COPIAH FARMERS PREPARING
FOR EXTRA BIG TRUCK CROP
Wesson is Expectant of Prosperous
Year and Increased Yield
What They are Doing.

Wesson, Miss.-As Christmas ap-
proaches there is every evidence in
Wesson of good cheer and happiness
and the next year promises to be a
very successful one for the people in
this section. Truck farmers are pre-
pairing for another bumper crop of
vegetables which they will have on
the market by the middle of June.
A large acreage will be planted in
cabbage. Many truckers have alrea-
dy planted their cabbage beds so as
to have plants for an early crop. The
cabbage acreage this year was not
large. Tomato ground is being plow-
cd and put in order for the freezes
to help purify the soil. Besides a
large acreage in cabbage, tomatoes,
beans, carrots and other truck much
land will be planted in cotton and
the corn acreage will be increased.
This community is already pros
pering from the dairying. Many
farmers have large herds of young
heifers coming on to take the place
of the older milk cows, and are pros
pering from milk fed hogs and chick
ems.
Eggs are retailing for 35 cents a
dozen and there is a ready sale for
all the eggs. In nearly all homes
enough meat and lard has been put
away to do the family next season
and they have considerable surplus
to sell.

Bogalusa Mayor to Wed.

Announcement was made Tuesday
that the marriage of Miss Ella Sal
men to Major w. H. Sullivan of Bo-
galusa, will be solemnized at the
home of the bride on Friday, January
II, 1922. Their engagement was
announced some time ago, and Slidell
citizens have keenly awaited the
date of the wedding. The marriage
will unite two of the leading fami-
lies of the state, for there has been
no one man who has done so much
for the development of Louisiana
than Mr.. Sullivan, who, besides being
Mayor of Bogalusa, and the only one
that thriving city has ever had, is
also the general manager of the
Great Southern Lumber Company,
the largest lumber manufacturing
concern in the world. Miss Salmen,
one of Slidell's most charming young
ladies, is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fritz Salmen, and numbers her
friends throughout the state by the

JURY DISCHARGED
IN $IO0,OO0.OO CASE
Hopeless Disagreement Is An
nounced After Three Days /
Deliberation.

Crystal Springs, Miss. Nov. 29.-
The 100000 damage suit brought
by w. T.. Ellis against James Taylor
and several other citizens here alleg-
ing humiliation and intimidation
which went to the jury Saturday af-
ternoon after being in the District
Court for three days, closed Monday
night when Judge Miller discharged
the jury after 1t had announced that
it had disagreed hopelessly and there
was no chance for verdict. The
jury had deliberated since Saturday.
This means that the case will go ov-
er until the next term of court be-
fore another hearing.
This is companion case to a suit
for $4,000 brought by Mrs. Lillian
Millsaps against w. T. Ellis wherein
slander is alleged. The latter case is
set for trial next Monday. AS a re-
suit of the two suits, indictments
have been returned against a num-
Der of citizens charging them with
"whitecapping" and the combina-
tions of suits and prosecutions have
stirred Crystal Springs.
Indictments have been returned by
the grand jury against Sharp Ware,
two Burney boys, Jess Willard, Paul
Jones and Joe Sellman, charging.
burglary and robbery. These young
men were arrested several days ago
by Marshal Murphy and Special
Agent Myers of the Illinois Central
Railroad after affidavits were sworn
charging them with a number Of
thefts from freight cars and after a
large quantity of the loot had been
found hidden near Damascus church.
The young men were arraigned in the
court Monday afternoon. Soon there
after bonds were arranged and the
cases were set for Friday.
The testimony for W. T. Ellis in
the case of w. T. Ellis VS.. R. A. Nc
Pherson. ct al for 100000 damages
for alleged illtreatment at the hands
of crowd of men Of Crystal Springs
was substantially that Ellis and his
wife had rented a house to a family
in Crystal Springs and that certain
men tried to make the family move,
claiming they were not of the right
kind to live in the town.
He had found nothing wrong with
the family and therefore had not
moved them out as requested. His
failure 10 move them caused some of
the men, among them the defend
ants, to treat him roughly and they
finally took hold of him and notwith-
standing his denials of having made
any Ill remarks about Mrs. Lillian
Millsaps, he was subjected to embar-
RAISING treatment and forced to get
on his knees and apologize to her. He
stoutly denied the charges to the
crowd all along, He claimed that
pistols were freely in evidence and
that he was very much frightened.
He charged the mayor, marshal
and special policemen of the town
with having been a party to the
Rough treatment.
