Arbor Day

Columbus is easily the prettiest
town in Mississippi. Her lovely
homes, her well shaded streets.
her clean, grassy lawns and her
splendid side walks attract the
attention of every one, it is
the most beautiful city in Missis-
sippi. Why can't Tupelo do as
we'll? Let's have Arbor Day and
everybody set out shade trees
and in a few years our little city
will rival Columbus in beauty of
situation. What is more restful
to the eye these long, hot sum-
mer afternoons than a lovely
cottage freshly painted, fronted
by green lawn of closely cut
grass, q nice, new sidewalk run
ming along the street and some
splendid shade trees spreading
out their branches like the arms
of guardian angels to protect it
all from harm? A hint to the
wise is sufficient.-Tupelo Jour-
nal.

THREE GOOD ITEMS
Cotton Mills and the Price
of Cotton.

The following interesting and
timely articles are from the last
issue of the Rural South:
If cotton brings a fair price
next fall, property values will
likely be maintained; bnt if cot
ton does not bring good price
the farmer will suffer-not only
in the price he receives for his
cotton, but in the depreciation for
his land and other property.
With organization a good price
can be obtained.
If by any chance a condition
should obtain to prevent the far
mers getting no more than z or 8
cents for the next crop of cotton,
the depreciation therefrom in the
value of property in the South
would be more than the entire
crop of cotton would sell for. Is
it not height of folly not to
organize and thereby insure a
good price?
Over half the mills and over
half the spiddles in entire South
are in the Carolinas. North Caro-
ina, with 243 mills, leads in the |
1umber of mills. South Carolina |
With 1929, 408 spindles in the
number of spindles. The great
cotton growing State of Texas

Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer

The secret is out and Colum-
bus can go on living just as il
the riddle had never been asked.
No it can't either. Colum bus
is not going to be what it was
before. Its houses are going to
be brighter; its people a little
more prosperous-they are going
to have some of their money left
to buy other things with.
The answer to the riddle is
this: you can paint building
with fewer gallons of Devoe Lead
and Zine paint than with mixed
paints, and it will wear several
times as long as building paint
ed with lead and oil mixed by
hand.
There's proof abundant of it.

will soon be proof abundant of
it in Columbus.

Death of Mrs. Winfield.

After several months illness
from tuberculosis, which was
patiently borne, Mrs. Matte Win

sister in West Point last Satrlr-
day morning at 1880 o'clock, and
was buried at 9:3O o'clock the
same evening at Cedar Bluff,

rites.
Mrs. Winfield was the wife of
Mr.. ID. H. Winfield, and 40 years

and children, has resided in this
city for several years, and went
to West Point only after her con-

long her life or benefit her.

Print tn e News

a newspaper belong to it's read
ers. The subscriber enters into
an implied contract with the
newspaper, under the terms of
which he becomes entitled to
the news.
The newspaper becomes his
agent, employed to gather for
him current facts of interest
and concern to him, and in
rendering this service it is
under obligation to him to pub

and nothing but the truth. 1t is
the duty of the publisher to do
this SO far as is combatible with
the requirements of decency and
good morals and the peace and
progress of the community.
In order, however, to live up
to this contract, the news
paper must be operated not in
the interest of any class, but in
the interest of all the people

COLUMBUS MAY BE
A COTTON SLATER
Base Ball Enthusiasts Will TRY
To Gain Admittance.

1t may not be generally known
and will probably be a surprise
to many of our people to learn
that Columbus has formally en-
tered as an applicant for fran
chise in the Cotton States lie ague
for next season.
The movement has been car
ried on quietly and vigorously
and there is bright prospects for
her admission, the promoters be-
lieving that there is enough en-
thusiasm over ba- e ball to iusti-
fy this course. This circuit now
includes Baton Rogue, vicks-
burg, jackson, Meridian, Mobile
and Gulfport and with Columbus
and some other town of the state

would be formed.

Among the several educators

jackson special, the name of DR..

and made a splendid record in
that Office. He is said to be a
man of exceptional executive
ability, and it is stated that he
can control influences as well as
students. 1t is also urged in
his behalf that he is a man of
dignity, energy and administra-
tive ability, and is held in the
very highest regard by the peo-
pie of his native state.
While the trustees declare that
whatever of tangible
nature has been developed
concerning the succession, it is
nevertheless a fact that they
are canvassing the field very |
thoroughly to find a successor of |
Chancellor Fulton. Furthermore

feasible plan of disposing of
these matters, and he believes
that the necessary steps should
be taken for the assembling
of such a body.
That the Southern portion of

TO MAKE OUT NEW
PENSION ROLLS
Applications TO Be Filed Early
Next Month.

The filing of new pension ap-
plications with the Chancery
clerks of the State will De com
menced early in July, and on the
first Monday in September the
county boards Of pension exami-
ners will meet for the purpose OF
passing on the applications.
State Auditor Henry, who is
also ex.officio pension commits
sioner, estimates that the pen
sion rclI increase this year Will
not exceed 8 per cent, and it may
not reach that figure. Last year
the increase was nearly 8 per
cent.
The roll now contains 1921
pensioners, a large majority OF
whom are in the prorata or nom
preferred class. Last year they
received S30.10 each, and in the
approaching distributions OF the
annual fund of $3.50, 1000, they
will not receive much less than
$50 each, if the auditors estimate
is verified.
A great deal depends, however,
on the increases made in two
preferred classes, pensioners in
which they receive S125 and S75.
Ii these classes should show a
heavy jump the non preferred
allowance would be cut down ac-
cordingly.
Only one change OF conse-
luence was made in the pension
avs by the legislature at the
ast session. Blind widows were
placed in the S75 class, but only
few will be added on this ac-
count. An effort was made dur
ng the Legislative session to in
'rease the pension fund to $780,
'OO annually, and to abolish the
county boards of examiners and
'lace their work in the hands of
ne boards of supervisors, which
'as the law when the pension
und was first created, but both
fforts resulted in failure.-Jack-
