HARRINGTON COULDN'T COME

Mr.. J. P. Harrington, Travelling
Engineer on the Tennessee Division
of the I. C. Railroad was unable to
attend the big Shop Celebration Pic
mic held here on Oct. 5. Mr.. Har-
rington has many friends among the
"shop boys" of the I. c., and he was
heartily disappointed at the last min
ute when he was called away and
couldn't attend. Mr.. VIM. Rufffn, a
longtime friend of Mr.. Harrington,
has been busy explaining to the Wa
ter Valley "boys" why his friend
couldn't come.
Mr.. Renzo Sykes, General Foreman
of the Jackson, Tenn. shops had
planned on coming with Mr.. Har-
rington, and later his friend dis
appointed him, so he came on alone
Mr.. Sykes says it was one of the fin
est picnics he ever attended, and
that his friend Harrington surely
missed a great time.

officers Temple, Whitehead, Harts-
field, and Collins composed the raid
ing party, the two former being fed
eral officers.
It is claimed by the officers that
Williams resisted arrest and that it
was necessary to shoot him. Denton,
Thweatt and Wells stated to a rep
resentative of the Eagle shortly af-
ter they had been lockd up, that Will
liams was a disinterested party to
the illicit distilling; that he (Wil-
liams) had called by the still to see
his brother-in-law, Carl Denton, when
the still was approached by the Of
fcers. These boys deny that either
one of the four had gun of any de-
scription.
Officer Collins stated to a repre-
sentative of the Eagle that Williams
did have a gun. All of this will
come out in the courts, it is said
The remains of Williams were
brought to Oxford by the o. Fl.
, Douglas & Co., undertakers, and pre-
pared for burial, and later in the
evening delivered to Williams wife.

of Memphis, to make an investiga-
tion of the deplorable affair.
The final outcome will be watched
with much interest.

BOLD BURGLARS
OPERATING HERE

Wednesday night a burglar en-
tered the sleeping room of Mr.. Joe
Randall, the American Express Agent
at this place, and went through his
clothing after valuables. Mr.. Ran
dali awakened and asked his unwel-
come visitor "what he wanted. The
fellow didn't reply but made hasty
exit, taking with him 35c in change
that was in Mr.. Randall's pocket.
The mahrauder escaped without dis
closing his identity.
This makes the fourth burglary
committed in the city within the past
few weeks. Parties entered the Me-
Nabb and Vaughn homes and carried
away some loot. A few nights later
neighbors saw man enter the home
of Mrs. Sam Hirsch on North Main
street. While the neighbors were
searching about the house looking
for the burglar, the fellow coolly
came out through a window and
walked away. All the description
the neighbors could give of the fell
was that he was ''well dressed" in a
dark suit and wore a soft hat. They
were unable to say whether he So
cured any loot or not.
The burglaries are going to keep
ON until someone will be stopped
with load of buckshot.

Showing that "Black Friday"
meant nothing in their young lives
but a chance to even up old scores,
Water Valley, on Oct. 13, took the
measure of Oxford by the safe score
of 1910. Starting with the first
shrill notes of the referees whistle,
Johnson's men, with the old fighting
spirit that turns many defeats into
victories, began their march to the
first grid victory of the season. In
the first half, Williamson made
touchdown; a try for goal was un-
successful, and the end of the half
found Water Valley leading 60.
This half was marked by Oxford's
fumbles and Water Valleys unsuc-
cessful end-runs.
Seeing that end-runs were wasted,
"The Plow," starting the second half,
began to hammer the Oxford line
and forced them back to what seemed
a sure touchdown, but a miscue gave
Oxford the ball on her thirty yard
line. Later a brilliant play by Will
hanson put Water Valley in a po-
sition to score-Johnson taking the
ball past the coveted goal posts. A
try for goal availed nothing. The
last few minutes of play saw the in
PRODUCTION of several trick plays
which never failed to gain for "The
Plow". Robinson, on a trick end
run, ripped off some ten or fifteen
yards, followed later by Gean, who
by an end-run carried the bali within
three yards of the goal. Here Wa
ter Valley had another excellent
chance to score, but the game was
over before the next play could be
made.
The backfeld played consistent
game but the credit for the victory
should go to the linemen, who, time
after time, by timely tackling,
stopped some Oxford runner in his
tracks or by sheer force opened wide
the opposing line for a backheld
mans plunge. The line as a whole
played stellar ball, with shade of
credit going to Jones, Gean and Pass.
A fair sized crowd of peoplc turned
out to see "The Plow' IN action and
they were not in the least disap-
pointed with the result, being amply
repaid for their faith in Coach law
kins and Cap'n johnson. Il is ey-
pccted that the next home game
especially the enc against G ets1A.
will attract much larger audience
and perhaps much larger score.
The sale Of season tickets were
better than expected and will ma
terially help the team meet the COM
ing expenses. The next few home
games will likely find the introduce
ton of new admittance price for
grammar gade pupils-this has been
taken into consideration and the re-
suit will be known later.

SCHOOL NEWS
Dental Campaign on. In
spection of Teeth
Next Week.

n cream mOutH LOT every cHllu III
the public school is the aim of the
teachers and pupils in the dental
campaign. The teachers are giving
instructions regarding the Importance
of having and keeping a clean mouth.
Charts showing the evil effects Of
neglected are being used.
There is nothing filthier than
unclean mouth. When a meal is
finished, if the teeth are not thor
oughly brushed and the mouth
cleansed, there ere innumerable par
ticles of food left between the teeth
and at the base of each tooth, next
to the gums, and Immediately each
little particle is attacked by myriads
of bacteria. The warmth and mois-
ture of the mouth furnish these lit
tie organisms an ideal climate for
multiplying so that when it is time
for another meal, instead of the
comparatively few germs there at the
close of the last meal, there are mil
lions of germs ready to be dislodged
and swallowed with our food. There
is also, instead of the particles of
clean, wholesome food that were left
there, a mixture Of decomposed or
ganic matter, the poison thrown off
by the bacteria and saliva. The very
thought of putting such a mixture
into the mouth is most nauseating,
and yet many of US go on eating
this kind of mixture three times a
day.
, 1t is this same sort of decomposi-
ton of organic matter that results
in the decaying of teeth. Dental
authorities have agreed that clean
tooth does not decay. The school
wants to emphasize the instruction
given on the care of the teeth and
the Importance of keeping the mouth
clean. The dentists have agreed to
come to the schools and inspect the
teeth of the pupils without charge.
Pupils will be given a-slip which will
show whether or not their teeth need
attention. We hope that every
child will be benefited by this cam
paign and that the Water Valley
School children will have good clean
mouths with teeth in good condi-
ton, as result of the campaign.
Let US not forget that the entire
child goes to school-body, soul and
mind, any system of education which
ignores one or the other of these
factors will be to the disadvantage
of the child.
The teachers and pupils of the
North End School are very happy
over the addition of several swings
to their playground, the gift of the
committee in charge of the recent
Railroad picnic. The kiddies need
some see-saws to make their JOY COM
plete. They are praising the shop
men for remembering them by giving
the swings.
The girls and boys of the high
school department are boasting of
one hundred brand new song books,
recently given by the Parent-teacher
Association, and under Miss Cornia's
leadership they make the "Old Hall"
ring to the tune of their joyful mu-
sic.

ing to your house to stay;
