MISS BIRKHEAD HAS
BADFLU IN MEMPHIS
Attorney Says She Got 1t
While Getting Evidence
In Rain.

Memphis, Tenn, March 17.-Miss
Frances Birkhead, who filed suit for
100000 damages against Governor
Lee M. Russell, on various charges
is seriously ill with influenza at a
local hotel, according to Thomas R.
Foster, her attorney. A physician
was called to attend Miss Birkhead
at midnight and her condition is
reported as serious early today.
Miss Birkhead, while comforting
with prospective witnesses in her
prospective suit against Governor
Russell spent all day Tuesday walk
ing about the city in heavy rain,
and contracted a severe cold, Mr..
Foster said. She refused treatment
for this he continued, and insisted
on completing the work which
brought her to Memphis. Last night
her condition became worse, and a
physician who was called in at mid
night pronounced her illness Sc
we're attack of influenza. In view OF
her poor health and nervous condit-
ion, Mr.. Foster says he fears that heI
illness may be protracted.

McGrath Makes improvements in
Their Household Department.

John McGrath & Sons have lust
completed remodeling, painting and
decorating the Household Depart
ment on the second floor, and the
department now covers more floor
space than any establishment of the

stock of furniture, rugs, shades,
glassware, and other household ne
cessities have been received. The
prices are attractively low. You
Will find in this department the

The Victrola Department has been
consolidated with the Furniture De-

BROOKHAVEN STARTS
ON BASEBALL SEASON
Meeting Organized Last Night
Is A Preliminary to 'Play
BalI' Order.

While not as largely attended as
was expected by some, the Brookha-
ven baseball meeting held last night
at the city hall was none the less en-
thusiastic by those present and par
ticipating. 1t assured a team with
support for the coming season, altho
there is much yet to be done for COM
plete organization, both as to Off
GERS, players and funds to finance the
club for the season to come.
In all events a good start was
made which will grow with enthus-
iasm and ardor as the spring season
opens. -
From past experience for years it
seems that a certain spirit of Let
George do it" has pervaded among
some of the most ardent devotees of
the game in Brookhaven and it then
fell upon few Of the most self-sac-
rificing and public-spirited patrons of
the sport to go ahead with the games
with all the details as well as finan-
cial difficulties that are always in
volved to get together team that is
deemed sufficient in strength to pro-
perly represent Brookhaven. Some
of these non-attendants at meetings
are the most vociferous knockers"
when play has commenced when they
had ample opportunity to be heard
and passed it by.
Mr.. ]. w. McGrath was elected
temporary chairman of last nights
meeting and Russell .Ellzey, secre-
tary. The report of the secretary
showed a very poor showing for last
years collections for the, amount of
stock subscribed. He reported only
60 per cent of the stock subscribed
as being actually paid In.
On a motion to call for solicita-
tions from those present for the new
season with a value of $500 per
shore, the following responded and
agreed to pay the amounts set op-
posite their names:-

A committee, by motion to see
those not present and raise more
funds is composed of F. Panzica, P.
L. Farrell and w. o. Mayfeld with
auxiliary members of C. B. Perkins,
E. B. Guess and R. C. Applewhite.
A suggestion seeming to meet
with popular favor from expressions
afterwards stated is that at the next
meeting, Friday, March oath, at 1880
p. M, there will be general ballot
without nominations on officers and
directors who will control the club
this summer.

STORM DOES MUCH
DAMAGE AT CORINTH
25 Are Injured-Five May Die
-15O Homes are Ruined
in Path of TwiSter.

Corinth, Miss, March 14.-Twen-
ty-five persons were injured, five of
whom may die, and a swath a hun
dred feet wide through the south
western part of the city was cut by
a tornado which struck here shortly
after noon today, leveling more than
$50 homes in it's path.
Wire communication south of Cor
inth was cut off and it is feared that
the list of injured and property dam
age will be largely increased by re-
ports from outlying sections of this
and surrounding counties.
The injured who are not expected
to recover are: Farmer F. Anderson,
cashier of a bank, whose skull was
fractured by flying timber; ]. B,
Weeks, a Mrs. Grady, Will Gillen
and Will Spears, superintendent of
an oil mill, all of whom were hurt
when their homes collapsed.
The tornado struck without warn
ing, the storm moving in north
westerly direction, leveling homes,
telegraph poles and trees in its
path. More than $50 homes inside the
city limits are in ruins and many
others are damaged.
Nearby settlements also report
heavy storm damage and number
of injured have already been brought
in to the hospital here. The home
of Henry Grove, half mile from
Corinth, was demolished and his
wife Mrs. Elsie Grove, was caught in
the ruins and probably fatally in
jured. His two little children were
less seriously hurt and will recover.
Hardly a building of any kind is
left standing in the path of the
storm. The tornado passed within
two hundred feet of the Central
School building here where almost
1000 pupils were gathered. This
building was injured. The buildings
are about equally divided between
the homes of the white people in the
better part of town and negro cabins
in the outskirts. Almost all the in
jured, however, are whites.
Relief measures were promptly
taken by the citizens and arrange
ments made to furnish all sufferers
with food and shelter.

CROWDS MAKE MERRY
AT THE SPRING OPENINGS
Brilliant Events Usher in New Sea-
son-Throngs Enjoy Many
Courtesies.

The spaciousness of the building
garlands and displays of lovely appar-
ell at McGrath's Style Show and For
NAL Opening Thursday. Music was
furnished by the Ed Stiles orches-
ira throughout the day, and in the
Grocery Department was served
luncheon from 10 till that COM
prised coffee and tea, and biscuits
and bacon tidbits, and samples of
other good things to eat in the line
of pickles, hams, salads, etc. We
declined to take the time off for din
ner and just refreshed ourselves at
the bounteous spread in the store. AS
always the crowd was as thick as
the space could accommodate all the
day long.
But the very best thing of many
good ones was the parade of models
and vaudeville offerings in the af-
ternoon. Morning frocks, and sport
costumes afternoon dresses and sty-
lish capes, and coats, and bags and
other perquisites were displayed on
the graceful paraders. Every other
number was by way of entertain
ment of lighter vein and all the
talent was home grown. Miss Alice
DeSola did an aesthetic dance per-
sonifying spring. Accompanying her
was Miss Poole with a vocal select
ion. Ellen Johnson typified the dash
ing leader of jazz-y band; Gene
We've Storm lived the picture of
sweet belle of old fashioned days;
Evelyn Becker, though she sang of
the Faded Rose, looked for all the
world like a fresh rosebud just
plucked; Marie McGrath was an en-
trancing Indian maiden.
The millinery department came in
for special notice and toasting when
the four little midinettes with their
knickerbocker hat boxes, displayed
their wares and at the same time
sang of the excellence Of that par
ticular line.
The days of planning and the long
hours spent in execution Of the pret-
ty picture we're we'll repaid by the
pleasure of the many visitors and the
kind words of commendation spoken
in every department.
The models were: Mines. Blake. OBJ
erschmidt, Becker, McGrath, Hart
man; Misses Gladys Maxwell, Park
man, Irma Greer, Josie Frizell, Ruby
Summers, Leroy Byrd, Marguerite
Brown.
Miss Edith Guess as aecompanist
for the vaudeville numbers interpre-
ted each differing sentiment with a
true musicians sympathy.

Milton Drury Has En-
ployed McComb LAWYER

Milton Drury, who is in the Co.
piah Jail on charge of numbering
his own mother, Ada Drury Converse
has employed e. G.. Williams, a well
known attorney Of McComb, to de-
fend him.
Drury still maintains a policy of
silence. So far as known, he has no
intention of asking for preliminary
hearing, and the case will probably
come up first at the May term of
court. Judge Miller has under con-
sideration plan to call the term a
week earlier than set by law, in or
der to give this noted case the right
Of way.
While not talking, Drury goes so
far as to say that he can establish
a complete alibi. Sheriff Ramsey Is
also rightly pursuing a course of
silence, and 1t is known that he has
evidence in reserve which has never
been made public.
