CLEAN UP WEEK

Gov. Russell recently issued pro-
clamation calling upon the state to OBJ
serve a week IN April as -clean up"
week. Port Gibson observed clean
up period just prior to the governors
proclamation, but other parts Of the
county, possibly, have not yet OBJ
served the clean up" period. County
Health Officer Chapman suggests that
each part Of the county have a general
cleaning up next week Destroy all
places where flies and mosquitoes might
breed, and clear the premises of all
useless rubbish In this way there
will not only be removed large a.
mount Of danger Of disease, but prop
erty owners viii find that they take
more interest in their homes after
they have put them in proper order.

ably,
1t will be remembered that at the
meeting above referred to, Mr.. Frank
H. Reid gave a very optimistic talk
relative to conversations he had with
Mr.. Mitchell, and considerable inter-
est in the proposition was shown by
those present. The president Of tie
Association, Judge Gage, appointed a
committee to write TO Mr. Mitchell
telling him Of this interest and invit-
ing him to come to Port Gibson and
discuss the matter with the business
men Of the place. This committee was
composed Of B. G. Humphreys, ]. M.
Magruder and H. H. Crisler, President
Gage being added.
The letter was written, and Mr.
Mitchell replied that he would eonsid-
er the matter and that the committee
would hear further from him. How
ever, the telegram announcing his de-
cision is all that the committee has
received.
LATER Since the above was put
in type, letter has been received
from Mr.. Mitchell fully explaining
why he could not consider the matter
at this time, but indicating that he is
still interested.

HAZLEHURST TRUCK
GROWERS PROSPER

Hazlehurst, Miss, April 17.-Sum
ming up the crop situation among the
truckers and vegetables shippers last
week, it may be said that it was sue
cessful from all viewpoints, particu-
larly on the kinds shipped. Peas have
been holding their profitable prices Of
SLIGO to S2.25 per hamper on the
streets, while they are selling for a.
round $3.50 in the markets North, and
in New Orleans.
Cabbage has began to move in car
load lots, about three weeks ahead of
last year. The price on this vegetable
has been barely enough to pay ex-
penses Of production, as it is bring
ing only $l.50 per crate Of 100 pounds
here now to the farmers.
The tomato outlook is favorable al
though the frosts Of the early part Of
the week bit some Of the plants bad
ly, and in isolated cases the planter
was forced to plow his field under be-
cause the frost killed the plants out
right. Price Ainsworth and other
early planters who take big chances
with the cold weather say their to-
matoes were not hurt. Ainsworth has
tomatoes two inches in diameter, and
will be shipping by May 10 unless un-
foreseen things, such as frosts or hail
kill his crop. Ordinarily tomatoes do
not go forward from here until about
June /, but this year will see them be-
ing shipped by May 10, about three
weeks ahead Of the usual season.
Carrots and beets are soon to 90
forward in large lots, and are worth
around SO per hamper, profitable
price,
The Hazlehurst Truckers Assoeia-
tion is handing the products Of 200
farmers, among whom are some Of the
largest truckers Of the Hazlehurst dis
trict for ten miles east or west or
south, and five miles north.

TORNADOES KILL
HUNDRED PEOPLE
Swept Six Southern States Friday and
Saturday, Destroying Millions Of
Dollars Worth Of Property.

This section, while experiencing too
much rain the latter part Of last week,
was exceedingly fortunate, in that il
escaped the terrible destruction Of life
and property which resulted from the
cyclones in various sections Of this
and other southern states at the same
time.
The northern part Of Mississippi and
five other southern states were the
sufferers, and about a-hundred people
lost their lives and millions Of dollars
worth Of property was destroyed The
other states to suffer because Of the
storms were Texas, Arkansas, Ala
bama and Georgia.
The losses in this vicinity were
caused by swollen streams, though
there was considerable hail in some
parts Of Claiborne county. These
losses, however, are insignificant, COM
pared with the destruction wrought
even in this state.
