A Preparedness Idea.

"Do | believe in Preparedness 4?
n believe in it so strongly that I
am willing to take some very ac-
tive steps to assist the young
men of Lexington to prepare
themselves for their country's
service should the need arise"
The speaker was Colonel Sellers
of the Wentworth Military Ac-
ademy and he went on to say:
Why cannot the young men of
the community take advantage
of the following offer on the part
of the school. If a sufficient
number of them will apply, we
give the use of arms and they
can have the benefit of the most
capable instruction by Major
Palmer detailed officer from the
War Department. This would
give them expert instruction
seldom to be gotten in a Militia
Company. The young men
would be compelled to give up a
few hours of their time and to
purchase KHAKI uniforms at a
cost of a few dollars and in re-
turn would receive invaluable
experience and training. l
would like to see a large number
take advantage of this offer, be-
cause am firmly convinced
that every young man should
put himself in shape to be of use
to his country"

ingtaa territory mort all of the
time, whenever the ball went to
that end of the court it re-
mained only a few minutes as
the Lexingtoc guards we're al
ways on their feet.

the contest. She tossed 10 field

over to another Street Fair Co.
The mess will be here the lat

signed the petition to the council
asking that the Redmen be per-

If a majority of the merchants
want a street fair, their wants

MARSHAL CREATES EXCITEMENT
IN RUNNING DOWN CHARGE

Marshal r. L. Davis stirred up
quite deal of excitement for a
short space of time yesterday
morning while capturing Sam
White who had been arrested on
account of the belief that he was
not drinking the whiskey he was
receiving, but was "slashing
booze" 2
Soon after his arrest White saw
a good chance to make break for
liberty and took it, but he had
failed to reckon on the marshal's S
staying qualities. Pell nell out
West Cherokee street he went,
with the marshal in Oscar Smith S
car shortly following at about a
nothing to nothing" gait. When
just about to overtake White the
fence across the street was reach
ed, White tearing off several pick
cts and taking to the lowlands, !"
notwithstanding a shot in his di-
rection from the officers revolver.
Pursuit by auto being ended at the
fence the marshal overlook his
charge a block further on, not be-
ing nearly as winded as the man
who had footed it all the way.

THE FIRST NATIONAL
BANKS BOYS PIG CLUB

The First National Bank of
Brookhaven, Mississippi, proposes
to lend 35 boys in Lincoln County
u in each beat-who come well
recommended, the sum of ten
$4,000 dollars at 6 per cent in
terest with which to buy regis
tered pig, the boy agreeing to pay
the money back on or before
twelve months from date of note,
or if necessary will give the boy
longer to pay the note.
The boy is to raise one half acre
of feed stuff and to apply said feed
or so much as may be necessary to
said pig and its increase, and to
report progress of the pig to the
Pig Club Agent and to the bank.
The bank will also require the
parents or guardian of the boy to
waive all right and interest in the
pig and its increase and to agree
to let the boy have the half acre of
land for the purpose above set out:
One out of every 7 of the boys
will get boar pig the others a
SOW pig.
1t is suggested to the boys that
they get grade pig and raise it
along with the registered pig,
since it will not cost much more
to raise it, and at the time of ma
turity of note they can sell the
grade pig and pay up and keep
the registered pig and all its in
crease.
1t is further suggested, that the
boys save all the funds from the
sale of pigs until such time as they
have sufficient funds to buy reg.
istered heifer. Of course this is
up to the boys if they wish to do
this. For further details call at
First National Bank.

SPIRIT OF THE MISSOURI PRESS.

The prophecy of the outcome OF
the political campaign of 1916 in
Missouri was in the air as the
Democratic editors of the State
filled the lobby of the Planters
Hotel last week and gathered in
little groups for discussion of IS
sues and men, says the St. Louis
Republic. The note most fre-
quently struck was the sense of
party obligation
The relation of editors as a class
to politics is unique. They do
more political work than any other
set of men and reap fewer political
honors and rewards. The present
House Of Representatives contains
I240 lawyers and six editors. II
has in its membership 10 farmers,
lis bankers, IL manufacturers, 10
real estate men land six editors.
The editor is in political life but
not of ii, in the professional sense.
His judgement is that of a man
who sees the very inside of the
game. with his mind clear of the
timidities and prepossessions oi
the ambitious Individual who seeks
place OF honor.
