GOOD PEACH CROP.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. Although
blackberries and strawberries have
gone and the last of the watermelons
and cantaloupes win soon be eaten,
the people of Jackson seem destined
to have peaches for some time yet.
According to farmers visiting the
Capital city. the crop of peaches this
year is large and it is claimed the
fruit is of splendid quality and suited
both for cooking and eating purposes.
The farmers of this section raise
many peaches and wagons loaded
with these have been much in evi-
dence for several days. incidentally
a large number have been shipped to
other markets bringing in each in
stance a good price.

plants and small towns nearby, which

receive, in times of distress assist
ance from their more fortunate neigh

ly willing that the machine be sent
to render assistance to our neighbors,
for it is possible that Hattiesburg, in
event of a great confagration, would
want help from Jackson or Meridian

OVERHEATED FURNACE
CAUSES FIRE ALARM

The fire department was called to
the E E. ApkAr home on Birch street
about IL O'Clock this morning on &C.
count of an overheated furnace. Mel
Their Mr.. nor Mrs. Apker were at home
and it seems that the younger gener-
alton who were in the house did not
know how to regulate the furnace and
as the house became warmer and war
mer the occupants became alarmed and
in their excitement summoned the fire
department. When the fremen arrived
they found the doors locked but were
soon admitted and found that no dam
age had resulted to the house. The in
terror of the latter however had be-
come unusually warm.

Monday

The first real snow storm of the sea-
son visited Baraboo on Saturday
night and flakes fell internationally dur
ing Sunday. This city, however, escap-
ed the blizzard that was general
throughout the middle west. Chicago was
hard hit and several cities in Wisconsin
were cut off from telegraphic communal
cation. The snow in these localities
was preceded by sleet and frozen rain
and trains crept slowly over frozen
tracks while telegraph and telephone
linemen labored to repair broken wires.

city house on Saturday evening at the
Al. Ringing theater. The play, which
Is farce comedy, was full of ludi-
crous situations and replete with rep
artee which kept the audience in
smiles throughout the performance.
The play was given in three acts and
the plot deals with the partnership bus
mess of the Eureka Digestive Pill com
pany in which the partners, after
they had built up prosperous bushes
began to disagree largely on the ques-
ton as to who was the head of the firm,
which one of them was responsible for
the success of the business, who did the
real work and which one had the brains.
Things ran along from bad to worse un-
til they decided to call in a lawyer to
settle their differences and dissolve the
partnership. AS neither cared to sell to
the other, the lawyer after many
other efforts to patch up matters, sub
mitted a proposition, which was finally
accepted by both partners, that hand

THUGS DRAG MAN
FROM HIS CUTTER
Harry Miller, Upper End Farm
er, Roughly Handled in
East Moline.

Harry Miller, a farmer living in the
upper end of the county, was roughly
handled by thugs at the Thirteenth
street crossing over the Burlington
tracks in East Moline last night. Two
men dragged MIN from the cutter in
which he was riding, bruising him by
throwing him to the icy roadway, and
searched his pockets for money with
out finding any. 1t was necessary for
him to seek the services of a physi-
clan, DR.. E. c. Donahoo attending him.
Miller, because of impairment OF his
vocal organs due to an accident, was
unable to make an outcry which would
attract help, and so the thieves got
away. One of his elbows was cut
open and he was bruised about the
head and body
One of the holdup men seized the
bride of the horse and the other Crap
pied with the driver, who put up a
stif fight. The man at the horses
head was forced to come to his COM
panion's assistance before Miller was
subdued.
