A HISTORIC NOTE.

Almost year ago it was that the
Germans made their furious attack
near Chateau Thierry on sector held
by French and Americans. The
French commanders decided that a
retirement was advisable and issued
an order to that effect. When the
American general received the order
he hesitated and then sent back to
the French commander the following
1--WE regret being unable to follow the
consuls of our masters the French,
but the American flag has been COM
PEELED TO retire. This is uncomfortable,
and none of our soldiers would under
stand not being asked to do whatever
is necessary to re-establish situation
which is humiliating alto US and un-
acceptable to our country's honor.
We are going to counter attack" AS
everyone will remember they did
counter attack with the result that the
Germans were cleaned out Of the dis
trict with true American thorough
ness. The author of the message was
first said to be Major General Omar
Bundy but later this was retracted
and Lieutenant General Bullard was
given the honor. Now both generals
have returned to America but tho
public has not yet determined which
of them really wrote the noe.

DECIDE JEFF DAVIS
HIGHWAY ROUTE.
JEFFERSON DAVIS HIGH
WAY COMMISSION Sc
LECT MARKETTE ROUTE
FROM WATER VALLEY
TO OXFORD.

The jefferson Davis Highway COM
mission met in Grenada to consider
matters relative to the construction
of the highway, and particularly to
receive the report of acommittee
named at the commissioners last meet
ing to pass on the merits of two pro-
posed routes for, the highway from
Water Valley to Oxford, one faction
contending that the better route was
on the Western side of the railroad
and by the town of Taylors, and the
other insisting that the better route
was the eastern, or Markette route.
The committee named consisted of o.
+. Larence, r. G. Fox and j. M. How
ard. This committee made its report
in favor or the Markette route and
the same was adopted by the commits
sion without a dissenting vote.
After the adoption of the report a
resolution was offered commencing
the spirit shown by the partisans of
both routes, which was adopted. 1t
was recalled that at the last meeting
bottle sides pledged themselves to ac-
cept and stand by the report of the
committee and to do all in their pow
er to push the sale of the necessary
bonds for the development and i'm
provement of the route named.
Various reports were filed from
different counties which showed a
healthy road spirit and fixed de-
termination to make the jefferson
Davis Highway all its most optimis-
tic promoters desired.

PETITION FOR PARDON

To His Excellency, Theo C. Bilbo,
Governor of Mississippi, and to the
State Pardoning Board of Mississippi.
We, the undersigned citizens of
Yalobusha County, respectfully Pc
ton Your Excellency, to pardon Jim
Brewer, Clinton Brewer and Webb
Brewer, who were convicted of Grand
Larceny at the July Ter mof the Cir
cult Court in the Second District of
Yalobusha County, Mississippi, and
sentenced to serve FIVE YEARS in
the State penitentiary.
We ask for a pardon on the
grounds that the evidence was con-
fiictlng to say the least, and has a
tendency to show that even though
they were guilty in sense, it was a
case of mistaken identity as to the
property charged to have been stolen,
that all three of the men are white
citizens, and have families, Jim Brow
er having several small children one
of them being born since he began
serving his sentence, Clinton Brewer
also having a little son about two
years old, all three of the parties be-
ing good substantial farmers. and are
needed at home.
The sentence was unreasonable, in
as much as they were given the maxi
mum, which practically mans a life
time sentence so far as Webb Brow
er is interested, in as much as he was
about FIFTY FIVE years of age at
the time of his conviction and we be-
lieve that the parties have been suf-
ficiently punished already.
In petitioning for the pardon of Jim
Webb and Clinton Brewer we desire
to state that The Board of Pardons
considered the cases of the men and
placed all of them on the Meritorious
List of the Board of Pardons and that
the same will be up for final action at
the next meeting of said Board.

MENU FOR THE RETURNED
SOLDIER.
What to Do to Keep Him Happy in
His New Old Job.

Have you returned soldier in your
home? And would you like to be
happy? To forget those French made
moiselles Toot Sweet? To 90 back
to his new old job and stick, even
though it does seem to be of a bore at
first! Then follows this advice, app
proved by Colonel Woods, Assistant
to the Secretary of War.
Feed him well, and you will make
him happy. Give him good food, plain
cooking and very fancy cooking. But
remember that he has acquired certain
inalienable hatreds.
DON'T-give him beans. Green
beans are all right. But never give him
the comedy beans.
DON'T-give him salmon. Not
cooked or smoked in salad.
DON'T-give him hash. Not even
if he liked it before.
DON'T-give him corned beef. Not
even in sandwiches or with eggs.
When he was "over there" he called it
"Corned Willy" Monkey meat" and
Bully Beef"
DON'T-give him bread pudding.
he has had a great deal too much of
it.
DON'T-give him rice pudding. It
will make him think he is being forci-
bly, fed.
DON'T-give him condensed milk.
DON'T-give him Irish stew. He
used to call it ''slum" in the army. He
no longer desires it.
DON'T-give him horse meat. You
wouldn't any way, but nevertheless
DON'T.
This leaves number of pleasant
dishes which you may serve him. He
will welcome chocolate ice cream,
thick steak, roast beef, French fried
potatoes, salad with Russian dress
ing, ham and eggs, and other delect-
able dishes.
If you treat him so outlined, he
will once more be one of the worlds
happy workers, and stick to his job,
be it old or new.

The three golden balls, the fam
liar sign of the pawnbroker's estab-

of thge famous Medici family of Italy.
The balls represent golden pills,
an allusion to the skill in medicine
for which the family was eminent.
The Medici were also extensive money
lenders, and when an agent of the
family opened branch in London he
hung out golden balls to indicate
who his employers were. Gradually
this sign soon became the emblem

LATE CABBAGE

Late cabbage is usually grown on
land that has been utilized for peas,
early potatoes, or early beans dur
ing the early part of the season.
The seed should be sown in a
seed box or a special bed four to
six weeks before, the plants are
needed for setting. The seed should
not be sown too thickly, and it is a
good plan to thin the plants to an
even stand in the seed bed, so that
they will develop uniformly. The
land on which late cabbage is
grown should be we'll fortified. and
the plants set 10 to 20 inches apart
in rows three feet apart. Where
the work of cultivation is to be
done entirely by means of hand
tools, the plants may be set Is to
"a inches apart in each direction.
The number of plants to be set in
the home garden will depend upon
the requirements of the family.
Late cabbage natures about the
time of the first heavy autumn
frosts, and will withstand consid-
cradle cold. The crop usually is
stored in pits in the garden, or
sometimes in cool cellar.-Un;ted
