Early Sowing In Hotbsd.

Seed can be sown in the hotbed before
The snow is Off the ground. and the
plants will have from four to six
weeks start when warm weather comes
In the spring. BY this means the vege-
table grower has that much start on
the crop grown from seed In the open
soil. This means early marketing.
which every grower is seeking because
of the increase in returns.

IMPROPER CREDITS.
Jayne Says Jackson Got Some
That Should Have Gone
To Other Places.

Editor Clarion-Ledger:
While in Brandon a few days
since | was told by some of the
citizens that there was scarcely
any doubt that jackson and For
rest county were credited with
certain enlistments that properly
belong to Rankin County. It ap-
pears that the enlistments were
made by young men who were
really citizens Of Rankin county,
but temporarily working away
from home. While there was no
disposition to blame any one, it
was thought that Rankin county
should have the proper credit for
these enlistments. / agreed with
them and promised to call atten-
ton to the error in the matter,
and am adopting this letter to
you in the hope that
the proper authorities will
investigate the facts and do
whatever is right in the premis-
es. The following young men
were named as among those
that were improperly credited
Jeff Dixon, Lee Dixon, ]. L,
Dixon, Carl Corley. Cecil Corley,
John Buchahan, Horace Hudson
and Eddie Burnham to Jackson,
while William and James Buch-
anan were credited to Forrest
county. .
beg leave to especially call
the attention of the Adjutant
Genaral to the matter with the
hope that he will take the pro-
per steps to clear the matter up.
Yours very truly,
r. K. JAYNE.

| Miss Lucille Martin was one OF
our most attractive and lovable
young girls, always having a
sweet smile and kind word for
everyone. Her sweet, sunny dis

love and esteem of all who knew
her. She was one of the bright

of the 1916 class of the Brandon
Graded School, and expected to
leave next month for Columbus
to enter upon her second year at
the Industrial Institute and Col
lege.
Mr.. Latham, the other victim
of the very sad accident, was the
best young man we ever knew.
He was a favorite in the Fannin
community, always discharging
every duty Of an honorable and
obedient son, and a true chris
tian young man.
The untimely and unexpected
death of these two most estima-
BILE young people is the saddest
our community has ever been
called upon to bear, and to the
heartbroken parents the sincere
sympathies of the entire COM
munity are extended.

he is cannoneer he can ride without
the trouble of caring for horses. The
science involved also appeals to an in
telHgent man. He must know about
explosives, fuses, range, trajectory, We
locity, and so on, and, what is more,
knowledge here is fighting power.
Nerve is an essential element in the
makeup of good cannoneer. His gun
or his battery may be a target for
half dozen enemy guns or batteries.
1t may be the last defense of vital
point, and the enemy, aware of this
fact, let's loose every bolt at command
In order to crush it.
The charging enemy may flank the
zone swept by shells and invade the
battery, bayonet in hand, even saber
and pistol. The artillerist is not arm
ed for rough and tumble combat, but
he has sponge staff, handbar, saber
and maybe shells loaded to be hurled
as hand grenades 1t is a melee,
fight to the finish, and if successful,
the assailants driven off, the cannon
eers, the shell carriers, the drivers who
rallied to save the guns, must resume
action, find the new range, sight the
pieces and fire "as cool as if ON pa
rade" or score no hits. For cannoneers
mechanical training, especially in met
ais, is good preparedness.

LORNA Doone" Went eeuuino.

1t will surprise many to whom
Lorna Doone" is classic to learn
that Blackmore's great novel became
popular in this country before it was
known in England, where it went beg
ging. This fact is disclosed in some
"reminiscences of the Harper house.
1t related that 1t was not until after
1874, when Harper & Bros. published
it in New York, that Lorna Doone"
appeared in the land of her birth.
Marston, the English publisher of the
novel, said that 1t hung fire for some
time with them, until the engagement
of the Marquis of Lorne to Princess
Louise was announced, and then 1t be-
gan to sell. In some unaccountable
way, Marston said, the English public
apparently associated the title with
the name of the marquis and so be-
gan to read the book. Blackmore was
better known among his neighbors ut
Teddington on the Thames as a fruit
man than as a novelist. The fact that
he was q successful market gardener
explains the wonderful knowledge he
displayed in Exit and Kitty" of the
plaques and profits of fruit raising
business. The pictures of Corney
richardson's gardening experiences
were evidently drawn from life.

and therefore doubtless has a great
