At all times Hoppe kept the worries rolling freely, too freely in fact, for good and true balkline. His runs were medly of a little bit of every thing from .cratch to a few, a very few counts at nursing. Even so, his runs were 122, 109 and S6. The average was B 1914. Cont had the misfortune to fail to get the balls out of balk in two of his best runs. His showing was poor and he went into the discard by his defeat. Contis average was 15 S-13 and his runs 75; 47 and 3o. On his showing tonight the possibility of triple tie, Hoppe Schaefer and Horemans loom as the outcome of the tourna- ment

MRS. BLAKENEY DIED
YESTERDAY MORNING
One OF the Most Respected Women
Of Monroe passes Away With
out Apparent Suffering

Mrs. Sallie Blakeney died at her
home on Washington street early
yesterday morning. She had not been
real well but no alarm was felt about
her. Late the evening before her
daughter had been to her room to in
quire how she was feeling before re-
tlring and was assured by her moth
er that she was all right. About
seven o'clock next morning her son,
Mr.. Frank Blakeney, went to her
room to make her morning fire and
discovered that she had died peace
fully but few minutes before.
The funeral services were held from
the residence at eleven o'clock this
morning by DIR. Weaver of Central
Methodist church, of which Mrs.
Blakeney was a member, and the in
terment was in the Monroe cemetery.
The funeral was largely attended by
friends from Anson as well as from
Monroe and the floral offerings were
many and beautiful
Mrs. Blakeney is survived by three
children, Mrs. May Meacham and Mr..
Frank Blakeney, who made their
home with her, and Mr. Bennett
Blakeney of Spruce Pine, also by two
grandsons, and two nieces and neph-
ew, Mrs. V. ID. Skies, Mrs. E. s.
Greene, and DR.. Bennett Gaddy, to
all of whom she was very dear. Her
husband, Mr.. j. c. Blakeney, died
several years ago.
The deceased was a member of the
prominent Bennett family Of Anson
county and was educated at Anson-
vile College. Mr.. Blakeney, who was
native of Chesterfield county, ran
mercantile business in Arson and
there they were married, moving to
Monroe in 1873. They purchased and
occupied the house on Washington
street in which they both died. Mr..
Blakeney was engaged in merchan-
dising in Monroe many ears.
Mrs. Blakeney was most lovable
woman. She was loved because she
loved others. On the most intimate
terms with all her neighbors, no one
of them ever heard her utter an un-
kind word about any person. She
kept her mind fresh and bright as in
youth and took an interest in every
body about her, especially the young
and her old friends. She always took
the youthful view of life and was as
cheerful and happy and thoughtful
in old age as in youth. Two or three
weeks ago she attended the Union
service at the Lutheran church at
night and greeted and noticed her
friends and acquaintance as happily
as could be.

Social Notes From Waveland.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Cyrilie
Bourgeois was the scene of many
pleasurable "informals" last week, IN
compliment to their house guest, Miss
Louise Wombocher, and their daugh-
ter, Cecile. Needless to say, the af-
fair was a royal success. Mrs Cyrlile
Bourgeois, the charming hostess, was
assisted by the Misses Alma and
Beatrice Bourgeois and Thelma Zim-
norman.
Through the kind generosity of
Mr.. and Mrs. Cyrille Bourgeois a
number of young ladies Of Waveland
enjoyed a truck ride all through the
neighboring towns. A most enjoyable
picnic was also an interesting feature
of the week.
Waveland has its usual large quota
of summer guests this season. There
are many social activities, almost
without number, and the resort,
nearest to New Orleans" of all the
larger Gulf Coast places, is we'll hold

MISSISSIPPI AIDS HER PORTS.

The Mobile Daily Register, ever a
friend of the Mississippi Gulf Coast,
unfailingly refers to our successes
whenever the opportunity presents
itself. The latest is an editorial,
which appeared in it's columns Thurs
day, the title calling attention to the
fact that Mississippi Aids Her Ports.
1t is noticeable that the State Of
Mississippi is wide awake to the
value of ports, and is using State,
county and municipal money to in
stall facilities at those ports, being
persuaded that the more facilities on
the water front, the more benefits IN
the way of enlarged opportunities ac-
crue to the people of the State.
Mississippi is not nearly as rich
State as Alabama, being entirely
agricultural, but the initial appro-
priation by the State is $4,000,
county and city of Gulfport SO, 900;
this will be duplicated January l by
more money to the same amount. The
federal government is expend1ng
100000 on the harbor.
There has been an educational
awakening on the part Of the people
as to the value of ports and their ef-
feet upon the prosperity of State
or section. The effect of this is seen
in Mississippis work of creating bet
ter opportunities. Not only is Gulf
port harbor being improved, but those
of Biloxi and Pascagoula as well.
Mississippi also appreciates the
value of the Warrior barge line. A
part of the money to be spent in pro-
viding facilities for "a channel from
the north end of the anchorage basin
OF the new city wharf will be dredg-
ed. The purpose of this work is to
allow Warrior river barges to enter
the port, thereby establishing Gulf
port as a regular call port for these
barges,' the dispatch says.

Mrs. Elizabeth Mccall passed
away at her home in Gulfport, Miss,
Wednesday afternoon, after an Ill
ness extending over a duration OF
several months. At one time resi-
dent of this section, for the past
twenty years she had resided at Gulf
port and it was her expressed wish
that when death came she would be
laid away in Bay st. Louis.
Although she had no immediate
relatives at the time of her death,
those who were near kin saw that her
wish was carried out. Accordingly,
on Thursday morning the remains
were conveyed to Bay ST. Louis and
reposed all during the day until the
funeral hour at the First Methodist
Church. The funeral was largely at
tended and interment was held at
Cedar Rest Cemetery.
Although IT years of age, Mrs. Nc
Call was a remarkable woman, active
up to the time of her illness, and had
always led an interesting life. She
was the wife of the late Capt. Mccall,
who for twenty years was the gov
ernment keeper of both lights at Cat
Island and Ship Island. He spent
most Of the twenty years on the
islands and Mrs. Mccall was always
with him. She wrote a book of her
life and of the history and incidents
of the Mississippi Gulf Coast which Is
we'll worthy of perusal.
Her close surviving kin are the
children of her brother, Wash Dud-
lev, residing away. By marriage she
was distantly related to the family
of Mr.. Howard Sylvester, of Bay 81
Louis. Recently the New Orleans
Times-Picayune devoted a page IN
one of it's Sunday issues to this re-
markable woman.

1t deals with distinguished Missis-
sippians of all classes, editors, law
yers, minister's, statesmen, soldiers,
politicians and public men generally.
It is interspersed with human-in-

anecdotes, mother-wit and flashes of
humor.

optimistic; not dry line in the book.

WITH THE BAY ST. LOUIS BOYS AT
CAMP WILLIAMSON, VICKSBURG.

and Tuesday First Lieutenant Arce-
neaux was officer of the day; Ser
geant Alphonse Favre, officer of the
guard, with Corporals O'Neal, Capde-
pom and Sylvester, corporals of the
guard, with twelve privates who
walked post. These guards were on
duty for twenty-four hours and each
individual was actively ON duty for
two hours with four hours for rest,
when the same hours were repeated.
This guard had the honor of being
the first guard in camp to officially
lower the colofs at retreat.
The boys are all getting along fine,
are in high spirits and are rapidly be-
ing made into real soldiers. Chief
Cook Geo. Heitzman, assisted by
Henry Motion, under the supervision
of Mess Sergeant Burgeois, is giving
the boys chow that is received with
enthusiasm three times daily. In
fact, with all the pep" that is exhib-
tied by the Howitzer Company for
the routine duties of camp, the mess
call seems to arouse more than any
other duty.
The Howitzer Company was made

Captain; and that every officer in the
camps were instructed to come down
and look our tents over.
