CHILDREN

MATCHES;
/ BURNED
TO DEATH
TEDDY HueHART, 21z YEAR OLD
IGNITES PAJAMAS WHILE AT
PLAY AND is FRlGHTFulLY
BURNED BEFORE PLIGHT Is
DISCOVERED BY PARENTS.

Teddy Herschel Hughart, aged two
and a half years, youngest son OF
MIR. and Mrs. w. w. Hughart, died
at the hospital here at 10:45 O'Clock
this morning from the effects OF
a burn received several hours earlier
in the day at the family home around
Soda point The little fellow and
his brother, Owen, who is four and
a half years of age, awakened about
O'Clock this morning and a short
time later got out of bed for a romp
in the sleeping porch in their night
clothes before breakfast. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hughart had already arisen and were
out at the barn; the former feeding
his horse and the latter looking after
the chickens.
The children in their play discover.
ed box of matches on a shelf and
thought it would be great fun to ignite
a few of them. In doing this Teddy
in some manner accidentally set his
pajamas on fire and was frightfully
burned before his plight was discov-
cred All of the right side of his
body from the ankle to the shoulder
and along his back was blistered by
the heat, which was intensified by the
burning of the flannel undergarments
he wore. The screams of the children
attracted the attention of Mr.. and
Mrs Hughart and they rushed to the
house to find the victim in great
agony from the flames. As soon as
they were able to extinguish the fire
a physician was summoned by tele
phone; the parents devoting them
selves before his arrival in endea-
voring to mitigate the suffering of
the little fellow by bathing his
wounds with olive oil.
The examination made by the ply
st enabled him to understand the
seriousness of the child's injuries. On
his recommendation the patient was
taken to the hospital where he might
be given the most careful treatment
and nursing. For short time after
his arrival at the hospital the little
fellow did not appear to suffer
great deal and his parents and at
tendants were hopeful that a favor.
able turn in his condition had taken
place. but at 1870 he went into con-
vulsions and died a few minutes af-
terwards.
The tragic death of the little fellow
and the unusual character of the ac-
cident which produced it have ELECTED
the utmost public interest of the com
munity and Mr. and Mrs. Hushart
have the sympathy of multitude of
friends in the bereavement that
has befallen them.
The funeral will take place from
Wilson's undertaking chapel at 2
O'Clock Thursday afternoon and will
be conducted by Rev. Armentraut
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church.

Road Contract Let

The Board of Supervisors on
Wednesday let the contracts for
the construction of the macadam
roads in the fourth and fifth
districts. There were quite g
number of bidders present, and
the districts were thus able to
secure the best terms possible
for the construction of their
roads.
The contracts for the greater
portion of the roads ia the fourth
district were let to Mack Davis,
of Tupelo, with the exception of
the first and second links, which
went to F. D. Harvey & Co., of
Memphis. The latter firm Sc
cured the contract for all of the
fifth district with the exception
of link six, which went to Mack
Davis. A contract was also let
to complete the Tupelo and Pom
totoc road to Bissell. This link
also went to Mack Davis.
The fourth district road begins
at a point on the Itawamba line
east of Richmond running
through Richmond, Plantersville,
Verona and on to the Pontotoc
line at a point near Charley Nc
Cullough's. The fifth district
road begins on the Itawamba
line at Riley's store. following
the old road into Nettleton, On
to Shannon and ending at Pom
itocola on the Pontotoc line. The
work will be completed as soon
as practicable.
With the completion of these
roads the fourth and fifth dis
tricts will be covered with per-
manent highways which will
reach practically every section
of the districts. The people OF
these districts are to be congrat-
ulated upon the prospect of get
ting out of the mud.

Stockholders Meeting

The annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Tupelo Fer
tilizer Factory was held Monday
at which a majority of the stock
holders were present and repre-
sented. The statement as SUBJ
mitted by the general manager,
Mr.. Boyle, was highly gratifying,
as the business had shown a very
healthy condition during the
strenuous times of the past two
years. While the sales during
the past year of fertilizers were
not as great as formerly, due to
the unsettled conditions of busi-
ness and lack of some material,
yet the factory was fortunate in
being heavily stocked with other
acids and chemicals in excess of
their needs. which they were able
to dispose of at good prices.
With this condition, the busi-
ness proved to be very satisfac-
tory and a dividend of six per
cent. for the years 1914, 1915 and
1916 were paid.
In addition to this dividend a
liberal amount was added to the
surplus and up-keep account,
which places the surplus account
now at S148, 600, which is greater
than the capital stock.
The president, C. P. Long, and
general manager. Mr.. Boyle,
have been very active in bring
ing about this happy condition
for the affairs of the company
and were congratulated by the
stockholders, as was the entire
board of directors.
The plant is now being oper
ated on full capacity. making up
fertilizer material for another
season. The same officers and
directors were reelected, as fol-
lows:
c. P. Long, president; J. M.
Allen, vice-president; L. M. b.
gle, secretary-treasurer and man.
ager; j. @. Robins, w. D. An
derson, c. w. Troy, E. C. Kinds,
