Mississippi at the Worlds Fair.

No Mississipplan need be
ashamed of taking a careful look
at Mississippi's exhibits in the
several buildings comprising that
greatest of aggregations of the
worlds products and resources
ever put together under the roofs
of buildings. While Mississippi's
exhibits are not as large and as
extensive as are those from some
of the other States, still, in a
number of respects, she excels
larger and more wealthy States,
and it is ali exhibition of the re-
sources and products of which
every Mississippian will be proud.
And what is true of the exhib-
its, can also be said of Beau
voir, = our State building. It is
a perfect reproduction OF the last
house of ex-President Jefferson
Davis, the furniture and fixtures
being taken from there to St.
Louis. Beauvoirn is not as
pretentious as some of the older

more than does any other.

Fjttin6 RECOGNITION.

The Board of Trustees of
Brookhaven Graded School pre-
scented Miss Florence Atkins
with an elegant silver coffee set
as a token of their esteem and
high appreciation of the valuable
and faithful service which she
has rendered the school in the Sc
ries of years she served as chief
primary teacher. Miss Atkins
has made a most enviable record
as primary teacher and it is with
keen regret and deep sense of loss
that the Board and the community
see her give up this work.
President j. B. Nalty and Mr..
F. HI. Hartman were the commit
lee appointed by the Board to
present this token to Miss Atkins.
In view of this action Of the
Board and that of the Faculty
which presented Miss Atkins on
the evening of the closing of
school with handsome cut-glass
water set, it is feared that other
members of the teaching force
will decide to change their sphere
of influence from the school room
to the home.
At their meeting yesterday, the
Board endeavered to hedge against
losing Prof. Scott, the efficient
and faithful principal, by extend
ing the period of his engagement
as principal for three years.
Prof. Scott has had number of
fiatteling offers from other schools,
and the Board wisely decided
that it would give him a more
settled feeling and at the same
time best assure the future inter
ests of Broohayen's splendid grad
ed school by taking this precau
tionary action.

she was owned by Mr.. John
Chapman of the Clio community
in franklin county. Any infor-
nation concerning said animal,
addressed to Lock Box 104, this

In passing through Brookhaven
on last Sabbath, we saw three
dead dogs lying in front of the
old marble yard on Monticello
street. We suppose there must
have been something of a riot on
the previous night.

Pleasant Hill church on LIST Sun
day in July.
Rev. Bethea preached two ex-
