Scales says the first Mississippi regi-
ment is short nearly 300 men of its
full quarto and it will be very crafty
ing to him as well as to others from
this county. who have already enlisted.
if Noxubee will come up with her full
number. The regiment will probably
be ssent to some eastern point to re-
ceive the proper training this9tfmmer
and all who intend to enlist should do
50 at once. There were no "slackers"
in the county in time of war among
ourselves in which our fathers fought,
more than 50 years ago, and there
should be no slackers now. that
our country's rights have been
invaded. The vernment will not
form another unit in the state until

FROM THE PEOPLE
Why Not Let to Lonvicts Make Cror
of Corn?
Editor of the Beacon:

Editor of the Beacon:
have talked to several parties from
differenct sections of the county as to
the advisability of getting some fifty
or sixty acres of good corn land. of
which l understand much will be lying
idle, and have the county convicts make
a corn crop. For two reasons, first, l
believe it will be economy; second, l
think it ought to be done to contribute
that much towards providing foodstuffs
for another year.
| hope every patriotic citizen will try
to get the board of Supervisors to
undertake this. The crop can be
planted and cultivated in little more
than sixty days. Very truly,
T. W. BRAME.

Save the Corn for Human Food.

"There are in the II cotton states
6, 800, 900 horses and mules.
"lf each Of these were fed two pounds
Of cottonseed meal per day, as part of
the daily ration, it would release four
pounds of corn each day, and 200 days
of such feeding to all horses and mules
would release 100, 100000 bushels of
corn for human food and the mules
would be benefited by the change.
-Four pounds of corn at 81 Sc per
bushel costs II cents.
1.-TWO pounds of cottonseed meal at
$40 per ton costs cents
"The feeder would thus save z cents
per day on each head of stock, or a
saving of $l4 per mule in a period of
200 days.
"We suggest that such feeding now
and the planting of soy or velvet beans
or peas in all corn as an economic and
patriotic duty.

Outbreak of Smallpox.

Considerable excitement was occa.
stoned in town this week by an out.
break of smallpox among the coloreC
population. The malady is mild type
and only one, an infant child of a
preacher named Dewitt Johnson, has
been seriously i'll. The disease was
brough; here from Birmingham, so it
is claimed, by kinspeople of Patience
Massengale, a teacher in the colored
school. Patience contracted it and in
stead of reporting it and remaining at
home, she attended school and the dis
ease spread from her room. There is
now 80 or 40 cases in town, but DR..
Bush, chief health officer has vacci-
mated more than 200 this week and it is
believed the trouble will be checked IN
a week or ten days.
