The Starkville Lumber Cos. is
prepared 10 supply you with
everything in their line on short
notice, “immediately if not
sooner.” There seems to be a
demand for garden pickets, and
they have what people need at
this season of the year when
you will need to fence out the
fowls. Read their ad and get
what you want.
State wide prohibition will do
more to make the land happy and
prosperous than most anything
else. The law for the illecit sale
of whiskey is being enforced, we
are glad to say, throughout the
State and other prohibition
states. If it takes whiskey to
make a prosperous city or town
or country, we regard it as poor
prosperity and would not care to
live in such a country. Blind
tigerism is bad enough for arfy
community and that can be
stamped out.
The Peoples Barber Shop.
We have anew barber shop in
Starkville. It will be known as
The Peoples Barber Shop, and
will be conducted by L. A. Bell
whom we call Parson Bell, a
good negro, well thought of and
respected by all who know him;
and there is no one, from the
least tot to the oldest gray
headed saint, far and near, who
ever patronized a tonsorial par
lor in Starkville for the last
fifteen years, but what knows
L. A, He has been in the em
ploy of the City Barber Shop for
the past ten years and is a favor
ite of many people. L. A.
knows his business and strictly
attends to it. and makes one feel
as if one should not care if an
other growth of hair or another
crop of whiskers would grow
out while getting ready to va
cate the chair. Such ease and
pleasure L. A. gives his pa
trons.
He will occupy the house on
Main street, formerly occupied
by Mr. W. G. Scott.the jeweler,
and more recently by Mr. J. M.
Carpenter, the popular grocer.
His stand is the most central in
the city, and he will appreciate
the patronage of the good cit
izens of the town and surround
ing country.
L. A. spent last year in Saint
Louis and his stay there added
very much to his skill in the art
of his calling. He was born and
reared in this county and has the
good will of every white man,
for the reason that he has al
ways conducted himself in such
a way as to merit the same.
L. A. can be depended upon in
every particular; is said to be
a pretty fair preacher
for his race, and if he can
preach as well as he can
serve his patrons along ton
social lines, you may write him
down as a “cracker-jack” bar
ber, as some state it.
Dr. M. P. Jurney, of Longview,
one of the best physicians in the
County, was in the city Saturday
and paid our office a pleasant
visit and remembered the News
in his usual substantial way.

The A. Gressett Music House
is sending out to their patrons
and friends a most beautiful and
artistic calendar that we have
ever seen. The painting is grand
ana sublime-the old mother and
the son leaving home and the
mother’s last and parting injunc
tion: “Don’t forget the old folks
at home.” We thank this popu
lar and progressive music
of Meridian for one of these cal
endars. A beautiful decoration
for the dining room, siting room
or parlor for any home.
Many actors have become well
known and some famous through
“MONTE CRISTO.” Chas.
Fechter and James O’Neil being
the most noted, but in time they
have and must retire and give
younger blood a chance. Among
the young actors who have as
sayed the part, none have been
more successful than Mr. W. H.
Lemle, who is now being featur
ed in Fred G. Conrad’s produc
tion of Eugene Moore’s version
of Dumas’ novel. Mr. Lemle
brings youth and looks, two
great essentials, to an artistic
impersonation of Edmund Dan
tes. This classic, romatic char
acter requires all the skill of a
tired artist, and that Mr. Lamle
is equal to the task is born out
by the fact that Mr. Com rad, for
the third season, presents him
to the public. Lemle and
“MONTE CRISTO” will soon
become synonymous, is the ver
dict of all who have seen this
production. “MONTE CRISTO”
wijl be at the Opera House, on
Wednesday February 10th.
Mr. J. H. Holliman, of Bradley
neighborhood, was here Tues
day and remembered the News
“alright.” He is one of the kind
of farmers who lives at home.
We were at Bradley and had
some intimation that he killed a
hog which weighed 770 pounds
when dressed and that he said
there was no meat about it that
it all went to lard and sausage
and didn’t want any more like it.
If he had sent the sausage here
he could have sold same for a
bit per pound and made the lard,
spare ribs, backbone etc. clear
and above expenses. There is
money in such hogs and if we
bad happened at his house, feel
ing as we did about noon lost in
the woods as we were on Big
Creek, we would have made his
supply of sausage, spare ribs,
backbones etc like the nigger’s
cat fish, “how wonderfully
swunk” after we had bade him
a loving good day.
Mr. Holliman, like his father,
Judge Holliman and brothers, is
a good farmer; a good man and a
good citizen. We have some
other such farmers, but need
more like them.

bus, Is visiting in the home of
her father, Mr. T. G. Price and

Some Belated Letters.
Some times a newspaper man’s
desk gets so littered with ex
changes that he overlooks im
portan . matters, says the Jack
son News.
While engaged in New York
house cleaning last night the ed
itor of the Daily News encount
ered two Santo Claus letter that
were overlooked while the com
munication from the little folks
were being published just prior
to Christmas.
It would be unfair to these
little ones not to make their
wants public since the Daily
News printed nearly two thous
and letters to Santa within a
period of two weeks. We there
fore giye publicity these mislaid
letters, and they are as follows:
“Dear Old Santa: I want you
to put a promise in my stocking
that I will get about 100,000
votes in the next Senatorial ele
ction. Please send Vai daman
a mixture of Paris green, aqua
fortis, arsenic, strychnine, prus
sic acid, formaldehyde, caynide
of potassium, laudanum, and any
other poisons you have handy,
and make him take it in case he
keeps on insisting that he wants
my job. Goodbye for this time,
dear Santa, give my regards to
Mrs. Santa, the little Santas,
and shake hands for me with all
the voters in your neighborhood.
Very truly yours,
“Uncle Anes.”
Dear Santa: Please endow me
with the strength to wipe up
the whole face of she earth with
that canny Scotchman who in
sists on holding the job I would
very much like to have because
I need it worse than he does.
Besides he has been there long
enough. Lash into silence the
pusilaniomus puppies who are
continually barking at me, keep
the red necks and the hill billies
strong in the faith, and don’t
let the nigger question lose its
prestige as a burning issue. 1
have been a good boy during the
past year, dear Santa, and I am
the best*edttor The Issue ever
had.
Cordially and sincerely,
“James K.”

Coming Back in April.
“A Merry New York Maid,’’ a farci-M
cal comedy of unusual merit, was the
offering at the Nixon last evening an<l
by the number of encores called for by
an appreciative audience certafnlv scor*
ed an unequaled success. The plot o/i
the comedy hinges on the matrimonial
adventures of Dunraven Brown, who i/i
his quest for a rich heiress, meets with
many mishaps which . were extremely
funny. Mr. Robert Garnella, who had
the leading part, was very funny and
elicited unstinted appalause for his
many comicilaties. Lew Orth, as the
happy-go-lucky tramp in his
to aid Dunraven Brown in his many?
schemes, scored a big success, display
ing great ability as a character actor ot
no mean calibre. Miss Elsie Edtia Gar
nella, the cute little serving maid, who j
is always looking for trouble, was most
pleasing in her character of soubrette,
and her singing and dancing received
many curtain calls. Miss May Shirk, ;
as the daughter of the rich Mr. winters,
portrayed the character of the demure
and intellectual young lady in a polish
ed manner, and should be seen in dram
as on the order of “Scraps of Paper,” ‘
etc., which would give more scope fos
her abilities. The singing and dancing 1
specialty of Lucky and Yost was out of
the ordinary and received a hearty en
core. Special mention should be made.
of the toe dancing of Miss Nettie Luckie.
The sweet voiced tenor of the Sierras,
Mr. Frank M. Forrest, rendering the
leading musical numbers in a most mer
itorious manner, and the rest of the
company was thoroughly rehersed in
their various parts, and many expres
sions of regret were heard on the con
clusion of the performance at the lim
ited stay in Washington, and upon their
return visit In April the management
may look for packed houses. Success
to “A Merry New York Maid,” who
certainlv got it. —Washington Record.
