Pioneer Citizen
 Died At Haynes

On Thursday of last week W. R. Grant, aged seventy-five years, one of the pioneer citizens of Lee county, died. He was born on Feb ruary 9, 1845 and died within three hundred yards of his birth place. He was one of the sturdy, stalwart, peaceable, hard-working, law-loving characters, known and loved by ev- erybody in his section of the coun- ty. His type is rapidly passing away. The ranks of the old timers are thinning fast, and with their passing there is being removed from life's activities many of the finest and noblest characters who ever graced Gods footstool. MT. Grant leaves a wife, six sons and daugh- ters, thirteen grandchildren and one sister. The sons are Walter, Lee and Morris Grant of Haynes. The daughters are Mrs. Emma Grant Brown and Mrs. Hilder Grant Rodg- CTS of Haynes, and Mrs. Bell Grant Christian of Corning. His surviving sister is Mrs. Matte Haynie of Helena. Mrs. Haynie is the only surviving member of a family of thirteen children.

Season of Store
 Closing is Ended

With the closing of all places in Marianna yesterday afternoon, the summer half-holiday season ended for the year. Under the terms of the agreement signed by the busi- ness men last May all places of business in Marianna were to close each Thursday afternoon up to Sep tember 1, in order that employees might have a brief respite from their duties. This custom has pre- vailed in Marianna for three sum- mers and has worked so satisfac- torily that practically no opposition has manifested itself to the idea. This summer the strong independ- ent baseball team has been furnish ing exciting entertainment each Thursday afternoon. Those who like fishing better than witnessing ball game have been spending the Thursday afternoons on the lakes. Others have taken advantage of the half holiday to motor to neighbor- ing towns, or to the St. Francis riv- CT for a swim. The employees have expressed on many occasions and in many ways their keen apprecia- tion for this consideration shown them by the heads of the business institutions in Marianna.

JORDANS DEATH
 SHOCKED CITY
MANAGER OF BOTT BROTHERS SHAVE MILL KILLED FRIDAY, WAS POPULAR AND USEFUL CITIZEN.

The tragic death of R. M. Jordan, manager of the Bott Bros. slave mill here, on last Friday when he was struck on the forehead with stove bolt, was a shock to the community. MT. Jordan died on the train shortly after the noon hour Friday while he was being taken to Memphis for an operation. Mrs. Jordan, who started to Mem phis, left the train at Brickeys and motored back to Marianna to be with her children. Drf H. D. Be- gart accompanied the body to Mem phis and had it prepared for burial. The remains were shipped back to Marianna Saturday and on Sunday afternoon funeral services were held at the family residence on Pearl street, Rev. Jno. A. Womack of the Methodist church in charge. The body was inferred in Cedar Heights cemetery. Hundreds of sorrowing friends attended the services at the residence and followed the body to it's last resting place. Scores of beautiful floral designs attested in silent language the high esteem in which MT. Jordan was held.
 MT. Jordan was only 34 years of age. He was a native of Cross county. At the age of eighteen years he joined the Methodist church at Cherry Valley and he lived a consistent Christian life up to the hour of his death. On September 22, 1907, he was married to Miss May Curtner. In addition to his wife he is survived by two sons and daughter, his father and mother, who reside in Wynne, three brothers and two sisters.
 MT. Jordan came to Marianna about two years ago to take charge of the Bott Bros. slave mill. Dur ing his brief residence here he left a deep impress upon the community and made friends of all whom he met. He was clean and straight forward in all his business dealings, led a life of uprightness and morality. made friends easily, had the confi- dence and good will of the business men of the city and in all his rela- tionships,- ps,-personal, business and re- ligious-he measured up to an ex- ceptionally high standard. His death is a distinct loss to the com munity.

GEHEE LOSES
 TO THE LOCALS
VISITORS HAD GAME ON ICE UNTIL EIGHTH INNING WHEN MARIANNA PUT FOUR RUNS OVER PLATE.

In very slow game and unin- teresting from local standpoint till the eighth inning Marianna took the McGehee club into camp by the score of 6 to last Thursday after noon. The enemy took the lead in the first stanza and retained it un- til the eighth when, with two outs, the local came to life and coppered four tallies which added to the two made at the start of the fracas, was enough to win.
 The visitors opened up as if they intended to sew the old game up in bag right now. The first man up took one in the slats, the next connected for two bases, the third man singled and two runs came in. This was followed by ground CT and a wild pitch and run num- Der three registered. In the locals half they got two of these back when Hardin drew four wide ones, took second on a pass ball, third on Murdock's grounder to first and tallied on Burke's safety. Burke stole second and came in on Der rick's two-base blow.
 The visitors added their fourth run in the second when Bricker reached second on two successive wild heaves by Murdock and scored on Parker's hit. Their fifth and last counter was made in the eighth when Robinson singled, took second on an error, third on a wild pitch and was squeezed in by a nifty bunt on the part of Miles.
 In the locals half of the eighth, Harrington, first up, lined out to center. Burke doubled, Gray was hit, Derrick hit one down the third base line and beat it out. With the bases loaded Reeves popped out, to first and it looked like good chance gone. Nixon then came Up and missed two and was all set to miss another one when he suddenly changed his mind and slammed the ball high and far to deep right center. The visiting middle gardner made long run and good effort but failed to hold the ball and the bases were cleaned ands the score tied. Keeshan promptly untied it with a three -bagger down the right field foul line and died at the plate when he tried to stretch 1t to a homer. A@O,. g'.i

REFUSES 20 PER
 CENT BY. PASSENGER BOOST

Little Rock, Aug. 26.-The Ar kansas Corporation Commission to- day denied an application by rail roads of the state of 20 per cent increase in passenger fares, effec- tive on September 1, on grounds that an old statute fixed the rate at three cents, the amount being charged. The old two-cent law superseded the three-cent statute, but the two-cent rate statute was thrown out by the courts, leaving, the commission contends, the three cent law in force. The railroads will appeal to the interstate com merce commission and to the courts it is said.
 The commission was divided one to one, on the application for a fifty per cent surcharge on Pull man rates. The third commissioner is out of the state and decision cannot be rendered until his return. One of the commissioners present held the commission also was not authorized to grant the increase, and the other held that it was.

SCARCE
IN CALIFORNIA

SACRAM ENTO, Apr. 1.-THE po-
tato shortage in California is acute
Not only is there very limited sup
ply OF this important food product
stored In warehouses and cold stor-
age plants at the principal distribu-
tion oenters OF the state, but the
growers themselves are now facing
a serious problem In being unable to
secure sufficient and satisfactory
supply OF seed stock.
These are among the outstanding
features Of a special report filed with
Governor william d. Stephens by
State Director OF Agriculture @. r..
Hecke as the result CT an investiga-
ton OF the potato situation in Cali
fornia by men of his department.
The investigation was ordered by
Hecke In view Of numerous com
plants by consumers that dealers
have been profiteering in potatoes by
holding large supplies in storage un-
I'll they spoiled In order to hold up
the prcies. These charges OF hoard
ing, it is pointed out in the report,
are not borne out by facts.
Eecke has also advised the COVER
nor that the investigation disclosed
no evidence of unnecessary waste.
While the matter OF prices is not dis
cussed in the report, practically the
entire blame now prevailing Is at
tached to the shortage.
The amount. Of potatoes held at
terminal points, including Saera-
mento, Stockton, San Francisco and
Los Angeles, for distribution through
ont the state, according to. the report,
is not more than approximately 2oo,-
900 sacks. Under normal conditions
and at ordinary prices, Hecks esti-
mates that from rs to SO per cent
OF this stock would be used for seed
potatoes.
