The frien DIS and acquaintances

The friends and acquaintances
throughout the county of Mrs.
Ann Wells will regret to hear
Of her death at Chase La. some
two weeks ago. Mrs. Wells lived
in this county for several years,
she was the mother of Mr.. John
Wells, who moved from this coun
ty about year ago and is sur
vived by other children and
many relatives in this state and
Louisiana, where she had lived
only a few months.
A special meeting of the Coun
ty Teachers Association was held
hore Saturday. The day for
Field Day exercises was fixed for
Friday Feb. 23rd to be held at
Philadelphia. The exercises
will be similar to those held
last year Rules and full pro-
gram will be published next
week. The Philadelphia school
has agreed not to compete in
any events and the exercises
will be for the benefit of the ru-
raj schools exclusively.
We understand there is a law
fixing tina license of labor agents
at $500 for each county. The
people of this county and the
officials are not doing their duty
unless they see that this law is
enforced. 1t is not right for
agents to come here from other
states and disturb the labor stu
alton as they have the past few
weeks. Everybody has a right
to move where he pleases but 1T
is not for one from a distant
place to come into our midst and
by all kinds of promises disturb
the labor of the county. They
need to pay the full limit of the
law.
An effort is being made to
have this county get up credit
able exhibit for the Centennial
Exposition to be held at Gulf
port, commencing on the 10th of
Dec. There is no question
ofthe value Of such an
exhib it placed where it will
be viewed by thousands from all
parts of the Union. All the
counties in the state are going
to be asked to place an exhibit
there. Our county should not
be one without a showing A few
hundred dollars would gather to-
gether good exhibit and we be-
lieve ifa few hundred dollars is
spent in that way by our county
the returus will be good. When
our people attend this exposition
we would hate to see so many
fine county exhibits and none
from Neshoba.

FARMERS ATTENTION

Do not burn the corn stalks
but turn them under at this
season of the year there is a grea:
temptation to burn the corn
stalks ahead. of the plow.
Those who know tell us that
these same corn stalks are pound
for pound as rich in plant food
as barnyard manure.
If you are a one-horse farmer
cooperate with your neighbor
and be two-horse farmer while
you are breaking the land that
was in corn last year.

STRIPE CAR SEATS
SO MORE CAN ride
New Method Of Keeping Passengers
Straight Confuses MANY.

Patrons of one OF the efficient lines
of cars operating on prominent streets
of the District have noticed, with
wonder and amusement. the extraor-
binary feats Of other patrons attempt
ing to keep their anatomy within the
restricted limits of the recently paint
ed lines which divide the seats az
ranged in front and rear parallel with
the windows into four sections.
Before the painting OF the lines 1t
was thought that the seats were in
tended for three persons. 1t was all
that two eligibles for the Fat Mems
Club or their duplicates in the other
sex could do to get themselves seated
in comfortable manner. Now. how
ever, the company comes along with
the idea of painting the seats with
lines for dividing them into four sec
tions. The only patrons who seem to
relish the new arrangement are the
a-year-old barber makers, who swipe
the middle seats before the car
reaches Seventh and the Avenue at
the time when a prominent depart
ment store, famed for the beauty Of
its clerks, is closing for the day
The manner of getting four mem
bers OF the other sex seated comfort
ably in these seats is a never-ending
source Of entertainment for the more
fortunate fellow passengers.

STA may mean the collection of a
$4,000 legacy to Simon Sanders, of
Albany. Twenty years ago Mrs.
Dora Sanders, a wealthy aunt, died
in Kief, Russia, leaving her entire
estate to her nephew. Sanders went
through all OF the necessary legal pro-
ceedure until his attorneys told him It
would be necessary to return to Rus

the age Of 16, evading military service.
To return would have subjected him

a poor man under the Stars and
Stripes rather than risk Siberia. With
changed conditions due to the revolu-
ton, he now plans to return and
lay claim to the estate.

There have been no signs Of Ger

SENATOR LEWIS AIDS
MOVE AGAINST STRIKE
Dissatisfied Switchmen Will Soon
Resume Work, Is Report

II became known yesterday that Sem
ator James Hamilton Lewis had left
Washington suddenly Thursday night
for Chicago, following receipt OF in
formation at the White House that
the threatened strike OF switchmen
was assuming formidable proportions
At the Department Of Labor II was
said the Senator had gone to Chicago
on strike business, but to Just what
extent he had authority TO talk to
the leaders of the railroad men was
not known. Government concilIators
were on the ground prepared to con-
slider all grievances. and II any on
cial report were forthcoming It would
be from them, and not from Senator
Lewis.
The department officials said the sit
uation in Chicago undoubtedly was Sc
rious. inasmuch as it threatened a
tie-up of the stock yards. but that
no apprehension was felt in regard
to the outcome. They preferred to
look upon the trouble as a local dis
turbance entirely, and on which
would scarcely come under the at
tention Of the department as a prob
lem requiring solution by the govern
ment.
Senator Lewis errand, II is believ-
ed, has to do with a conference with
the chiefs of the switchmen. He was
active last winter when the city was
confronted with a strike of the coal
teamsters. though in that instance he
had no Federal credentials, but ap-
peared rather as an envoy by cour-
tesy, seeking to prevent embarrass-
ment when a national crisis was at
hand.
Samuel Gompers. who represents Ia
Dor in the Council of National De-
Tense. and the man who pledged the
word of labor that there would be no
strikes during the war, was not at
his ONCE yesterday afternoon. 1t was
said that he might have gone TO New
York, as he frequently does for the
weekend.
Senator Sherman Of Illinois, said
he had no doubt that the trouble in
Chicago would be settled in twenty
four hours.
