Gunless Hunter.

The gunless hunting championship
is confidently claimed by the Beverly
Dispatch for A. A. Forrest, the promi-
nent nimrod Of Beverly, who, ,strolling
afield the other day, dispatched two
plump and subsequently succulent rab-
bits by hurting apples at them, and a
third by the digging-out-of-hole-with-
sharp-stick method. Mr.. Forrest, who
has a sort of primal sense of humor,
afterward stated in his pithy way that
he never yet had heard of a nimrod's s
untimely demise through climbing a
fence with an unloaded apple or sharp
stick in his hand.-Ohio State Journal.

The hostess and honoree greet

Morgan pale green silk and lace.
A lovely little lass dispensed
delicious ''frappe" to each guest,
after which they we're conducted.

present were allowed the pleas
ure of viewing the dainty as well
as useful gifts "showered" upon

great number and beauty attest

very prettiest.
Mouldon. Miss. is on the main
line of the M. & O. Railroad in
what is known as the Black Belt.
This section is famous for its
wonderful alfalfa crops. and Mr..
Evans is probably the biggest of
all the alfalfa growers in that
section. | know of no man who
is more deeply and intensely in
terested in building up the rural
South than Mr.. J. E. Evans,
and it will be not only a pleasant
trip to attend this sale, but &C.
tually profitable. i, s.
Sunnyside is so beautifully
kept, so perfectly managed that
it looks more like some million
aires country estate than what
it actually is, a money-making
farm. The house in which Mr..
Evans lives is an old Colonial
home, built before he was born
and resting in a beautiful grove
of trees.
To go to this sale means to see
and learn a lot, not about fancy
farming, but about progressive
farming.
An electric power outfit lights
his house and barns, pumps his
water and furnishes power in his
dairy, milk house and barnes.
At Sunnyside, too, Mr.. Evans
maintains a money-making, up
to-date, thoroughly equipped
dairy, where the best butter it is
possible to make is always in
great demand. He probably has
a hundred head of registered Jer-
sey cattle second to none in
America. and yet there is not an
animal on the place but what Mr..
Evans requires to make a living
at the pail, under the exacting
requirements of a Babcock tester
and a pair of scales.

boost Mr.. Evans sale, and give

Gov. Bilbo Speaks

Monday morning. He was intro
duced by Hon. P. E. Carothers.
The govener prefaced his re-
marks by stating that during his
canvass last year he had promis-
ed the people that, if he was
elected, he would give an account
of his stewardship at frequent
intervals during his term of Office
He drew a parallel between the
private business affairs of Indi
viduals. and the affairs Of the
county and state. The banks
and other corporations have
boards of directors with their
chairman, and the state has its
board of officers and hat he is
the chairman by virture of his
office of governor of this board.
Occupying this position, it be-
comes his duty to give an account
of his stewardship to the people
who elected him to this import
ant position. The governor
stated that the matters that he
would discuss, were not his bust
ness. but the business of the en-.
tire people. He, therefore. took
as his subject Your Business"
The work of the Legislature
was taken up seriatim, and the
effect of the various measures
enacted into laws were discussed.
The governor gave his unquali.
fled endorsement to these meas
ures and urged the people to
accept all remediable statutes
and to join in making effective
the progressive measures which
were passed. He explained the
workings of the Game Law and
showed that it was practically
the same law relating to that
subjuct that had been on the
statute book for many years.
The only difference was that an
officer had been named in the bill
whose duty it wauld be to see
that the law was enforced. That
this officer had no salary and
that the expenses of his office
were collected by fine from the
violators of the law, and that the
So tax from residents and a SIS
tax from non-residents collected
went into the common fund for
e tucation Of the children of the
state. That the law was passed
to protect the farmers whose
crops were protected from the
ravages of insects by the birds;
that without the birds, within
five years it would be impossible
to raise crops of any description.
He announced that he fully en-.
dorsed the Quart Law and that he
was a prohibitionist. In his
opinion, it was one of the best
bills passed by the Legislature
The Tick Eradication Law was
fully explained and showed that
Mississippi had been commended
by other states for this forward
step in cattle raising. That the
state, on account of it's splendid
grasses, its fine climate, and
many advantages, was taking
the lead as a cattle. growing
state, and that. whether the peO-
pie knew it or not, they would be
forced to adopt cattle raising as
one of the best means of avert
ing the disaster which the boil
weevil is sure to bring.
He expressed surprise that Lee
County did not have an Agricul-
tur Il High School, and that we
were 80 far behind with the con
soIidated schools. He. told the
people that they must make up
their minds to give up the little
school house on the hill, and to
inaugurate as early as practical
