TROUT FISHING,

BY Charles A. Heath.
] can hardly keep from wishing
That my job was just a fishing
MIN some cool and sparkling brook;
Where the trout are shyly waiting
For the fly I'm contemplating.
With its neatly hidden hook
Where the waters swift are flowing,
Dashing onward, ever going.
Into mist and silver spray.
Where the ripples are a dancing,
Charming spot and one enhancing,
Where the speckled beauties lay.
Man for perfect bliss is signing.
Thinks IL comes right after dying,
In some place prepared and mt;
Yet he here could start his pleasure,
Find it too and without measure,
If he owned a fishing kit
Take a fly and cast your troubles.
Where the brOOklet whrls and bubbles
Into pools adOwn the stream.
Something quick will take Il under.
It's your trout! And, sayi You'll won
der,
Like it was a pleasant dream.

AM: COTTON ASSN.
ORGANIZER HERE
Hon. H. H. Weir, of Meridian, to Visit
Columbus Soon In Interest of
Cotton Association.

Interest is being aroused in Missis-
sippi in the organization of the Mis-
sissippi Division Of the American Cot.
ton Association. 1t is announced by
N. B. Forrest, membership director
for the State that H. H. Weir, of Mer.
idian, has been appointed to organize
the first and fifth congressional dis
tricts.
Mr.. Weir expects to visit Columbus
in the near future. Mr.. Weir was
formerly Federal Director for the
state for the U. S. Employment Ser
vice, and later editor of the Meridian
Dispatch. Mr.. Weir has entered acti-
vely upon his duties as organizer Of
the two districts mentioned.
In this connection it is stated that
Meridian has made arrangements
whereby there will be at least one
warehouse with a competent grader
which will comply with the Federal
warehouse provision and it is thought
that the other cotton markets Of these
two districts will fall in line at once
to comply with the regulations.
This is the first work that is con-
templated in the local work of the
American Cotton Association and it
is hoped to have this completed at
once that the farmers may have the
opportunity of Immediately securing
advantage Of warehousing facilities.
The receipts that will be secured
through these warehouses will be re-
cognized as first class security by any
of the banks and the Federal Reserve
Banks, and should enable the farmers
and merchants to hold their cotton
until spring if necessary.

FOOT BALL GAME
HERE TOMORROW
GENERALS CLASH WITH
MERIDIAN HIGH SCHOOL
VEN.
WILL BE FAST GAME
Generals Are indicated and
are Determined TO Win From
Meridian-Big Crowd Ex-
pected for the Game.

Turkey Day in Columbus will not
be without its main feature Of diver
sion--foot bali.
In the South Thanksgiving Day has
come to be day Of sport as we'll as
an occasion to return thanks to the
Giver of All Good Gifts.
Columbus foot ball fans have rare
treat in store for them.
They will witness their own cham
lpionship foot ball eleven clash with
the fast Meridian High School eleven
on the Barrow field gridiron.
The game viii be called at $3.50 in
the afternoon and from all indications
the crowd will be record breaker.
The stores and other places Of bust
ness in the city will be closed through
out the day and this will enable many
to attend the game who otherwise
would not have opportunity to do so.
Coach Brandon has had the Generals
out on Barrow field each afternoon
this week running signals and practic-
ing new trick plays which he expects
to use in the game against Meridian.
He has been emphasizing the use Of
aerial tactics and the ends have been
working hard getting under long
passes and short ones.
In the line of scrimmage and second
airy defense the Generals are in the
pink Of condition. With the strongest
and greatest backfield in High School
circles this season, and a line that is
comparable with any Hi eleven in the
state, the Generals are ready to meet
all-comers for the state championship.
4. No definite arrangements have been
made yet for a post-season game
with the powerful Louisville team. The
negotiations are being held up pend
ing the outcome Of the Louisville
Alderman game tomorrow. 1t is prob
able that the Generals will play the
winner Of that game.
II you want to see a real foot ball
team in action and real foot ball
game go out to Barrow field Thanks
giving afternoon at $3.50 and you will
be fully repaid for the time you spend
there.
The Generals will go to quite an
expense to bring the Meridian team
up here and the people here should
support the team by attending the
game tomorrow.

JOHNS HOME is
DAMAGE BY FIRE

A disastrous fire came very near
completely destroying the home Of
Mrs. H. E. Johns on South Second
street Sunday morning.
The fire was discovered in the roof
of the building about o'clock Sun
day morning and by the time the fire.
men reached the scene the entire roof
was a mass of flames. 1t is believed
that the fire originated from defec-
tive flue.
The entire second floor of the build
ing was destroyed and practically all
of the furniture was either destroyed
or damaged. Very few things were
saved.
The loss will run up into the thous-
ands and it is partially covered by in
surance.
