Dale Carr. who now lives at Albu.

IDENTIFY forgiven Brook for the
famous cussin' out Brook gave him
years ago; it seems that Brook and
Dale went partners in some trot lines
they set out in the Noxubee river.
They were to get up and inspect these
trot lines before day in the morning..
Brook got up at what he thought was
an extraordinary early hour and went
down to the boat landing where he
waited for Dale. Dale did not come
and, although Brook has one of the
sweetest tempers in the world, he got
a little r~esentful; just when his temper
was at full tide here came Dale down
the river from an inspection of the
trot lines, having been prompt in get
ting to the river and not waiting very
long for his piscatorial coadjutor. 1t
is said that what Brook said to Dale
was absolutely convincing proof of the
old adage Beware the fury of a
patient man." His language was
formidable" to a degree, and 1--WE
Do Not Speak AS We Pass By" was
their attitude for months. This quar-
rel saved the lives Of a tremendous lot

A big crowd from the Brooksville
district was in Macon, Wednesday.
Brooksville and Macon cannot agree it
seems on where they will connect their
good roads so as to form a link in the
Jackson highway. There is a good
deal of disappointment and dissatisfac-
ton in the county over the failure or
omission to connect so that there will
be a continuous good highway between
the two communities.

Among the important things done by

Among the important things done by
the board Of supervisors at its meeting
this week was the letting of the con-
tract to build a brick culvert just east
of Cline's brick yard. Mr.. L. C. Cline
received the contract and the culvert
will be similar to the one built by him
on the line last spring. The contract
price is $4,000. A fine steel bridge was
built across a slough on the levee
about eighteen months ago and we
have been informed that with the COM
p~letion of this culvert the sum of SO, 600
will have been spent for bridges and
~oulverts Oh the road in the last two
years.
Mr.. Cavett Binion and young son of
Chickasha, Okla, are visiting his IN
cles, Mr.. A. D. Binion and MIR. E. D.
Cavett, and other relatives in the
county. Mr.. Binion left Macon in his
early manhood and no one would re-
cognize him now, as his hair is tinged
with gray. When he left Macon in the
early eighties Capt. Stokes was princi-
pal of the free SHOOT, as the public
school was then called. Bush's hotel
was then standing back on the lot now
occupied by Spessard and the Hardin
stores, and j.. Y. Cooper was doing
business on the corner where Lamber-
son is now. Mr.. Binion has met with
a marked degree of success and is now
sheriff of his county.
Either there are few mules for sale
in the county or the Beacon is a poor
advertising medium, and we can't be-
lieve that is the case as the paper goes
into the home of every farmer in the
county who is able to own a mule
anyway-the board of supervisors ad-
vertised to buy a mule last Tuesday
and not an animal was offered for sale.
Mr.. c. S. Field, who is one of the
road commissioners for District Four,
came up to purchase a mule for road
work in his district and was disap-
pointed in not being able to buy.
DR.. Francis Conner returned yester-
day from the Kansas City Veterinary
College, where he has been studying
veterinary medicine for the last eight
months. He will be an inferno with
DR.. D. S. Barclay and gain practical
knowledge of the matters he has been
studying the theories of until fall
when he will go back to college and
finish the course.
After a seven months term, the
Lynn Greek Consolidated school closed
last week. Prof. Hardin was re-
elected principal, as was also Miss
Lucille Shelton. Mrs. Reed, who has
been with the school since it was
opened has accepted a position in Texas.
Miss Maud Gavin was elected in her
place.

Bisbee daily review., 1916-02-27

Bisbee today because they advertise that they will give you ten months time to pay the bill.
 Your paper contains no such offer from local jewellers and if the reader wants a daimond ring he is more apt to order from the stranger in New York or Chicago who says: 'I believe you are honest and I will trust you" than to go to the local jeweler and run the risk of being turned down on a credit proposition.
 There are honest people in every town who would hesitate to pay s100 cash for a diamond or watch who would buy on the installment plan as it would appeal 10 them like an invest ment or putting, money in the bank.
 Of course these advertisers do not ship out diamonds and watches to Tom, Dick and Harry. Their credit department is model of efficiency and they are reasonably sure of the risk before delivering the goods and each one has an agent in every city of any size in the T.. s.
 Now. why can't the merchants of this town get together and form Credit Bureau. so they will know whose credit is good and whose is not, so they will he in a position to fight these mail order houses with their lat est weapon of attack, CREDIT?

Editor Bisbee Review:

Editor Bisbee Review:
 While we are all talking about the Buy at Home" campaign let's try and find out what the local merchant is do- ing to keep the hard earned dollars in Bisbee.
 It is pleasing to note that so many of our merchants are awaks to the fact that "it pays to advertise" and during the past year you will find that the constant and consistent advertisers are the ones who have been building up their business. putting in new fix lures and seeking larger quarters, while the ones who consider advertis- ing a useless expense" are plodding along in the same old rut.
 To compete with the big mail order houses the local merchant should stu dy their methods of reaching out for customers which we must admit are very successful.
 Smart Man & Co.," reliable furni- ture dealers in Chicago, have advs. in all the leading magazines this month headed "No money in advance" and offer to ship any article you may pick out for your approval If you are pleased with your bargain send them s1OO a month, if not. ship it back and they will stand the freight both ways. Your paper does not contain any such offer from local dealers.
 Again Mouse & Co.," reliable jewel CTS of New York City, offer diamond ring for 20qs cash and 10ft a month until paid for.
