Meeting Held Last Friday Looking to
the Organization.
Last Friday afternoon a number
OF good roads advocates met at the
mayors Office In Port Gibson and
discussed the organization of a
good roads association. In fact It
was decided to organize the CIai-
borne County Cool K Iads Asso-
citation, said organization to be
perfected at meeting to be held
at 1890 tomorrow. Advocates of
better roads residing In the coun-
try are urged to be present and
lend their influence and help.
The meeting was enthusiastic,
every one present heartily favoring
an organization which has for its
purpose the establishment of dur
able roads. Counties adjoining
Claiborne are doing much In this
line, and are receiving great bene-
fit. The organization has 10 view
also the arousing Of interest on the
part of the federal government In

The Fair ended with the Iarges
attendance, on the last day, durinI
its existence. The school parad
brought psopIe from every section
of the county. The gate receipts
indicated that there were near 1906
admissions.
Every school in the county was
represented, each marching undeI
its own banner. The column oi
children, two abreast, reached a
distance of four blocks. They we're
led by Ennis band of Jackson.
After passing through the gate,
the huge mass marched half way
around the track and then headed
toward the grand stand. Just in
front of the grand stand they halt
ed, grouped together, and sang
America, Dixie and "CIaiborne
County Schools" After saluting
the flag, they then dispersed and
spent the day looking at the ex-
hibits and enjoying the music and
ball games.
1t was a wise suggestion that
brought the school children togeth-
er. Here is where hope for future
Improvement lies.
The financial side of the Fair
seems to have been good. After
all expenses and premiums are
paid, there will be some money in

twelve fires THE PAST YEAR
SMALLEST NUMBER OF :O0NFLA-
dRATIoNS IN SEVERAL, YEARS
TOTAL LOSS SMALL -.

Probably the rarest Of all occur
rences in Little Falls in 1915 were tho
fires, of which there were only IL dur
ing the entire 365 days of the year.
This was only little more than half
as many as in 1914, when there were
19. The total loss in the city amounted
to about $17 900 or about three-fourths
of the. amount that this city paid in
premiums on insurance for the same
length of time. This is based upon
the amount Of money received by the
Firemen's Relief association. They
get over $500 per year, which is per
cent Of the amount Of premium money
paid in.
Only in even months January, Feb
ruary, August, September, October,
November and December, were there
any fires. The city enjoyed one period
of six months and four days in which
there was not single fire, not even a
false alarm. This was from February
to August 9. But the new White
fire truck happened to be added so
naturally it had to be subjected to a
trial as soon as it was ready for SER
vice. It proved 50 satisfactory that
there was not another fire for month.
and half.
The biggest fire of the year was
when the Rider block on First street
southeast was destroyed on January
Z, entailing loss of $5,867 81: on the
building and contents. The damage
to the st. Paul store stock by smoke
was 5000, to the Tanner building
$S57.OO and Milo theatre building and
scenery $465. making total loss in
that fire Of $13,479.67.
