INDEBTEDNESS
TO Be PAID SOON

General Secretary Moore of the To-
cal Y. M. C. A. has announced thai
the association plans to liquidate its
indebtedness this coming fall.
The board Of directors was in con
ference a few days ago with one OF
the international secretaries of the fl
nancial bureau who will be employed
to come to Pensacola and assist in
putting on a campaign to pay off the
bonded indebtedness of the associa-
ton and raise an amount sufficient
to make needed repairs on the build
mig.
The present building was opened
in 1905, and has been in continuous
use since, with little or no money ex-
pended on general repairs and i'm
provements. The interest item has
amounted to a considerable sum and
the board feels that with the elimin-
alton of debts and with proper re-
pairs and improvements made, more
efficient work can be accomplished.
The board was unanimous in the
desire to clean up the old debts and
they feel that they will receive the
hearty corporation Of the community
at large in this project.

No Decision In The
Drainage Conference

The conference of representatives
from Yazoo, Holmes, Humphreys and
Leflore counties held at the court
house in this city yesterday to dis
cuss the drainage district proposition
of the Delta counties north of Green
wood, adjourned without reaching any
definite conclusion in the matter.
Should the upper counties carry out
their plans for drainage and dump the
overflow waters from that section on
the southern tier of counties, it would
prove disastrous to the farming inter-
ests thereof, and it behooves the peo-
pie Of this section to inaugurate some
substantial means of protection.
The question is one Of vital import
ances to every property owner in the
four counties named above, and they
cannot afford to delay action in the
matter Of being prepared to protect
their interests.

Gov. Bowen On Program
The Community Sing

Gov. Bowen, the noted minstrel
man, who has been in our city for the
past week, arranging the theatrical
production for the American Legion,
which is to take place Monday night
is going to contribute a number to the
program of the Community Sing at
the Memorial Building Sunday after
noon. Just what Mr.. Bowen's offering
for the occasion will be, is not known
but it will be in accord with the spirit
of the affair; and judging by his re-
putation as an entertainer, something
original, interesting and attractive
can be expected. The fact that he is
to appear, ought to be quite an added
factor to the Sunday Sing.
The cool weather of the last few
days has made the management deem
it wise to announce the Sing will be
held at the Memorial Building again
Sunday and the out-of-door meetings
deferred to q later date

HOME OF MEANS
JOHNSTON BURNS
Story and Half Dwelling In North
Greenwood Completely DESTROYED
With Portion OF Contents.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Means
Johnston on River Front, in North
Greenwood was completely destroyed
by fire last night at o'clock. The
blaze originated from defective flue
and started between the walls. The
citizens in North Greenwood have no
fire protection and it was impossible
to save the dwelling.
A portion of the furniture was saw
ed and the piano was rescued from the
flames. The family's clothing was in
the upper story ana il was practically
all destroyed. The residence and
household furniture were insured for
$500, which will only partially COW
er the loss.
The blaze had gained great head
way before it was discovered. Mrs.
Johnston was in the house and when
she discovered the fire, the whole of
one side of the roof was in flames.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. R. A.
Joiner, west Of the Johnston home
was endangered by the fire and if it
had not been for prompt work of the
firemen and volunteers, who worked
with buckets and garden hose, it
would probably have at least been
partially destroyed. The windows
were broken out by the heat and the
walls blistered.
The fire department went to the
scene of the fire, but the blaze had
too much a start to save the house by
the use of the chemical extinguishers.
They were kept in readiness however,
and if the Joiner house had caught,
they would have been used.
