WHEN BLANTON's RANTIN'.

It's calm up I'm the House,
With mighty little stirring,
Not even q Congressional mouse.
All at once the devil breaks out.
Everybody stops and listens,
And then you hear a shout:
you're AR" In accents loud;
you're a damed liar"
Hears the Congressional crowd.
A voice speaks up: Its Just
BlantOn,
The Texas dove Of peace,
Having his little daily rantin'.
And BlantOn Is sure to rant
To talk to hear himself
He can't stop it-HE CAN'T.
HEXAGON HENRY.

AT HIRSHMAN'S

They arc having great price-cut-
ting sale at the Hrshman store that
will continue for the rest Of Novem-
Der. The extreme deliberatcness with
which King Winter has come, the
balmy days continuing late into the
fall season, has made the sale of bed
coverings very slow OF course win
ter is bound to come at date not
very far distant, and the Hirshman
store offers bed coverings at prices
you cannot afford to let pass.
However, the sale is not confined to
bed coverings. There are many other
beautiful and useful articles in the
sale, as you will see from the advcr-
tisement of the Hirshman store in the
Dispatch of last Wednesday. This
justly popular bargain emporium is
noted for its excellent goods and for
the fairness of its prices.

LEE Hi MIRROR
MAKES ITS BOW
Handsome YOungster Appears
AT School House Thursday
And Is Warmly Welcomed.

Columbus is becoming a great pub
fishing center Our city now has two
semi-weekly newspapers, one weekly
and one semi-monthly.
The Dispatch, the oldest Of the peri
odicals, has been published since 1879.
The Commercial, next oldest, has been
here for twonty-scyen years. The
Spectator, the splendid weekly publ
cation of NJ. S. c. W., is now in its
seventeenth year All are good pa
pers, and Columbus is proud of them
all
Now comes the Lee Hi Mirror the
first copy of which made its appear
ance on last Thursday. Because Of
the beauty of its appearance, the in
tercsting contents, and on account of
the institution that gave it birth, The
Mirror foud instant favor in Column
bus.
The Mirror is a four-paCe, five
column paper 1t is ably edited, and
the advertising patronage is fine 1t
will for the present be issued twice
each month, but if it be deemed ex-
pedient later on, it will appear weekly.
The Mirror is, we think, the fore-run-
ner of an interesting and highly
creditable Annual, which, when

Mr.. Lide's Concert
Is Greatly Enjoyed

I All the folks the large auditorium
Of the stephen y. Lee High Schoo
could hold were there on Friday night
to enjoy Mr. Lides Edison Concert,
We say "Mr. Lide's Concert" but
Mr., Lidc did not produce any Of the
music. However the poplar score
tary Of the Kwanis Club produced
he musicians that produced the
music and to him the peoples thanks
are due.
The coacert was free. No person
was asked to pay cent to hear it.
Primarily, it was given to advertise
"The Edison" but it was the smooth
est piece Of indirect advertising we
have even seen In fact, after faif
demonstration Of the intrinsic excel
lencc of TIC Edison as a tone re-
producer, the machines were pushed
to the rear Of the stage aad the pre-
gram was continued with music AMI
readings Independent of the tone re-
producer.
The work of Miss Elizabeth Spencer,
in her music and readings, was of the
very highest class. Miss Spencer is
4 lady Of charming personality, with
a bright and pleasing smile that wor
her way into the hearts of all whc
heard her She sang as naturally a.
a loving mother sings over her baby
in the home, and whether she sang a
classical selection or "Silver Threads
Among the Gold" it was given with
soul and a peculiarly tender melody
that stirred the sentimentalism of her
hearers.
Mr. Emil Bert, the piano player,
also did fine work and added greatly
to the pleasure of the audience. Mr.,
Bertl's selections we're OF a high or
der and were executed with the
technique Of an artist.
From the first number of the pro-
gram to the last, there was nothing
that would subject the concert to ad
verse criticism. 1t was clean, elevat
ing, inspiring and delightful.
As the girls would say at the Mis-
sssip2i State College for Women:
Here's to Mr.. Lide; bless his heart,
bless his heart"

TRUE TO THE PARTY

Blue Mountain, Miss, Nov. ia
Tippah citizen travelling in Pontotoc
County it is reported, had the fol-

ing a rural lady for a drink of water.
Riding up to the cottage door and
asking for a drink, he was RECALLED
with the following conversation:
"Vardaman," shouted the obliging
housewife, run to the spring and
fetch this gentleman some water"
I'm busy, ma" answered the son,
make Bilbo bring the water"
well, I'm busy, too" Bilbo pro-
tested 'T'm trying to rock Lee Rus

DOCTOR LIpsCOMB,s POEM

Elsewhere in this issue of the Dis
patch will be found a highly inter-
esting and enjoyable poem, written by
Doctor James W. Lipscomb in com
pliment to his boyhood friend, the
Rev Ira M. Boswell, d. d., of George
town, Ky. If Doctor Lipscomb were
as good a poet as he is physician
and as successful at writing verses
as he is at discharging his duties as a
citizen, he would be in the Tennyson
class. However, a careful reading Of
the poem shows Enthusiastically the
poetic instinct" and the sentiment
is very lofty. A friend Of Browning
once read a poem by that gifted poet
and asked him to explain what. he
meant by a certain passage therein
contained Browning read the pas
sage and replied, "When | wrote that,
God new what ! meant, and | know
what | meant. Now ! have forgotten,
and God alone knows"
1t is not thus with Doctor Lips
combs poem. 1t is easy to under
stand all he means, for his senti-
ments are expressed in language that
is clear, expressive and from the
heart.

MEMPHIS PAPERS DELAYED

Old Friends

Old friends drop in from time

give tongue, and talk about the
far-off cline wherein we dwelled
when we were young. 1t al
ways shocks me when I meet
some friend I knew in days gone
by, who used to walk on buoy
ant feet, and who was eager,
strong and spry. For we re-
member old time friends as we
last saw them, years ago, for
getting how times passage

Foster Prigg came feebly hob
bling to my lair; once he was
strong and bold and big, and fit
to whip a grizzly bear. And he
excelled in. manly games, un-
tired he roamed the woodland
ways; and thus | always
thought of James, the hero of
my younger days. And now he's
bent and weak and i'll, his voice
cackle, shrill and drear, and
when he has to climb a hill he
always shifts to second gear. I
showed amazement as | stood
and watched him creaking to
my door; was this the hero who
withstood the greensward cham
pions of yore? "Great Scott, "
he cried, "can this, be you, who

And now your girth obstructs
the view, your piebald' whiskers
are sight" We walked old

DROP OF 35 PER
CENT DUE IN THE
PRICE OF CLOTHING

Clothing prices are due for drop
prices which have prevailed during
the past year, is the statement made
by Sam Newman, member of the firm
of Newman and Company. who recent
ly returned from a trip to the east
ern markets. Monte Dillingham;, also
a member of the firm, accompanied
Mr. Newman, and during the two
weeks which the trip consumed, the
men visited Kansas City, St. Louis,
Milwaukee, and Chicago.
Mr.. Newman states thar the whole
sale houses are swamped with cloth
ing made up Of the cheap materials
which were used TO great extent
during the war, and that yhey are
exercising greatest efforts to rid
themselves of H.. There is little de-
mand by the merchants for clothing
of such materials. Suits of better
quality are scarce and difficult to
obtain.
Luggage is reduced 25 to 35 per
cent, and is of good quality.
Shirts present themselves on the
market in the same manner as cloth
ing. That is, there is plenty of the
cheap material and little of the bet
ter quality. The prices of shirts show
a decrease of 40 per cent.
No change is noticeable in the price
OF hats, and shoes are showing a
tendency to rise.
All indications are that the consum-
er will be the person who will profit
by these cuts in the prices of cloth
ing, shirts etc, due to the fact that
the manufacturers have on hand goods
which were made during the period
OF high wages and which cost them
more TO manufacture than they are
selling them for today. Goods which
the retailers purchase in The present
markets will not bring them any loss
es, but the retail merchants will lose
considerably on the goods which they
have on hand from past purchases.
For they will be forced to mark these
goods down so as to compare with the
present price, which. as has been
stated before. Is a marked percentage
less than the old price. One of the
leading merchants of this city, who
has already commenced marking down
his goods, states that he will consider
himself fortunate il he covers expen-
ses during the present year. This
merchant Is optimistic concerning the
future. but states that either labor
will have to become cheaper, or else
prices will have to mount again.
