the standard in Lincoln County.
The conditions here are ideal for
cattle, poultry and hogs. Horses
and mules can be raised as cheaply
as possible and the demand for these
animals is almost unlimited as the
firm of VIM. Turnbough and Sons
Sales Stables, w. w. Henderson and
others can testify. Mules raised at
home are better adapted to local use
and bring better prices than those
raised elsewhere.
Our land is improved and small
farmers are needed who know how
to get the greatest returns from the
land they till. Intensive farming
and highly productive soil make a
combination ideal to the scientific

: DIXIE CREAMERY. :

The Dixie Creamery under the
management of Eugene Nalty, has
proved a successful business insti-
tuition and one which has brought
great benefit to the farmers of Lin
coin county, and consequently many
others.
The creameries enabled Lincoln
county and Brookhaven to withstand
cheerfully the financial depression
incident to reconstruction" and
the low price of cotton. They did
it in a manner which won the atten-
tion and admiration of communities
all over the state, and furnished
much material for an A. & M. Col
lege bulletin on dairying by Profess
sor Higgins.
The Dixie Creamery ships whole
milk and condensed milk to New Or
leans and manufactures large guam
titles of butter. The milk for ship
ping is purchased from producers
who live within radius of ten or
twelve miles, while cream for max
ing butter is purchased from dairy
men more remote, some as far away
as Kentwood, and Canton. This ar
rangement, it is said, enables those
who supply milk to receive better
price than those who supply butter
fat.
From $4,000 to $40, 900 per month
is paid the farmers who supply milk,
and butter fat,
A few months ago the Dixie
Creamery shipped the first carload of
condensed milk ever sent out of Mis-
sissippi to the Annheuser Busch Co..
in New Orleans. A carload of whole
milk and condensed milk is now ship
ped to New Orleans weekly.

Richmond high school basketball
FIVE seems to be the favorite team in
the district tournament to be held in
Richmond next Friday and Saturday
but the students and fans of the red
and white are looking forward with
great interest to the game to be played
at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, which
according 10 dope will be played be-
tween Richmond and Connersville.
This game promises to be the most
important game of the tourney as Con-
nersville and Richmond are picked TO
fight it ont for the championship of
this district, and. the winner of this
game will no doubt win the final game
crowd of the day and it is preducted
that the crowd will be lined up at the
doors long before they are opened.
Locals Given Edge.
Most of the dopsterS give Richmond
the edge to play in the finals but there
seems to be quite a difference in opin-
ion as to who will be their opponents.
The favorites seem to be Liberty, Fair
Jew and Hagerstown with Liberty
having a slight edge as they play a
more consistent game than the other
two teams and fight until the last
minute OF play.
Hagerstown quintet is husky
bunch of players and has good mater
ial for a winning team, but they do
not seem to use it to a good advant-
age and play very inconsi ent
game.
Strength Unknown.
Little is known of the strength Of
the Fairview five, but it is said to be
Il very strong FIVE and is capable of
putting up a stiff fight for the cham
pionship. They are coached by Tits
worth former Earlkam player, and
it is said he has done wonders with
the squad.
The Cambridge whitewater
game will no doubt attract much at
tention as both teams are evenly
to the finish. Neither team seems to
lave the advantage and each has vic
tories over the other, so it seems to
be g. pitch up to pick the winner.
Hard Fight.
The LibertyHagerStown game Fri.
| Gay morning should also attract much
| attention as the winner of this game
| is picked to be the winner of the first
! section and play in the final game
| Saturday night.
From the way the schedule has been
drawn il seems as if the important
games will be played earlier in the
meet, eliminating practically the best
teams and leaving q comparatively
weak team to play a strong team fol
| the finals.
| Coaches are to have their lineuns
+ in the official scorekeepers hands five
minutes before the time set for the
game to start
| An officials table will be set at the
west end of the Coliseum and at this
table there will be a place for the
! official score keeper and time-keeper
; q timer and scorer from each school
playing and place for the newspaper

table will be placed the benches for
the playing team and its coach.
At the west end of the Coliseum the
