C|TY'S BARGAIN DAY
HELD HERE TOMORROW
THREE OF THE LARGEST EsTAB-
LIsHMENTs ARE TO HAVE
SPECIAL SALES.

Tomorrow probably will stand out |
for long time as the biggest bar
gain day Hattiesburg has seen IN |
years. Three of the largest dry goods |
and ready-to-wear houses in the city, |
The Davidson Company, J. S. Turner
& Co., and O'Ferralls, have announced
big bargain sales to begin tomorrow,
and it is likely that the shopping sec
tion of the city will be well crowded
by Hattiesburg women, eager to accept
the opportunities offered, as well as
by hundreds of out-of-town purchasers.
The Davidson Company is Offering
the entire stock of The Davidson Dry
Goods Company, of Laurel, at greatly
| reduced prices. The Laurel store went
out of business on the first of the year
and the entire stock has been moved
to Hattiesburg and for eight days only
the shoppers of this section will have
the opportunity of buying from this
stock at sale prices. After eight days
the regular prices of the merchandise
will be restored.
Although the stock is to be sold at
prices far below the actual worth OF
the merchandise, all of the goods are
of the Davidson quality. No cheap,
fill-in stock has been purchased espe-
cialIy for this sale, but all of the ex-
ira merchandise is regular Davidson
stock, removed from Laurel to Hatties-
burg. In addition to the Laurel stock,
much of the regular stock of the local
store has been marked down. The
sale has been more extensively adver
tised than any similar event this com
pany has put on in many years anc

STAMFORD
Especial to The Farmer.O

Stratford, April 28-At a meeting of the board of selectmen last even- ing at the town hall it was decided to send Mrs. C. E. Stagg of East Broad way, another letter notifying her to move back her fence and to level the dump at Ferry Creek bridge. Com plaints. have been forwarded to the se1ectmen requesting that immediate attention beg iven to these matters. A letter was written to Mrs Stagg some time ago asking her to remove her fence as two or three persons had stumbled over it and had been injur- ed The fence is about a foot and a half high. According to the select men shep romised to remove the fence Up to the meeting last even ing her promise was not fulfilled. Many petitions have been sent to Clerk HaId C. Lowell about the dump at Ferry Creek bridge Tined comments state that the dump is an eyesore. The selectmen will send Mrs. Stagg another letter asking why the work was not done If it is not carried out soon. the /selectmen say it will be done by the town at Mrs. Stagg's expense.
 Another matter discussed at the meeting was throwing ashes in the highways The board of selectmen passed an ordinance year ago for bidding jumping ashes or any other refuse into any of the streets or the highways of the town. The board printed in the annua1 town report The penalty attached is $50. Some persons have ignored the ordinance and have dumped and scattered ashes even in some of the most used thor ougtfares of the town Complains were lodged with the seIectmen who institute investigation.
 It was voted to accept the. proposi- ton of the Southern New England Telephone Go. for town phone ser vice.
 The se1ectnnen voted that the cost of any telephone installed in any pri- vate residence except the residence of the fire hief will not paid by the town as heretofore. The only teIe- phone that the town is paying for at present is at the family residence of Judge Charles H. Peck. Linden ave- nue.
 All the bids for lowering waste pipes the East Broad street creek bridge were rejected as they exceeded the appropriation of $500. New bids will be opened by the se1ectmen in a few days
 George Botsford of Huntington road was appointed a special officer last evening until Oct. 1, 1916. Of late there has been much rowdyism in that section.
 Because of the increased traffic of the last few months especially at the Center a silent policeman will be placed at the intersection of East Broadway, Main and Church streets. This will aid automobiles who are unfamiliar with the roads leading to Shelton and Ne wHaven.
 It was voted to rent James Vena1- gia part of the island in the Housa- tonic river for $5 a year.
 The matter of placing school signs , throughout the town was left in the hansd of First Selectman James LaIly.

The dis tinguished artist now in America on his tenth tour of this@country un- der the. direction of c. A. Ellis of Boston, will give a recital in the Park theatre next Tuesday evening
 All accounts agree that Paderewski is now at the very height of his ma ture powers. There has been no one like him or to compare with him.
 He is unique in the world of art, and no one, however remotely interested in music, can well afford to miss the opportunity to- hear him. The tick cts for his concert are on sale at Steinert's Music Store.

 PLOT TO MURDER WOMAN

her head and the blood streamed rom the wound" Veteri wrote for Capt. Jones. Then he hit her some more to be sure that she was dead" ,"
 Castella in his confession wrote that he believed his wife was dead when he left her lying on the floor. He took a diamond necklace and several rings from her and gave them to Veteri with instructions to throw them away. Then the two men hurried from the house. At the railroad station they mailed 8 postcard ad- dressed to Caste11a informing him of the e1opement- This he believed would serve as an alibi in case her parents questioned him concerning her where abouts.
 I've came back to New York and the next day, when the card was de- livereds to my flat, I tried to sell the furniture so I could get away" Cas- te11a told the police
 While the two men had carried out every detail in the plot to murder Mrs. Castella. who died in the New Haven hospital without regaining con- sciousn ess on Monday, they left be- hind evidence sufficient to convict them even if they had not confessed.
 The note Veteri wrote to Mrs. Nun son proved his visit to the house, and yesterday dekectfves found the dead woman's trinkets at the home of one of Veteri's friends. There were also cards from Caste11a to Veteri which showed his knowledge of the nur- der.
 Before signing their confessions the two men in note begged Capt. ones to have them sent to the electric chair as soon as possible.
 Coroner Mix will arraign the men for the murder as soon as they reach New Haven, which probably will be tom orrow

ECONOMY OF THE UNBREAKABL1
Kitchen Ware In More Permanent
Form Than Formerly

With the modern tendency to efici
enev comes a tendency to think
about what one is doing every day, and
count the cost. 1t would be in
tercsting to know how much mon
ey the average American home run on
a moderate income loses by broken
dishes. Up to a comparatively recent
time, nearly all the dishes used in the
kitchen were breakable. Mixing bowls,
measuring cups, baking dishes, jars,
containers, even milk pans sometimes,
were earthernware. OF course, they were
sometimes odd pieces of old sets, but
these do not 20 far in cooking for q
family. Sooner or later most of the
big pieces were sure to come to grleI.
The pitcher with the broken nose
might last a long time if it was only
used to hold the buckwheat batter. but
a broken nose is distinct disadvan-
tape to a pitcher when it comes t0
pouring. None of these dishes cost
less than ten or fifteen cents, and some
cost a dollar or more. In the course
| of a wear. or five years, the expense of
jreplacing broken earthernware amount
/ ed to something.
| Then came the era of unbreakabie
kitchen dishes-not only pots and pans,
| but bowls, cups, pitchers. jars, pals
cans. fish-kettles, coffee pots, all IL
| trig, trim cnameled ware of almost
any imaginable color. Not only did il
displace the breakabIe earthern plates
and pots and Jugs. and bowls. hut II
crowded out the perishable tin stuff
that was always liable to spring {
leak, rust. or get jammed. With ever
an average amount of care an enamel
ed saucepan viii last until you pet
tired of it and give it away; it vii
not break, it will not leak, it will no.
rust. If we have all our kitchen thing:
in this permanent form. we can affor,
to give little extra care and money
to our dainty china for the table. An(
the best of it is that the kitchen uten
sils will also be dainty and attractive
to look at. Economy is sometimes thu
road to beauty.
