ADORNED AND'UNADORNED

Beauty unadorned or anything

sound well in poetry, but not in
harmony with this age of pro-
sress and enlightenment.
Virtue stand as poor a show
ing as beauty, il unadorned. A
man or woman may be the soul
of generosity, yet their way Of
giving be so abrupt and ungra-
cious that the recipient resen,s the
gift. On the other hand it is pos
sible to refuse a favor in such a
manner that the refusal seems a
kindness. II is the adornment Of

tive.
The artistic use of adornmeni
constitutes one Of the main diff.
ferences between civilized and
uncivilized nations. The untutor-
ell savage shows an instinct fol-
adornment in the wearing of trim
kets and grotesque ornaments
The wearing Of feathers by ar
Indian buck and a society belle
"a headgear, is prompted by the
same desire for adornment, al.
through the latter would scorr
the insinuation of a similarity Of
taste.
II is the adornment Of the pri-
vate residences and public build
ings of a town or city that rend-
ers it desirable as n location. Fol
the house we live in and our sur.
roundings bespeak our character.
Neat premises, tasteful grounds
and streets are a sure indication
of refinement and industry, and
the best class of citizens prefer
such for associates and neighbors
The love of adornment, cult.

industrious citizen is the one thai

Mississippi A Corn State.

The State OF Mississippi has
long been recognized as a cotton
and corn producing State. In
deed, until within the past p
years, little at entiou was paid 10
the cultivation of vegetables,
fruits, etc, to which the soil OF
Mississippi is especially adapted
The growing Of alfalfa and the
raising of stock are comparative
ly new industries in that great
agricultural State. Ii was COT
LON, COTTON, COTTON, with
few acres of poorly planted and
poorly cultivated corn. Ii seems
incredible, but nevertheless a
fact, that the average yield OF
corn per acre in Mississippi for
the year 1905 was less than IL
bushels. and no; an acre of it but
would have produced 30 bushels
had the seed been selected, and
the ground properly prepared,
planted and cultivated.
Prof. w II Smith, Superintend
entof Public Education OF Holmes
County, Miss, whose duties take
him over the county, was impress
ed with the thought that these
unfortunate conditions could be
changed by interesting the young
men and boys of Holmes County
in the study Of corn culture
With this in mind he organized a
"Corn Club" among the school
boys of he county, and demon.
strates beyond a question that
the farmers of Holmes County
have a soil equal to / est found in
any of the so-cal.ed corn States
OF tn Union; and we will not be
sur prised if the results of the
boys experiments in Holmes
County does not increase the
average from II to 90 bushels of
corn per acre in the county.

Mississippi, address the UNDER
signea at Manchester, Iowa.

A Fine Production.

Faust" at the Opera House
Saturday night.
Faust" Goethe's immortal
drama, was presented Wednesday
night in the new Menominee
Theatre by Hubert Labadie, sup
ported by a most capable compa-
ny. The audience was composed
mainly of persons of exceptional
literary knowledge, and the in
depreciation of the great play was
greatly enjoyed.
In the role of Mephisto Mr.. La
badie was delightfully."- devilish,
and honestly earned the honors
of the evening. Mr.. Labadie
demonstrated that he is an actor
of genuine merit, and it may be
confidently predicted that before
many more seasons elapse he will
be starred by some prominent
firm of producers in New York
City.
F. Brewster Smith made an
ideal Faust reading his lines
with exceptional grace a I'd finish
He appeared to be admirably suit
ed TO the role.
Marguerite, the sweetly sympa
thetic heroine, was acted by Mary
Won Tromp. She happily dis
played genuine talent throughout
the play and captivated the audi
ence from her first entrance. Miss
Louise Du Settle gave a most salts
factory deliueation of the role OF
Martha"
The remainder of the cast con-
iributed. both individually and
collectively, TO the success of a
most enjoyable and edifying per-
. formance.-- Menominee, Owls, J
