There is no servant problem in
Japan, nor is there likely to be, so
long as servants continue to receive
such consideration there. Their pay
is small indeed, but for it they render
not only manual service, but mental
judgment and faithful protection Of in
terests in whatever sphere. This boon
Is a bequest from the late feudal sys-
tenn wherein the household servant
might rank above farmer or artisan,
and stayed by the same family for gen.
erations. Conversely, the servant is
treated we'll, as was the New England
"help" in contrast with the modern
girl" OF an evening maid servants
join the family circle at a respecta-
BILE distance, TO sew OF listen to the on
versation, or on occasion to join in the
parlor games. Callers must exchange
salutations with the servant that ad-
mits them, and will be received by the
same in case the mistress is absent.
An advantage peculiar to the ances-
trail system is that, as the woman
grows older, she receives increasing
honor and attention. Hence she takes
pains that the quieter color and smaller
patterns of her dress, the smaller size

In the Memphis Commercial
Appeal of last Sunday there APP
peared a fine article describing
the Industrial Institute and Col
lege in this city and giving a de-
tailed account of the splendid
work which is being accom- plish-
ed there under the skilled direc-
ton of Hon. A. A. Kincannon, the
distinguished president of that
institution. The article was
from the pen of Mr.. John B..
Patterson, the enterprising local
correspondent of the Commercial

upon his skill as a writer.

Now if Oak Ridge can offer
better advantages and can sup

Lets hear from one of your

ton and consolidation of the three
smaller schools with the five
larger and better equipped
schools of this township, thereby
reducing the mum Der of schools
from eight to five, and then con
verting ourselves into a separate

a nine months term instead of
seven, fer the same amount of
money that is now being spent

CALEDONIA DEPARTMENT

On account Of circumstances
over which we had no control we
were prevented from sending in
communication last week, and
this we regretted very much as
it was the first week we have
missed sending in a letter since
this department was established
more than four months ago. We
will try and not let this happen
again soon.
To morrow will be an eventful
day in the history of Caledonia
and community and we are look
ing forward with quite a good
deal of pleasure and anticipation
to the outcome of the Farmers
Institute and Mass m e e ting
which is to be held here on that
date, This meeting is the sequel
10 the educational rally which
was held here on the Doth ult.
and we expect some decided
steps to be taken toward the con-
solidation of some Of the smaller
schools with the larger and bet
ter equipped schools of the DIS
trict and establishing a central
high or graded school here at
Caledonia.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we were more
than amazed to see in Sunday s

tion in the same issue in which

if allowed to go unanswered. for
even II hours, just at this time.
We have wondered, even since
reading said article, if Citizen"
intended TO quote from the
School laws Of Mississippi" or
from the laws of the Catholic
Convent" where she must have
attended school when she says
that they are living in accordance
with the lane" which says. Let
not thy left hand know what thy
right hand doath Are we to
believe from this that such a
sentiment as above expressed
prevails in the Oak Ridge school?
Surely no such doctrine is being
taught in any school in Missis-
sippi, and more especially in the
Oak Ridge school. If so, it is
high time that Caledonia should
extend the invitation to the
patrons of said school to again
unite with US snd by cooperation
assist US in Building up a school
that is truly worthy of the name.

broader type than above laid

ATtesia.

On Monday the 10th. we had the
winding up shower. Rained for
two hours and wet the ground
clear through into Georgia. This
rain was followed by a clear sky
and a gentle breeze from the
south which dried the ground
out, and on Thursday evening we
could pillow on high lands. The
days grow warmer gradually
and no donkies have succomed
to the heat The week closed
with the mercury at %. Sun
strokes will be in order next
week.
Crop prospects for both corn
and cotton have made a decided
change for the worse. There
was very little sunshine and but
few warm days during the wet
weather, and the crops did not
suffer from 'scald as they have
for the last few days. Twenty
five per cent. of a corn crop and
forty per cent. of a cotton crop is
the present estimate IN Beat Five.
1T is an i'll wind that blows no
good to anyone" We have the
finest pastures and the latest
cows we have had in years. Some
of our farmers seeing they will
make no corn have cut down
their hogs feed and the supply
of pork will be reduced.
1t is to be hoped that the
Farmers Institutes that are
rambling about loos over the
country will devise ways and
means for the farmers to get
cheap feed stuff for another year.
| would advise every one to cut
and save every stalk of corn that
will make an ear. It is fine feed
for winter and spring. 1t will
be we'll to save an abundance of
hay of every kind and it will help
out the corn crop.
Every farmer should try, and
now is the time to try, to get in
a good turnip patch. They are
better feed for hogs and men
than sweet POTATOES. Radishes
is also a fine feed for the swine
family and easily grown. Get an
empty -four barrel, put in layer
of straw, then a layer of Irish
potatoes and fill the Darrell
thusly. In a few days the pota-
toes will be nicely sprouted.
The first to middle of August
they are ready to plant for your
second crop. Dry them thor
oughly in shade before putting
through the sprouting process.
You can have fresh potatoes all
winter from your own garden if
you will try. Guess [ had better

sionately declared that the voice of
the nation should give an answer in
order that the world might understand
once for all Russia's position. The
emperor, he added, should consult
with representatives of the land as his
predecessors did before the days OF
John the Terrible. While papers
abroad now say that peace could be
concluded without dishonor, If peace
were made they would declare it dis
graceful. What the people wanted he
(M. Souverin) cannot affirm, but the
idea Of ending the war at this juncture
Is abhorrent to him and. he believes,
to the Russian people. If the inscrip.
ttons on the banners of demonstrators
and the action OF some Of the zemst-
vos In favor of peace represented the
voice of the nation it would mean the
collapse Of all of Russia's aspirations
and farewell to her position in the Far
East and her dreams Of an open road
to the sea and the Creation Of q yellow
peril In Asia. which would threaten
civilization and mean Russia's retire
ment into her Muscovita shell and the
disappearance from the stage of this
great power. The army, M. Souvenir

then reviews sorrowfully the record Of
bitter humiliations suffered thus far

concluding he declares the government

riots and revolution mean the down.

that the owner Of the mail box has Az
