BRITISH WHlPPET TANK
VISITS PAscA0oULA
Hundreds View Uninque Exhibit AZ II
Parades Principal Streets
Under Own Power

The much advertised and several
times delayed British War Tank ar.
rived in Pascagoula Tuesday about
noon and remained until o'clock.
While it was on flat car at the L. &
N. freight depot it was visited by
hundreds of school children and others,
much to the delight of the kids, both
boys and girls. who were all over It,
both inside and out, so that spectators
on the ground could not tell what the
machine looked like. School was dis.
missed at 1880 o'clock to give the child
ren an opportunity OF seeing this
messenger from the War Department,
and they had a glorious time. Later
the tank was taken from the car and
under its own power traversed the
principal streets of the city, covered
with as many boys as could stick on
to it, and followed by q crowd of shout.
ing and laughing children. The ma
chine moved as easily as q farm trac-
tor. indeed, it had the appearance OF
one, with the exception of its heavy
armor and guns.
This is one of some seventy-five of
the tanks that are being sent over the
country by the Victory Loan National
Committee as an object lesson Of the
great. war. The one that was here
suffered a breakdown at Mobile and
had to be repaired at machine shop
there. hence its delay in getting here
where it was advertised to be on the
18th.

FOR SHERIFF..

In its proper column will be found
the announcement of Mr.. H. d. Cuda
bac- as candidate for sheriff, sub
ject to the action of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Cudabac is native of this
county, born in Moss Point but for
many years resident of Ocean Springs
where he has long been prominent in
business and political affairs. At the
outbreak of the war he volunteered for
service and attended the first Officers
Training Camp at Leon Springs, Texas,
where he worked hard for commission
but was honorably discharged before
completing the training on account of
physical defect. He took a great
and patriotic interest in all war work,
Red Cross, Liberty loans, etc., and was
prominent Four Minute speaker.
Four years ago he was candidate for
sheriff and lacked but few votes of
being in the second primry, less than
twenty votes separating the three
highest candidates. By tacit consent
it seems conceded that he Is entitled
to election this time and so far as we
can learn he will not be opposed. Mr..
Cudabac possesses the moral and busi-
ness qualifications necessary to make
a first-class sheriff and it goes without
saving that the office will not suffer
under his administration.

ed as follows: General fund $249S.74,

CATTLE RAISING IN
JACKSON COUNTY.

Jackson county is coming to the front
In the raising Of pure bred cattle and
hogs. Vestry has organized the first
bull association in the county, and the
Pascagcula National Bank his put its
stamp of approval on the venture by
lending the money to buy the bull.
Six pure bred bulls have been brought
into the county within the past six
months, and more will follow. With
the extensive acres of open range and
the long growing season, cattle can be
raised very cheaply in this county.
Only two things are necessary to make
cattle growing success: First, i'm
prove the herds. Second, ship the
cattle in car load lots SO as to get the
wholesale price.

II a. m. and p. m. At the II o'clock

beautiful music. The chancel wastasti-

4 majority of the communicates OF the
parish participated.

E. W. IRELAND ron
STATE SENATOR.

We announce this week the name OF
Hon. h. w. Breland, of Leaksville, as
candidate for election to the office OF
State Senator for the 41st Senatorial
District, which is composed Of the
counties Of Greene, George and Jack
son, and take pleasure in presenting
his claims to our readers
Mr. Breand is a leading attorney of
his section, in the prime of life and
full of the enthusiasm necessary to
make good Legislator. He was born
and reared in Leaksville,, having lived
there all his life, this OF itself being re-
commentator for any man. that he
has made good and has the respect and
esteem of the people swhere he was
born and reared. Mr. Breland has an
interesting family of seven children,
the eldest of whom is serving his coun-
try in Uncle Sans army, his eldest
daughter also holding government
position in Washington, SO in this re-
respect he is doing all for his country
that could be expected of any man.
Mr.. Breland at one time was super
intendent of education of his county,
and from 1904 to 1908 was sheriff and
tax collector. In 1910 he began the
practice of law, in which he has been
eminently successful. From 1908 to
1912 he served his county in the state
legislature, so that it is readily seen
that his experience has been such as
to -eminently fit him to represent
the district in the state law making
body. Besides this experience, Mr..
Breland is man of learning, a convinc.
ing speaker, and is sound on those
policies that should be best for US. He
promises, If elected, to truly represent
the interests of his constituents, and
we assure our readers that they may
reply on his promise.
Heretofore it has oeen agreed that
the office of Senator shall rotate every
four years, each county having in sue
cession the honor of naming the sena-
or. Jackson county had it the last term
and now it comes the turn of Greene
and 1t is not supposed that Mr..
Breland will have any opposition How
ever should he have, he promises to
make it very interesting for his op-
ponent.

FOR ASSESSOR.

The announcement of Mr. w. w.
Vaughn, as candidate for reelection
to the Office of assessor appears in this
issue. Mr.. Vaughn has been assessor
less than two months, having been
elected to succeed the late w. w.
Woodman. During his occupancy of
the office he has shown splendid
grasp of it's duties and responsibilities
and is going about the making of this
years assessments in a careful andbafs-
iness-like maner, which promises well
for the county. Mr.. Vaughn is young
man, honest, energetic and efficient.
just the qualifications necessary for a
first-class assessor.
Inasmuch as he has just been elected
to fill an unexpired term of one year
there seems no disposition to contest
with him new four-year term and he
will doubtless be reelected without
opposition.

A horse attached to a wagon stand
ing in front of the Pascagoula Hotel
took fright Monday and ran away,
crossing the railroad track and street
to Kebs avenue. where it took to the
sidewalk, running up same to Dag
getts store, where it crashed into the
large plate glass window, completely
demolishing it. No one hurt, but ped
estrains hurriedly got out of the way
to avoid being run over. This is an
incident showing the danger of leaving
horses standing unhitched on the
streets, a practice that should be pro-
hibited by city ordinance enforced

In this issue appears the announce
ment of Judge Chas. e. Chidsey as
candidate for reelection to the office

Judge Chidsey needs no introduction

satisfaction to the public. He is

thing indeed that he is reversed by
the higher courts. The Judge is per-
