So the bunny rabbit started off
on the woodland path with Billie
the goat, and, almost before they
knew it, an adventure happened.
All of a sudden, out from be-
hind bush, jumped the bad old
Skillery Scallery Alligator and he
caught Uncle Wiggily in one paw,
and he caught Billie in his other
paw, and he pulled them into his
cave, which was not far away.
Il have you now!" gurgled the
Gator.
Yes, It does seem So" sadly
said Uncle Wiggily. What are you
going to do with us?"
Perhaps he will be kind enough
to let us CO." said Billie, hopeful

humps on his tail. II have you

"Oh, dear" sighed the bunny

suddenly exclaimed Billie, and,
leaning over, he whispered in the
ear of the Alligator.
ouch! Stop that!" suddenly
cried the bad chap, squirming
around on the end of his tail.

"Your whiskers tickled mel"
said the Gator, who could hardly
keep from laughing out loud. And
he we'll knew that would never do.
For once he began laughing he
couldn't stop. And II he laughed
too hard he would tangle himself
up into a double knot, and then
Uncle Wiggily and Billie could get
away.

the Gator, land l didn't hear what

To The Governor Of Mississippi
and the Safe board Of Par
dons:
We, the undersigned citizens
of Chickasaw county, Missis-
sippi most respectfully show
to you that at the April term
1921, OF the Circuit Court for
First Judicial District OF Chick
asaw County, Mississippi, one
Leonard Doss was convicted on
a q large of illicit oistilling and
was by the court sentenced to
serve a term of three years in
the state penitentiary. We do
not believe that he was guilty
of said charge but that he
was simply a victim of circum-
stances. We do not believe
that he had any interest at all
in the still that was captured
and the proof showed that he
had been at the still only few
minutes when the officers cap
tured same. We are satisfied
that his only purpose in being
at the still was for the purpose
of getting some whiskey for his
own use. We do not believe
that he should suffer the pen
atty imposed upon him. We
therefore most earnestly ask
you to grant him a full and
complete par6on.
Respectfully submitted.

PEACE NOW RE|GNS
 IN FAIRFIELD CITY

Police authorities and city officials of Fairfield now believe that conditions brought about as the result of the attack upon the jail at Fairfield Tuesday night arc now settled and taht there will bs no further trouble
 It also became known yesterday that the police of Fairfield have accounted for all but one of the members of the at tacking party who, last Tuesday night. attempted to get negro prisoner from the jail resulting in the death of one and the wounding of police officer.
 The following resolutions as drawn up yesterday by the city council of Fairfield, are plain statement of the situation:
 Whereas reports omanating from Fair field as the result of attempt to release a negro from jail have indicated that a great feeling of unrest exists between the races; and in many instances reports of race riots or near race riots have been circulated and
 Whereas it is the desire of the city council of the city of Fairfield to cor rect any transformation which may have gained circulation and to assure citizens of the return to normal conditions in the city of Fairfield; therefore
 Be it resolved by the city council of the city of Fairfield in special meeting assembled that the people of Fairfield be assured that conditions are again en- tirely normal and are being handled Tn the usual way by the regular police force of this city, and to further assure the people that all of those, with the exception of one, connected directly or indirectly with the affair of Tuesday night have been apprehended and bound over to the grand jury, and that every effort will be made as in the past to apprehend all violators of the law and deal justly in every case; and
 Be 1t further resolved that the council express to the chief of police and all members of the police department their appreciation for the admirable way in which the matter has been handled, and
 Be it further resolved that the council express to Sheriff Hartsfield and his deputies their appreciation for the prompt response to the call Tuesday night and for the efficient service rendered, and
 Be it further resolved that citizens and others be commended for the patriotic way in which they assisted in maintain ing order and bringing about normal con- ditions, and
 Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be spread upon the min utes of the meeting of the city council of the city of Fairfield and that copies be sent to the press and given to the people through such other agencies as may be deemed practical. (SigneO-
