the BOBBY, a game of Old Maid. Menu

were, Mesdames Edgar Elliott, Ran

Let's try the experiment this year in
Okolons, Of all trying to think OF the
home interests, first OF all those con.
siderations, by patronizing home bust
ness men and enterprises, never allow
ing a dollar sent away for that which
can be had here, and the money left
circulating where we can again have q
chance to touch it and push it along to
aid some other citizen in meeting his
exchanges. II all should pursue this
course for one year the change would
be so marked that the rule would
never again be broken.

okolona people can have but a faint
idea Of the benefit such an institution
as the new handle factory is to the
city, especially since it is already
demonstrated that it is in the hands Of
men thoroughly familiar with all tie
purposes and uses as we'll as capa-
BILE to push it's business to the highest
point of efficiency. Already the
owners have found it necessary to en-
large the plant, and still other additions
are to follow soon, and the manage
ment has orders ahead for their output
six months hence. It was q lucky day
for Okolona when Messrs Clark & Sons
selected this point for their factory,
The present plant will be practically
doubled within the next three months
The employees nov number nearly
half n hundred,
The greatest treat ever offered
people of Northeast Mississippi,
is that arranged for by the manage
ment of the 1. 1. & O. at Columbus, for
Saturday night Of this week, when
Paderewski, the greatest pianist the
world has ever known, will give one
of his inimitable concerts In the Col
lege Chapel. OF course 1t required 8
big guarantee to seeure such an attrac.
ton, and the tickets would seem 9
little high, and yet none win hesitate
to go on this account, for it is an op.
p~ortunity many will never have again
and have never had before. Tickets
reserved seats, $500, ordinary admis'
sions $500. But the people are goinl
from all over this section of the state
and they win not regret it. OkolonI
will send q big representation for thii
is one Of the most advanced musioa
cities in the entire state. The NJ. 80
railroad has made 3 rate Of one anS
one. third fare for the round trip ant
