Want State Assistance.

Now Rankin county is talking
about a Fair. There is no reason
that old county should not have
a Fair-in fact, every county in
/, the State should have one, and
make it a feeder for the State
Fair, the best of everything
shown at the county fair being
sent to the State Fair to enter
into competition with the same
products from all other counties.
In this connection it is inter-
esting to note that Gov. Noel
told meeting of the business
men of Jackson and directors of
the State Fair during the course
of his remarks at a mass meet
ing a few nights since, that the
State Fair was the biggest thing
in the State, that it was accom-
plishing more good than any
Fother one agency. and that he
was heartily in favor Of having
the Legislature appropriate $40,
900 at least to the enterprise
next time it meets. The cash
thus appropriated by the Legis-
lature to be used exclusively in
the payment of prizes on the
products of the farm, including
livestock, poultry, etc.
This would make the Fair a
matter of concern and interest
sure enough, just as is the case
in several other states. The
State Of Illinois contributes $10,-
/ 900 per annum to this cause, and
Illinois has the biggest Fair in
the United States. Other south
ern states make similar appro-
priations, but in smaller sums,
of course. Louisiana puts up
SIS, coo. Alabama SIS, coo, Ten
nessee, $1,000 Arkansas,
Georgia and other states do
their part, and it has been found
to pay great returns.
The farmer and stock-raiser
will strive a year for a $500
prize, whereas. he could not af-
ford to do anything to capture a
little $50 premium, such as the
State Fair of Mississippi is able
to offer. In view of the fact
that the farmers of the state
would get back every cent of
such a Legislative appropriation,
it is to be hoped Gov. Noel will
recommend that at least $25, 900
be appropriated yT5, COO to be
used in permanent buildings and
then $40, 900 per annum for pre-
miums. It would prove the very
best investment the Estate ever
made. -Carrollton Conservative.

Resolutions of Respect.

At a regular meeting of Pela-
hatchie Lodge, No. 276, Free and
Accepted Masons, held at their
hall, Nov. 28, 1903, the following
resolutions expressive of their
sentiments and respect were
adopted:
That, whereas Almighty God
in His wisdom has seen fit to
take from our midst our worthy
and long honored brother, j. D.
Ferguson, therefore be it resol-
we'd,
That our order has lost one Of
it's Oldest, brightest ana most
useful members. He had filled
every position in our lodge with
credit and honor, both to himself
and to US. He was a model Mas
ter Mason.
We have lost a good and true
brother; the community an up
right and just citizen; his family,
q noble husband, q wise and ten
der father.
We tender to his family our
sympathy in their bereavement.
These resolutions shall be IN
corporated in the minutes of our
Lodge, a copy sent to the bereav-
ed family, and a copy mailed to

DR.. S. w. Robinson.

The sad intelligence of the
death of DR.. S. w. Robinson at
his home near Goshen Springs,
Miss, on Nov. 9th, 1908, has
reached us, and calls for a tribute
from the same feeble pen, that
three years ago wrote of his
beautiful golden wedding. 1t has
ever been a pleasure to speak a
word of ccmmendation for this
friend when we loved so we'll
and it's now a melancholy one, to
lay this slight memento on his
new made grave. Our heart,
like scores of others, is filled with
sorrow when we realize that this
splendid character is no more
For surely the Angel of Death
ne'er reached forth His hand and
stilled a kinder, nobler neart than
that of DR.. S. w. Robinson. He
was truly the widows and or
phan's friend, and many a home
today-beside his own is made
desolate, because his kindly smile
will no longer beam to cheer its
inmates.
He was born in Orangeburg,
S. c., in 1885, came to Mississ-
ippi when quite a youth, prepar-
ed himself to follow his chosen
profession and soon rose to that
high pointof estimation in which
he was held at the the time Of
his death.
AS a physician he stood second
to none among the large circle Of
confiding patrons whom his skill
had drawn around him. At the
age of twenty he was married to
Miss Jennie Johnson, one Of
natures purest, noblest women,
and settled, atthe home in which
he died, among the people whom
he loved, and whose love for him
was fully demonstrated by the
great concourse that followed
him to his last resting place.
AS one who has tasted Of the
Bitter cup" we offer our heart S
deep sympathy to his children,
grandchildren, brothers and sis
ters, who loved him, with a de-
yotion akin to idolatry but what
shall we say to his bereaved COM
panion, whose heart has held his
image from youth to old age
and whose life has been SO en-
twined abL Ut his own, that now
she feels as though she is naught
without him. Would that we.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1908-12-03

might speak some word of con-
ISOLATION, but human sympathy is
too narrow to cover a sorrow like
this and now with reverence
for our departed friend we say
of him as of one who lived be-
fore him
THY task is done; thou art no
more.
They've borne thee to an honored
grave.
Whose proudest monument shall
be
The many lives that thou hast
saved. !" A FRIEND.

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the
least cost depend largely upon the
material chosen. Paint is simple
compound and the ingredients can be
easily tested. The solid part or pig
ment should be White Lead. The
liquid part should be Linseed Oil.
Those best informed on painting al
ways buy these ingredients separate
ly, and have their painter mix them
fresh for each job. Before the mix
ing the test is made.
Place pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece of
wood. Blow the flame against it and
see what it will do. If it is pure
White Lead, little. drops of bright,
pure metallic lead will appear, and
with patience the White Lead can be
completely reduced to one globule Of
metallic lead. This is because pure
White Lead is made from metallic
lead.
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. 1t
they will not change wholly to lead,
but leave a residue, it is clear that
some adulterant is present.
If you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request a blowpipe free
to any one about to have painting
done, so that the White Lead may be
tested. With it will be sent hand
somely printed booklet having as its
frontispiece the Dutch Boy Painter, .
reproduced from the original paint
ing. This little painter has become
noted as the guaranty of pure White
Lead.
