to litsle Viulas home, took advantage
of her youth and innosence. To the
credit of Demolos it might be said
there was nothing boastful in his
manner He unravelled his revolving
story with candor that was nothing
short of astounding, but withal there
was something about his mlen that

WHO DAT LETTIN' DE COL, AIR

Apropos to migration of Southern
negroes to northern cities this story
is going the rounds. In Chicago,
the mortality among negroes trans
ported suddenly from a mild to a
very severe climate was heavy and
since none owned sufficient funds to
buy a coffin for his corps, those de-
parting from this life were deposited
in the city crematory. One big buck
negro from Vicksburg essayed to
pass the night in a park. Next
morning he was found cold stiff and
apparently dead. City employees
whose duty it is to collect all dead
animals and take them to the crema-
tory, loaded the frozen negro on their
wagon and thence dumped him in
the ~incinerator. Late in the evening
they came with another load of ne
groes, dogs, cats, etc. On opening
the door of the crematory, they were
greeted with this indignant protest,

RED CROSS

At the Comus Theatre yesterday
afternoon Mr.. w. H. Fitzhugh, of
Vicksburg, appeared before the men,
bers of the Red Cross auxiliary of
Lee county in the interest of the
work in the county. Mr.. Fitzhugh
was introduced by Mr.. Ledyard and
in opening his remarks stated that
about twenty five years OF so ago he
had met our fellow citizen, Mr. j.. M.
Allen and since that time had always
wanted an invitation to make a visit
to Tupelo. He was delighted when
he received the invitation to come
to Tupelo. He reviewed briefly his
call from Washington to undertake
the work of managing the Red Cross
in Mississippi and stressed the very
great Importance of thorough organ
ization to make it most effective.
The medical department of the ar
my, he stated, is wholly inadequate
to meet the pressing demands of the
battlefield, and only those who are in
such condition from their wounds to
promise recovery r ministered to
by the army medical corps. Those
most severely wounded, or fatally
wounded are left to the Red Cross
for attention and relief. He quoted
from Gen. Wood who says that the
most effective aid to the wounded
can be given by Red Cross attendants
and that this branch of the army
should be well equipped and thor
oughly organized. In Red Cross ser
vice Germany leads in efficiency, ia
pan second and this country last.
He appealed to those present to go
out and renew their efforts and en-
ergies in the great work which they
are called on to do; that, while they
cannot enlist and go to the front,
everybody can do something to re-
lieve the possible suffering of our
young men who are soon to go to the
battle fields of Europe to fight for
us.
The local auxiliary is doing splen-
didly under the direction of Mrs. G..
M. Crook in getting garments made
to be sent to the boys in the trenches.
Quite a number have volunteered
their services and the work room of
the auxiliary is one of the busiest
places to be found in the city. 1t is
a great work for a great aus and
the hearts Of the good women of the
county are thoroughly enlisted in it.
