Three warehouses will be run again this year?the Farmers by Boyett Bros., the Riverside by Jones & Coats and the Banner by Skinner & Patterson. In the horrible end that came to Joe Pulley last Monday morning the old saying, "sow the wind and reap the whirlwind" Is most fearfully demonstrated. Marie Pulley, the 12 year-old girl who committed the ter rible deed, did it after several hours of deliberation. Murderer though she is, she took the life of her father as consciencelessly as the average man would kill a snake. The deed is the fruit of her training and environment. Mr. H. L. Hall, who was elected Mayor of Benson in May, has re signed and Mr. O. A. Barbour has been chosed by the commissioners to succeed him. The commissioners of the town of Benson at a recent meeting placed a five hundred dol lar tax on dealers in Near-Beer. Their idea was that no person would think of paying that much to sell it. Mr. Nazro Stewart paid two hundred and fifty dollars and took out license for six months, thereby showing his confidence in the future of the town. Mr. W. A. Boykin, a leading far mer of Boon Hill township, was here Wednesday. He is discouraged over the crop outlook. He says that in his neighborhood and in the north western part of Wayne, near where he lives, th2 ciops are ihe poorest he has ever known. A good crop of wheat was raised in that section but corn, cotton and tobacco are short something like one half He says that his neighbors as well as himself have had a hard fight with grass. Most of thij crjin have been clean-a of grass but still the cotton is not good on account of the heavy, sobbing rains. He feels sure he has seen many acre* In cotton which will not make enough to pay for the guano used uni->" ti.e irop. Mrs. John A. Narron Entertains. Mrs. John A. Narron entertained a large number of ladies last Satur day afternoon in honor of the em broidery club. The entertainment was in the form of a lawn fete, and the grounds surrounding Mrs. Nar ron's beautiful home, were mado mora lovely than ever by many potted plants and jardeniers filled with cut flowers, while pretty rugs were laid at intervals on the velvet-like grass. The guests were met at the gate by Mesdames J. H. Kirkman and F. C. Hyman, who also served them de licious lemon frappe. After the ladies had all assembled, Mrs. Narron announced that the fea ture of the afternoon would be "tell ing Jokes," so the guests formed a semi-circle around Mrs. Kirkman, Mrs. Hyman and Mrs. E. S. Abell who were to be the Judges and award the prizes to those relating the most amusing anecdotes. The stories told were funny in the extreme, and after a half hour of laughter, the Judges retired for their decision. After some deliberation they requested Mrs. H. L. Skinner, Miss Mattle Pou and Miss Markham to draw lots for the first prize. The goddess of chance showed her par tiality to Miss Markham, to whom was presented a lovely fan, decorat ed in butterflies, while the second prize, a similar fan, was given to Mrs. N. T. Holland. Delicious refreshments were then served, and after some out-door games, the guests departed, with the conviction that Mrs. N'arron had giv ^n them one of the most unique and delightful entertainments of the year.

IA Fable For Critics! t ?? Once there was an Ox. lie was a fine, hefty Ox. He *t* | aJ could pull a big load. He never balked, but always liked to * * d* ?? straight ahead. ? , *|? But the Ox had enemies. ?? X There was the Flea and his whole big Family. "We ?* X don't care whether this Ox travels or not," said the Flea * * X and bis Folks. "All we want is some of his blood." Where ?4s upon the Fleas eternally pestered the Ox and gave hiin ? * ?? That Tired Feeling. ?? Then there was the Tom Cat and his brothers?the ? * I *2* T\ .. I i ' fT*l ? * uouDimg i nomases. "We don't know whether I this Ox is going the right ?L way or not," said the ?|? Thomases. "A nyhow, *t we'll scratch hi.s back for him." Whereupon the Felines jumped on the <?*?? back of the Ox and *t* scratched him for fair, which made the Ox ex oeodingjy aorrowfuL Then there was the y Fiste I hip-mid his Fellow "f* Fistes?a whok) ttttijr of X FisCes. "We cam how Hifrw the SJXi^gpCS," rf> said the "the V slow** the umbi&ji for us.
