EMPTY SLEEVE COT kENN0N
LOCAL P0sTM TERsHIP
DEATH OF FORMER COLUMBIAN
RECALLS NOTABLE INCL
DENT.

The death Of w. II. Kennon,
which recently occurred at jackson,
has caused Hon. John T. Wood a
prominent local citizen, to recall an
incident which occurred in 1875.
when President Grant appointed Mr.
kennon postmaster at Columbus,
which position he held until 1885,
when he removed to Jackson.
1t seems that other applicants
had been introduced to the Presi-
dent as General, Colonel, Major or
Captain Blank, and when it came to
the turn of Mr. Kenuon, who had
lost an arm in the service of the
Union army, he was introduced sim
ply as Mr.. Kennon. General Grant
noted his empty sleeve and said:
"Mr. Kennon, you seem to be the
only man from your section who
done any real fighting" and he
thereupon gave him the appointment
as postmaster.

FRENCH AND GERMANS, FOR
THE MOMENT, OEA0LQCKED
FIGHTING ON VERDUN FRONT
HAS AGAIN COME TO A
STAND STILL.

London, May 10.-The French
and German forces fighting to the
northwest of Verdun apparently,
for the moment at least, are dead
locked, the Germans being unable
to advance further and French at
tempts to expel the invaders from
captured positions being unavailing
To the east and northeast of Verdun
where violent infantry attacks and
bombardments have characterized
the recent fighting, only intermit-
tent cannonading is now going on.
The only infantry engagement re-
ported anywhere along the French
front was launched by the Germans
against a French trench to the west
of Hill 304, northwest Of Verdun.
The French, however, brought into
play their curtain of fire and the
Germans were unable to debouche.
The shelling by the Germans Of
the Russians at the Ikskull bridge
head on the eastern line, which has
been in progress for many days,
still continues. There has been mil
itary activity on various other sec
tors Of the Russian front, but no in
fantry manuevering of Importance
has been reported.

EfFORTS BEING MADE TO
ORGANIZE BALI. CLUB
HERE.
COLLEGE PLAYERS
TO BE SECURED
Business Men Are Subscribing
Literally to the Expense
Fund.

Games played here by College
teams during the past few weeks
have aroused so much interest in
baseball that local fans have inaug-
urated a movement to organize
regular team and have met with en-
thusiastic support on the part of
merchants and business men, many
Of whom have contributed literally
TO the fund which is being raised for
organization purposes
Charles Kuykendal, local auto
mobile man, is at the head of the
movement, and is in correspondence
with several college players of rec
ognized ability, among them being
Kinney, the star twirler Of the sag
gies," and Rogers, the famous A. &
NJ backstop. Both Of these players
have been seen in college games
played here this season and both are
extremely popular among local fans.
Amateur teams have organized in
several towns nearby, including
Tupelo, West Point and Brooksville,
in Mississippi, and Vernon and Re-
form in Alabama, and it may be that
Columbus will unite with these
towns in forming a league to play
regularly scheduled games.
