JEFF DAVIS HIGHWAY
ASSOCIATION MEETS
President j. T. Thomas Calls
Meeting of Organization in
jackson

J. T. Thomas of Grenada president
of the jeff Davis Highway Association,
has issued call for meeting of the
association to be held in Jackson
April 18, 1922.
The convention will be held in the
Chamber of Commerce of Jackson.
A meeting of the association has
not been held for nearly two years
and there is quite a bit of important
business to attend to. The election
of officers is to be held and a number
of committees are to be appointed.
In speaking of the meeting, Presi-
dent Thomas said. 'Tt has been
thought advisable and notice is here
by given that the relocation of the
highway between Memphis and Gre
NADIA, Miss, will be considered. AS
it is now located. it seems that moth
ing has been done toward building
the highway at certain points and
through certain counties, and as the
prospect for this to be done in the
near future is not encouraging, it is
therefore thought best to bring the
matter up again and relocate the
highway between the two points
above named if the Association
thinks it the proper thing to do"
He also urges the attendance of
the Sons and Daughters of the Con-
federacy, who are especially invited
to attend the meeting and take part
in building and identifying the JEFF
Davis Highway.

WITTY EVEN IN DREAMLAND
Rev. Washington GLADDEN. Was Able
to Recall Humorous Response
He Made During Sleep.

Many Of US have dreamed Of writ
ing a poem, delivering a speech or
making a witty remark, that seemed
at the time wonderfully brilliant, but
that, recalled on waking, proved to be
either commonplace or wholly mean
ingless. That is not always the case,
however, as a story once told by the
Rev. Washington GLADDEN. proves.
He dreamed that the old house that
formerly stood near his church was
still there, and that old Mr.. Deshler,
who had been dead many years, still
lived in it. Doctor GLADDEN. also knew
that his old dog, George, who never
failed to bark at the minister when he
passed the house, still lived. In the
dream Doctor GLADDEN. was passing the
house when the door opened and the
old gentleman came out, followed by
George, who, as usual, rushed barking
up to Doctor GLADDEN..
Nov, now, George" said the old
man, you ought not to do that. You
know that's a friend Of ours; that's
Doctor GLADDEN."
"Oh! 1 have met George before, "
responded Doctor GLADDEN. in his
dream. "In fact George and I have
for some time had a bow-wowing &C
quaintance." -Milwaukee Sentinel.

People on North Main street were
surprised this morning by the pass

hitched to a wagon, which probably
belonged to a drayman. Starting at
the union depot, he galloped along
Main, deity missing the dummy po-
licemen at each corner intersection,
avoiding the automobiles and when
last seen was headed down the street
toward the Coast Line tracks at Fifth
street. The middle of the street was
quickly filled along the course with
admiring onlookers. A runaway horse
horse in this day of the horseless
vehicle is rarity, but what really

auto drivers could not-miss the dunn

TWAIN FOND or BILLIARDS
siographer Has Told How Great
Humorist Would Wear Out His
Companions at the Game.

November 30 is Mark Twain's birth
day. The beloved humorist would
have been eighty-six on that day in
1921, If he had lived. His biographer,
Albert Bigelow Paine, In writing Of
Marx Twain's passion for playing
billiards, a hobby which endured to
the last, comments upon his great
physical endurance and perpetual
youth.
81 was comparatively a young man,
and by no means an invalid" Mr.. Paine
writes, but many a time far in the
night, when / was ready to drop with
exhaustion, he was still as fresh and
buoyant and eager for the game as at
the moment of beginning. He smoked
and smoked continually, and followed
the endless track around the Billed
table with the light step Of youth. At
three or four O'Clock in the morning
he would urge just one more game,
and would taunt me for my weari-
ness.
Il can truthfully testify that never
until the last year Of his life did he
willingly lay down the billiard cue,
or show the least suggestion of ia
tigue. He played always at high pres
sure. Now and then. in periods of ad-
versity, he would fly into a perfect
passion with things in general. But
in the end, 1t was a sham battle, and
we went on playing as IL nothing had
happened only he was very gentle and
sweet, like the sun on the meadows
