Loesine Highways From
Tupelo

The Tupelo Cotton Mills. back
ed by automobile owners and
others of this section, has formu-
lated a plan to place mile boards
on the main highways leading
out of Tupelo and to extend them
to the main gateways Of automo-
bile travel in six directions.
Last week Frank Walton, rep
resenting the mill, placed mile
boards on the highways south
from Tupelo to Meridian on the
gravel highway via Artesia,
thence over the Jackson highway
to Meridian. AS soon as possible
the other five routes will be
posted leading from Tupelo to
Corinth and Shiloh, Tupelo to
Birmingham, Tupelo to Memphis,
Tupelo to Kosciusko and Jack
son, Miss, Tupelo to Helena,
Ark.
The routes to Memphis will be
via Pontotoc, Oxford and north
to Holly Springs on to Collier
vile, Tenn, thence to Memphis.
With the completion of these
routes tourists can easily travel
these highways from points west
of the Mississippi river, through
Memphis and Helena to Tupelo
and on through Birmingham
through all eastern states.
These mile boards state the
distance to Tupelo and are placed
every mile along the route and
at every road fork and cross road
with arrow pointing the direction
to go. Travel over the roads
of Northeast Mississippiwill thus
be made easy for the tourists
and the logging will bring Tupelo
prominently to the front as a
center from which all the good
roads of Northeast Mississippi
diverge.

Arrested ON Charge of Dyna.
miting.

The dipping watts near Bob Cor
bits and Nat Gholston's in the
eastern portion of the first dis
trict have been blown up twice
since the dipping of cattle went
into effect and the officers were
called upon to locate the offend
ers. Sheriff Trapp secured a
detective from the W. J. Burns
Detective Agency of New Or
leans and put him to work on the
case. AS result of his labors
and Investigations there are now
five young men in Jail with the
charge of dynamiting lodged
against them. These are Ed
Mink, Wade Chism. Hughey
Mabry,, Will Ivy, white, and
Levy Grice, a negro. Sheriff
Trapp located Ed Mink near Big
Bay, Arkansas, and brought him
back to Tupelo Saturday night.
Mink was picking cotton at the
time of his arrest. The officers
feel like they have sufficient tes-
timony to convict these parties.
There was trouble from the
first in the northeast portion of
the county. A number of people
objected to the dipping and did
all they could to prevent the law
being carried out. Twice the
vats were blown up. but each
time they were rebuilt and the
work continued. Practically all
of the herds of cattle are now in
the free class and there will
doubtless be no further trouble
over the matter.
The defendants will be granted
bail in sufficient amount. pend
ing the action Of the grand jury.

Farm Experts Here

Farm experts from Memphis,
: A. & M. College and experiment
stations made a tour of the coun-
ty this week and delivered speech
es before large audiences at every
appointment.
Messrs. C. F. Ames of the
Holly Springs experiment sta
tion, and DIR. TAFT Butler. editor
of the Progressive Farmer, spoke
at Nettleton Wednesday morn
ing, Shannon, Wednesday after
noon and at Sherman Wednesday
night. Good audiences met them
at all places. but at Sherman
there was a record breaking
! crowd. They spoke at Verona
Thursday morning, at Tupelo
Thursday afternoon and atPlant-
sersville Thursday night. Today
they visit Saltillo, Guntown and
Baldwin.
These experts are divulging to
our people the secret, if secret it
be. of prosperity, regardless of
the boil weevil. They advocate
the planting during the fall
months of burr clover. crimson
clover, winter oats and wheat.
They advocate the planting for
an early pasture this fall and for
grain to sell next spring of a
large acreage in Texas red rust
proof oats. For a money crop
they advocate the planting of a
limited acreage in cotton which,
worked under proper conditions,
would yield a sufficient crop Of
cotton to supply the demand and
at the same time bring much
better price than the crops are
usually sold for.
They deprecate the fact that
fhe labor is leaving this section.
This is the wealth producing class
and they should be kept here
wherever it is possible to do so.
They present other sections in a
bad state. where the labor was
permitted to leave.
Those who were in this county
were Prof. C. F. Ames, Holly
Sorings Experiment Station;
Prof. j. F. Mckay, A. & M Col

Tupelo Floral Company

The advantages of Tupelo as q
business center has never been
more thoroughly demonstrated
than in the case of the Tupelo
Floral Co., which was established
in June. 1915, in West End. The
site selected was some vacant
lots grown up with weeds, but
eligible and well adapted for the
purposes for which it was Sc
cured. The founder Of the busi-
ness, Mr.. ]. B. Mabry, of Aber-
deem. came here with the deter
mlnation to accept the opportun-
ity offered here in forai COM
pany. Within a short time he
had his greenhouses built and
filled with all the flowers de-
manded by the trade.
He met with success from the
beginning and his sales the first
six months were far beyond his
expectations. The first of jan
uary Mr.. G. W. B. Smith bought
an interest in the business, and
looks after the office work, for
which he is splendidly fitted.
Since that time they have con-
tinued to- increase the capacity
of the plant and additional green
houses have been constructed
while many flowers have been
grown on the outside.
Cut flowers are kept through a
regular greenhouse refrigerator
which preserves them indefinitely
as fresh as if taken from the
stem. A new packing house has
just been constructed where all
designs are made and goods pre-
pared for shipment. Mr.. Mabru
is an experienced florist. hauill
been raised in the business u Y
spent bis he:hood il tbs
houses at Columbus and The Idle
wild greenhouses of Memphis
where he studied the art of floral
designs. In this work he is an
expert and his designs are of the
highest artistic class.
The out-of-town business has
extended beyond the immediate
territory, and now orders are
filled regularly for Memphis,
Mobile. New Orleans and Bir-
mingham. The success Of this
company is gratifying to the
people of Tupelo, who literally
patronize it, and who are always
pleased to see push and enter
prise rewarded with success.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-07-05

The Norwegian god of the thunder,
Thor, must have decided that he was
not needed over in Europe any longer
and so moved here, judging by the
growing of thunder that filled the air
all night Sunday and for hours on Mon
day. Nobody paid much attention to
the growing, feeling quite we'll satisfied
to have the cool weather resulting from
storms that have apparently circled the
town. We ought to have about two
sweltering days each week to make us
appreciate the cool waether the rest of
the time.
After an extremely hot day last
Wednesday, at about one o'clock at
night heavy wind came up and con-
tinued for an hour and was ACCOMPANIED
by rainfall of nearly two inches. The
wind was straight blow and no great
damage was done except minor injuries
to trees and to telephone lines which
were put out of order in every direction
about the city except towards CORTLAND
There were trouble calls on several city
phones also. The Friday heat visitation
was followed by only light shower that
did little to cool the air and left the in
habitants still gasping for relief which
was nowhere in sight Saturday morning.
At this writing it would seem that a
regular Minnesota hot spell is upon us
and it is certainly about time.

His Latest Success, 'Eatonic'' Is
Surely Doing Wonders

old saying has it. Some men build
bridges. Others half-sole shoes. Andy
Carnegie made his millions in steel
and finds his fun in giving away
libraries. John DIS favorite indoor
sport is boosting the price of gasoline.
Kramer's fad is making old worn
out stomachs good as new. Listen:
Kramer is the man who originated
"Cascarets.' Now bis latest tri-
umph, "EATONIC," bids fair to
eclipse even bis former notable
achievement. For "EATONIC" is
a marvelously natural corrective
tonic and restorative for stomach
disorders and digestive troubles.
This is Kramer, himself, speaking:
"Stomach trouble is the Great
American Misery. In some form or
another - dyspepsia, indigestion,
heartburn, bloat, fatulence, "sour
stomach" etc.-it has millions in
it's vise-like grip.
"My thought for years has been di-
rected to the discovery of a modern,
scientific method of relieving stomach
misery, and my efforts have been
fruitful. In EATONIC I have found
thesuresolution of Stomach Ailments.
''The pain comes as the result of
gases collecting in thestomach, caused
by too much acid. EATONIC neu-
itralizes the acids almost as soon as

it reaches the stomach-pain leaves
quickly. This stomach relief is un-
like all others in SO far as it stops the
stomach pains and disagreeable feel
ing almost instantly, and does not
require long treatment for results.
"EATON1C should be on every
dining table, just like salt, pepper
and sugar, for use after meals. It
can do no harm in the most delicate
stomach and will do away with stom-
ach disorders-meals can be enjoyed
with the knowledge that an EAT
ONIC Tablet will aid it's easy assim-
ilation and digestion, and neutralize
the stomach acids-elimipating stom-
ach pains. Take EATONIC Tablets
after meals.

discovery, EATONIC, and am glad
to offer it to all who are handicapped
by the Great American Misery. | ask
an immediate trial of EATONIC.
