TUPELO
Every one is busy again—some
picking cotton, others hauling to the
gin, some getting ready to garden.
Bud Ferguson, of Beedeville, was
a Tupelo visitor Saturday, en route
home from Newport.
Ben Taylor was* up from Grays a
few days last week, mingling with
his old friends.
Jim Jacobs, of Revels, was a busi
ness visitor here Synday and Mon
day.
A good many cases of the German
measles are in our neighborhood.
Mrs. Lovs Collier and Miss Mae
Marlar returned from Newport Sun
day.
Grover Gardner has sold his pretty
home in Tupelo and has located at
Jelks, engaging in the mercantile
business.
The busy housewife is beginning to
do her spring cleaning and setting
hens, the latter occupation helping to
win the war.
The roads are getting good and the
cars are running without any trouble
again.
We think the knock-out in the
Bone Dry law a dirty shame. We are
observing meatless and wheatless
days, making every sacrifice we are
called on to make, to help win the
war—then to allow the much needed
money to be wasted for such—it is
too bad. Will a good, law-abiding
and patriotic, God-fearing citizen
take advantage of it? We say, no, in
big letters. A big difference is no
ticed since the knock-out, in the
bringing of suitcases filled with the
stuff. If we were men we would be
men in every sense of the word.
Miss Bernice Taylor is visiting her
many friends in and around Tupelo.
T. A. Morris and family spent Sun
day afternoon at his old home in tlm
country.
Ed Morris reported 19 cotton pick
ers for Monday at $1.50 per hun
dred. Some are paying $2.00 per
hundred.
Now that the weather is getting
fine again we hope to see a good at

JAPS PLAN ACTION
IN SIBERIA SOON.
Harbin, Feb. 20.—The Japanese,
according to reliable authority, intend
to take action in Siberia at an early
date and there are evidences that the
Japanese have long been preparing
to carry out this movement.
The situation in Siberia is consid
ered extremely grave, owing to the
inability of the Cossack general, Se
menoff, head of the anti-Bolsheviki
movement in that vast territory, to
secure allied support for which he
has appealed to the Japanese.
General Semenoff’s movement now
is officially reconized and a general
committee has been formed at Har
bin, which will act as a general staff.
The Russian consul, M. Popoff, is the
chairman of the committee.
Two thousand Germans have been
armed and are drilling at Irkutsk, the
capital of the government of Irkutsk,
in Eastern Siberia, and, according to
an official report received from a for
eign consul, the Germans are making
preparations. to bring much larger
forces there.
