P. 0. At huntsville
BLOWN BY YEGGS

Tuesdays Daily.
The post office at huntsville,
east of Corinth, was robbed
again last night.
Sheriff W. l.. Madden received
an early call this morning from
Postmaster j. FL. Nixon of Burns
vile, asking him to begin search
at once for the guilty party or par
ties, and meeting the early morn
ing train, Sheriff Madden receiv-
ed such information that was nee
essary for him to put out a posse
of men at once.
Deputy Sheriff j. NJ. Hanley
and deputies went to the scene
where it was stated several men
were seen camping in the woods
in that direction.
Dynamite is supposed to have
been used in the explosion, as the
safe was blown, and every partic-
lie of the contents, one and two
cent stamps, war stamps, money,
etc, taken.
just what time the robbery
took place is not known, but the
postmaster knew nothing Of the
affair until he discovered it him
self this morning as he opened the
place of business.
Just what the amount of the
loss is has not yet been dctermin-
ed, or was not heard when the
message was received here, but
practically all of the belongings
of Uncle Sam that were in the
office at the time the parties en-
tered were carried off.
The huntsville post office is To-
Gated III a store building at Burns
vile, and several articles from the
store were also taken.
Deputy Hanley, Ed Forsythe
and N. G. Fife, deputies, returned
to Corinth about II o'clock hav-
ing five white men, strangers,
whom tney arrested ABOUT one
mile east of Corinth.
These parties were at first held
as suspects in the safe hlesriagg g.
"A Iii5so,sgh sea was made Of.
each person, and the strangers
were questioned by Post Office
Inspector Mcneil. They were re-
ported to be from different states
in the north, and it is supposed by
authorities that they are tourists.
They resisted arrest and on this
charge were brought to Corinth
and placed in the custody Of
Sheriff Madden.
It was learned about noon that
there was 800 in cash missing,
and about $50 worth of postage
stamps.

4-AA.A-
Mondays Daily.
The annual Alcorn County
Field Dey exercises proved very
successful. One OF the largest
crowds ev~r seen in Corinth on
similar occasions was that Of Sat-
urday. Thr exercises opened at
10 a. M, and a few choice selec-
tons rendered by the Sheesley
band, attrac ing quite a number
Of visitors, ia ing the capacity Of
the court roc. N, where the liter
airy program was given.
The officers in charge Of the ex-
ercises, Profs. w. A. McCord, J.
A. Raymond and Miss Lorena
Phillips, were very. efficient in
arranging the details, and moth
ing was left undone to make the
occasion a memorable event.
Corinth was indeed glad Of the
opportunity Of entertaining the
corps of teachers, young women
and young men, the cream Of the
country.
Their parts in the program
showed to a splendid advantage
the accomplishments of the past
school term, and those parts could
not be improved upon. They were
faultlessly rendered. There is no
one who does not commend the
efforts Of the teachers and pupils,
and again we say Corinth was in
deed glad Of their presence in our
city.
Immediately after the lunch
hour and a few minutes recrea-
ton, the athletic program was en-
tered upon on the campus Of the
High School, where hundreds of
visitors assembled to witness the

 Tade-GainS Thirteen Pounds

If il had not been for that Tanlac I couldn't nave gone to the Confeder- ate Reunion at Memphis on the Sth of October and marched afoot for nearly three miles in the big parade" " said Frank E Kend1ick, who lives at 4S00 Charlotte avenue, Nashville. Mir. Kendricl is one of Nashville's oldest and best known citizens.

Kendrick saw service throughout the civil war. and was wounded four different times. During the winter, said Mir, Ken dTicE, T suffered intensely with rheumatism, and when springtime caue went ali to pieces. I had just about made up my mind that my end was not very fa1 off. It look cd like l was on the verge of a gen el al physical decline, and l had about apsDared of ever walking again. l Gsm seventy years of age, have fought
 q good fight and proven my record, and was ready 10 20. But since l &ol hold of Tanlac | have sci my head to round out ninety years, and from lhc way | feel now | believe l will do it. Before I began taking this m"dl- cine l was rapidly losing what little strength and flesh l had, and was so
 weak and facilitated it was all l could de to walk from the bed to hr chair, and even that required great cXcIton. ] had no appetite at all, couldn't sleep to do any good and was aWfnlly nervous. My flesh seemed to dry and l suffered a great deal with headache.
 "I doctored and doctored, but did moi shcw any sign of improvement. l attributed my failure to gel relief 10 ny old age and declining physical powers. But l made a bad guess, be- cause after taking Tanlac two weeks felt better and younger than ] had felt in years. l am now on my ninth bottle. and am actually thirteen pounds heavier than l was before l began taking Tanlac. My clothes were too large-now they are far too small, and 1 guess l will have to buy clothes that will fit me comfortably. To make a long story short-the medicine just seemed 10 fill me with new life and energy and put me right on my feet l have a fine appetite now.
 AS l told you before, can now walk anywhere, and have thrown my cane aside, because l don't need It any more, except for bad eyesight spent four days in Memphis at the reunion, and just tramped around all over town with the boys. All around were men who gave out during the parade, but at the end l was right there, and didn't feel the least bit tired l just got back few days ago, and am awfully glad to tell you what Tanlac has done for me. If l had the money, l would buy every old soldier bottle of Tanlac, because believe it would add years to their lives"

ASK YOUR NEIGHBORS.

It used to be the custom-and may be now on remote farms-for the housewife to use her own knowledge, good sense and judgment in dealing with sickness in the family before sending for the doctor, unless in seri- ous emergencies. After that, when there was no immediate danger she would talk with her neighbors, wo- men who had had experience with sickness.
 Any woman who suffers from ail- ments peculiar to her sex will do well to ask her neighbors. She should easily find one who has used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Just ask her about it! (Advt.)

The division of authority along the Mexican border was recommended t0 he war department two week. ago by General Funston, He suggested to the department that if general field operations Tn MeElco were nndertak- en greater efficiency would De dis played by the American army if three major generals were placed in com manG
 In his recommendations General Funston suggested that h sinowt Funston suggested that his own com mand be reduced to line extending from the gulf to 8, point a short dis tance east of Fl Paso, leaving Fl Paso in the district that has been placed in charge of General Pershing. Official notification of the depart ment's action had not been communi- cated to General Funston when the news came in press dispatches. which indicated that Fl Paso had been left in hts command.
 The division of the long border line command is a part of the plan worked out for general operations f that should become necessary. To Genera! Funston's staff his recon mcndations were known, but careful ly kept secret as being d too vital part of the army plan for premature publicity. Whether any one major general will be sent south to be in supreme command is doubted by army officers here.
 The designation of Rrigadier-Gcn- cral Pershine as commander of the new department of New Mexico was taken as an Indication that his lro motion to a major general is cOntem plated.
