How To Tell A Mall Order House Town.
Exchange.

Exchange.
Show us a town where the home
paper has little or no store news,
advertising the live wire business
houses, and we'll show you a mail
order town. People positively do
buy advertised goods. There is no
argument about that aud if some
dea ers dent advertise their goods
in an earnest aud intelligent way as
though they meant it, the people will
send a way for their merchandise.
Any store hat does any business
can do mor business by right adver-
tislng. Don't take it from us. but
study the advertising in the city pa
pers. That advertising has built the
cities. Do you get that?

Is Unfit To Associate With Decent

Senatobia Democrat.
The man or boy who will deliberate

ing is of a vicious type who should
be severely punished if the offense
is fastened on him. A person who

there it is done under the guise Of

from which comes the criminals Of

instinct and unfit to associate or
live in a community of decent people.

Several meetings have recently
been held in behalf of the Meridian.
Mobile Highway. The boosters
reach all the way from Meridian to
Mobile and are especially strong
about Waynesboro, Deer Park and
Chronicle. Passing through Vine
gar Bend recently we saw the frame
of a busy pile-driver over in the Dog
river swamp tapping down pllings
for that lap of the highway which
passes through Washington County
at that point Here's hoping that
such highway will secure all the
necessary cooperation all along the
line and that it will not only be built
all the way through but a system OF

One OF the most persistent pump
ers that we have seen for an enter
prise which will greatly rejuVenate
things in its county, is the Boone
vile Advocate in its efforts TO modld
sentiment sufficient to result in the
establishment of a creamery for
Prentiss county. here's hoping
that Bro. Galloway will succeed.
We have editorialized along that line
at Intervals through the past sever
al years hoping to drop a seed
thought that will stir our Greene
County farmers to organize for such
a greatly beneficial movement among
themselves and trust TO see the day
arrive when the situation will have
opened to installation of one if not
more good live creameries in our
borders, as they are great money
bringers. The world never grows
weary of butter aud it takes butter
fat to make it and somewhere ia the
adjacent country are COWS browsing
which produce the milk from which
is extracted the butter fat that feeds
the nearby city populations and why
not lick in and 'cipate in such
a market for something easily az
ranged for to produce.

ID BODIES ARE
FOUND IN RUINS

MAYFIELD, KY, June 27.-Mys-
terry continues to envelope the trag-
edy in the Lawrence farm home Sat
urday night when bodies of IL per-
sons, thought to have been slain,
were found practically incinerated in
the dwelling.
The fragments of the bodies were
placed in one coffin and inferred to-
day.
Sheriff Mccain and Coroner Mettit
reported they were unable to find
wounds that would determine wheth-
er the inmates were murdered before
being burned An axe and firearms
were found in the ruins.
Sheriff Mccain announced that he
had not changed his theory that Law
renee had developed fit of insanity
and i'm a frenzy had killed his wife,
their three children, and their guests,
Otis Drew, Mrs. Drew, her three chill
dren and Drew's brother, Delmar
Drew. The indications are. he said,
that Lawrence saturated the room IN
which the bodies were found with oil,
touched a match to il and killed him
self
Mrs. Lawrence and Mrs. Drew were
sisters.
One report had it that Lawrence
had been roughly handled by a po-
Iiceman in Mayfield some years ago
and that he had been struck on the
head. Since then. the story ran. Law
renee had suffered from an illness
periodically which had affected his
mind
Sheriff Mccain found it difficult to
believe that one man could have at
tackled 10 persons. at least three OF
them adults, without some of them
escaping.

DUBLIN, June 27.-(By the Asso-

was made by Sir James Craig. the
Ulster premier, that he must consult
with his cabinet before replying to
the invitation of Prime Minister
Lloyd George to a conference between
the leaders of the Irish factions, and
the government has directed attention
to the fact that four members OF Ea-

who are under sentences of penal
servitude, and Arthur Griffith, of the
Sim Fein, and Prof. John Mcneil
president of the Sim Fein. volunteers
who have been held since autumn
without charges being preferred
against them.
The opinion was expressed in higt
Sim Fein circles today that De Va
lera would request an opportunity tC
consult them and that should Sil
James Craig's cabinet consider a gen
eral meeting of the northern parlia
ment desirable, de Valera would max,
the same claim as regards the Dai
Eireann and ask for the release OF al
its imprisoned members.
De Valera's acceptance of LloyC
Georges invitation is regarded her,
as probable.

Grasshopper Army
Advance Halted By
Colorado Farmers

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. June
27.-The threatened invasion of Ell
Paso county by a grasshopper army
moving northwest from the southeast
ern corner is apparently averted. ac-
cording to j. c. Hale, county agent.
The grasshoppers descended on the
county Saturday night, and it was
only through the hardest sort of work
that the pest was stopped, according
to Hale, who declared that farmers in
the community worked day and night
in their efforts to head the grasshop-
pers.
Poison bran and arsenic was used
in the battle against the insects and
for two days the battle was in doubt
There were millions of grasshoppers
in the army, which extended over a
front of approximately 10 miles, Hale
declared.
