PREPARING REPORT ON
EUREKA-CROESUS PROPERTIES

Major Henry G. Catlin is nearing
the completion of an elaborate re-
port on the Eureka-Croesus mine for
submission to the stockholders. He
has steadfastly held to the belief for
more than thirty years that greater
and more valuable ore bodies will be
found at depth than were encountered
during the prosperous days of the
camp. The developments in the
mine during the past year have con-
firmed his theory and it is understood
that he will make thorough exposi-
ton of the facts that have been estab-
lished to conclusively prove that he
has been right In his conclusions
from the beginning.

SEVERAL INTERESTING

last week about the Tallulah ball team
out-clcasing the local boys. The game
Thursday afternoon resulted in a VIC
tory for the home boys BY a score Of
3 to /. The Tallulah team came with
such big reputation that Port Gibson
was afraid Of it and practically gave
away the first game. However, they
came to themselves the next day and
gave the visitors a big surprise.
The local boys defeated the Fayette
team Tuesday afternoon by score of
3 to A. This was an unusually spirit
ed game, and some excellent playing
was done
The boys will ccross bats with Roll

Port Gibson is doing som good play
ing, and the games are worth while.
Some of the daddies are always pres
ent to encourage and threaten the
boys. In fact, it sometimes occurs
that the players are warned by the
pater Of the family that poor playing
will deprive the player Of the evening

Loss Of Appetite.

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss Of appetite, and
if you skip a meal or only eat two
meals day for few days you will
soon have relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in mind
that at least five hours should always
eIapse between meals so as to give the
food ample time to digest and the
stomach period Of rest before a
second meal is taken. Then if you
eat no more than you crave and take
a reasonable amount Of outdoor ex-
ercise every day you will not need to
worry about your appetite. When the
loss Of appetite is cause by constipa-
fion as is often the case. that should
be corrected at once. A dose Of Cham
berlain's Tablets viii do it. (Adv-

THE GIRL oF THE pERIop.

Some people who study the ways
OF the young woman of today, feel
that every year is Leap Year now
The old tradition held that women
should adopt an attitude of reserve
and wait until the male sex might sec
ut to offer them attention, seems to
have disappeared. The popular young
men are pestered with invitations
from their girl friends. Business men
complain that the time Of their male
helpers is taken up by young women
who come in to see them and call them
over the telephone.
This gives these popular bows a too
lord and superior feeling, and leads
them to neglect good manners and
chivalrous standards.
Some people feel that the modern
girl is losing a sense Of personal re-
serve and modesty. so freely does she
scatter her embraces among all com
ers.
Of course multitude of young wom-
en- have always been brought up in
careless way, to be free with men.
whether the prevailing standards Of
conduct have let down in the last gen
GRAFTON is open to question.
hS EiAl I'LL VIII ana menLal aDll-
ity IS not letting herself go in this
manner. She is not satisfied too with
attention from anything having mas
culine gender, and prefers to pick and
choose. If 50 be thgt she must there
by be left behind when mating comes.
she would rather live her own inde-
pendent career, than tie herself to
mental sluggishness for life.
The girl who holds herself In re-
serve is most attractive to men who
amount to anything. Anything that
is thrown at their heads too cheaply
seems undesirable and shopworn. The
bright, clever. we'll educated girl Of
today is wonderful product Of en-
lightened personality. Any man ought
to be proud either Of her friendship
or her deeper affection. It is not
good for him to feel that either are
easily won. II should cost him some
sort Of struggle. Exchange.
