Big DAMAGE SUIT
HAS BEEN FILED
c. F. Wheeless Suing the Cumberland
Telephone Company for $4,000 for
Damages Sustained From Being
Caught By Trailing Wire.

c. F. Wheeless of Port Gibson has
entered suit, through his attorneys,
R. B. Anderson of Port Gibson and J.
d. Thames of Vicksburg, against the
Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph
Co. in the sum of $4,000 for damages
sustained last November when he
stepped into loop in trailing wire
which had been picked up by car
driven by ]. L. Brown. 1t was about
dusk on the eveninr unon which the
accident occurred, and Mr.. Wheeless
attempted to cross the street at Marx
4 Morehead's stable just after the car
had passed. He did not see the trail
ing. wire and stepped into loop which
had formed in it. His foot caught
and he was dragged some distance
before his cries were heard. His hip
was dislocated and he was confined
IN a Vicksburg sanitarium for several
weeks, and has been crippled since.
Mr.. Wheeless claims that the wire
was carelessly left in the street near
the oil mill by lineman working for
the Cumberland Co.
The case will probably be heard at
the September term of court.

taking.

Melvin, field secretary for education Of
the Southern Presbyterian church, at
the Peabody hotel Friday to formulate
plans for statewide survey Of Mis-
sissippi preliminary to the campaign
to raise that states quota Of 100000
toward establishing a great Presbyte
rian educational institution at Mem
phis.
Contingent unon the city Of Mem
phis raising $500,000 to bring the
Southwestern Presbyterian university
from Clarksville, Tenn, to this city,
the synods Of Tennessee, Alabama,

You Can See Before You Buy
We Show You the Real Implements, Not Simply
Pictures OF Them

1t is a valuable human trait to want
to see before you buy. Suppose you
want to buy horse. One man brings
to you a picture Of horse; another
man brings a real horse. Which in
terests you the most--the picture or
the real thing?
The picture tells you nothing ex-
cept in a general way. What you
want TO know, as a prospective pur-
chaser, is in particular way You
want TO know whether the horse is
sound Of limb and body; how old, stur-
dy and active it is, and something
definite as to its spirit. The picture
tells you none Of these things. You
can learn them only by inspecting the
horse closely and seeing it in action.
The Port Gibson reveille., 1920-07-15

It's just as unsatisfactory to buy a
farm implement from apicture as it Is
to buy a horse from picture. You
can't tell from an illustration whether
or not the implement shown has ma
teriaI Of inferior quality in the con-
struction of some Of its parts. You
can't tell whethereor not it has op-
eratng faults. You CAN tell if you
closely inspect the implement itself
and watch the operation Of its parts.
We have high-elas line Of imple-
ments for your inspection. Call and
see them and satisfy yourself as to
their quality and operating capabili-
ties. That's the safe preparation for
buying. Wen be mighty glad to see
you.

WANT SCHOOL DISTRICT
GREATLY EXTENDED

The trustees of the Port Gibson
High School have been formulating
plans for extending the school distric;
to include large part Of the outlying
country around Port Gibson. In case
this is done, transfers will be supplied
for bringing the children to the Port
Gibson school.
While there is some opposition on
the part of af ew of the parents re-
sidino in the country, the proposition
seems to have met with favor on the
part of the majority.
The proposed extension will en-
brace several miles in each direction
from town.

Loss Of Appetite.

As general rule there is nothing
serious about 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
elapse between meals so as to give the
food ample time to digest and the
stomach a period of rest before a
second meal is taken. Then il you
eat no more than you crave and take
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-
tion as Is often the case, that should
be corrected at once. A dose Of Cham
berlain's Tablets will do it. (Adv.

properly directed leisure-time activ-
tiles have to the successive stages of
child development, and to the adult
period as we'll. 1t will be a practical
demonstration of the use which NAV
be made of the thousands OF off-dutv

time may be made community as
set rather than liability which is
often the case.
Eighteen groups totalling $50 in

on the exhibition. Ten Of these come
from the grade schools, three from

farmers and there are no reports of
collections being forced from agricul-
