the free ward hunting and the
license is good for all parts Of the
State and does not restrict hunting

issued, the license has to be on your
person whenever yeu are hunting ST
that it can be inspected by any ON

MOUND VS.. TALLUl All.
Receiver.

The Journal is indebted to the
Vicksburg Herald for the following
interesting account Of last Sunday )
game:
Mound. La, August 2Sth. 1916.
To The Herald:
The most interesting local event of
the season came off yesterday, when
a nine inning game between Mound
and TaIlulah was played in the High
School Park. The game had been
widely advertised and was looked for
ward to with great interest; excite
ment had been running high for
several days, high as it only runs
when one small town is thoroughly
conscious of the undeniable fact that
another small town is tasty out
distancing it in the race. In fairness
to Mound. however, We must admit
that no anxiety was shown; our con-
fidence was never shaken; we were
interested true. but confidently so
and our only doubt was as to how
overwhelming our victory would be.
The result showed that our cynlca
confidence was not based on mere
arrogant presumption.
We were frankly disappointed II
the game: we had beat Tallulah 81
badly in the previous game that W.
, hoped they would be strongly rein
: forced for the next one; in fairnes
to TalIulah and considering thei
resources they surely did make al
effort to get a strong lineup; tn
team consisted of the pick Of Delhi

resort TO strike is a wholly unneces-
sary and wasteful procedure, disas-
trous to both sides of the controversy,
and this second appeal to your sense
Of fairness is made in the hope that
you-who have always been con-
sidered faithful and efficient en-
ployes-may recognize the justice Of
the Company's position and remain
loyal to its service.
Employees who decide to disregard
the strike order and remain in the
service Of the Company will receive
ample protection in the discharge of
their duties.
Many Of you have spent a business
life time in the service of the Mis-,
souri, Pacific Iron Mountain and have
families and homes, and are pleas
antly located among your relative:
and friends.

swallow their disappointmentln long
and frequent draughts of soda-pop.
The result Of the game, s TO U IN
favor Of Mound does not indicate the
disparity in the teams; Mound could
with the greatest of ease have doubled
and even tribeled the score. They
virtually played with them and
around them; they refused to take
them seriously; they had no more
chance of scoring tt an the proverbial
SNOWFALL in Hades." To sum 1t up,
what We really did witness was an
entirely onesided game, an exhibition
of skill and headwork of a high
order against laundering, incompe-
tent. amateurish mediocrity.
Regarding the Mounds team it
would be odiOus to pick out any one
for special comment where every one
was excellent and in tip-top condi-
ton. Outside the great leagues we
have seldom seen our battery eQualed
and certainly never excelled.
| We hope Mr.. Allen will be able to
| do better next year-out OF charity
to our neighbors this we hope! In
this connection it is only fair to say
that a great deal of credit Is due to
Mr.. Cakes and Mr.. Hammock for the
E zeal with which they labor for, and
the splendid way in which they
) handled the Mound team; We also
gratefully recognize the services of

preference to baseball players in his
