Washington. Jan. 29.-The decision
against Barchfeld does not materially
alter the Speakership situation in the
House. observers agreed tonight. The
Republicans have not been counting on

have figured clear majority by a deal
with certain of the Progressives and
ether independents, if not with all Of
them.
Since Schall of Minnesota, is def

two of the FIVE remaining independents.
Three of them at least are counted on

THOMAS ALFRED KELLY.

After four weeks of weary suffer
ing death brought sweet relief to the
tired soul o fthis young husband, son
brother and friend The deceased
was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. d. c..
Kelly and was born November IT,
1891, married to Miss Balice Deason
January 5th, 1917, and died August
5th, 1917.
When a husband of only seven
months he became the victim of ty-
phoid fever which proved too much
for earthly hands. All that medical
aid and loving hands could do was
done to prolong his stay on this
earth, but God saw best to call him
home.
"Tom," as he was fondly called by
his relatives and friends, resided
with his parents five miles east of Tu-
pelo, until seven months ago, when
he was married and future full of
happiness and usefulness was pictur-
ed by the happy young couple. 1t
was indeed with aching hearts that
each and every one who knew him
heard of his untimely death.
@! it's sad to think of him being
snatched away while so young but
let us remember that "God doeth all
things WE'LL" and he had a purpose in
taking Tom from this sinful world
1t may be to warn us boys who were
his companions and who are not at
the threshold of war that 'In the
midst of life is death" and that now is
the time for us to prepare for bet
ter world by laying up treasures in
Heaven and not on earth.
May Gods tenderest mercy ever
be with the bereaved ones in the
hour of their great sorrow, "And may
we all so live that we, like Tom, can
face death like one who wraps the
,drapery of his coat about him lies
down to pleasant dreams"

ANOTHER ELEVATOR
UNDER CONSTRUCTION

A company composed of w. T..
Reeves, w. A. Blair, O. T. Trapp, c.:
M. Moore and w. w. Thompson has
been organized for the purpose of
erecting and operating corn eleva-
tor in Tupelo. The location will be
on the Mobile & Ohio railroad right
of way just east of the Light and
Power plant. Work of erecting it
has already begun and will be pushed
to completion. A mill with boiling
facilities will be also installed and it
is planned to grind large quantities
of corn into bolted meal for the
foreign trade. The capacity of the
plant will be 10000 bushels a day.
The large quantity of corn in the
country will be in demand early and
the two elevators here and the one
in Shannon will be rushed to their
capacity to handle it. Our corn
comes in early and during the month
of October and November good prices
can be obtained. The great bulk of
corn should be marketed before
northern corn is put on the market.

THE RED CROSS
MAKES FIRST SHIPMENT

The first shipment made by the Tu-
pelo Chapter of the Red Cross was
made Saturday. The Tupelo Chap
ter met at the Y. M. c. A. work
rooms from where the ladies and
children marched in a body to the
express office in advance of the
trucks upon which was loaded Lee
couuty's first offering to the Red

ment consisted of over l 900 articles,

boxes addressed to the American
Red Cross Supply Service, Bush
Terminal Brooklyn, New York, from
which point ship in waiting will
quic:ly transport the consignment to
our army forces and base hospitals
in course of erection in France.
This was truly an inspiring sight to
the people of Tupelo and Lee county,
to see the part being taken by our
good women and children in this
great work of the volunteer army
without age limit or claims of exemp-
ton. The procession was headed by
the Cotton Mills Operatives band,
which, when called, was in the midst
of match game of base ball with
Nettleton,, but Immediately laid
aside their ball paraphranalia and re-
sponded Immediately, thus showing
their willingness to help in the Red
Cross service. The committee in
charge tenders their thanks to the
boys for the service rendered and full
l. appreciates the spirit that prompt
ed them to quit their game to meet
the call of the committee.
Tie Red Cross work continues at
high speed for other shipments will
be made ready for forwarding at the
earliest possible date. Volunteers for
this work are always Welcomed
there is so much to be done.

home on Spring street Wednesday
night from heart trouble after an i'll
ness of only few days. He was out
Monday and drove his wagon for a
short time but was forced to return
home. Porter has been driving a
delivery wagon around Tupelo for
more than twenty years. He has de-
livered trunks at the hotels for the
drummers SO long that there has
hardly been travelling man here in
many years who did not know him.
He was known to everybody in town
and his death will be universally re-
gretted. He was accommodating and
punctual in his duties and had many
friends in all classes.

COOPERATIVE SELLING
BEST FOR FARMER

The farmer to get the best price
for his produce will be compelled to
sell IN car lots because when shipping
in less than car lots the freight
amounts to so much that most of the
profit is lost. The average farmer
can not sell in car lots nor can he
afford to ship only a few head of
hogs or cattle to the northern mar
kets by himself, but by cooperative
shipping he can get as much for his
cattle or hogs as if he were raising
car load lots.
In order to help the farmers get
the most out of their produce, the
Tupelo Young Mems Business Club is
going to help the farmers do some
cooperative selling and on our next
Market Day, August 13, they will
help the farmers sell a car load of
poultry To make cooperative sell
ing a success the Business Mems Club
will have to have the full co-opera-
tion of the farmers, which we feel
sure we will get as the farmers fully
realize the Importance of this work
The farmer should be careful in
selling off surplus stock of any kind
and not sell his best breeding stock.
All the pullets should be kept for
improving the flock next year, and all
young chickens weighing less than
one and one-half pounds should be
kept because they will furnish good
market for some of the surplus grain
this year. This small poultry will be
to market next winter or spring The
hens that have about gone out Of the
laying business should be sold with
practically all of the old roosters.
The old roosters are only an expense
at this time of the year and they
should not be used on the flock next
year on account Of inbreeding. Sell
the hens, old roosters and young
roosters that weigh as much as one
and one-half pounds.
Remember the date, August 13,
and be in Tupelo on that date
