Boys Coming Home

Po p larville turned out
en- masse last Saturday night to
meet the special tram from
Newsport News, Va, bearing
the Pearl River County boys,
members of the Hath Ammunl-
ton train, 39th Division, enroute
to Camp Beauregard, La, from
which place they will be demo
bilized and sent to their homes.
1t was dark when the train
arrived, and as 1t tarrled only a
few minutes it was rather UNI
satisfactory for the relatives and
friends. some Of whom failed tc
see their boys at all.
However, much comfort may
be derived from the fact that
the train reached it's destination
safely the next day, and the for
malities necessary to demobill-
cation are being rapidly carried
forward this week so that in d
few days they will all be at
home.

"Where Thieves Break Through
and Steal"

We have always understood
that Poplarville was peculiarly
free from thieves and thieyery,
but omebody smashed the rec
-Ord last Thursday night as a
couple of our merchants can tes-
tify to their financial sorrow.
Sometime during that night
the warehouse belonging to Joe
Mamie was broken into and be-
tween $500 and $500 worth of
hides were stolen and carried
off with a considerable lot OF
heavy merchandise, the amount
of which has not been estimated.
No trace of either the thieves
or stolen goods has been discov-
cred. Whether the broken down
and dlsreputable show which
was in town had any connection
with the robberies is not known.
Suffice it to say that mere hants
in ElllsviIle, where the SHOW had
recently been, 'phoned down
here inquiring about certain
kinds of merchandise of which
their esta blishments had been
relieved by some of the light
folk.

yesterday that he would leave for
France about the 6th of April but

would require extended time the fact
that Mr. Baker is to come back early
is taken as an indication that the eN-
ira session of Congress early in May
has been decided on by the President.
The extra session would demand the
presence here of all the cabinet off,
GERS and especially Of the army and
navy. whose appropriation bills failed
of passage. Under the circumstances
Il would not be surprising IL the Pres
ident and his two war secretaries
might come back on the same vessel.
