Walter D. Turnbough reports for the benefit of those who have writ- ten him that the sugar cane crop of Louisiana and Cuba was bought up by big interests at 22c per gallon. There is practically no market for Louisiana cane syrup at present on

account of the enormous carry over

by both factories and farmers who held same for high prices and did not succeed in getting them. Several Lincoln farmers have joined in with

1

Turnbough who has 4 acres and they have sold a carload for 35c in ten pound cans f.o.b. Brookhaven. The prices on Louisiana products are cut about half in two.

Mr. and Mrs. James McGrath of Canton, were Sunday visitors with Mrs. F. B. Moodie, coming thru the country in the Perlinsky car. While here Mr. Dave Perlinsky visited his cousin, Mrs. Leon Priebatsch.

quests for Extra Copies of

xious that their friends in other ci- ties see what Brookhaven and Lin- coln county really has, what they can

do and what kind of a live newspa- per she has.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hartman vis- ited McComb Hospital last Sunday and faere delighted with it.

Misses Rachel Hamilton, Vivian Sauls and Marjorie Sauls were hos- tesses at a beautiful miscellaneous shower at the home of Miss Hamil- ton’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hamilton in honor of Miss Jessie Day, Friday afternoon.

Arriving guests were received by the young hostesses, and Mrs. Ham- ilton, and invited into a parlor beau- tifully decorated with masses of ros- es and festoons of snowy cotton. A bewitching Kewpie bride smiled from the mantel. Above the chair reserv- ed for the lovely guest of honor. Miss Day, was a big white lover’s knot.

An enjoyable “love letter” guess- ing contest ended with a tie among three contestants, Mmes. Clyde Day, Jasper Pembroke Davis and Eugene S. Bee, the prize, the Kewpie bride being drawn by Mrs. Bee.

Wishes for the bride were inscrib- ed in a bride’s book.

The delivery of a bale of cotton, Irawn by a real pickaninny with head “tied up” in a bandanna, to the guest of honor, was the great event ef the afternoon, for the cleverly constructed bale proved to be a big chest containing a variety of lovely gifts for the bride-to-be. These were

passed around the circle of guests md examined with much interest.

A delicious salad course was ser- ved.

Cotton is 18:25 today.

MAGEE BABY HAS A NARROW ESCAPE

Rescued by John S. Coleman When Residence Burns in

High Wind.

The residence occupied by Dr. and Mrs. John W. Magee and family a-

long with practically all of the household furnishings was destroy- ed by fire Saturday morning. The blaze started at a time when a high 1

wind was blowing and aided in the destruction of the property. A de- fective kitchen flue is believed to have caused the blaze.

While Dr. and Mrs. Magee of course regret greatly their monetary loss they recognize with grateful sat- isfaction the fact that their little ba- by was not also a sacrifice. Mr. John S. Coleman, a neighbor, fortunately ran into the kitchen altho at risk to himself the timber falling at the time and rescued the little one. Mrs. Ma- gee had left the baby In the kitchen while she ran over to a neighbor’s! for a few minutes to inquire about a sick child and it was during that brief time that the fire suddenly blazed up. The house was beyond | saving before anyone could realize, the danger.
