
Mr.. Creekmore states that for bust
ness and personal reasons he has de-
cided not to make the race. This
leaves two positive entries in the
field, Mr. SissOn, the present incumb-
ent, and his brother-in-law, William
c. Ward, of Winona.
During the past two weeks Mr.. Sis
son has been on a campaign tour of
the district and will probably make
addresses at several more points be-
fore returning to Washington in De-
cember, realizing that the long ses-
sion of congress will probably prevent
him from making an active campaign
next year.
Mr.. Sisson will start on a campaign
tour of Yalobusha county. On Tues
day he will speak at Fords Wells, COT
feeville and Water Valley, and on
Wednesday at Pine Valley and All
