 The court finds no fraud or mistake in connection with the issuance Of the policy, which would justify the court reforming it. He finds the place was not occupied at the time the policy was written, and the visits of the plaintiff and members of her family to the farm did not constitute occupancy Of the house and barn within the meaning of the policy

Seeks to Make Arrest;
Dies Near Crystal Springs

Crystal Springs, Mss. May &c.
B. Willard, who has served this COM
munity for the past six years as con-
stable, dropped dead Saturday. Mr..
Willard had Just left his office in an
automobile. answering call to make
an arrest In the lower part of town.
He took his son, Charlie Willard,
Deputy Sheriff Newt Hall, and Town
Marshal j. C. Tillman with him as
he expected trouble with the man he
had been called to take into custody
He had got out of the car and with
Officer Hall was skirting a little ra-
vine In order to take his prisoner
by surprise when officer Hall heard
him exclaim and saw him fall to the
ground. Mr.. Willard was So years
old. He came here from Fairfield,
Tex, and bought farm engaging
in the vegetable business. He was
subsequently elected constable.
The vacancy in. the cohstable's Of
flee caused by the sudden death of
Mr.. Willard wi1l necessitate the or
dering of an election for his success
sor which will afford the women of
this district the first opportunity to
exercise their recently acquired fran
chise. There are registered in town
1S5 women, but very few of those
living out of town have registered so
far. That the women may get taste
of politics, the election commission
ers will be asked to name women as
managers and clerks of the election.

Traffic Stop North on
Good Roads Imminent

A heavy truck, owned by the Gulf
Refining Co., Of this city went thru
q bridge on the east Wesson road
last Friday near Furr's mill, falling
about nine feet. The driver was un-
injured at the time Of the accident,
but it was deemed impossible by
some that the truck was finally ex-
tricated Saturday from the deep wa
ter it had gotten into and the sur
rounding banks that enveloped it.
A narrow path and very bad even in
good weather has been made around
this wrecked bridge.
Another bridge on the west Wes-
son road, just out Of Wesson, is all
but down, and it is only matter of
days before some vehicle is crossing
will go down several feet and then
hit water that is six feet deep. 1t
is possible that some one may be in
jured by the fall. The approaches
to this bridge are all but impossible
also.
A speedy repair at both points
is a neecssity-otherwise 1t will ne
cessitate the travel Of many miles
over bad roads" in order to reach
our sister town, IL reached at all.
Both the East Wesson road and
the West Wesson road have beer
damaged greatly by the recent hoods
and rain storms, but the East Wes-
sen road seems to have suffered the
most. This, no doubt, was the re-
suit. of the hilly section in which
the road is located.
