FISH THAT IS UNREASONABLE
Much Respect, If Only Gen. sumner Could See 1t.

It seems as if there are fashions in fish just as there are in wearing ap- parel. A fish that brings in German markets nearly four times as much per pound as our fresh mackerel, and considerably more than haddock, is thrown away by our fishermen be- cause no one wants to eat 1t. And 1t IS mighty good fish, too, says the Popular Science Monthly. Those who eat it praise it for its delicate flavor. Even the English like it. Ev- cry year they consume 5000 tons of 1t. Yet we will have none of it
 This fish is known as the goose fish, anglerfsh, devilfsh and monk fish. True, it's appearance is against it, but still the epicures in England and Germany demand it because it IS delicious. Analyses made by the bureau of fisheries on samples show that goosefsh contains considerably more protein than founder, slightly more than cod, little less than sirloin steak. The goosefsh has an average length of three feet and is bread and flat, somewhat resembling the founder in general outline. The only way to get it, says Philadel- phia woman, is for the housewives to club together and demand it. At the present time fishermen do not take the trouble to bring it home, but dis card 1t from their nets.

LANGTON POSTMASTER
 AND MERCHANT IS DEAD
Mir. l. P. Phillips, One of Jackson Countys Best and Most Highly Respected Citizens
 Succumbed This, Friday, Morning

The sad news of the death of MT. Isaiah P. Phillips of Lang ton was received here this, Friday, morning. The end came about 500 o'clock a. m. today, May 4, 1917, all of his inn mediate relatives being at his bedside when the last breath left and his soul took it's flight to heaven.
 MT. Phillips was one of the pioneers of this country, coming here about Is years ago from Alabama, his native state, and .was a strong spoke in the wheel of progress in his neighborhood. He was always on the side of right and did much to raise the moral standard of his commit nity.
 Through honest toll the deceas< ed managed to acquire for him. self and family a good tract of land which he e-cleared and culti- vated. He secured a postoffice for his section which was named Langton after Mir. H. A. Lang ton who promoted the McCrory & Beedeville Southern railroad, which was built from this city to his farm, but which has since been discontinued. MT. Phillips also operated a store at Langton which enjoys a good patronage.
 He was married to Miss Fan nie Williams, who survives him, in Alabama about 45 years ago. To this union was born Emmett, Larence, Rollen, Mrs. John Marr and Gilbert, all of whom survive him. In 1904 he joined the Woodmen of the World and was a member of Gum Wood Camp No. 108.
 
 The remains will be laid to rest in the Gourd Neck Gene tery tomorrow, Saturday, at ten o'clock. The Home News joins the many friends of the bereaved in extending heartfelt sympa- thies.
