Proposed Foreign Cruise af the

AT the instance of the Bureau Of

Chief OF the Fleet. who has express

practice. The first plan calls for a
period Of 40 days. 80 days of which
would be spent in port and 80 days
enroute. The itinerary would cover
about 1900 miles. There is no
doubt that such sightseeing cruise
would be OF inestimable value to
the officers and men of the Navy,
and should appeal to adventurous
young men of Mississippi who would
like to see the world under such ia
yorable auspices. Navy Recruiting
Stations are maintained at Meridi-

between the ages of II and So who
are interested in this proposed cruise

MUSCLE SHOALS
HIGHWAY MEETING
AT Tuscumbia, Ala, Friday June
18th. 1919.

Every member of this organiza.
ton, interested in any part Of the
west end of this Highway between
Memphis and Florence, is expected
to be on hand at this meeting. to
assists in the plans. for connecting
up the different links OF the High
way to the best advantage for the
whole road; the financial part Of the
proposition having been virtually all
arranged for, there remain nov
only to connect up the different
links of the road, SO as to build it
over the best. and most direct route
between the two points. We should
keep in mind that this Highway
will finally extend to Washington
and New York City, east and to
California and the Pacific, west and
should go as straight as possible,
like a trans-contienental railroad;
and Tishiomingo county should feel
Justly proud, that this great High
way originated in this county, and
our missioner, officials and
citizens should see that it is made a
model road across this, its home
county, a broad guage road, by the
most direct route, and built OF the
very best material obtinable in the
county, SO as to avoid retiec-
tions later, by the thousands OF
tourists. that will pass over this
Highway annually. This road is
not intended to be built as soap
bubble job" but it is intended to
be built for perm anence, so that in
after years, it will stand as credit
to the county, and to every indi-
vidual, that assisted in any way in
making 1t a reality.

Ex-Gov. A. II. Longino Speaks
In Iuka.

Ex-Gov. A. Fl. Longino, candi-
date for Governor, spoke in Iuka
Monday at 10 O'Clock a. m. If the
Governors date had not been mis-
understood. a much larger crowd
would have attended. The Court
House was not filled, but the en-
tire county was represented by q
most attentive audience. Next to
our lamented Stone it is said Lon
gino made Mississippi her best
Governor. We believe the people
of Tishominge county are tired OF
factional politics, and when it
comes to the vote will cast it for
this good man, who has been called
from private life by his numerous
admirers to enter this campaign.
Gov. Longino in speaking has some
thing to say, he talks right from
the shoulder there is no mud
singing or criticism of his oppo-
nents. In fact bis speech is clean
and it is readily seen Mississippi
would do well to again honor this
son of hers, who will give to the
State an upright and honest admin
istration.
