$4,000 Damages

A verdict of 5000 damage wa,
awarded Ollie Pickett, son of J. A
Pickett, former citizen of Mon
roe county, in a suit against the
M & 0. r r. Co. by a jury in the
Lee county circuit court at Tupelo
last week.
The suit grew out of the follow
ing incident: About a year ago
Ollie Pickett was crossing the rail-
road tracks at Tupelo in an auto
mobile, after night, when a NJ. d o.
freight train. without any warning
and going at rapid rate of speed
crashed into the automobile and
pushed it down the track and hurl-
ed it into switch stand, complete
ly demolishing the automobile and
switch stand Pickett was car
ried with the car and was pinned
under it until he was rescued by
some nearby people. His suffering
was intense and his hip was dis
located, which his physician says
will follow him during life.
It is said the verdict met with
the unanimous approval of every
one who heard the trial and was
familiar with the facts.
The numerous friends of the fam.
lily in this county, while deploring
the tragedy of the accident, are
gratified at the result of the suit

the progressive farmers of the coun.

The appropriation for this pur-

high and the tax rate is just little

100 Families
Here to Need
Aid On Xmas

A careful survey Of Salem re-
veals the fact that approximately
100 needy families in the city will
deserve the attention OF Salem
good fellows this year, according
to Captain Robert Hancock, who
is in charge of the local Salvation
Army post.
This number is slightly in ex-
cess of that Of last year" Captain
Hancock said. Last Christmas
many families whose members
were without work had some mon
ey which had been saved during
more prosperous times. These saw
ings are now largely diminished.
And the children of these families
must have some kind of Christ
mas"
Last year the people Of Salem
donated approximately $1100 for
charitable work to be done
through the Salvation Army. This
year the army workers hope to get
as much or more than last season.
Army kettles, in which the pass
erby may toss coin if he chooses,
will be placed ON the downtown
streets early next week, Captain
Hancock said.

Ship Rudely
Ends SIeeb
Of Whales

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. Ito
sleep we'll, sleep on the ocean.
The whales do, and sleep well
after sunrise sometimes.
Captain f. J. Holland, of the
Pacific mail liner Cuba, thinks a
sea traffic officer should be placed
on duty off Point Arguello. He
hates to have to bump whales
from the midst of their fairyland
of dreams with his ship in order
to clear a passage from San Fran
cisco to Los Angeles.
Captain Holland, on visit to
Los Angeles harbor, told a story
of how he rang the breakfast bell
for seven husky whales in the Pa
cific ocean.
They were big fellows, ranging
from sixty to ninety feet in length.
The seven whales were "snooz-
ing" peacefully on top of the wat
er as the Cuba bore down upon
them. The captain said he dldn I
hear them snoaring, but he knew
they were sleeping, because when
whales sleep they ride high in the
water.
Evidently, however, one whale
was afflicted with insomnia, for
as the vessel drew near he shook
himself into action and proceeded
to pour water on the others.
Aroused from their slumbers un-
der the rays of the early morning
sun, the seven whales scampered
away, frothing the water with
their rushes and seeming to be pro-
testing against the rude steamship
that had So suddenly broken their
heauty mans.
