XI r 4 PSM"" ' I MASTIC MIXED PAINT fl OT many years ago an extreme prejudice existed against mixed Paint, due, in most part, to the poor quality fo Irl on the public. Since we have been handling Mastic Mixed Paint this prejudice has gradually been overcome unii. today it is practically the only mixed paint used in town, and our sales of it each year are almost double mat on previous. There is a reason for this. Mastic Mixed Paint is compounded of the purest white lead and linseed on, w just enough zinc in it to counteract the effects of the climatic conditions of this section of the country. After pure e and oil has been on a house a year or two the oil dries out, leaving a chalky substance which can be rubbed olt with in finger. The zinc in our paint is to counteract this effect. Then, too, it is thoroughly ground by machinery, thus insUTinS a complete blending of the ingredients, which is not possible in mixing by hand We sell a lanie amount of this Paint because people know that we have been handling it for 12 years, know that it has been thoroughly tested, and know that it b what the manufacturers and wc say it is the best paint on the market. We carry a larger line of paint than any other house in town, and will be glad to figure with you on your next job. Our price is as low as consistent on strictly high grade paint. We can show you any number of houses that have been painted with Mastic. A color card for the asking. WETHERBEE HARDWARE CO. 14 WALNUT ST.

MISS. Prompt attention given all orders The Boll Weevil Quarantine. The boll weevil quarantine in Mis sissippi, established by l'rof. Cilcnn W. llerrick, the State entomologist, is causing the railroads considerable vorrv, owing to the impediments to traffic from Texas, both on freight and passenger business. The Mississippi provisions against freight carried from the districts of Texas infected with the boll weevil are very, rigid, and at the urgent request of the railroads, l'rof. Her rick has modified the restrictions somewhat, so as not to unnecessarily hamper traffic. The quarantine against Texas grain has been amend ed so far as oats is concerned. This action was taken in order to pre serve the trade between Texas pro ducers and Mississippi consumers. The passenger departments of the roads entering Mississippi manifest much uneasiness over the embargo ! against hand baggage from the in fected districts. .Section 4 of the. Mississippi -quarantine regulations reads as follows: "No common carrier, person, firm, corporation, partnership or associa tion shall bring into or carry through the State of Mississippi any baggage bedding, clothing or mattresses stuffed with corn shuck, hay, straw or cotton, or any other materia liable to contain the boll weevil, from any of the counties, parishes or places in the States of Texas and Louisiana where the boll weevil may exiet." This provision is giving the pas senger traffic officials as much worry as the freight restrictions are giving the freight officials. It is claimed by the passenger men that the em bargo against hand baggage is too severe, and the matter will be taken up by the officials with the Missis sippi authorities. The railroad men sav that thev realize the gravity of importing boll .weevils into a non-infected State, but. that there is no likelihood whatever of the insects be ing carried in hand baggage which contains merely the personal wear ing apparel of travelers. Deficit in Prospect. The vaults of the State treasury now contain less than $130,000, and a deficit is immediately in prospect unless the payment of the semi-annual distribution of the school fund is deferred for a few weeks. The school fund distribution, amounting to $-ll(),(HH).(i6, is payable, according to law, during the month of June, but there will not be enough money in the vaults during the month to meet the payment.and postponement o,' the distribution is inevitable. It will not cause the State any finan cial embarrassment, however, as the money is not needed by the public schools until the latter part of the summer, or just before the opening cf the scholastic term. Early in July Gov. Vardaman and Treasurer Mil ler will sell the half-million dollar issue of three and one-half per cent bonds authorized by the legislature, and this will tide the State over the crisis, it is hoped, until the fall tax collections commence to arrive. The June collections at the treasury will not amount to more than $40,000 or $"0,000, and a great deal more than this amount will be paid out. A few inquiries have been received by the governor and treasurer from capital ists regarding the bond issue, but there does not seem to be any great anxiety on the part of investors to capture the issue. Killed by Dynamite. John Marsh, a Jasper county ne gro, started out on a fishing trip the other day, intending to use a stick of dynamite instead of the custom ary, hook and line with worm bait, and the neighbors have been looking for his remains ever since. Marsh was evidently unaccustomed to the use of dynamite as an easy method of procuring fish for supper, as he had gone only a few feet from the house when the stuff exploded.
