Individual Details

Have you met Henry Furr? Read about him and what he did Saturday night in another column. He is the handsome young Lincoln County giant that overcame ‘‘The Terrible Swede’ in a wrestling match at the Dreamland Shows the other night. Mr. Furr—although he looks the part—is not an athlete; he is no pigskin chaser nor baseball fan put just a plain, all round farmer boy who has received his strength and sturdiness from the native soil with which he intimately cultivates association and from the breezes and sunshine that, drifting through our piney woods, have left a tonic in his system whose efficacy no physician can claim nor druggist prescribe Mr. Furr is a model of a ‘‘Grown in Mississippi" boy in more ways than the one noted.
