STOREHOUSE AND STOCK
DESTROYED BY FIRE

An alarm of fire was turned into
headquarters Monday afternoon at
about 3 o'clock and as soon as pos
sible the auto truck was speeding to
the scene, which was the store-house
owned by Bob Hardy, the colored
porter of the M. & o. railroad, but
occupied as mercantile establish
ment, operated by Mr.. Jesse Smith,
He had recently gone into the busi-
ness, having saved sufficient to fix
himself up for the trade.
He had left the store to go home
and see how his wife was getting
along, she being ill, and on return
ing the store was in flames. Mr..
Smith had small fire in the heater
when he went home but did not
think there was any danger Of fire.
He had just opened with stock
of goods valued so he said at $500,
and had 5000 in cash in drawer
under the counter, the sales OF Sat-
urday. All went up in smoke.
The fire department was handl-
capped in trying to get water to the
fire, it being impossible to get suf-
ficient pressure to force water to
the burning store. There was no
insurance.

as cleanup day some twelve hund-
red students, of all classes and gra-

Moreover, instructions were issued
for suspension Of all classroom work
for the day and for all officers to re-
main closed until the cleaning-up
work was finished.
This cleaning up activity was not
confined to students circles, but ex-
tended to all campus residents, over
alls and house gowns being the uni
form for the day.
The cadets were lined up in regu-
lar assembly formation and were
sent forth with rakes, spades, grass

of this assault on dead leaves and
other forms of trash was wonderful
"a veritable delight to the eve.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
TO LITTLE CHILD

An accident of serious nature
occurred last Saturday on the cotton
mill ground, little child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe Simpson being severely
burned with hot melted tallow.
1t appears that Mrs. Simpson had
a cake of tallow which she placed in
a pan on the stove to melt. AS soon
as the tallow melted she took the pan
up and intended placing it in bowl
on the table. Just as she was car
rying the grease across the floor,
the little fellow with companion,
in playing, ran against her, upset
ting the contents on her son, scald-
ing his face and shoulders fearfully.
DIR. Long gave it medical atten-
tion and believes with careful nurs-
ing it will soon be well.

LYCEUM AT HIGH SCHOOL.

Monday evening at the Sttarkville
Public School most attractive pro-
gram was rendered by four very tai
ented young ladies, the Symphony
Girls. This was the second of a
series of lyceum attractions which
are being offered by the school this
year. The program consisted of
songs, readings and instrumental
selections of such variety that any
audience might have found it enter
tanning. 1t included the latest pop
ular music as well as the old songs
we all love to hear, and several
fresh attractive selections which
were greatly enjoyed.
Other attractions will follow at
various intervals throughout the
year. The next number will be the
International Glee Club, male
quartette, who will present a pro-
gram at the school building on Dec.
/. This entertainment bids fair to
be quite as attractive as the last.

the Board of Directors of the Cham
Der of Commerce decided to erect
a big sign or rent regular space
on the sign board, opposite the sta
tion at Artesia, and place thereon
an advertisement telling of the ad-
vantages of Oktibbeha and Stark

plan feasible. 1t was brought out
that thousands of people pass thru

it is hoped, that Oktibbeha will be

noon for Carbondale, Ill. where they
have gone to identify and bring

in telegraphic communication with
the chief of police of Carbondale for
several days attempting to identify
the negro being held by them as the

ton fit so closely that there is hard
ly any doubt that the Illinois auth
