Mrs. Edward Linn

After an illness of ten days at
the home other father, DR.. C.
D. Davis, Mrs. Edward Linn
succumbed to pneumonia on the
l,morping Of Sunday, January
7th, 1923.
For several days she lay hover
ing between life and death and
all that could be, was done to
prolong this young life, but to
no avail.
Elizabeth Davis Linn was the
older daughter of DIR. and Mrs.
G. D. Davis and a bride of less
than thrde months. Her passing
awsy was indeed sad just as she
had passed from girlhood into
wifehood; her laYable, cherry
dispositions and pleasing per-
sonality had endeared her to
those who came in contact with
her daily, and in the heart of
the home she will be sadly miss
ed, for it was there she welded
a lasting influence for good.
She was unusually capable as a
homemaker and enjoyed doing
the little things that go to make
for happiness in every day life.
Funeral services were held at
TrebIoc Baptist church, conduct
ed by Rev. W. A. Sullivan, of
Okolona, assisted by the Rev.
DriskelI, Methodist pastor at
Buena Vista.
The remains were laid to rest
at the Trebloc cemetery beneath
beautiful flowers. tokens of
remembrance from the host of
friends and loved ones, who
sympathize with the bereaved.
Both parents. a sister, a
brother and wife, and the young
husband besides many friends,
are left to mourn Mrs. Linn.

w. |. HarreIl Passes Away

Many were the hearts that
were made sad when it was an
nounced Sunday morning that
Mr.. w. |. Harrill had passed
away. Uncle Dink'', as he
was familiary known, had work.
ed all day Saturday and out
until very late at night, as was
his custom. After the Saturday
trade was over, he went home,
seemingly in usual health, and
went to bed, taking pains not
to disturb his good wife, who
had already retired. Next morn
ing, when he did not arise as
usual, Mrs. Harrell went into his
room and found that he had
passed to the beyond several
hours before.
Uncle Dink" hae been a
familiar figure along Main street
for many years, where he
had worked as a salesman and
was known to and loved by
every man, woman and child.
He was one man of whom every
body spoke well. He was a
member of the Methodist church
and a Mason. He loved both
organizations and gave to them
his loyal support and whatever
time he had at his disposal.
Truly a good man is gone, and
the whole town are losers.

Pay Up Week Suggested
Dear Editor

Dear Editor
In view of the fact that we
are just entering into the activi-
ties of the new year, l am con :
strained to suggest to the citi-
zenship of Okolona that we start
with the. slogan Pay Up or
Adjust. +" Cooperation will mean
a great impetus to business
along all lines.
suggest that the week from
February 18th to 18th be desig-
mated as PAY Up Week" or
Cooperation Week." and that
during that week each one make
it a special point to pay up all
outstanding debts either in cash
or by note, or renewing old
notes, making partial payment.
and generally cleaning up out
standing obligations, and put
ting them on a mutually salts
factory business basis.
Let US have placards printed,
and widely distributed in show
windows, on automobiles, and
public places, calling attention
to Pay Up Week" Let Us
advertise the slogan. You pay
him, He'll pay me and I'll pay
you, and above all practice what
you preach.
If this meets with the approval
of the business man, let's have
a meeting and get it started.
Respectfully,
H. H. Kinney.

The Fertilizer Situation

Many have seen me relative to
fertilizer. All of the surplus
Sodium Nitrate that was ordered
last frll has been taken. | have
orders for several tons extra and
as soon as the orders that were
taken last fall are all checked
over there may be some little
from this order available. am
now investigating to see if we
can get an extra car and the
price.
AIIof those who ordered last
fall will be requested to inform
me or the Bank of Houston, who
signed the contract as security,
as to where they want their
order delivered. Some will de-
sire their fertilizer deliverd diff
ferent from their address.
Cards will be sent to each on
which to reply.
| am now taking orders for
Acid Phosphate. A good grade
is going to cost rs about $500
delivered. This is strictly whole
sale price as it is retailing
around $25.0O. A correct mix
ture of sodium nitrate and the
acid phosphate to use is one part
nitrate and two parts phosphate.
| would strongly advise those
who are using nitrate to use
some phosphate and to let me
have their order at once.
Farm Bureau
Last fall about one hundred
members were secured in the
the Farm Bureau drive. This is
the nucleus of an organization
that has meant millions to the
farmer. Personal notices will be
sent to all members in the next
several weeks calling a meeting
for the purpose of electing a
president, secretary, treasurer
and an executive committee.
1t is also planned to employ
marketing man and to rent
warehouse. The County Agent,
under his contract, is not allow

of the Farm Bureau after it is
organized.
A specialist from the State
Headquarters at jackson will be
with us to assist in the organiza-
ton work.

Up to the present time (Tues-
day afternoon) lao boys and
girls have been enrolled in the
Agricultural Clubs. This means
that already we have nearly
twice as many boys enrolled as
were enrolled last year and the

preciate the'co- operation Of the
teachers.
l am not going to be satisfied
this year until / get every able

Wall DOxey, of Holly Springs,
Announces for District
Attorney

In our announcement column
will be found the formal an
nouncemen Of Hon. Wall Doxey
as a cand; ate for district at
torney. We have never had the
pleasure of knowing Mr.. Doxey,
personally, but believe him to be
a good man for the place. In
making his announcement, his
home paper says:
1T is with peculiar pride that
we announce that Wall Doxey
has entered the race for district
attorney of the Third Judicial
District, comprising the counties
of Marshall, Benton, Lafayette.
Union, Tippah, Calhoun and
Chickasaw.
I'VE, Of Marshall county,
know him as a boy, a man. and
an official. He was born and
reared in our midst and is in
every sense a self-made man.
AS a mere school boy he dis
played the characteristics of
devotion to duty, prompted by
energy, ability and lofty efforts
inspired by high ideals.
After graduating at the
Holly Springs High School as
First Honor Man Of his class,
he entered the University Of
Mississippi, and by his own
efforts supported himself and
worked his way through that in
stitution and graduated with
high honors in the literary DO
partment in 1918 and from the
law department in 1914. He
completed six year course OF
study in five years with honor to
himself and credit to the institu-
ton. He was active in all
phases of college life and pos
sessed the confidence and respect
of his fellow students and the
members of the faculty, as evil
denced by the many positions Of
honor and trust held by him.
Wall was not only president of
both his law and literary classes,
and also several societies, but he
represented the University at
the State Oratorical Contest and
won several medals. While at
the University he managed sue
cessfully the largest and most
widely circulated college paper
edited in the South.
Receiving both his A. B. and
LII. B. degrees, he began the
practice of his chosen profession
in his home town. In the
primary of 1915 he was elected
County Prosecuting Attorney
over strong opposition, by a
handsome majority. In 1919 ne
presented himself for reelection
and was elected without op-
position. His record as a man,
a lawyer and an official speaks
for itself. We know we bespeak
the sentiments of those who
know him and who have come
in contact with him, when we
say that Wall Doxey has made
one of the best County Attor-
ney's in the State of Mississippi.
He is always ION the job. He
is considered as a worth foe and
a most valuable colleague.
He is a lawyer of marked
ability, a young man Of high
ideals, active in the affairs of
both State and church. Has the
courage of his convictions and
deals fairly and squarly with his
fellowman. Studies his profes-
sion and discharges his duties
with an eye single to justice to
all, special privileges 70 none.
"fIe is well equipped by
ability. training and experience
to make a most excellent Dis
trict Attorney and the voters Of
this district will make no mistake
in electing Wall Doxey District
