In remembrance of the beautiful
light gone out of our lives with
the passing of Wife and Mother,
we who remain wish to emulate
her thoughtful and gracious exam
pie in expressing to our friends
something of our appreciation for
all their care and kindness during
the last illness that preceded the
sudden death of "Mrs. George Nc
Clendon" as she was known by her
numerous friends. To each and
every one, her pastor, physicians,
nurses, neighbors and friends we
extend our cordial thanks and wish
for them solace and comfort in
their time of sorrow.

SOME PETTY THIEVIRG AND
MALICIOUS MISCHIEF GOING ON

Some party or parties seem to be
carrying on a rather systematic de-
struction of property and thieying,
in a small way, /. the past
several nights, with so far no clue
to the culprits.
Panzica Bros. fruit stand had
the wire netting protecting it cut
Saturday night and a small quanti-
ty of fruit taken away.
Louis Canistraro had the same
prank played on him Monday night
with like result.
Joe Panzica had a glass door
broken in several nights ago, but
missed nothing. The police were
in a short distance when the glass
broke, but on investigation no one
could be seen or found who ap-
peared to have had anything to do
with the damage done.

FIRST HONE AND ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Vicksberg Man Installed Both in 1883
They We're CuriOsities to
the Public.

| u aZOO lily, MISS. -In THESE
DAYS Of rapid communication and
TRANSPORTATION, it is interesting to
recall the Inauguration of the first
system of distant communication
by t human voice in Mississippi.
The honor of installing the first
telephone in Mississippi belongs to
Capt. ]. B. Mattingly, secretary of
the Elks Club of this city. In a
conversation with Captain Mat
tingly yesterday, the matter of the
use of the wireless by the United
States Army in Mexico was men
toned, and Captain Mattingly
stated that he was the first man to
use the telephone in Mississippi.
Said be:
This was in 1882 or 1883,
probably the latter year. | was
operating a coal yard in Vicks-
burg, and it was quite distance
from the river landing, where we
shipped a great deal of coal. 1t
was necessary to keep an extra
man to make frequent trips from
my Office to the river landing, and
this caused us a great deal of
trouble and delays in handling the
business. The telephone was just
beginning to come into use in the
East, and | wrote to the Manufac-
turers' Record at Baltimore and
asked where l could purchase the
phones. The paper gave me the
address of Baltimore dealer, and
| purchased from them two phones,
and had the wires strung from my
uptown office to the river landing
Office.
1T was the first phone line built
in the State of Mississippi, and at
tracted a great deal of attention in
Vicksburg many people coming to
the office to try it.. In fact, for
quite a while the number of visit
ors was so great that it interfered
with our business considerably.
"After we had been operating
the line for quite a while, the
Cumberland Telephone Company
entered the State and located an
exchange in Vicksburg. They
claimed that had no right to use
their phones, and took possession
of my phones, line and all, with
out money and without price. In
asmuch as had the use of the
phones so long, | was glad to sur
render them in order to get the use
of the larger system, and became
regular subscriber.
/ also installed the first electric
IIi9ht plant in Mississippi, and
S, TOO, was in Vicksburg "
Captain Mattingly was for many
years prominently identified with
the river transportation business
on the Mississippi when that bust
ness was in the heyday of its
glory. With the decline of the
business Captain Mattinglyy retir-
ed, and has been a resident of va
zoo City for several years, where
he is held in the highest esteem by
all who know him.

SHERIFF. Ed SMITH ACCIDENT,
ALLY RAN INTO SOMETHING

A sure enough case of an officer
Just running into something"
when he was not expecting it was
in reality out on other business
happened a few days ago to Sheriff
W. Ed Smith when out in the
country some miles east of town.
The genial sheriff drove up to a
house to ask a little information
about small affair connected with
his office, when he was surprised
to see a man running at break
neck speed away from the house at
the rear. AS soon as he was in
good speaking distance the cause
of this was the first question he
popped. He was informed that
the man who had so suddenly ab-
sented himself did not live there,
but in his haste had left a grip he
had brought with him. The sher-
| iff decided to take charge of it and
investigation showed the grip to
have the initials ,".W. w. B."
painted on it, some neckwear with
the name of "H. Dillon" indelibly
stamped upon it, blue serge suit,
several vests, a cash book and
some government stamped envel-
opes with Brookhaven, Miss,
printed on them. =
Mr.. Smith states that he has
reason to believe that the owner is
or has been in Hammond, La, and
has written the MARSHAL at that
place for any information that he
can give about the grip that tie
officer got here without money
and without price.

.HEUCK is AGAIN
NOMINATED MAYOR
Davis for Marshal Byrne for Clerk
Not Necessary to Hold a
Second Primary.

Brookhaven's first city primary
was held yesterday with the votes
so tallying that it will not be nec-
essary to hold the second primary
set for April Is. There were only
three offices with as many as
three contestants, and in each of
these races one man secured
enough votes to over double that
of his two adversaries, thus secur-
ing the nomination.
Notwithstanding that candidates
were not as numerous as is the
custom every two years, general
interest in the election could easily
be seen by even!a casual visitor to
the city, the crowds and indiyidu-
ais alert to take advantage of ev-
cry opportunity for their choices
being very much in evidence. up to
the closing OF, the polls.
Most of the interest in general
naturally centered around the race
for Mayor, with that for marshal
and city clerk running a good Sec
ond and third place.

Many legislators Forgot Their Pre-
Election Pleas Before Voters For

1t is stated that with the closing
of the Legislative session at Jack

Training School for Criminal and
Neglected Youth; Building of In

1t is entirely superhuous to say
that some of our Servants of the
people" worked-and some played
most of them had good time
they were dined and wined and
driven over the Capital and out on
the good roads to their hearts con-
tent and all drew their pay.
Some of them-about three
fourths-forgot their economical
plans which they told the voters
they would run the states affairs
on if elected and made the plunge
la other legislatures that did the
same thing, this legislature ex-
ceeding in appropriations by $299, :
073. 30 the session of 1914.
The real, sure-enough dyed-in-
the-wool "tight wads' died hard
on the bond issue proposition, to
the end that the 1886, 900 proposed
was chopped to 100000 and yet
they were not satisfied.

constructive laws enacted and has
shown the spirit that is victorious
under all circumstances.

In the oratorical contest held at
the State Normal at Hattiesburg
last Saturday evening, there we're
four aspirants for the honor to ap-

quished his three worthy oppo
nents and came off the field with
flying colors.
This means that Mr.. Ritchey
