FAMOUS Eeats Of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was

plains there were Indians who, while
riding at gallop, could send an ar.
row through buffalo's body. Re.

OF ancient times. 1t is of record that

were such skilled archers that they
could hit man at the distance OF
500 yards. In 1894 the Turkish am.
bassador at London shot an arrow in

For many generations the Panama
took much urging and good manage
ment on the part of those who bought
and imported the genuine South Amer
lean Panama hat to persuade the ma
tive makers to produce other shapes
But finally this was accomplished and
now one may buy Panama In almost
any shape. Not all the hats known by
this name are South American prod
ucts. (there are Panamas and Pana-
mas). but whether made in Japan or
Connecticut. or brought from its ma
tive home. the Panama is a beautiful
product

ton OF fitting the head, as to the
crown. and for shading the eyes, as to
the brim. But In the past few seasons
It bas been possible to get Panamas
with very wide brims, and these have

wid'-brimmed straws used for the

MONTICELLO BOY GETS
PACIFIC MEDAL
HENNlE BEAsoN REWARDED FoH
ESTABLISHING NEW HIGH
RECORD FOR CORN.


Jackson, Miss. Sept. 27. - Bennie
Beason, the Corn Club lad of Month
cello, Lincoln coanty has been award.
ed medal of merit by the Panama
Pacific exposition for his achieve
ment in establishing the high record
for corn growing in Mississippi. In
1912 the young fellow. then only 12
years of age, produced 227 bushels of
corn on one acre, taking the prize at
the state fair in competition with sew
eral thousand corn club boys.
Beason attracted great deal of at
tention, and was taken on trip to
see the President of the United
States.
According to information received
by Gov. Brewer yesterday the proper
officials will send the medal to him to
be personally presented to the Lin
coin county lad, with the suggestion
that this be done during some large
gathering or fair. So far arrange.
ments for the presentation have not
been announced.
Young Carl Graves, of Jones coun-
ty, in 1918, came within striking dis.
tance of Beason's record, reporting a
yield of 223 bushels of corn on one
acre.
