Hartness fully endorsed the Salvation

LITTLE GIRL DIES.

The little girl, Grace Wright, who
was so badly burned while attending
school out near Burgess the early part
of the week, died last night at the
Oxford Hospital. She was frightfully
burned and little hope was held out
for her recovery from the start, al
though everything possible was done
to relieve the suffering.
Little Grace Wright was a bright
little girl, IL years of age. An account
Of the accident is given elsewhere in
this paper. The Eagle extends con-
dolence to the berieved parents. May
we indulge in the hope that the super
intendent of education Of this county
will, with the cooperation of the
people of the interior, use every sf-
fort to improve conditions in the rural
schools.
This incident is precious reminder
of the needs of better school facili-
ties in the rural districts, and now is
a good time to make the start to i'm
prove the conditions to make the lives
of our children safe while at school.

MRS. PRICE
TEST|F|ES
Throws Very Little Light On the
Murder Of Her Husband

Meridian, Miss, Jan. 18.-Mrs
Moody Price today made her first
statement to the coroner's jury in
vestigating the death of her husband
who was hacked to death with an axe
last Friday morning while lying IN
bed by her side.
Her statement added but little to
the one she made on regaining con-
sciousness from a blow dealt by one
of the two men she SAX in the room at
the time her husband was murdered,
Immediately after seeing the men,
who carried a flash-light, she said she
lost consciousness.
A closer investigation on visit OF
the coroner's jury to the Price home
today resulted in the discovery OF
bloodstains on the wall paper in the
bath room and the print of a hand on
a back door. The paper containing
the stains together with the axe with
which the murder was comitted were
sent to New Orleans tonight where
photographs of the finger prints will
be made. The coroner's jury adjourn
ed late today, subject to call.

CARD SHOWER.

Tae missionary society of the South
Street Presbyterian Church held its
regular monthly meeting at the home
of Mrs. Garner Owens, on Tuesday,
January 4, with a goodly attendance
of members and visitors. Aside from
the regular meeting, which proved an
interesting New Year and Praise
service, the friends, and members had
also gathered to give Mrs. Plant a
New Year card shower, of expression
Of love, good wishes, and deep regrets
of her leaving Oxford and our society.
A memory book" was also presented
her. To say Mrs. Plant will be miss
ed from our midst, but poorly express
es it. Always an active member, con-
tributing much to the uplift, financial,
and social features Of the society. We
hope in her Western home, she may
find many warm, kind friends, much
joy and prosperity.

new DORM|TORY
FOR UNIVERSITY
MONEY FOR NEW DORMITORY
is NOW AVAILABLE.
Material Being Purchased for Big
Dormitory At University. Work
To Begin In Early Summer
On Big Building.

News of the meeting of the Build
ing Committee or Bond Committee
which met in Jackson the early part of
this week and sold half million dol
lars worth of bonds for permanent
improvements at the various educa-
tional institutions of the state, will be
received with an unusual degree of
delight by our people, especially the
people of Oxford, as about quarter
of million dollars will be spent this
summer at the University.
1t will, no doubt, have a reviving
effect on oil lines of business in Ok
ford, as a very large pay roll will be
handed out to workmen every Satur-
day evening, large amount of which
will be spent with our merchants here.
Coming, as it does, at time when
money will be greatly needed in this
community, and when labor and ma
terial are at very low mark, our
people will be greatly benefited by
the money that will be spent in erect
ing the new building. Besides, it will
mean a greater future for Oxford, il
as much as the facilities for taking
care of from 200 to 400 more students
at the University will mean more
money for the town in the future.
1t would not be mistake, aow, for
the people who have been planning for
new buildings, both homes and busi
ness houses, to commence getting
their plans ready and their materials
together. There is no doubt but this
will be banner year for Oxford and
this community. The prospects grow
brighter each day, and we shall not
be surprised to wake up year from
this day to find that our population
is almos double what it is now.

The only hope Jessie Watts OF

The supreme court passed upon the
Watts case affirming the death SEN

agreed upon by all of the justices
No written opinion was prepared il
this case, Judge Holden stating in rem
dering the decision that the defense

this the jury was warranted.
Sensational Case.
The Watts case was very sensa

DR.. Alverson disappeared and several
days later was disinterred from .

defended on the theory that Alverso;
had performed a criminal operation
upon his wife and that so enragee

The case was tried in Claiborne

FREE FROM CITRUS CANKER
Citrus Disease No Longer in
Mississippi.

Agricultural, Miss, Jan. 17.-That
Mississippi has been entirely free
from citrus cancer for year and no
longer contains any known danger
center is the substance of the recently
issued December report Of the State
Plant Board on the citrus canker sit
uation in Mississippi.
The successful handling of the des-
tructive disease by the State Plant
Board in cooperation with the Fed
eral Bureau of Plant Industry is
shown by the statement that during
1916, 1917, and 1918, more than 1900
grove trees and over $4,000 nursery
trees were found infected and destroy
ed, the work being done so thorough
ly that not single infected grove
tree has been found in the past two
years. In the same time 121 farms,
groves, and nurseries were found in
fected, all of which have now been de-
clared no longer dangerous. With
this disease APPARENTLY eradicated, the
citrus industry in Mississippi is ex-
pected to make rapid progress.
Though believing the State to be en-
tirely free from canker, the Plant
Board will continue to search for any
infection which might exist in iso-
lated localities hitherto unknown to
the inspectors. Furthermore, there is
always the danger that canker may be
brought from other states where il
will be maintained.
