Battle in the Mud
Results in Tie at
Greenwood FRIDAY

Battling in a sea Of mud and water,
the Lexington Hi and the Greenwood
team, slid and slipped through a gone
of football at Greenwood Friday after
noon which resulated in tie Of &c.
The first half of the game was score
less, each side unable to penetrate the
others defense, and wobbly punts that
bounded all over the wet field were
chased down by the warriors, in many
instances recovered a half dozen times
before a claimant could anchor the elu-
sive pigskin long enough for the referee
to- Determine .se .eossessor.
In the third quarter Greenwood push
ed over marker but failed to kick
goal, the ball shooting off at an angle
that caused the spectators to dodge and
take cover to avoid being struck down
by the mud ball.
Lexington quickly evened the score,
when Pat Barrett played wide and
caugh long pass and ran so yards
for one of the high spots of the game
His broken field running and didging
was spectacular and he shook off his
tacklers at every turn. This play was
the only part of the game that re-
sembled a football match, for every play
in the Shiny ooze turned out entirely
different from the intended execution.
It was mad scramble with tottering
lines sliding and slipping, backfields
piling up from boggy steps, and tackl-
ers skating in pairs until a water hole
brought them to a stop. 1t was almost
impossible to distinguish players on the
field, for mud covered each player be-
yond recognition and even the referee
resembled a channel swimmer before
the contest was over. A close threat by
Greenwood ended the game when the
locals were pushed against the last line
but the whistle saved the day.
The locals played good game de-
spited the handicaps, and with a dry
field it was freely predicted that the
score would have been all in their IA
vor. Quite number of local rooters
were on hand to watch their favorites
and all seem satisfied with the final
outcome.

Many Buy Tickets to
National Dairy Show

Mr.. Morris Lewis says that he will
attend the National Dairy Show Oct.
10th and goth. He hopes that Lexington
will be represented there by large
delegation of her most progressive and
influential citizens. The show stresses
both production and manufacturing and
measures each year the progress which,
the country has made along these lines.
Mr. Lewis believes that everyone in
terested in our sectional development
along dairy lines should make an ef-
fort to go to Memphis at this time,
securing the advantage of attractive
rates and seeing at the same time the
National Dairy and Tri-State Fair.
By his purchase of the first ticket
sold from here to the National Dairy
Show, Mr.. W. L. Jordan expresses more
forceably than could have been done in
words his belief in the Importance of
this event to himself and to this Sec
tion. Dr.. Brady is another whose in
terest in this event has been translated
into action. At this time enough tickets
have been sold to insure at least one
Pullman coach from here.

latest developments in the dairy in

discussion at the Rotary Club luncheon
Friday.
Messers. T. j. Trull and c. ]. Goodell
made short talks, in which were develop
ed the interesting facts that the Nat
ional Dairy Show, greatest in it's field,
is exhibiting in the South for the first
and possibly for the last time; that
special trains are to be operated from
all sections of the state; and that on
the Attala- Holmes Special train, Kos

and Lexington a number yet to be de-
termined. The Show is being sponsored
by number Of the leading business men
in Holmes county, and already twenty

Paul Lindholm called attention to the
condition of Lexington's streets and
sidewalks. and urged development
program in that respect.
H. L. Martin suggested that for the
prevention of fire and the elimination
of confusion, the city be arranged in
districts, and that alarm be sounded as
to indicate the district in which the
fire is located.
j. N Hall said, "The greatest thing that
could come for Lexington and Holmes
county would be the employment of a
county agent for the next four years,
to return to us the position of leader
ship we enjoyed until this public servant
was dispensed with
W. O. Barrett reminded the Club of
the condition of the road leading to the
cemetery, suggesting that it be gravel
ed and connected with the Lexington
A. E. Swineny asked for cooperation
among Lexington business and profess
sional men, forgetting personal differ
ences and business rivalry, and working
for the common good.
Morris Lewis felt that the real need
of Lexington is a condensary, and urg-
ed that dairy development be continued
until conditions are ripe to support
condensary in this section of the coun-
ty.
Clowns and farm communities are
made prosperous by people," said H. H.
Johnson, and he urged that by the ad-
