Judge Lippmann’s Answer.
Editor Independent:
I was considerably surprised
to find my name mentioned in the
Independent last week, particu
larly so for the fact that your
correspondent at or about Eight
Mile said “ ‘We’ understand that
Judge Lippmann of Simmons’
Switch is paying for the lumber
used in building the calaboose at
Tupelo,” and pertly asks, “What
about i£, Judge?”
I can not guess who wrote the
query, a\i he, she or it, seems
plural, While the news percolates
but becomes singular indeed at
the finish, as the items were
, signed “A Reader. ’’
“A Reader” is hereby inform
ed that Judge Lippmann is not
paying for the lumber now nor
at any other time, because he
sold the lumber and agreed to
wait on the city of Tupelo, but
he is not complaining because he
has not been paid in full, but
does demur to a garbled state
ment and feels sorry for “A
Reader,” who evidently is as
badly benighted as was the dog
who barked all night, annoying
his owner, who asked his negro
servant what ailed the dog.
The negro said, “Boss, don’t
you know what’s the matter with
that dog?”
He replied, “No; what is the
matter with him?”
“Why, Boss, he’s done scented
but can’t locate.”
I hope this explanation will
satisfy “We” and “A Reader.”
L. Lippmann.

At a meeting of the board of
trustees of the State University
Wednesday in Little Rock plans
were received and discussed for
the building of a $35,000 girls’
dormitory; a $25,000 boys’ dor
mitory; $5,000 hospital; a$15,000
dairy building, and an $8,000
chemical laboratory.
The cotton report on Arkansas
for this week says the plant is
still small and grassy, is not
forming well, and there is some
complaint of insects and rust.
Where cleaned it is making a
fair growth. Early corn is good
but late is poor.

Won the Series.
Newport made a good start in
the manner in which the home
team handled the Prescott visit
ors, winning the entire four
games of the series.
The double-header of Wednes
day resulted in scores of 6 to 1
' and 3 to 1. The next series of
i games will be with Poplar Bluff
on the local grounds next week,
and a stiffer contest is promised
by this crack Missouri team.

“The Arhansavv Ed ” a Success.
■Jackoonport, July 20.
Tiie play entitled “The Arkan
saw Kid,’’ which was presented
by the Fraternal Home Enter
tainment Company, under the
auspices of the Fraternal Home
lodge, proved to be a grand
success.
Every part and femur' was up
to the standard and far beyond
the expectations oi the audience.
It was side-splitting from begin
ning to end; not a dull moment.
It was a continual roar from
start to finish, with the excep
tion of the pathetic parts, which
were rendered finely.
The house was comfoitably
filled and all enjoyed the even
ing to the fullest extent. Praise
is certainly due the young peo
ple of Jackson port who were
interested in this play and who
made it a success.
Great credit is due “CowBoy”
Smith for his services, as the
scenic effect, staging and direc
tion were under the supervision
of this gentleman. The young
folks of this little city have a
warm feeling for Mr. Smith,
who is a perfect gentleman
in every sense, as well as his
wife and daughter, are estima
ble ladies.
The remarkable feature of this
little play is Drougnt more 10
light when it is learned that the
young folks have had only a
little over two weeks’ practice
and rehearsal.
Mr. George T. Wilkins as stage
manager filled the bill to a nice
ty, and always had an eye out
for the little things, the minor
items that are always so essen
tial.
Mr. Stinson Robinson, in the,
character of Reuben Thacker,
“The Arkansaw Kid,” was sim
ply superb.
Miss Mamie Riddell as Chick
could hardly have been better.
Miss Allie Anderson in the
character of The Old Woman was
excellent; she brought down the
house.
Mr. Elmo Riddell as Zeben
Cunningham, the old farmer,
acted his part with great credit.
He received several encores.
Mr. John P. Jones, in the
character of Frank Blandon, the
villian, was magnificent. His
appearance on the stage was as
good as could have been, and his
acting was superb.
Miss Ella Anderson, as Mary
Blandon, Frank’s wife, is cer
tainly to be praised. She did
well—simply fine.
Mr. F. B. Morgan, as Bill
Taylor, the tramp, managed to
keep the house on the qui vive.
. 1 . • 1 _X • _1
it was pameUL, uicuuaut auu
comical at different times. Mr.
Morgan is an actor of no mean
ability, and last night, though
not in good health, he did
splendid.
Jim Jones, the tough, was
nicely presented by Mr. Finis
Massey, as well the part of
the Sheriff, which was taken by
Mr. Bent Powers. They both
need praise.
Though amateurs, they were
. truly all stars, in one sense.

Business Course Scholarship.
Onp of the best business col
leges in the South is the Mem
phis Commercial College. The
famous Byrne Simplified Short
hand is taught there; also prac
| tical bookkeeping and other
, studies of a thorough business
course. The graduates of this
’ school never fail to attain good
positions. The Independent owns
a $40 scholarship in this school,
which will be sold for $25 to the
first applicant. tf

YELLOW FEVER
There Is No Occasion For Alarm
Remember The Lessons of The
Epidemic of IS°S.
As we are now threatened with
another visitation of the dreaded
yellow fever it is well to remem
ber the experiences of the last
occasion. In all sections where
yellow fever made its appear
ance it will be recalled that per
sons who kept their stomach,
liver and bowels strong and
active were not affected by the
disease; while others apparently
healthy were stricken down.
These latter were all more or less
habitually constipated, bilious or
victims of bad digestion; as a re
sult the blood became impure and
the vital organs were unable to
resist the deadly fever germs.
XT AtIT 1 C fVio Ei mrv tnvonQrp ■fnr
what is to follow. Get your fam
ily and yourself in shape to re
sist the disease. You don’t know
when you are exposed to it;
every man you meet may be
affected, and if you put your
preparations off from day to day,
you may be too late. The sensi- i
ble course is to begin at once;
taking Prickly Ash Bitters, that;
marvelous system regulator and
blood purifier. Use it regularly
every day. Half a wine-glassful
each morning after breakfast
will keep your bowels open and
healthy; it will also strengthen
the stomach and digestion, purify
the blood and by stimulating the
liver and kidneys all bile and
uric acid impurities" will be
driven out of the body. In short,
it puts the system in perfect
order. Remember 1898. That
was a record year for Prickly
Ash Bitters. In the sections
where it was used the most there
were fewest cases of fever. You
connot do better in this hour of
danger than to make use of the
means which experience has
proven to be the best for fight
ing off this terrible scourge. 78
