CRYSTAL SPRINGS IS
THREATENED BY FIRE
Three Buildings Burn in Midnight
Blaze-PhOne Office Gutted-
Meteor Plant Destroyed.

Crystal Springs. Miss, Aug. r.
A disastrous fire and one which Tor
while threatened the entire bust
ness district of the town occurred
here Thursday night when three
buildings on Georgetown street own
ed by S. H. Ably, the venerable edl-
tor of the Meteor, the towns local
newspaper, were destroyed by fire
and the building occupied by the
Cumberland Telephone Company was
completely gutted.
The alarm of fire was turned in
at 2 o'clock when Night Watchman
Barron, making his rounds, discov-
cred FIRE in the meat market owned
by Wade Frasier. The fire depart
ment responded promptly but too
late to save the market. The fire
ate its way through the market and
into and through the grocery store
of Adolphus Evans, and into the
building occupied by The Meteor and
On to the telephone building. All
business buildings we're completely
destroyed except the telephone build
ing and that was burned beyond hope
of repair.
fTdSlSIs OWuiH6 lAO AAOoS ttAe%A ~ :,
Evans, owning the grocery store,
Jack Barlow, owning a pop stand
and The Meteor lost everything.
Barlow, Evans, and Frasier had no
insurance and The Meteor had cnly
$500. The service given by the pow
'er plant was magnificent, the best
kind of water service being given
Eand that alone is what saved Tie en-
tire business block.
When the flames reached the brick
buildings awned by w. B. Lockwood,
the big stream was very short time
in putting 1t out.
The files of The Meteor for forty
years back were destroyed. The
town was cut off from telephone SER
vice until late into the day Friday.
The loss of Mr.. Ably, editor of The
Meteor, is very heavy. The frame
buildings occupied prominent loca-
tions in the business district and
these will be replaced by modern
brick buildings.

It takes exactly six beds to
accommodate the children of a
couple who took the advice of
our late Colonel. One bottle of
Sweet Dreams makes its night

From this we learn that it
doesn't take a bottle for each

Just pass it on.

New Business Places SoOn--In-
vestment Shows Faith in
BrOOkhaven's Future.

Every visitor to Brookhaven is no
ting the extensive building going on
around the First National Bank
building that stands on the corner
of e. Cherokee and e. Railroad Ave-
nue.. DR.. w. T. Bolton, of Biloxi, is
showing his faith in our city's fu-
ture. Otherwise, he would not be
putting his good money into such ex-
tensiye investments around the cor
ner," both ways, of the First Ma
tional.
1t will be interesting here to note
that some years ago DR.. Bolton mar
ried a Brookhaven girl-an ideal
school teacher of that time-whC
was member for years of the pub
lie school faculty when the present
school building was only vision ol
things yet to be and that now are
Mrs. Bolton was step-daughter ol
the late Mr.. Will Hoskins and hel
mother was one of the ideal women
of the old South. But be that as il
may.
Numbers are asking for informa.
ton as to who will occupy the new
buildings. Mr.. A. I. Morton, lately
connected with T. G. Barge and 10
cal property owner, will open as soor
as it is completed, the big store that
will have entrances on two streets
Railroad Avenue and East Cherokee
Mr.. Morton is now in New York buy
ing an entirely new stock prepara
tory to the large business he expects
/ to do.
Fielder Mullens, formerly of Liber
ty, will occupy the business Tstant
now occupied by Hayes Bros, fur
ther north on Railroad Ave-, while
Hayes Bros, whose business has beer
on large scale since they first came
to Brookhayen several years ago
have become so -cramped for space t
take care of the demands made upoT
them. will lease part OF the new
Bolton business property addition
Plans are being laid by DR.. Bol
ton and l.. j. Laird, which If com
pleted will result in big garage
building being built just east of the
new buildings on East Cherokee st
This will replace the old Hoskinl
residence site, where DIR. Bolton die
his counting in the sos and will re
move landmark Of Brookhaven re
plete with interesting reminiscenc'
Of its early history.
The Leader is pleased to state alst
that the First National has been al
most entirely renovated and refur
bished adding much to the appear
ance and convenience Of the build

That report from Nebraska that
the Non Partisan League has decid-
ed to sell it's fiivvers and cease organ
izing unless somebody wants to go
out and work on commission Is
only another indication Of the down
ward path Of that discredited organ
ization. When 1t tried to come into
Kansas the Reflector branded 1t as Il
scheme to get the money of the
farmers who were willing to give
to wandering band of organizers
$1S apiece. We were criticised for
1t by some very good farmer friends
but time has shown the truth of the
matter. North Dakota has repudi-
ated the League; it's head, Townley,
has just served term in Jail for dis
loyalty during the war; the whole
concern is in bad OdOr. 1t has never
at any time done one thing for the
farmer except to make his lot harder
in North Dakota and to get his money
there and elsewhere. In Nebraska a
high priced organizer was paid $5,-

refused to put up the soft jobs failed

MOVING TO SMALL FARMS2

There was "a significant movement
Of farm population from Kansas on
the farm lands of Missouri ana
Arka nsas during. the past year. This
il disclosed by a statement just
issued by a farm land agency cover
ing it's business In Kansas in l02l.
This report shows that 5S Kansas
families purchased farm homes III
other states through one agency.
most Of the Kansas men who went
into other states to cultivate the soil
showed a preference for the farms
Of Missouri, for 20 moved to that
state. Arkansas ran second In favor,
attracting 81 farm families from
Kansas. Florida was third In the
list with 3 farms sold to Kansas men
while 2 went to Pennsylvania, to
Ohio and one each to New YORK,
New Jersey, Maryland. Michigan ana
Oklahoma. The significance Of this
movement lies in the active demand
for small or general farms growing
diversified crops. as contrasted with
big farms producing only one crop.
The millions of small farmers grow
ing a variety Of products and selling
them to nearby markets may be In
much more comfortable position than
the big One-crOp farmers who have
suffered most seriously firm the defa-
ton of prices for farm products
since the war.
