COTTON WAREHOUSE
 FIRE LOSS $I0,000
fire Walls and Sprinkler System Save Million Dollars Worth
 of Staple.

Pine Bluff, Nov. 27.-Fire which originated in the southeast corner of one of the buildings of the Pine Bluff Compress & Warehouse Company late Saturday night threatened to destroy more than a million dollars worth of cotton stored in the warehouse.
 The cotton is stored in warehouses spread over half mile of ground and, according to statements made by off cials of the company today, the ware houses are divided into compartments, each of which is separated by fire wall.
 In the compartment in which the blaze originated there were approxi- mately 300 bales of cotton, for the most part the property of the Arkan- sas Cooperative Growers Associa- tion.
 Only about 100 bales were damaged by fire, but the greatest damage re- suited from water flooded on the cot ton by the sprinkler system with which the warehouse is equipped. The total damage will probably a. mount to between 5000 and S10,O00 according to officers of the Pine Bluff Compress & Warehouse Company.

L.ADiESi DARNEN YOUR GRAY HAIR Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
 Will Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mix ture was applied with wonderful ef- feet.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store fer bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get this famous old preparation, im- proved by the addition of other ingre- dients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the
 ir.
 Well-known druggists say it darkehs the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.

An illustration of the difficulties that newspaper has in getting news from a distant point and getting it correct is illustrated by the accounts of the daily press about the Little River murder mystery. Some of the accounts were no doubt given over the telephone, and the stories transscriD- ed at the other end would not be re- cognized by the sender Any newspa- per man knows the very great diff culty in writing story of this kind even by one who has been on the scene. Any real newspaper want.l the unyarnished and simple truth Go down the streets of Ashdown and se~ how many stories, all different that you can hear in thirty minutes After trying this you will maybe decide that newspapers are not such willful liars after all, even if they do some times get things into print somewhat mixed with the real facts.

l5-Inning. Game.

In a game filled with sensational
fielding and heavy hitting BoRalusa
was defeated by Amite in fifteen in
nlngs last Sunday, the game being
played on Antics new diamond. The
score was 10 to 9.
Ezell, who essayed to twirl for
I bogaIusa, was miserable failure and
| MS poor work on the slab cost Boz
galusa what should have been a VIC
tory After being removed from the
box and placed in right field, his poor
fielding allowed Amite to score two
runs and finally win the game. BO-
gaIusa was unfortunate in not being
able to secure Boyd to fill his Job in
the outfield. -
Amite secured a five-run lead in
the second inning on a base on halls
batter hit and four successive hits
OH Ezell, who at this juncture was
taken out, Lefty Verrett going to
the mound, Stevens to first and
Forbes to the outfield.
With this big handicap to over
come, through the steady pitching of
Verrett and some heavy stick work
by his teammates, the lead was grad
ually cut down. Going into the ninth
inning, with the score 6 to 8 against
them, the local boys batted Dell, the
Amite pitcher, out of the box. tieing
the score. Unable to score in their
half of the ninth, Amite sent Fraser
to the box to open the tenth. Boga-
lusa met him with volley of hits and
scored two runs, putting them in the
lead, but the local boys were unable
to maintain this lead because of
Ezell's three errors in right field, per-
uniting Amite to again tie the score
in their half of the tenth.
By this time the fans were making
frantic appeals to their club to win
and the Rooters' Club was working
overtime, but Verrett pitched air
tight ball. Neither club was able to
score for four innings, although
Amite almost won the game in the
when with one down, Jar
Wis lined to deep left, but fast field
ing by Doc Smith to Forbes and a
perfect throw to the plate by Dave
Marx cut him down. at home by two
feet. This was the most exciting fea-
ture of the game, as the play pre-
vented a score on what looked like a
certain home run.
With two down in the fifteen, Doc
Smith hit safe, Verrett singled and
Joe Marx hit sharply to center, scor-
ing Smith, but Verrett was held at
third. Stollenwerck ended the in
ming with a fly to second.
And now comes the sad story with
defeat. >Amite won the game when
Packer singled, was sacrificed to sec
md by Case; Gains singled, but
Packer was held at third. Both men
scored a moment later when Mack
