DRIVER RUNS AMUCK

John c. IIornus owns an automobile.
He also performs what he doubtless
terms "driving" it. What John needs
or rather what the public badly needs,
is night school course for John in
development of the sense of direction.
His peculiar tactics in handling the
vehicle have been commented upon be-
fore and offers have been made to back
Hornus for first prize in any contest
to determine the poorest driver on the
continent To keep up his reputation
he plowed through three inoffensive
motor vehicles standing quietly at the
curb at Kadow's meat market on
Washington street last Saturday. He
tore through car belonging to Rob
ert Stefyater, crashed into the car of
Doctor Shaw and then threw a motor
cycle up onto the sidewalk There be-
ing on other obstacles handy he went
careening on his way. The Shaw car
jammed another car into a telephone
post and smashed that one up consid-
crably too.
The Hornus outfit didn't come out
of the fracas in any too good shape
and it shed all its gasoline before it
had gone far. All the automobiles had
occupants but, although there was n
terrifying shaking up, no body was
seriously hurt There is a moral to the
llornus performance, but Wisconsin
has not seen fit to act up this oft re-
peated hint, as have other enlightened
commonwealth.
Anybody who has the price of fiv-
yer can 90 out and menace the lives
and limbs of the public in this state of
personal liberty.

A HAPPY PASTOR

Auto-intoxication is a disease with
which no cares to be afflicted, but
the AUTO intoxication from which
the Rev. H. w. Wallace, pastor of
the Presbyterian Church, is suffer
| ing appears to be a very delight
full sensation, at least that is the
natural presumption from the out
standing manifestations and indi-
cations apparent in the Reverend
gentleman's attitude, which is mark
ed by an infectious smile, a little
prouder swing in his step, the
holding of his head a bit higher,
and holing every friend who
thappens along to tell hims all about
the ATTACK.
1t is all the result of having a
completely furnished, brand new,
Ford" driven to his front gate and
hitched there a couple of days ago,
with a card attached expressing
the love and good will of the
donors.
Through the thoughtfulness and
extreme kindness of Mesdames H. A.
Deupree and S. W. Hoskins, who
suggested and promoted the idea,
large number of Mr. Wallace's
friends in Poplarville and other
parts of the County, contributed to-
ward the purchase of the car, and
not only secured that but handed
in a goodly purse along with it
for the purpose, as the card said, of
buying gas and OIL"
Mr.. Wallace certainly merited
this act of appreciation. He is an
able and thoughtful preacher and
a dilligent, attentive pastor; and has
had a decided influence in the
County in moral and spiritual mat
tiers and, as President of the Cham
Der of Commerce, has sought to
promote civic affairs as well.
On the principal that cit never
rains, but it pours," just about the
time that the car was presented to
him Mr. Wallace received a letter
from one of the families in his con-
gregation enclosing a check for a
hundred dollars as a post Christ
mas present for him and Mrs. Wal
lace.
That these excellent people are
delighted goes without saying.

OLE MISS DEFEATS A. & NJ.

Yesterday on the fields Of New
Albany, was fought battle which
promises great things for the Ole
Miss Eleven of 1923.
The Ole Miss Freshmen, outweigh
ed ten pounds to the man, beaten
at the end of the third-quarter,
so came back gloriously for their
future alma-mater, and overwheIm-
ingly defeated the A. & NJ. Fresh
men with two touchdowns. When
the final whistle blew it found our
Freshies within only sixteen feet
of another touchdown, after having
literally plowed up the heavy A. &
NJ. line, and the score stood 1876
in favor of Ole Miss. lit will be
of interest to know that one Of the
last gains through the line was
made by the indomnitiable half
back, John Muslin, when he plowed
through for a six yard gain just
previous to the final whistle.
Doc Stringer, playing alternately
at end and quarter. made a forty
yard run through a broken field,
which shortly afterwards resulted
in Ole Miss first touchdown to be
followed within four minutes by
second and had the whistle not
blown when it did by a third.
AS the time alone was responsible
for our varsity not beating A. &
M. at jackson, so was time re-
sponsible for our Freshies not max
ing another touchdown yesterday.
