EXTENDS to its friends and patrons best wishes for a Happy and Joyous
Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. While present conditions are
... such as to lead many to believe that our condition is a critical one as a com
munity and nation, yet with a conviction that right will prevail, and that the
Father of us all will keep watch uver and protect us if we go on in the right—
trusting to His wisdom in all things—nothing can prevail against us, and in
the end we are bound to come out victorious.
Our mutual interests are situated in the “Land Flowing with Milk and
Honey,” and with the proper judgment exercised in our business relations
one with another, with our faces turned to the right, and our hearts and souls
looking back upon the life of Him whose birth we are about to celebrate, and
whose living principles we should strive to emulate and exemplify, all things
will be well with us in the end.

frit* Kreisler to Open Artist Course
January 7th.
Fritz Kreisler, the great violinist, is
' the possessor of three extraordinary vio
lins. One is a rather small Stradivar
ius, not large in tone but of exquisite
quality, which he uses often for recitals
in small halls.* The second is a Gaglia
no, the work of one of the earliest and
most famous of the Italian violin-mak
ers who flourished in Florence in the
first half of the seventeenth century.
The instrument, however, that he uses
the most is one made by Josef Guarneri
del Gesu, which was formerly the prop
erty of the great Wilhelmy.
This Guarnerius is one of the finest
Instruments in existence and It would
be difficult to compute its value in dol
lars and cents. The chances are, how
ever, that if it were put up for auction
at Christie’s in London it would bring
from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars.
It is a large instrument with the big
mellow tone characteristic of its kind,
and Kreisler uses it almost entirely
when he plays concertos with orches
tra. He has other instruments, of
course, but these are the most famous.
Kreisler will opeh the Whitworth Ar
tist Course with a concert here on the
evening of January 7th.

Would Bather Remain In Turkish Ha
rems as Favorite Wives.
Sarasoun, Asia Minor, Dec. 15.—En
tente and American uinciais and relief
workers entrusted with the task of re
storing Armenian girls and women to
their lamnies have found that many
of the gins who in tne war were for
cibly taken into harems and became the
involuntary wives of the Turks and
n.raDs preferred to continue as Turkish
wives and were unwilling to leave their
husbands.
They feared the harships of life a
mong fellow countrymen who knew of
their servitude. Some of the girls be
came attached to their foreign husbancfa
and said they liked the life into which
they had fallen. Where the girls had
children the problem was doubly hard.
The lot of some of the educated wo
men and girls was much more pitiable
man that of those who had enjoyed no
advantages. American women relief
workers found one case in Central Tur
ney especially perplexing. A girl who
was graduated from one of the Amer
ican mission colleges was taken captive
in the early part of the war. A pro
minent Turkish official whorfe only wife
nad recently died took the Armenian
girl into his home. His mother and
children became much attached to the
girl, whose superior education made her
an important member of the community.
The Turk was very influential and
through the influence of the young Ar
menian, saved Armenian refugees from
persecution. He proposed to the girl
and she Anally married him. When the
relief workers went to the Turkish home
to And whether the young bride desired
to be freed from her husband, there was
censterriation in the house. The Turk
and his mother and children were de
voted to the girl and begged the Ameri-1
cans not to force her to leave. The
young wife had one child.
The relief workers talked to the Ar
menian wife privately and told her they
would not insist upon her leaving if
she wanted to stay. She told them she
could not leave her child: that the Turk
had been kind to her and Bhe felt that
by remaining in the village as the wife
of the most prominent official she could
be of greater assistance to Armenians
than in any other way. The Turkish
husband and his family were overjoyed
when the Americans told them they
would not take the girl away. He
promised he would not take another
wife and give the Americans rugs and
other gifts as an expression of appre
ciation.

Crystal Springs, Miss., Dec. 17.—Judge

fo-med more marriage ceremonies than
any other Justice of the peace in the
state, living or dead, and again for hold
ing the office longer than any justice of
the pqace, has been placed In a new role
these Christmas times. A clerk at a lo
cal store called the Judge Wednesday
and asked him to try on a suit of
clothes. ,
The Judge was Just a little puffed up,
as he fondly dreamed that some kind
friend was going to make him a present
of a new suit. He compiled with the
clerk’s request, who fitted him out to a
"queen's taste", and then calmly asked
him to remove the as.it, explaining that
a lady who wished to give 'her husband
i Christmas prtwemt of a sui’t had
phoned the store to Itry the suit on tihe
judge, and if it fitted! him it would .atoo
it her husband. The judge thanked the

“Ain’t til* Argentum Ant Awful?"
It surety is—until the representatives
of me Mississippi Plant Hoard get on
its trail, alter wnich it' may truuuuny
oe saiu that the Argentine Ant just sim
ply •ain’t." At least, this seems to be
me case in Woodviile, Mississippi,
where me Argentine Ant control started
in September. Two months later Uo
per cent of the ants were reported dead
and such expressions as “Worked like
a charm,” ‘The best thing that ever
happened to Woodviile,’’ and ’'Haven’t
seen an ant in my house since,’’ were
common in Woodviile.
Tins troublesome pest was imported
many years ago, prooauly Horn Brazil,
ana mu oeen constantly increasing in
numbers until now it is found in scat
tYied localities from Texas to the At
lantic, attacking gardens, ruining or
cuaru anu truck crops, and sw'armiug
into nouscs, in some instances even for
cing people to vacate their homes. \
most attempts to poison the ants
nave usually been unsuccessful because
the poison was so strong the ants a
\oided it after a few had been killed.
However, after a number of experiments
E. K. Barber of the United States Bu
reau of Entomology, succeeded in com
pounding a weakly poisoned syrup
which continues to attract the ants and
eventually exterminates them almost en
tirely. The details of making and ap
plying this syrup, with much valuable
information about the Argentine Ant, is
given by Mr. Barber in Farmers’ Bulle
tin No. 1101, distributed free by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture.
The State Plant Board of Mississip
pi in co-operation with several towns
of the State has been very successful In
fighting the Argentine Ant. Much of
this success was doubtless due to the
personal supervision of Mr. Barber and
to the splendid assistance of Mr. Luth
er Brown, and other members of the
State Plant Board. The towns have
furnished the necessary materials and
labor while the Plant Board has super
vised the work, using at times six or
seven men to carefully direct the op
erations.
That Woodville put on the first cam
paign in the state against the Argentine
Ant was largely through the efforts of
Miss Mittie Fugler, Home Economics
Agent for Wilkinson county. Already
a decided success, the use of the poison
■will be continued in an effort to entire
ly eradicate the pest in that town. Cam
paigns have since been put on in Crys
tal Springs, Laurel and Durant, and
while favorable reports have already
been received, sufficient time has not
yet elapsed to give the complete success
that is expected. >
Considerable trouble and delay was
experienced this year in obtaining sup
plies, but to guard against delay next
year the State Plant Board is now ar
ranging to keep the necessary materials
on Rand in large quantities, and will be
ready to start the fight without a hitch
whenever any town wishes to oo-oper
ate. Persons or organisations interest
ed should address the State Entomolo
gist, Agricultural College, Mississippi.
Sell Corn at 65 Cents.
Sherman, Miss., Dec. 17.—Corn is sail
ing here at 65 cents a bushel. Some of
the farmers are holding their com for
a better market, but G. S. Beasley, the
local com dealer, has just shipped a car
purchased from the farmers of this com
munity. Farmers from near this town
have been trying to purchase com to
hold for a better price. Most of them
have stored their cotton for a better
price. Recently a car of fine alfalfa hay
was sold and shipped to Myrtle by N. M.
Powell, a prosperous farmer of this
town.

Annual Celebration by the Climbers'
Club.
The Climbers’ Club held its annual
celebration of "Mississippi Night’’ at
the home of Mrs. J. W. Cassedy, Dec.
16. 1920. This magnificent home had
been most lavishly decorated for this
occasion with evergreens and Egyptian
holly. Amidst these decorations was
placed an emblem of the seal of the
State of Mississippi.
The following program was given:
Two Preludes, Chopin; Nocturne, C.
minor, Chopin; Fantasia, F Minor, Cho
pin; by Miss Elsie Barge. Greetings—
Mrs. D. Cohn. Mrs. Cohn stated that
the club women’s position in Brookhaven
had been plainly established in the
minds and hearts of the people because
in entering the larger life of the com
munity they had become conscious of
their power to initiate improvemets and
help with various reforms. Today their
opportunities for usefulness and service
were greater than ever before.
Mrs. Cohn then introduced the speaker
of the evening, Dr. I. W. Cooper, as
Brookhaven’s favorite son. Dr. Cooper
gave in a most fascinating and enter
taining manner an address on Cathedrals
and Art Galleries of Europe.
Miss Barge then gave three piano
numbers, "On the Sea”, Shytte; "Proph
et “Bird”, Schumann; “The Gazelle”, Kul
lak. The Brookhaven people were made
to feel proud indeed of the possession of
such an accomplished and gifted artist.
At the conclusion of the program a
pleasant social hour, with refreshments
consisting of a salad and an ice follow
ed.
The meeting then adjourned.

RED CARNIVAL OF
DEATH DESCRIBED
United States Consul at Omsk
Relates Horrors of Bol
shevist Rule.
COMMIT AWFUL ATROCITIES
Reign of Terror la Marked by Cruelty
Unparalleled in History of Civ
ilization—Many Childrao
Are Murdered.
New York.—John A. Embry, the
American consul at Omsk, capital city
of the Kolchak government, arrived
in New York recently and told the
official story of what had happened la
Siberia and eastern Russia in the last
eight months, during practically all
of which time he had been In charge
of American affairs.
Mr. Embry said no language could
picture the atrocities that have
marked bolshevik rule In the terri
tories recaptured by Admiral Kolchak,
a reign of terror that had been
marked, he declared, by murder, vio
lation of women, theft, and arson,
perpetrated with cruelty unparalleled
in thp histnrv of HvlllnoHon
How They Took Charge.
“We were on our Way to the Ufa
front, the southern sector of the Sibe
rian front My first stop was at the
little county courthouse. There I
learned that at sunset on {he day
that the Kolchak forces withdrew the
bolshevlsts had entered the city.
“Tlie first thing the bolshevlsts did
was to loot the town, and then they
organized their government At the
head they placed the most crnel and
outspoken of their leaders. They then
appointed committees, one of them the
so-called extraordinary committee on
Investigation.
The Judges, the aldermen, the coun
rllmen and other leading ettizens—
that Is, those who had not been able
to escape—were promptly arrested,
tnd all of those who were known to
be against bolshevism or were sus
pected were taken that night Into the
pubtyc square and ^executed. They
were denied trial of any sort
"I talked with a woman teacher.
The bolsheviks lined up all the boys,
the little ones as well, and questioned
them as to their sympathies. All who
were not killed were put to work of
the most menial kind.
'The school girls were ordered to
serve In the barracks, the reds curs
ing and beating those not blessed with
good looks. As for the good-looking
girls, to use the words of their former
teacher, they ‘suffered insults of the
most horrible nature.’
Many Hostages Held.
“They also named many hostages
and after subjecting them to the most
horrible treatment killed them and
threw the bodies Into the river.
“Kguan Is a city of perhaps 55,000
people. The bolsheviks murdered at
one time more than 1,500 citizens of
the place. .
“In Bugulma a large number of men
were thrown Into the hold of a barge
In the river at night. There were 00
persons In the hold, among them Mme.
Sophia Hedrofskaka, the principal of
the girls’ high school.
“The barge was towed a long dis
tance down the river and during the
voyage nine prisoners were ordered
to the deck and none ever returned,
nor had any of them been heard from
up to the time I left for America.”
FIND INDIAN BURIAL GROUND
Workmen In Park In Minnesota Town
Unearth Skulls and Bones *f
Red men.
Bemldjl, Minn.—Beneath the root*
of two large oak trees two Indian
skulls and other bones of the hupian
body were found by workmen leveling
mounds in .the city park on the shore
of Lake Bemldjl.
The skulls and bones were badly de
cayed, but the teeth were In fairly
good condition. Charcoal in large
quantities was found In the vicinity
of the bones, which indicates that the
place was an Indian burial pyre, old
residents say.
It Is believed that beneath the
mound may be found many more
bodies, but the workmen merely re
moved the top earth and with the ex
ception of a few bones which were
gathered by souvenir seekers, the skel
etons were again buried.
TRACING CAPTURED DRUMS
North British Fusiliers Start an In
quiry in Thia Country After
140 Years.
Boston.—What became of the drums
of the North British Fusiliers when
General Burgoyne’s forces surrender
ed at Saratoga 140 years ago is now
a subject of official Investigation. A
letter received by Adjutant General
Jesse F. Stevens from the war depart
ment conveys an inquiry from the
British military attache at Washing
ton as to whether any drums of this
regiment are now “in any museum, In
stitution or arsenal in this country.”
The inquiry is prompted by a tradi
tion in the regiment which Is now
known as the Royal Scots Fusillera,
that their drums were captured in
177ft. and it is desired If possible to
settle doubts as to the truth of th«
itory.

LOCAL INSURANCE
MEN INTERVIEWED
Taka Exceptions to Eokertsons Article
Insurance Statistics as Ap
plied to Brookkarex.
The Deader produces for Its readers
the following interview held by a repre
sentative of the paper with Mr. Perd V.
Becker, manager of the local Underwri
ter’s Agency, and Mr. W. D. Davis, of
the Insurance Department of the Brook
haven Bank & Trust Co., which gives
the other side of the vital question rais
ed by the tttate Revenue Agent: .
"The statement of Mr. Robertson is
grossly erroneous In several respects,"
say these gentlemen. "In the llrst place
he brands the fire Insurance companies
guilty of the charges preferred against
them, when It is a matter for the courts
to decide. The law is supposed to pre
sume a person Innocent until proven
guilty, and this fule also holds good as
to the' corporation.
wvwim, «i 10 uv>i a. mai iiisui auct
companies have been compelling the
public to pay ever-increasing rates dur
ing recent years. There has been no
marked advance in insurance rates in
Brookhaven or elsewhere in the state
during the past few years. During the
war period there was a 10 per cent em
ergency tax applied, but it was taken oil
immediately after the war ended. Also
a tax oj 25 cents was applied on risks
with shingle roofs.
"It is noteworthy that the price of Are
insurance was one of the exceedingly
few business necessities or commodities
that did not advance at an alarming rate
during the war period and the two years
following the close of the war. There
fore. when Mr. Robertson speaks of
"ever-increasing" rates he is either
grossly ignorant of the situation, or
seeks to wilfully mls-represent it.
"The revenue agent says that the fire
insurance companies have been "taking
out” of Mississippi in premiums ovei
$6,500,000 per year. This is also untrue.
The Revenue Agent overlooks the fact
that the fire insurance companies paid
to policy holders last year losses a
mountlng to more than *2,500,000; that
from the gross premiums collected they
must pay the commissions to their local
agents, which are the same as in the
pre-war period, all of which is retained
and spent in the state; that there is
uiso a heavy overhead expense connected
with the operation of the business, in
cluding the salaries of special agents,
adjusters, stationery, fees paid to the
state through the office of the insurance
commissioner, and other fixed charges on
fhf» hiiainoes
"As a matter of fact, the statistics
will show that the Insurance companies,
as a whole, have lost money on their
Mississippi business during the past
decade. During only three years of the
past ten years have their books shown
a small profit margin.
"Citing Brookhaven's experience as an
example, the tire insurance companies
lost more on one lumber mill fire oc
curring in this city than they can show
in profits for years of risk writing in
this city.
^'The revenue agent indulges in cheap
and unworthy demagogy when he says
that the farmers of this state have been
left for many years without fire protec
tion. It is not only cheap demagogy,
but untrue as well.
"That a state official, after having
filed a suit of such destructive charac
ter, would show himself so grossly ig
norant of the facts concerning insurance
conditions in this state is nothing short
of 'astounding.
"During the past year more than fif
teen companies have specialised on
writing farm property in this state.
Not only is this true, but the rates on
that class of business have been great
ly reduced, and any farmer who has
good moral character and will observe
the simple rules of protection required
finds no trouble whatever in getting in
surance on his home, barns and other
outbuildings.
“Not only can the farmer get his
property insured without any trouble
whatever, but he can get the insurance
even on easier terms than the city dwell
er. The insurance companies have
been writing a five year policy on farm
risks, premiums to be paid in annual in
stallments, whereas the city dweller
pays cash within thirty days from the
date of issuance of the policy. The
farmer can not only insure his dwell
Ing and barns bat he can also Insure
Ills live stock at reasonable rates. One
:ompany operating in tlu state has
written risks during the past year on
farm property the premium* for which
aggregate more than $150,000.
"The att^pipt of the revenue agent to
Justify his action in serving writs of
garnishment on company funds in the
hands of agents is a very flimsy plea.
He says that the funds garnisheed rep
resent the collections of a little more
than two weeks, and that local agents,
anticipating the suit. In many Instances
settled up with the companies. This is
likewise untrue. The suit came as a
distinct surprise to the local agents,
and as a matter of fact, their settle
ments with the home offices are usually
from sixty to ninety days apart and this
attachment tied up at least $2,000,000
now due the companies.
“In the last twenty-four hours the
insurance agencies of Brookhaven have
received notices from their companies
to cease taking business. In view of
the revenue agent's statement that the
companies are guilty of conspiracy and
liable to a penalty of $5,000 per day,
this seems the only reasonable action
for the companies to take to avoid fur
ther liability.
•The order not to renew expiring pol
icies or to accept new business is in it
self a calamity to the business interests.
But, should the companies go further
and decide to cancel existing policies,
the result would be chaos. Think of the
number of mortgages and other commer
cial papers containing provisions that
the property shall be kept insured!
Could the holder of this paper do other
than foreclose and seize the property if .
their fire protection is taken away?
“Cannot our state officers And a solu
tion for this controversy without tlelng
up the premiums’ There is no sugges
tion that the companies accepted by our
vent. A judgement, if obtained, can be
collected without such drastic action."

Tire la Gulfport Checked.
Gulfport, Miss., Dec. 18.—The Gulf
port Are department had an opportunity
today to try out their new America La
France apparatus, when Are broke out in
an old frame two-story dwelling in the
heart of the business district owned by
Vowell Bros. The Are no doubt started
from a defective flue as it had broken
out through the roof when discovered
but the prompt action of the Are depart
ment held the loss to 'less than $50.
The Harris Ice Cream Company of
New Orleans, which established a branch
here last June, has found business good.
Appreciating that a creamery on the
Gulf Couast has long been needed, to
provide a ready market for all dairy
products, such a market being necessary
for profltable stock growing and dairy
ing, it has incorporated the Gulfport
branch for $100,000 under the name of
the Harris Ice Cream Company Gulf
Coast Creamerry.
Statistics Just issued by the referee
in bankruptcy shows that the popula
tion of the Southern District of Missis
sippi are either more prosperous or more
honest than some other less favored dis
tricts, for there have been but 133 bank
ruptcy cases Aled in the last few years
up to date, distributed as follows: 1916,
29; 1917, 26; 1918. 8; 1919, 12; 1920, 9.

OoMibjr Awaits Sentence.
Much Interest attaches to the dispo
sition that Judge Brien will make of R.
r. Goldsby, the notorious black "fence”
famous all over the state for his being
the center of various "escapes", "releas
8S.” etc., after being sentenced and sup
posed to be serving his term.
The big crook, about 100 pounds light
er, still leaving him weighing over 200 ,
pounds, plead guilty yesterday afternoon
to one of the six indictments still hang
ing over him and he was sent back to
lail to await Judge Brien's decision as
to just what to do with him.
Nothing definite can be learned in con
nection with Goldsby, but in view of
iiis previous wrigglings from the "pen”
it would surprise nobody if the judge
sentenced him to a good long term In
the Warren county jail, where he can be
under the judge's watchful eye every
dour of the 24 if he chooses to make it
so.—Vicksburg Post.
