IN STOLEN MACHINE
Soldiers Make Off With Auto,
Rampage Through City and
Get Wrecked at Bellevue.

II seems almost miracle that three
soldiers and two civilians did not lose
their lives, shortly before O'Clock yester-
day morning, when a stolen automobile
in which they were riding turned turtle
and caught FIRE at Bellevue.
The machine in which tho men were
riding belonged TO L. G. Wicr, of New
Castle, and was stolen from Brandywine
Springs Park, on Saturday night. The
theft had been reported to the police,
who were on the lookout for the machine
when the report of the accident reached
this city. IL is alleged that tho soldiers,
after stealing the machine drove through
this city at an excessive rate Of speed.
At Vandever avenue and Market streets
they came close To colliding with another
machine and when the occupants Of the
latter car made complaint the soldiers
jumped out and assaulted tho men. Later,
the machine came TO gref at bellevue,
but oil five of it's occupants got away.
Mr. Wier's car was complete wreck

JERSEY CATTLE CLUB FORMED

During the past week breeders of
Jersey cattle met at the court house
for the purpose of organizing a Jer-
sew cattle club for Lee county,
Those present were Jersey breeders
of a of experience and felt that
the time had arrived when the great
dairy COW should be brought promi-
nently to the front and the people OF
the county shown her good qualities.
After a discussion of the question
# was decided to effect a permanent
organization which was done by the
election of Mr.. B. T. Clark, president;
+ F. Milan. vice-president and E. ID.
Foster. secretary; and the following
hoard of directors: G. w, Green,
Guntown; J. P. Lawson, Saltillo; A
M. Sims, Tupelo; j. v. McFarllng'
Verona; A. J. Vaughn, Shannon.
The membership was o run to
fftv and others are coming IN to
have their names enrolled. The IN
terest manifested is indicative of a
successful organization and it is evil
dent that the plan of education of the
value of the great breed of cattle Will
soon reach the people and bring them
around to the true worth of the Jer-
sew as the best dairy cow. The dairy
business is taking hold of the people
very rapidly; it has been postponed
too long, but the success Of our
creamery has been very gratifying to
the promoters and patrons and IS des-
tined to play a very important part
in the upbuilding of the county in
the near future. The club is open to
members and if you r a breeder OF
cattle you should become a membr.

DISCIPLES COMPLETE BIG WAR
PROGRAM

Announcement comes from the
State office of the Christian churches
at Vicksburg that the churches of
this State have raised $5,274, which
is more than their quota in the
Emergency Drive" just closing.
This is a campaign by this church
illegally known as the Disciples of of
Christi to raise $2,25O,0OO in the
United States and Canada by July
4th. This money is needed to COM
plete the $6,3O0,0 900 extension fund
and to provide an extra million for
the emergency percipitated by the
war conditions upon all their eleem-
osynary work.
Compelling Facts.
The situation facing the church is
seen when we learn that before the
war an American dollar was worth
$3.50 in Chinese silver; now it is
worth $1.18. Hospital supplies in the
Philippines have advanced more than
1000 per cent on many necessities.
Flour for the missionaries in Africa
is 40 per barrel and the trip over
costs three times what it did. Over
1000 students from colleges of the
Disciples have gone into the army,
causing a direct loss Of 100000 i'll
tuition and other incomes, while sup
plies cost the schools $4,000 more
than last year.
1t is said that Mississippi is n of
the first States of the South to 90

of this city had a creditable part in

WHO HAS A PHONOGRAPH TO
GIVE TO THE SOLDIERS

New Orleans, La, July 8,-Who's
got a. photograph to give to the sol
diers?
Records, too, are needed.
They are to go to Camp Mcclellan,
near Admission, where hundreds of
m~usic-hungry boys will make good
use of them.
That neglected photograph of
yours, which has been silent for
weeks because the family is tired of
hearing it, would cause unlimited joy
if it were t~ransplanted to Camp Nc
Clellan.
IF you can't give up your machine,
maybe you can contribute some rec
ords. Go through your cabinet and
pick out the duplicates and those
that you are so used to that they
have lost their charm for you. The
soldiers will find them fresh and in
~teresting. Old-fashioned melodies,
folk songs, band pieces and popular
arias from operas will be mighty
welcome.
If you live nearer Admission than
you do to New Orleans ship your ma
chine or records straight to Assistant
Field Director II. S. Miller, Camp
Mcclellan, Admission, Ala. Otherwise
send them to Harry 7. Howard, di-
rector of Military Relief, Gulf Divi-
sion Of the Red Cross, 225 Postoffice

YOUNG PEOPLE PATRIOTIC

A unique entertainment was given
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Guthrie,
North Church street, last Tuesday
night.
The wee ladies, Frances Guthrie,
Jessie Lynn Ruff and Zana Wilson,
conceived the idea of doing a "bit''
for their country, and with the help Of
several little friends evolved the pro-
gram.
The nominal sum of five cents en-
trance fee was charged visiting guests.
There was also a candy booth and pop
corn booth, which were ~patronized with
such a rush that the stock-in-trade was
exhausted early in the evening. The
candy being made by participants and
neighboring friends, while the corn
was a donation from Mr.. G. E. Brown.
The house was decorated in patri
otto colors and formed a pleasing set
ting for the smiling faces of the
young performers.
Miss Lena Bell Anderson acted as
aecompanist, while Mrs. Guthrie was
untiring in drilling the children in
their several parts.
The sum Of $500 was realized,
which will be turned over to the Red
Cross.
