"A Successful

lustrates the Value of
Advertising.

Atkins & Jordan's success in the
furniture business illustrates the value
Of advertising. These gentlemen with
small capital, only few years ago
started their business, which today by
the proper push and advertising they
have given it, have made it second to
none in the city. Today their house is
again full Of spring furniture on the
patterns the large furniture manufac-
turers Of the east are making for sale
this year. When you price them you
will find that they are selling at figures
below Memphis or other large or small
cities. These gentlemen take it as q
pleasure to please customer and are
only two glad to make what they sell
come up to their guarantee. Unlike
many houses. they give all their work
to home concerns and only send out Of
the city for that which can not be
made or bought from its stores or
shops. BY this method they say it
helps to build city and has proven
one Of the greatest trade appetizers
ever found. Such a business is credit
to any city and deserves a large share
of the city trade, which we wish for
Messrs. Atkins & Jordan, in long and
successful business career.

heads Of men and women floating, as 1t
were, upon the water. They were Ma

know.
Old Mother Earth is kind to her Ma
ori daughters. She does their cooking
for them. They never have to make d
fire nor put the kettle on. Each wo-
man has a steaming box OF. her own,
which is always at the right tempera-
ture. This box is merely an old dry
goods box, a shoe box or soap box, with
the top and bottom knocked out and
the bottom covered with Stats. It is
sunken in the earth over one Of these
steam holes, The food is dropped in
and an old piece Of carpet or cloth
thrown over it, ard In due time 1t is
cooked.
Cooking is also done in the boiling
pools. Potatoes are pared and put into
bags made Of net work Of rope, each
holding quarter or half peck. The
bag is then dropped into the pool and
a string which is fastened to 1t is tied
to stake outside. In few minutes
the potatoes are ready for eating.
Meat can be boiled the same way or 1t

In fact, almost anything in the boiling

people. They have lately taken up
some English customs, and now cele-
brate Christmas, when they make plum
puddings and cook them in these petty
volcanoes.

VISIT TO THE
CITY'S SCHOOL
Prof. Bass Looking After Some
500 Pupils.
A Well Regulated Public Educa.
tionaI Institution.
The Building Needs Enlarging in
Order to Give the Children
More Room in Which to
Ply Their Studies.

Last "Wednesday morning through
the courtesy of Prof. Bass we were
carried over the city's public school,
visiting the different rooms while reci-
tations were being heard. There are
enrolled in the white schools some 500
pupils whose bright and intelligent
faces from the little tots Of to the
high school students OF Is, impress
their visitors with the fact that they
deserve at the hands OF our school
board all the improved facilities made
to advance them in their studies and
physical development. Prof. Bass and
his able corps Of assistants are fully
awake to the interests Of the children
which is proven by the rapid advance
ment made in all classes. With the
large number enrolled they are pre-
vented to large extent of bringing
about the best results. For example the
room used for labratory is not
large enough for one-half the classes
that have to recite and make expert
ments 10 chemistry etc. Again,
we saw class of 40 pupils crowded in
to recitation room I4x18 and kept
there for an hour, which according to
medical science is not large enough
for one half the number as it only
gives l6o cubic feet of air when they
each require 300. The rooms are
also poorly ventilated and in a
severe winter the health Of the child
would be jepordized. To remedy the
defects in this building, we are told will
cost in the neighborhood of $1,000 and
after done there is nothing modern
about it. A better plan 1t looks to us
would be the erection Of modern
public school building large and COM
modius enough to receive all the chill
dren in the city.
Iti Is true the city has gone deeply in
debt Ia the sewage business, still this
should not in any way stand as bar
rier to the ad'snccmlnt ana iearring
Of our young who are to make the
future citizens Of the city. 80
With the revenue we receive from
outside, levee Of two mills will carry
on our school and pay for $40. 900
building in Ave or six years and this
is much less than jackson, Vicksburg,
Yazoo City, Natchez and Greenwood
require of their citizens as taxes for
school purposes. If Greenwood, city
Of its size can afford to float Sl5, 900 in
bonds to build apublic school Greenville
which is three times as large and with
s times the number of children to edu-
cate can certainly afford to add five or
$1,000 more and erect one here.
Pretty churches and school buildings
do as much to make cities as capital,
for where you find them capital will
come. We hope our school board will
take up the school building PROPOSE
tion and have it completed for next
term.

tents stir about Just like champagne,
and the gases now and then throw the
water up to height of six or eight
feet. The walls are Of different colors,

A Fathers Request
Of GreenviIIe Ladies.
Desires a Rose Planted on the
Grave of His Son, Who
Died Here Recently.

Few letters have we read recently
that touched our heart more deeply
than the letter printed below from Mr..
Bradford, the aged father of the young
man Jinks Bradford, who was in the
employ of Mr.. J. M. Hutsell of this city
at the time of his death Of small pox.
The simple request he asks of some
noble southern mother TO plant rose
bush over the grave Of his only son and
send him a bud from it each year, we
can assure him will be complied with.
Many have already volunteered to do
80, and hundreds OF others will when
they read his letter.
ss& Marshall, Mo-, March ., 1901.
Mr.. y M. Hutsell,
Greenville, Miss.
Dear Sir:I wrote you this morning
but I have one more, and perhaps the
last request to make Of you. I want
you, If there are any true southern
people in Greenville, to tell them that
the father Of the poor unfortunate boy
who was buried there few days ago,
is an old Confederate soldier, who gave
four years Of his early life to the cause
OF the South. And now, that my only
boy is sleeping in Southern soil, 1
kindly ask that some kind hearted and
sympathizing Southern mother, who,
perhaps, has suffered like affiiction,
will kindly plant pretty rose to bloom
over my only sons grave, and send me
one little bud each year from the bush.
/ mention the good old mothers, as /
thought it would be more likely to
strike sympathetic cord in the heart
of some woman who perhaps. has a boy
IN far away, distant land. If there is
one who will do this little act of kind
ness for me, / ask him or her to write
me just one little note, that may know
the name Of the good angel who will
do this for me, so that may send them
the heartfelt thanks Of an old and
grateful father, for this act of kind'Ress.
Now, thanking you again, for all you
have done, for thanks, is all that /
have to give you, / will pray that the
Great God Of Heaven, He who does
all things right, may reward you, and
everyone, as you deserve.
Yours, sincerely,
B. F. BRADFORD.
