SHOOTING AT GOSS
MAY PROVE FATAL

Columbia, Miss, Jan. 6.-Goss, 8
miles above Columbia on the Gulf
and Ship Island Railroad, was the
scene Of another tragedy Sunday
night, in which one young man, w.
O. Robertson, was seriously and per-
haps fatally shot and another young
man, Andrew Tate, received two bull
let wounds through the thigh. Young
Robertson was returning to his home
near Goss and was passing the corner
of the W. B. Knapp Store when he
was fired upon by two parties whom
he did not recognize. They fired six
times at Robertson, four of which
took effect, one in the back, pene-
trating the left lung, one in the side
and two in the right leg.
Robertson fell and while lying on
the ground pulled his pistol and fired
six shots at his assaiIants, two of
which took effect in the right thigh
of young Andrew Tate. Tate was
arrested by local officers, while
young Robertson was hurried to the
hospital here, where his condition
was pronounced serious.
The other white man who was with
Tate when the murderous attack was
made upon Robertson has not yet
been arrested, but Officers are on the
lookout for him.
A negro man, heavily armed with
a shotgun and pistol, drove up to
Goss this morning in an automobile
which was recognized by some par
ties as the one in which Tate and his
friend came to Goss in last night,
and he was at once arrested as an
accessory and brought here and
lodged in Jail.
The difficulty is said to have oc-
Cured over a woman, a sister Of
young Tate's, to whom Robertson
had been paying some attention.

deposits to that amount they are i'm
Immediately recognized as big insti-
tntions, and it reflects great credit
upon the community where such
banks are located.

Your Liberty Bond.

The United States Government Dor
rowed money from you to finance the
War. You hold the Government pro-
mise to pay you back This promise
is called a Liberty Bond or Victory
Note. On this Bond is stated the con-
ditions under which the Government
borrowed the money from you.
For instance: If you hold a Bond
of the Third Liberty Loan, it states
that on April 18th and October 18th
of each year until maturity, you will
receive interest on the amount you
paid for the Bond. Other issues bear
other rates of interest and other ma
turity dates, all of which are clearly
stated on the Bond.
Now, if you keep your Bond until
the date the Government pays you
in full for it, you do not need to worry
if, in the meantime, the price is low
one day or high the next. You and
Uncle Sam are living up to your
agreement with each other, and Meth
er will lose by it.
On the other hand, if you sell your
Liberty Bond now, you will find that
the man you sell it to will not give
you dollar for every dollar you paid
for it. The price has been brought
down because so many people are Of
fering to sell their Bonds. If the mar
ket is flooded with tomatoes, you
can buy them cheap, but if everyone
is clamoring for tomatoes and there
are few to be had, the price goes up.
The same is true of Liberty Bonds.
Short-sighted people are dumping
them on the market, and wise ones are
buying them.
The best advice that can be given to
the owner of Liberty Bond is this
Hold the bond you bought during the
war; it is as safe and sound as the
United States Government itself.
Buy as many more at the present
low rate as you can afford. If you
hold them to maturity, you are bound
to make the difference between what
they sell at now and their face value
You will also receive good interest on
your investment.
Hold on to your Liberty Bonds and
buy more.
