PITY THE TYPEMRITERs.

Dispatch office has been clicking

Every line of copy that goes into

writers and reams and reams of copy
have been coming in steady stream
from the four machines in this office.
These machines have turned out
in the neighborhood of $4,000 words
for this edition, and they have step
ped along at their task in the day

gether and the plan of the organiza-
ton unfolded and the commercial
firms and organizations Of the city
will be invited to endorse and sus-
tain it.
Columbus mas not had commercial
organization since the advent of the
war. Mr.. Ira CASTOR, president of
the old organization, has been giving
to the position all the time at his
command and has really done some
effective work, but without secre-
tary and without funds to prosecute
the work the scope Of his operations
has necessarily been limited.
That Columbus needs such an or
ganization and needs it badly does
not admit of any argument. There
are matters of large concern to cur
people Of daily occurrence upon which
the commercial interests of this city
should take action and the sooner
such an organization is established
here as a clearing house for all our
activities the sooner viii our city re-
ceive just recognition.

life in Meridian was a success from
the day he began it and he built up
large and lucrative practice which
he cheerfully gave up in response to
the call of the surgeon general for
medical volunteers for the world war.
He was commissioned as captain and
stationed at Camp Shelby where he
served as one of the chief physicians.
When the war was over he asked for
his discharge and returned to Merid-
ian, picking up the threads of his
private work just where he had laid
them down when he was called to the
colors.
AT night they called me and said
my friend wanted me, but when ]
reached his bedside he had just left.
Shall / say he is dead and / shall
see him no more? No, let's not think
of him as dead but as one who has
gone on a long journey, and we shall
some day follow him.
Tonight and in the nights that are
to come as / think of him he is here

DR.. BUCHANAN'S FINE
TRIBUTE TO DIR. TACKETT

DIR. J. R. Tackett was born Dec
ember Is, 1869, took his NJ. d. De
gree at Tulane University in New
Orleans. Later he took post grad
uate courses at John Hopkins, Bal
timore and the New York College of
medicine, attending lectures at the
Polytechnic in New York quite re-
Gently. On October 6,1902, he was
married to Miss Juanita Ayres. On
November oath, at the Meridian
Sanitarium he passed away after a
weeks illness.
The passing Of useful man from
the community is always serious
loss, and greater the loss when the
life of the departed had been given
to the service of humanity. Such
was the life and service of my friend
who has just preceded me a little
while.
DR.. Tackett was the son of a
physician, who early schooled him
in the sacrifices that must underlie
principles of great and good physic-
ians and it can be truly said that a
good part of his life was sacrificed
, TO duty.
His first devotional work was given
when for three years he has rendered
most efficient service as physician to
the East Mississippi Insane Hospital
AS my chief aid there we came into
close and most intimate association
] had opportunity to Judge him from
every angle and was never disap-
pointed in him. The honorariums he
received was meager for one Of his
worth, but his most unfortunate pa
tients and his tireless thought of then
showed the bigness of his heart.
Leaving the service of the state fol
private work he established himselt
on the coast, where in few months
he was found among the the mids
Of a yellow fever epidemic, devotinl
his whole time in fighting the courg,
until he was himself stricken dow
and came near losing his life. Oh
recovering he began the fight again
but he was never as strong as be
fore he was stricken. Subsequent.
he did valuable work for the govern
ment and state as yeilow-feyer ex
pert, ard during the Spanish Ameri
can war he was commissioned lieu
tenant and put in charge Of a yellow
fever hospital in Santiago, Cuba.
After the close Of the war he re
turned to Meridian and engaged
private practice. His professions

How completely Hudson's supremacy
is acknowledged. It's records are not
held by hairbreadths. They overshadow
all others by conclusive margins.
They bespeak the mastery of a type.
That is clear to all.
Consider that Hudson's leadership is
not divided. 1t is not merely the f1eetest
of cars. 1t holds all the worth while
power and acceleration records, too.
But chiefly it is famous for endur-
ance. No other car has ever shown
such endurance proofs. Look at the
records. Even more important, OBJ
serve how $4,000 Super-Sixes now in
service, confirm all the fine qualities
Hudson has proved in scores of tests.

Paper, as a substitute for linen, is
making itself valuable TO the house
wife and to the managers of tea rooms
and cafes. Not so much in the former
case as a matter of economizing in
linen, as economizing in labor. Nap
kins, tray cloths, doilies and center
pieces of linen are so cleverly made of
paper that they are proving altogether
satisfactory substitutes for it, except
upon occasions of more or less formal
ity. Napkins, once used, are thrown
away. Centerpieces, tray cloths and
doilies of paper can be used until
soiled. They are prettily made, very
cheap and eliminate laundering. Be
sides very pretty table may be set
forth with them.
Besides these paper furnishings for
the table, paper decorations for house
hold use are gaining ground. There is
a fad for lamp and candle shades of
parchment paper. These are hand
painted and do not suffer by compar-
ison with silk or glass shades, but are
far less expensive. Besides they allow
variety--when they finally become
soiled there is no great loss in destroy
ing them and providing new ones.
Paper rope is fashioned into handsome
baskets for fruits, bonbons and flow
ers. Lamp stands and vases are also
made of it and serving trays as attrac-
tive as those of wood.
Gradually the paper handkerchief is
making a place for itself and the pa
per hand towel. These commend
themselves to the motor tourist who
is making a long run, as especially
practical. Even hospitals are using
surgeons caps Of paper and small pa
per handkerchiefs for patients. These
are made very soft and absorbent, like
the towels.
