MUNICIPAL WOODWARD
FOR TUPELO
During Scarcity of Coal the City Will
Furnish Wood at Cost

- At the regular monthly meeting OF
the Mayor and Board Of Aldermen
they took up the recommendation OF
State Fuel Administration Townes
that the towns and cities Of the state
establish municipal woodward IN
each place for the purpose of supple
menting the supply of fuel as the coal
supply is growing more and more Inn
tied.
After due consideration of Mr..
Townes' recommendation the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen decided that
the recommendation should receive
endorsement at their hands and ap-
pointed committee composed of the
County Fuel Commissioners, D. W..
Robins, J. H.sLedyard and G. K.
Strain, to put in operation the wood
yard at the earliest practical moment.
This committe bought the necessary
wood on the stump from c. b. Kirk
patrick on the Saltillo pike and put
the street hands to cutting and haul
ing it. The yard will be at Watson's
coal yard, with Mr.. Watson in charge
of it. A motor was furnished by Mr..
Robins from his farm and saw and
splitter was furnished by Joel Bean.
Mr.. Watson furnished his coal truck
to haul the hands to and from their
work.
The city does ont attempt in this
new enterprise to make any money,
but only to place at the call of the
people of the city wood to take the
place of coal which will soon be en-
tirely out if present prospects hold
good. Everybody is advised to mix
wood with coal and thus keep fire,
and at the same time save their sup
ply of coal. The city authorities will
furnish the wood at cost and if you
are in need of it youNmay place your
order with them by calling up Wat
sons coal yard.

BAPTIST CHURCH AT VERONA

to the ground without any possible
chance to save it. DIR. w. T. Lowery,
of Blue Mountain, preached at the
usual morning hour and the services
Of ordaining deasons of the church
were observed. About one hour af-
ter the services had adjourned the

fective flue and was soon in flames.
There being no water works IN We
roma the building was at the mercy
of the flames and within short time
it was in ashes. The insurance had
expired several weeks before the
building burned.
The church was comparatively
new, being less than ten years old.
It stood on the site of the old church
which was built there back in the six
ties and was the first church built in
Verona. The late William Russell,
father Of Ed. and Jud Russell, was
once pastor Of the church at Verona
and preached in the church that was
torn away when the new ediice was
built. The late John R. Ratliff was
one Of the organizers of the church
there and record of the proceedings
of all the meetings for the past fifty
odd years is now in the hands Of the
clerk Of the church, s. r. Lowery.

FIRE SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

The old home of the late Phil Shaw,
colored, on Spring street just south
of Park Lake, caught on fire from a
defective flue Sunday afternoon and
was soon burned to the ground.
Some of the household goods were
saved, but the flames spread so rap
idly that there was no chance to save
the building. The home Of Lucy
Robins just south of the Shaw build
ing caught but was saved by the time:
ly arrival of the fire department.

WASTE OF WATER ENDAEGERS
THE TOWN.

During the severe cold weather
that has prevailed for the past two
weeks so many of the people of the
city have been turning on their fauc-
cts to keep them from freezing and
bursting the pipes that the reserve
tank has been drained of nearly all
the water in it. Should we have a
fire to start there would be no chance
for the fire department to save the
building or buildings, as the case may
be. on account of the lack of water
with which to fight the flames. When
you turn on your faucets and let
them run, did you ever stop to think
what danger there is to the lives and
property of the people of the town?
YOU may save little plumbers bill,
or maybe big one, but you are vlo-
lating an ordinance of the town and
endangering the lives of your neigh
bors in doing SO. Who ever is guilty
of this practice should stop and think
over the matter seriously. 1t is a Sc
rious matter and you should stop it.
The weather is cold and it would be
a difficult task for the fireman to ham
die a fire with plenty of water, and
without it they could not do it and
YOU would be to blame in such a
case. After sober, second thought
we believe that you will not be guilty
of this .indiscretion again. Let us
see.

Dr. Sproles, who died few years
ago at ficksburg. Rev. j. A. Rogers,
of Amory, served as pastor of the
church for more than twenty years,
resigning about year ago. Rev. j.
r. Russell, the present pastor, ac-
cepted a call to the pastorate year
ago.
The church will no doubt be rebuilt
as soon as favorable weather affords
the congregation an opportunity to
build. Like all congregations these
days, we expect to see the Baptist
congregation reach out after bigger
and better things and build a model
p-to-date church, with Sunday school
rooms, and all other necessary con-
veniences to afford the congregation
to do the widest and most effective
work. The people of Verona are able
to have this kind of church and the
community spirit will enter into the
new project, and the other denomi-
nations will lend helping hand to
their christian brethren in the hour
of their loss.
Rev. Russell, the pastor, was in Tu-
pelo Monday and in conversation
with him, he informed US that both
the Presbyterian and Methodist con-
gregations had tendesed their church
on Sabbaths when no services were
held by themselves, SO there will be
no intermission Of preaching to the
congregation.

has peen enlisted will be placed upon
waiting list. They will be taken in
order and admitted to the service on
the principle, "first come, first serv-

orders from the Recruiting Officer at

as has formerly been the rule.
Preference will be given machin-l

at all times, and they, even undre

successfully pass the physical exam
ination he will be admitted as soon
as practicable.
Electricians, carpenters and me-

laid upon this branch. Applicants will
be enrolled as Landsmen for electri-
