Hon. Luther L. Tyler Elected Police
Justice of City of Picayune.

Picayune,M iss., Oct. 26. - The
town of Picayune is a municipal cor
poration of the past, as a city of
Picayune was officially proclaimed
at asmeeting of the mayor and board
of aldermen.
The federal census of 1921 show
ed Picayune to be a city under the
classification Of cities, towns and viii
lagos as designated by the laws of
this state. but the municipal au-
thorities failed to certify this fact
to the governor until the October
meeting Of the mayor and board Cf
aldermen.
Governor Russell Immediately is
sued his proclamation placing Plea
yune in the city class and appointed
the present mayor and board of al
dermen to fill the same places in the
city government that they were fill
ing as town officials until their sue
,cessors are elected and qualified at
an election to be held in December.
The new officials will retain all pres
ent employees until the first of Janu-
airy, 1929.
The board created the Office cf
police justice and L. L. Tyler was
elected as the first police justice of
the city.
A Democratic primary was held
several weeks ago to nominate can
didates for mayor, aldermen, mar
shall and other town offices, and as
this primary election was held in
good faith and as nomination by
this party has always been equiva-
lent to an election in this state, sew
eral complications have arisen be-
cause of the change from town to
city government.

Two of a Kind.

Today the old soldiers of the Con-
federates from the state of Missis-
sippi are meeting in their annual re-
union in the city of Jackson. At
the same time in the city of New Or
leans, the young soldiers of the world
war are holding their fourth annual
convention.
When the bugle call of 1850 was
sounded, these old vets responded
with willing hearts and anxious
hands and for four long and bloody
years followed the varying fortunes
of Lee, of Jackson, of the Johnsons,
of Longstreet, Hill and Chalmers,
Featherston, Lowry, Barksdale, Van
Dorm and other Mississippi leaders,
lighting the battles of the South and
enduring hardships unspeakable. I'm
til worn out by hunger and devasta-
ted by disease and bullets, they were
forced to lay down their arms to SUI
perior numbers, defeated but not
conquered, and today, though few
in number, they are the same proud,
gallant army that won a glorious
victory on many battlefield and left
a record of which any country may
be proud.
More than half century after
wards, the sons and grandsons of
the old vets answered again the call
to war and travelled 5000 miles to
meet foreign foe that had threaten
ed civilization and outraged human
ity. How they acquitted themselves
is recorded in unfading history De-
feating the proud and trained. sol
diers of the War Lord of Germany,
they returned to their country, pro-
claimed heroes by the whole world,
though they left many of their brave
comrades on the fields of France
sleeping the sleep that knows no
waking.
Both these vets, the old and the
young, have earned the right to cell
ebrate, and both cities are according
them welcome of deep appreciation.
They are entitled to the best there
is, and they should receive it with
out stint. In days of their country's
need they proved as true as the nee
die is to the pole, and after grim
visaged war had passed, they
returned to their firesides Just as
willing and anxious to fight the bat
ties Of peace as they were to offer
as sacrifice to the God Of War:
In the Confederate Veterans and
the American Legion the people of
the nation see verification of the
assertion that like begets like. His
tory has awarded to the Confederate
Veteran the proud distinction of be-
ing the best soldier the world ever
saw. and those who followed in their
footsteps half century afterwards,
proved worthy sons of noble sires.
All honor to them both.-Clarion-
Ledger.

A Tribute to ]. W. McGrath.

While I read the telegram an
nouncing the death of J. w. Nc
Grath with sorrow and regret, the
news it conveyed caused no surprise,
for I knew that Will McGrath had
been seriously i'll in New Orleans all
summer, having had a nervous
breakdown at his home town of
Brookhaven, where he was born and
reared.
1 have loved few men as / have
loved Will McGrath, whom 1 have
known for forty-seven years, since
he was boy in his teens. He was
the son of John McGrath, and when
his father retired from the service
of the Illinois Central and establish
ed mercantile house in Brookha-
ven, Will went from the school room
into his fathers store, managed and
directed by the elder brother, II. j.
McGrath.
On the death of his brother Tom,
Will became the managing head of
the establishment, which he conduct
ed with consummate skill and great
ability for some As years, till it
became one of the strongest, best
and most reliable stores in the state.
for the name of McGrath has long
been a synonym for honesty, integ-
rity and square dealing.
For years Will McGrath has been
recognized as the foremost citizen of
Brookhaven, its leader in civic en-
terprises, business matters and pub
lie affairs, in Industrial development
and in all movements calculated to
improve his town, section and coun-
try.
He was never a follower, but al
ways leader. Whenever an organi-
zation was suggested for the better
ment of his home, state, or country,
the name of Will McGrath was the
first to be mentioned to head the
movement. The people of his COM
munity looked to him to organize
and lead it's drives in peace and war
and he never disappointed them. He
led them to success.
Win McGrath possessed a charm
ing and striking personality. His
manner was genial and cheerful,
true index of his honest heart and
pure soul. He will be missed in his
home and throughout the state,
where he had an extensive acquain-
tance among the leading and most
progressive citizens of Mississippi,
When such man as Will McGrath
passes away, there is cause for gen.
uine regret, for they are few and far
between, and we have none to spare
His body was laid to rest in Me-
tairie cemetery. in New Orleans
at his own request. His wife has
made the Crescent City her home fol

PAINTERS" DEFEAT
MAGNOLIA HIGH
BrOokhaven Lads Bring Home
Big End of $50 Score in
Yesterdays Battle.

A large and enthusiastic attend
ance-mostly from Brookhaven--
watched Coach Nevins' "Panthers"
humble the Magnolia High School
eleven on the Magnolia field yester-
day by score Of Is to O. Had not
Referee Andrews selected opportune
moments to penalize the "Panthers'
the score would have been more than
doubled. Andrews prevented at least
two touchdowns by imposing penal
ties totaling SIS yards.
Swain, big Panther" fullback,
covered himself with glory like a
horse blanket in yesterdays battle.
He not only kept UP his marvellous
passing; but tore through the heavy
Magnolia line for repeated gains, or
opened holes for other runners to
ramble through. Captain Herman
Smith was also in the limelight at all
stages of the game. Captain Smiths
fifty yard run after receiving a beau
tiful pass from Swain, was as neat
a feat in open field running .as one
could hope to see. Swain made the
next touchdown by leaping inter
ception of an attempted forward
pass. This play was SO unexpected
that the Magnolia bunch were left
non-plussed. Not a Magnolia player
made an attempt to catch Swain as
he raced down the field fifty-fve
yards for a touchdown.
The last touchdown was also
spectacular play. With fifteen yards
to go, and third down, Swain held
the ball till two Magnolia players
were reaching up to knock it from
his hand, then calmly and with
great precision he shot the sphere
into the ready hands of c. Smith, ten
yards back of the goal line.
More than two hundred from
Brookhaven were on hand to aid
Cheer Leader Taylor and his band
of noisy rooters in the singing, yell
ing, clapping and shouting.
The officials were:- Andrews, ref
cree; Johnson, Umpire; Hobbs, Head
Linesman; Jeter, Official Timer.
