Death of Victor Jones.

The friends in Noxubee Of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. W. Jones of Monroe, New
York, will sympathize with them In
the Ideath Of their son, Victor. who
died last Thursday at Plattsburg, N.
Y. The deceased was 25 years of age,
and his future.was most. promising, as
nature had equipped him both mentally
and physically in an unusual degree.
He was of fine physique and gave
great promise of successful business
career. He mad been in the brokerage
buaincss with his father. but several
months ago answered the call of his
country and went into training at the
citizen-soldiers camp at Plattsburg.
His company, while on d Hike" was
caught in cold, drenching RAIN, and
he contracted pneumonia. When his
parents were called to his bedside he
had been unconsC ious for 48 hours and
died in short time.
The death of this son comes as
double affecting, as his was the third
death in the family in the last six or
eight months. Garland, a seventeen
year old son, died last fall. and Mr..
Jones brother, of the same name,
died a short time before.

The Weather.

In some respects rain was never
needed more than at present, and
though it has threatened downpour
almost every day this week, hardly a
drop has fallen in Macon and we are
almost in the condition of the famish'
ing sailors, who had "water, water
everywhere, and not drop to drink
IN Wednesday night, especially there
was quite a thunder storm and good
showers fell as close as the Ladd place
east of town and three or four miles
west. The old corn has begun to suf-
fer some, but the pasture grasses have
been the worst to snffer, as very little
rain has fallen since the frost early in
April. There has been too much rain
in the counties north of Noxubee and a
fifteen or twenty foot rise is reported
in the Bigbee.

Good Express Business.

The failure of the crops in this coun-
try for the past two years, the conse-
quent depression in business, yet the
continued growth of the express busl-
ness in Macon is almost unbelievable,in in
fact it is a paradox, contradiction.
1t can only be accounted for in great
change that is coming over this sec
ton in its transition from an all
cotton to cattle and dairy and kindred
industries. The butter shipment from
the creamery is one of the causes fer
the incresae, as often as much as 1900
pounds of butter is shipped in one day
to as far away as Philadelphia. The
amount of blooded live stock being
both imported and exported, is another
reason. One day this week, for IN
stance, nine cows were shipped away
from Macon, and several in one day is
not an unusual occurrence The greatest
increase has come the last three
months. In March the increase over
the same month last year was $363.3l; !;
April 1913. SO and May more than doub-
led both months, being 1904 81 more
than the same month last year. This
increase is remarkable. in view of the
fact that there has been falling off
in the liquor packages received. There
is little doubt, though, thst the entire
stoppage of the liquor business will
affect the business of the office after
the Goth of this month.
Another evidence of the growth
Of the express business is that
heretofore one wagon was able
to carry the loads to and from the
trains and for the last ninety days
they have had to employe an extra
wagon team and some times two.
Splendid team work by force no
larger than it was before the increase
in business. is keeping the office rum
ming as smoothly as ever its patrons
pleased. Mr.. J. F. Broome, who came
to Macon from Columbus about two
months ago is in charge of the office,
assisted by Ed. Bass, who had excel
lert training under ex-agent Horton
for number of years.
And Spence Fowler, the permanent
fixture, went toMeridian lately and talk
ed Supt. Crumbaugh into raise OF
$40 month.
We cay talked bul the facts are
that he did not expect more than So
raise. but he made his plea forcibly,
telling of his one wife and nine chill
dren, the high cost of living, etc, and
then refusing to state what he thought
the rBise should be, but putting il up
to the superintendent, who rllsed him
4 S5 more thau he expected. Every one
knows Speuce is postmaster in the ART
of pan-handlng and his success ir
securing the raise is no. Unexpected
