Ships Cattle By Carload
To New Orleans Market

Hazlehurst, Miss, Dec. 10. - ]. B.
Mayes, a farmer residing west of Ha-
| zlehurst shipped solid carload of
cattle to the New Orleans market Sat-
urday, and will ship another car this
week. He permits all farmers to ship
in his cars with him free of all hand
ling charges, each farmer getting what
the cattle brings, less actual costs. He
says the cattle market is poor but that
the cents they are getting is better
than holding the cattle to feed on high
priced feed all winter.
Hundreds of cattle will be shipped
from Hazlehurst before Christmas due
to high price of feedstuffs. George
Peel, a dealer in cattle, also shipped
car of cows to New Orleans, and will
ship again Wednesday. Hogs by the
hundreds are being butchered and sold
here for about Is cents per pound, and
country butchered steak can be bought
for 10 cents. But the markets here still
charge 25 and 80 cents per pound for
all meats, and each town user of steak
is wondering why high prices still pre-
vail at the local meat houses when
the cattle are bought at to cents
on foot. In recent years, Copiah has
increased its cattle industry over 1000
per cent and herds of finest cattle
are to be seen in every part of the coun-
try.
Mrs. Willie Martin Hoskins, for 20
years leading educator of the county
and daughter of Judge Monroe Mar
tin, of Hazlehurst, died at her home
in Martinsville yesterday. She was
principal of the large Martinsville Con-
solidated school for several years and
since her marriage has kept up her work
as educator in this county. She is sur
vived by her husband, and many rela-
tives. She was fifty years of age. Fu-
neral exercises were held today from
her residence. conducted by Rev. Frank
Moody Purser, of the First Baptist
Church here, after which burial was in
Hazlehurst City Cemetery
The Copiah Truckers Association met
at the court house Saturday and made
arrangements for the borrowing of mon
ey with which to buy seeds, fertilized,
and other needed supplies for the COM
ing year for all members of the organ
ization. They decided it was cheaper
to borrow money at per cent and pay
cash for supplies instead of buying on
time and paying credit prices for all
they would need. Jeff D. Miller the
general manager, was authorized to close
the loan needed and a meeting to close
be held again next Saturday when each
member will make known the exact a.
mount of supplies he will need for his
individual wants. The largest fertili-
zer contract ever known here in one or
der will be made. New members are be-
ing enrolled and the association will be
much larger than any other like organi-
zation in the state.

COLLEGE STUDENTS
LOWER IN GRADE
Survey Shows Falling on in Intelligence
from Old Standards Since the
war.

st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 1.-THE average
intelligence of college students is lower
that that which prevailed years a!so, ac-
cording to the annual report Of DR..
Frederick A. Hall. chancellor Of Wash
ington University. This conclu 81 IN. the
report explains, comedies with that of
authorities in other educational insti-
tutions, as ascertained through CORES
pondence. The number of college stu
dents has been increasing steadily, the
report states.
IF the present growth of numbers
is indicative of what may be expected
in the near future" continues the re-
port, "the colleges will have to watch
carefully in order to prevent turning
out lower type Of graduate than that
which characterized colleges hith ,rto.
1T is only fair to say that, so far
as can learn from the faculty, t is
thought that the work of the student
body has not this year been as Hood as
that of previous years; that contrary
to the peoples expectations that the
young would be more purposeful and
earnest by reason of war experlo lee.
they seem to be less inclined to serious
tion of students had to be dropped
because Of the inferior quality of their
work"
The report asserts that until two
years ago the proportional increase by
women in the college section Of the
university was gaining, notably in the
proportional increase to the number Of
men. but that In the last two years the
proportional increase by men has been
greater.

PRESIDENT ASKS AID
FOR STARVING BABES
Wilson says ne Adopts Twenty Desti-
tute European Children as HIS
wards.

Washington, Dec. 13.-President Will
son issued an appeal from the White
House today for funds to aid SOC, 900
children who are facing starvation in
Central Europe this winter The re-
quest declares it has been estimated
that an amount equivalent to $50 per
child will tide the little ones over till
the next harvest, which is all that is
desired.
The countries concerned, says the
statement can furnish two-thirds of
this amount and the remaining third,
$40, will result in saving Of the childs
life. The president announces that he
has devoted 5000 of his personal funds
to the saving of twenty of these chill
dren.
The bulletin asserts that eight of
the largest relief organizations have
united in this work. These include
the American Relief Association;
American Red Cross; American
Friends Service Committee; Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee; Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in Amer
lea; Knights Of Columbus; Y M. c. A.;
and Y. w. c. A.

men," the appeal concludes, that the
circles around their Christmas trees
will be incomplete unless, mingled with
their own expectant children, they
shall visualize some of the waits of
Central Europe, stretching out their
thin hands to pluck from the boughs
of the trees, not toys, but bread, with
out which they must perish"

Fire Crackers Shot Only in Back Lot.
Here's the way they are going to

says the American:-
Fire-crackers must not be shot with
in the city limits, nay not even in back
alleys according to the decree of the
city officials The only place permis-
sible for the shooting of fire-crackers
is the vacant lot of a private yard
First cases of violation of the law
are coming up now in this regard, .and
Mayor T. E. Batson says that a five
dollar fine is to be imposed on those
guilty of shooting fire-crackers on the
streets or in alleys.
There has been some shooting of fire
works from automobiles. said Mr.. Bat
son. This is not to be tolerated by the
city officials, and arrests will be made
of those people guilty of taking advan-
tage of moving vehicle to throw a
lighted fire-cracker in the street or at
some particular individual.
Small boys will now have to seek va
cant lots for their fun, or else run the

wind-Up of Successful, Satisfactory
Sale BY the Priebatsch Firm.

As a finale to the successful and sat
isfactory sale to all parties concerned,
both sellers and buyers, the firm of
Max Priebatsch Saturday gave away
$4,000 in gold before one of the larg-
est crowds ever assembled together at
Brookhaven business house at one
time. Those who received the free
$4,000 gift were:- ]. P. Beeson, who
lives II miles east of town, who was
awarded $500. Miss Bonnie Smith, of
East Union, got $4,000 and Henry John
ston of Gum Grove carried off $2500
The crowds at the store when the a.
wards were made were so dense that
it was impossible for all to hear the
awards and word had to be passed a.
long especially to those inside the
store as to who had been the recipients
of the gold.
The store management as well as the
public were both pleased with the out
come of the sale, the store having pass
ed in sales the highest notch ever be-
fore in its history, even surprising that
Of last year when all previous records
were broken. 1t was believed at that
time that this record would not be sur
passed for some years, at least, and
the enormous sales of last week show
how the firm has quickly grown to still
greater popularity with attendant in
