THE PASSING OF MOTHER.

Where is the old-fashioned mother
who used TO tuck US up in bed al
night after we had said our prayers
and then cried with US over the. pain
whose charity for our faults was in
finite. and who, as we came up more
and more into a consciousness of life,
was an unfailing receptacle for all
our troubles?
Some of her is on an excursion 10
California; :. some of her is in Europe.
Some is attending an afternoon ses-
sion at the woman's club; some is
blessing a modern intelligence office;
der oil at forty miles an hour, and
some is playing bridge.
Mother, while she lasted, was a
good thing. but the necessity for her
is now past Her patient, cheerful
face, her obsolete notions. her thrift,
her folded hands when resting and
her genuine piety have all gone out.
We realize now our mistake. She
meant well, but she didn't know. We
think of her with that kindliness,
that hearty sympathy, that broad
minded tolerance which We are ever
ready TO accord TO sincerity, even
though it is misplaced. And then it
must be remembered that at the time
she existed there was in reality a
necessity for some one like her. We
didn't know so much then as We do
now. We were more or less depend
ent on mother, as crude as she was.
Now, however, that we are educated
SO early and there is so much enlight-
ened method about everything, We
really don't need help from home.
The newly born infant will soon be
able to rise from his crib and go him.
self to the nearest hospital, where
he 4will have his tonsils removed, be
properly vaccinated and inoculated
with the latest serum, and go back

The Fire Alarms.

The number of fire alarms occur
| ring yesterday is sufficient TO make
| interesting Information as TO the
manner of giving the alarms and the
| significance of the strokes. This in
formation has been very kindly given
by Fire Chief Carter.
The Gamewell system, which has
been put in force here within the
last year, is operated by means OF
electric batteries connected with the
gong and two instruments, one for
regulating the strokes and one for
registering the ward in which the fire
occurs. The system operates as fol-
lows: Upon the alarm being received
at the station, the ward being known
a special plate regulating the strokes
of the gong, the ward plate, is placed
on the instrument, and by means OF
lever the gong is started and the
signal repeated as long as desired;
but our signal is regulated 10 repeat
four times. The ward number is
first given, then nine strokes, the
ward number again, and then nine
strokes, and so on for four times.
The municipal divisions OF the city
are made use of by the fire depart
ment for its wards, and are as fol-
lows: First ward, First street south
to Fifth Cor Market) street south;
Second ward, Fifth street south 10
Eighth street south; Third ward,
Eighth street south TO city limits
south of Main street; Fourth ward,
city limits north of Main street to
Eleventh street north; Fifth ward.
Eleventh street north TO Seventh
street north; Sixth ward, Seventh
street north to First street north.
One special signal has been INSTALL

privilege to enjoy, which, though a
little cold, is very welcome. after a
few cold, bad days. We had a very
| cold rain and sleet to fall on Friday
night, about the frst / ever knew to
come so early.
The health of our town is fine.
The people ara about done gath
ering their crops. and the merchants
! are hustling all the time, as there
is plenty of cotton coming in. It is
reported that most OF the farmers
have gathered more cotton than they
expected to. eA
Quite a large congregation was
present at the Baptist church Sum

not get here.
Miss Beatrice Thompson has re-
turned from Elliott, Miss, where she
went TO visit her grandfather, who
was very sick. She reports him much
improved.
Messrs. Ed Falkner and Morris
Livingston, two of Vernon's popular
young men, visited here Sunday.
Mr.. Williams, a young man who
was here in the summer selling BIZ
bles, was here Saturday collecting,
and paid us a pleasant call
The people here were little sur
prised Saturday, and not so much
either, when they heard that Mr..
Hargrove Williams and Miss Mettie
Johnson had gone to Vernon to get
married. We extend TO them our
heartiest congratulations and good
wishes. Both parties are mem bers
of excellent families, and are popular
in society circles. They have host
of friends who wish them a long,
happy and useful life.
We hear of quite a number of new
house to be erected soon. Lots are
in great demand and bring a good |
price. People who own much land I
seem to be, slow to sell, while others |
have none to spare. But that is the
way to build a town-sell off lots and
and let the. people come.
The new bank seems to be doing I
q good business.
We understand that Mrs. Hattie
Gillian is to take charge of the pri-
mary room in the school here tomor-

Thanksgiving will soon be here,

fed that we are doing right and living right,
We need not care what they say.
Fear of punishment is too low a motive to
inspire true natural development of the indi-
vidual. Its companion motive, which usually
travels with the other accompice. is
the promise of reward equally wrong ethi-
Cally. These are like certain cheap cleaning
preparations to remove grease spots from
clothing: they may temporarily gloss over
the stain, but they do not really destroy it.
Stains moral character must be removed

How to Kill individuality
THE Turkish bath method of training chill
dren is absolutely guaranteed to kill their
individuality: the mental and moral system
cannot stand the succession of lightning
changes. 1t is the method of some parents
who rush their children from the fever heat
of extravagant loving to ice cold Reproduction
for trif1e. The child may be basking
in the strong of a tropical garden of paren-
tai tenderness and sweetness; but he slips
cog of instant obedience or makes a COM
pound fracture of some home blue law. and
that child finds the gone from his sky.
thick heavy clouds darken his horizon. cold
blast of condemnation and dispeasure rises
suddenly. and he finds himself sitting the
shady side of an iceberg of parental displeas-
ure. The punishment Is about eleven sizes
too large for his infraCtlon of home discipline.
A documentary sense of in justice that rankles
springs up in the childs heart, though he may
not be on sufficiently familiar terms with his
vocabulary to translate this vague sentiment
into a formula of protest. A child cannot
stand these sudden changes of temperature.
We guard our window plants against such ex-
tremes: surely the delicate plants of child
hood worth equal care. Praising a child
for a certain act to-day. and blaming it for
a similar act tomorrow is part of this same
system of extremes. No child can run its
mental or moral train of thought properly.

The wise parent will ever study the indi-
viduality of the child and seek to preserve
it and to stimulate it. Parenthood is not pro-
prietorship: it is merely trusteeship. TIE

aration for its later self governing selfhood.
