FRIDAY JULY 28, 1905. ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR BAPTIST CHURCH BUYSVALUABLE LOT. TAKE A DAY OFF ENJOY THE PICNIC. AMBITION. Every morning just at ten When the train goes puffing by, -I run out to watch her fly And see the different folks within; But what I likes to see most well Is the big brass shiney bell.

Popper says when I'm a man With an edercated head And as big as Uncle Fred, I must travel through the land A-making speeches just like he' On "equal rights" and "liberty." But instead of living so, With a big Prince Albert on And a-using of my tongue Telling folks, what I don't know, I'll be a fireman in my cell it. if i ti a a X' ti ti fc' ti ti a ti a a ti a ti ti ti ti ti ti Zi Complimentary Expressions. The many nice things being said of late of Congressman S. Hill by the press of this, the Fourth District, reveals alike th popularity of the man and the loyalty of his friends. Our talanted, capable and successful young congressman is beyond doubt the most popular man in the District, and that he will easily succeed himself for at least one more term is but a Reserved recognition of his merit.

His course in congress, the zeal he has at all times and under ail circumstances in the interests of not only his constituents but in the welfare of the State, section and nation, commend him to all classes and mark him for the place. As an evidence of his popularity in this, Yalobusha, county and of the desire of this people to know him better, he was invited to deliver the address at the annual reunion and picnic of Feath-erstone Camp, Confedeaate Veterans in Water Valley last fall, and this spring was complimented with invitations to address the schools of Coffeeville and Water Valley at their closing exercises, all of which invitations he kindly accepted. On each of these oc casions his address was eminently appropriate, eloquent in word and thought, and was received by our people with conspicuous appreciation, Water Valley shiney bell. Base Ball News. The games of Thursday and Friday of last week with Bates-ville were a recapitulation of all the forms and ceremonies of a hard luck But the humiliation of defeat experienced by the home team was forgotten, and dull indifference as to the result of future contests was manifested when it wast seen that the "knockers" had donned their professional attire and and were making the welkin ring with their fenseless gibberish.

This should not be. Baseball has been the National game for more than half a century. Teams almost invincible have been organized and still every one knows that the best of them are sometime beaten. The record of Winona's team this season is a very enviable one. Thirteen games have been played on the local diamond with the following result: won 8, lost 3, tied 2.

With such a record in evidence let the faithful rooters gird up their loins for future contests, and go way back and sit down. Following the Batesviile tourists, came the Nashville American's. They area strong bunch and still our boys captured two out of three games played. In Wednesday's game the boys were more than revenged for the shutout of Tuesday, Pink Witty was in form and with merciless' hand he spread on the whitewash He was master of the situation from the beginning' and no fleet-footed opponent crossed the rubbur. He received brilliant support, the fielding of Guy Hester being a feature of the game.

Other ga rnes are being arranged and it is hoped that the people will, as in the past, be liberal in their support, Walker Lot on Summit Street-New Church Soon to Be Frected. The Winona Baptist church has purchased from the estate of T. H. Walker the lot at the corner of Church and. Summit streets, on part of which a blacksmith and wood-working shop now stands.

The ground purchased is 170x180 feet, and the-consideration was $2500. It is the purpose of the church to erect on this newly acquired property a handsome, modern brick church building. The present church lot which adjoins the property just purchased, will be graded and beautified, and a comfortable and handsome pastor's home will be erected thereon. The present pastor's home is to be offered for sale. The improvements contemplated by the Baptist congregation will give them perhaps the prettiest and most convenient church property in this.

of the State. Yellow fever. The existence of yellow fever in New Orleans having been officially reported, it becomes my duty in compliance with the action of the Mississippi State Board of Health to urgently request the authorities of all municipalities in the county to promptly adopt and enforce every possible measure that may reasonably aid us in guarding against the fever if it should possibly invade the State. All garoage anu remse 01 every kind calculated to produce an unhealthy state of the atmosphere should be either burned or carried to a safe distance beyond the corporate limits. All wet and foul smelling soil about the i i i ii.

premises snouici oe covereu vwon lime or saturated with carbolic acid. No barrels or vessels of standing water should be allowed within the corporation. All such tanks and pools of water as cannot be disposed of should be treated with crude kerosene oil. Every person white or black not having screen doors and windows should invariably sleep under inusquito bars. This is a more important precaution than all others.

It is now generally admitted that musquitoes are the prineipal.if not the only, carriers of not only the yellow fever germ but of also malarial poison. Some complaints have been lodged with your health officer against the alleged unsanitary condition of property belonging to some of our best citizens. Hereafter when reports of this character are received, a personal insoection will be first made by the health officer and if it be found that existing conditions! sustain the complaints, the facts will be reported without delay to the proper officers. If the occupants of tenement houses refuse to or fail to comply with sach sanitary regulations as the municipal authori ties may adopt, then the owners of such property should oe tnen held responsible. Health officers have no personal interest in establishing the best possible sanitary conditions beyond that of any other citizens and it is earnestly desired to avoid giving unnecessary annoyance to any citizen.

Health officers cannot compel you to protect the health and lives of yourselves and your family. They can only suggest, ad-use and warn you. Very respectfully, George Baskeryill. Health Officer of Montgomery Co. Scotland Confederate Picnic Next Thursday Promises to Be Great Success.

C. T. Witty, Clerk Court. Cassie V. Locke.

At his home in Montgomery County Miss. TI) ursday afternoon, July 20, alter a lingering illness, Mr. Cassie V. Locke died lung and throat trouble. He spent several months in Texas hoping to regain his health jjiit to no avail, and he returned to his home several months before his death.

Bro. Locke was 2 years old the '3rd of last March. When not more than a boy he made a profession of faith in Christ and united with P'-os-ject Baptist Church where his mom bership was, at the time of his death. He and Miss Maude Lee were married February 27. 1H01.

He leaves his wife and three bright little girls to mourn the loss of a husband and father, also he leaves brothers and a number of relatives and friends who are sad because he is gone. Bro. Locke's life was spent in and near the community in which he was living when he died, and every one held him in the highest esteem. He was a kind and generous friend, noble and worthy citizen, a 'loving and devoted husband and father and a faithful and loyal church member. While he will be missed very much yet he left an influence which will live and bless his community.

He met death boldly as he felt prepared to die. May the relatives and friends find consolation in Christ: especially may the Holy Spirit Comfort and strengthen Sister Locke during this dark hour and may He guide and protect Ida May. Ella Louise and Cassie, the three dear little girls made orphans by Bro. Locke's death, and may their lives bless their father's memory is the prayer of B. G.
