LAST GALL TO DELINouENTs

Next week brings us to Nov. LIST.
when we shall be required by the re-
cent ruling of the War Industries
Board to stop sending papers to any
subscriber who does not show as a
pay-in-advance one, provided sub
scribers are to have three months
within which to renew. All who
fall within this on our books, please
assist US to make clean showing so
we can secure our paper supplies
without interference, as this ruling
MUST be lived up to, in fact we are
approaching paper rationing looks
like and if so it will only be the fell
low that pays promptly and cheer
fully who can become subscriber.

ssWs Clubbing Offers With The Herald.

While We think Of it, let US make
mention that despite OF the new pos
tai Zone rate; the recent War Indus
tries Board rulings. we are in pO-
sition to make club rates as follows:
The Herald one year with the Thrice
a Week N. Y. World 1.75 for both,
regular price of each 81 per year;
The Herald and The Issue, Jackson,
Miss, $l,75, regular price 81 each;
The Herald and Progressive Farmer
81. 70, regular price 81 each. Besides
some other interesting propositions.
especially on the farming magazines.
Publishers are not allowed to cut
their subscription rates now even in
clubs to less than IS percent of the
regular prices. so the margins are
going to be close; SO close that you
cant get any club at all on many
periodicals, and those which we are
offering are liable to be Withdrawn,
80 close ip With them while the way
is open il they appeal to YOU.

Nineteen hundred and eight QeOs) -PERK
NETTLES. (coloreD was convicted OF the
crime of murder and sentenced to life impris-
onment in the State Penitentiary.
IL was not shown bv the evidence in this
case that there was any generalization NAL
ice. or afore- thought. IL seems that there was
a craps game in progress and that PERK
NETTLES was participant in same. The de-
ceased. who was stranger in the community,
drifted into the game Being unable TO win
the money fairly. he attempted unfair methods
taking the money away from Perk Nettles
Naturally an objection was raised. and this
caused the negro to attack Perk Nettles
Perk Nettles was himself shot in the difficulty.
We do not believe the verdict should have
been greater than manslaughter.
PERk NETTLES has already served more
than TEN years in the Pententiary. He is In
bad health Has been "trusty' for more
than SIX years. Prior TO This trouble. he was
at all times peaceful. law abiding hard work

The old T. X. Turner building has

the Blodgett line railroad every since
they started. The job that he was
on with them run out for the present
account OF their not having enough

Next week we will publish the
LIST OF BOND BUYERS" in the Fourth
Liberty Loan Drive. for Greene
County. Mr.. Alderman. the chair
man has promised to furnish the list
and tells us that the quota was safe
" raised. and something like $1,000
over to the good, though it was hard
pulling account the influenza out
break and so much bad weather too.
Having the list of buyers in the
Third Drive proved OF great help.
and then some outside subscriptions
also gave splendid start.
The rainfall Wednesday and We'd
nesday night was something real
heavy for this section running over
four and half inches. and as a con-
sequences al of the small streams
jumped up and there was much WASH
ing out of fills ia roads and overflow
ing low bridges and Big Creek got
beyond bounds, making crossing at
any OF the bridges out OF the question
by noon of Thursday. The mail-car-
rler out from Leakesville could not
complete his route at all that day and
it may be few days before travel
will be fully restored on all roads.
The fact that Flu is about has
made Corners to town rather scarce
of late. In fact the health authori-
ties discourage any more movements
among folks until the disease can be
suppressed than is reallv necessary
in the transaction of ordinary busi-
ness. Some having cotton out have
driven opt to have il ginned and a
few scattering shoppers along and
some passers through. Possibly in
few more days the Flu scare will
be oyer anu things become normal
again not only here but all over the
state. It's in the natural run of
thinas that the malady will run it's
course bit and pass as has all such
outbreaks. It's hard to tell just when
we reach that welcome stage how
ever.
