6. ". MITCHELL KILLED
At WATER VALLEY,
Hold Geo. A. Goodwin in Connection
With Killing.
No Eye-Witnes.es Who Saw Affair
Have Been Found-Men Were
Heard Quarrefins--Both Men Had
Families.

Water Valley. Miss, Dec. "a
deplorable tragedy was enacted here
last night about IL O'clock, in which
Castor ". Mitchell. yard foreman in
the employ Of the Illinons Central
Railroad, instantly lost his life. Geo
A. Goodwin has been arrested in con.
nection with the killing.
No eye-witnesses have been found
who saw the affair, though the men
were heard quarreling.
Mitchell was in charge of the night
yard crew in the local railroad yards,
and Goodwin was one of the night
sNritchmen. The trouble is supposed
TO have come up over something con-
cerning the duties of the two men.
Goodwin was arrested at his home
by Marshal Doyle about II: 80. and
gave up .3S single action Smith &
Wesson pistol.
The deadly bullet struck Mitchell
on the left cheek and is thought to
have either penetrated his brain or
spinal column, as he never made a
movement afterward.
The deceased was about 20 wears
of age and leaves wife and two
small children. The remains will be
taken to Grenada tomorrow morning
for interment.
Mr. Mitchell ,vac hn,n u,,J ,.o,,ol
in Grenada being son of Mr.. j. w.
Mitchell Of this place and>besides his
wife he leaves father and three
sisters and one brother to mourn his
death. His remains were brought to
Grenada at noon Wednesday and the
funeral services We're held from the
home of his father at 3 O'Clock, Rev.

Mr.. J. W. Willis. District Federal
Farm Agent for North Mississippi.
would like to have made public the
Following letters he has addressed
to his County Agents in North Mis-
sissippi, with reference to encourae-
ing hog raising during 1918. The let
ter follows:
I'VE want TO make q big drive fot
more hogs in North Mississippi for
1918. Mr. Hoover in q circular just
gotten out shows thar there are s.
000.000 less than the normal mum
bor Of hogs in the L. s. and is asking
for an increase Of at least Is pel
cent for rext year.
"To get this increase there are
three essential points for US to stress ::
First. more hog fencing, thereby
mere pastures. and in order that the
farmers my utilize the logumes to
) the best advantage: second, more
corn. a. supplement to the pas
lures; and third, more brood sows.
and better care Of same.
With reference TO the corn, we
have an abundance Of this if we can
keep our farmers from selling down
too close; as 20 brood sows, we have
plenty of them if we will not ship
them, take better care Of them and
get them properly distributed. Hog
fencing is the biggest problem just
now and We are going to ask the
bankers and business men to help the
farmers out along this line.
"Our bankers in Grenada County
have agreed to lend money to re
liable farmer 20 buy hog fencing
and breeding stock one year without
interest. Mr. ]. T. Thomas. Presi-
dent of the Grenada Bank, makes the
same proposition in the counties OF
North Mississippi wi'ere his bank
ARE located,
Please see your hankers at oncg
and see if the same ai1-anpement
can not he made. =. this is a very
far sighted and liberal offer. for there
is not county IN our territory but
what in 4 few ycal. could easily
| ship 100 cars Of hoy, and at pres
ent prices this would mean $500, ,o0o
to the county.
| with our good com crop on hant
this is a safe offer for the banks and
an opportunity for the farmer to ge,
the much needed hog fencing. 1t is
cheaper to buy fencing at the pres
ent prices 10 fence - cent hogs
than it is YVES 10 fence > cent hog.
with the prices prevailing for fence
at that time.
Let US encourage the growing Of
hogs on every f.Im and more hogs on
the farms thai are roU growing them
thereby rendering a patriotic ser
vice. and with the assurance Of pro
IL to ourselves and community.
Yours very truly
J. W. WILLIS,
Dist. Agent.

Common garden sage brewed into

turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
few applications will prove a reveIa-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients.
While wispy. gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain orr

ers along the route:
Dear Sir:
With a view to cooperating with
the several counties in the improve
ment of the road from Pensacola to
Jacksonville, generally known as the
Old Spanish Trail, the five members
of the State Road Department would
respectfully ask you to meet them at
Owing to the very limited re-
sources of the department, the i'm
provement of this very important
highway must be borne to a large
extent by the several counties, but
as this department desires to CO.
operate with you in this work to the
full extent of its ability, the above
meeting is earnestly requested.
The foreign travel is deeply inter
ested in entering the state over this
road, and in order to avoid complaint
and adverse criticism of North Flor
ida, as well as to serve your own citi-
zens locally, it is essential that GER
tain portions of same be put into
good condition without delay.
Yours very truly,
J. D. SMITH.
