fifth or top floor, which is vacant, and
had been locked up. Smoke being OBJ
served by a passerby, an alarm was
given.
r. E. Backenstoss who has a barber
shop, and Samuel Bernstein. who con-
ducts a clothing store on the ground
floor of the building. ran upstairs and
with five fire eXtinguishers tried to put
out the blaze, but smoke drove them away
The fire was speedily quelled with
chemicals when the fremen arrived.
Very little water was used. so the damage
from water will be small.
The cause of the fire was not estab-
liShed.

A Question of Tongue.

rom The London Chronicle.
Some amount of confusion is likely to
arise from the varying statements that
the French have taken Kuprulu, or
y@Ies, in Macedonia. The difference in
nomenclature is attributable to the con-
fict of tongues. Kuprulu. Koprulu or
Kuprin. is the Turkish equivalent of
the Bulgarian Valesa and the Greek
velissa. all of which refer to the same
town in the vilayet tas 1t was under
Turkish rule) of Saloniki The
ancient Greek historian Polybius speaks
of the town of BylaZors, and 1t is be-
lieved that the Bulgarian and modern
Greek names are corruptions of this
The Turkish form. with slight modifi-
cation, is the cognomen of a family of
statesmen who fourished from the six

Fine Ytock Bought

I. c. Lauderdale, of Shannon,
was here Monday morning for
the purpose of delivering to Will
Hunt, of Corona. a bunch of
Holstein cattle which he had sold
Mr.. Hunt.
The cattle had been driven
through from Shannon and in
cluded twelve cows and heifers
and one male. They were all
under three years old and a fine
looking body, and representative
OF the famous Holstein breed.
The Holstein is fast being re-
cognized as one of the great
dairying and beef cattle, com
bination which is now command
ing attention among cattle breed
ers. The Holstein stands at the
head of the list as a milk cow,
the A. & M. College owning one
that gives ten gallons of milk a
day. AS a dairy cow. while the
milk is not asrich as that of the
Jersey, the quantity from the
Holstein more than offsets the
difference and far surpasses the
Jersey as beef cattle. The
males in the Jersey class are
worthless as beef, while the Hol-
stems are placed among the first
in the beef class.
Mr.. Hunt is taking forward
step in the matter of meeting
the changed conditions and will
profit by his determination to no
longer follow up cotton planting
as the chief source of revenue on
his farm. Cattle breeding is the
surest and safest route to pros
perity on the farm, and the lead
ers in this movement are doing
a public service in furnishing a
practical demonstration of how
the proposition will work out.

Mississippi Hiehwaymen.

An incident of the visit of Mis-

way convention, heldin Birming
Ram last week, occurred at the
Morris hotel which aroused a lit
tie mefriment among the visitors
when informed or it.
A travelling man at the hotel
seeing the bunch Of rough and

negro bell boy what it all meant.
The negro said that he did not
know who they were nor what
they were there for, but he
thought they were set of Mis- ;
issippi highwaymen.

Lee County Fair

The Lee County Fair which
opened Tuesday morning, is the
best fair we have ever had. The
exhibits of live stock, including
horses, mules. colts, hogs and
cattle. are revelations to the peo-
pie of the county who have new
er before seen such a collection
of good animals brought togeth
ser in one of our fairs.
The agricultural exhibit en-
brace a variety which cannot be
exceeded in any agricultural dis
play.
The corn club boys, the pig
club boys and the canning club
girls are there with the very best
in every line.
The arrangement of the dis
plays is the work of an artist in
that line and under the direction
of Mr.. J. E. Ruff these have
been placed to an advantage.
Miss Bolt, at the head of the do
mestic science department, with
her assistants, has on display
canned goods put up by Lee
county girls that rival the ia
NOUS California exhibits.
The poultry exhibit was small,
but the entries are first class and
the birds would be prize winners
in any poultry show.
The hogs include all of the
best breeds such as the Hamp-
shire, Poland China, Duroc Jer.
-sey, Berkshire, and O. l. G.
Members of the boys pig club
have an extraordinary good COL
lection and their entries are re-
.ceiving much praise from all
who inspect them.
The cattle include the best
breed of beef and miik-the
Jersey, Red Poll, Hereford, Poll
Angus, and Hoistem. Many
stands of young mules, mule
colts and horses were entered
and the judges found difficulty in
selecting the best in the lot
where all were GOOD. There
were Jacks. Jennies and colts
that were high bred and regis
tered. One pair of deer, the
property Of Rufus Mckinney, Of
Andrews Chapel, attracted much
attention.
la the ladies work department
there were many artistic pieces
of handiwork which were beau
tiful and valuable.
The races each day were good
and the crowds were highly COM
plimentary of the exhibits and
the events of each day. Every
body who attended pronounced
this the best fair ever had in Tu-
pelo.
The aviators who contracted to
fiy during the week disappointed
the managers, who regretted
this feature had to be omitted af-
ter being advertised.
