SCHOOL DATA.
Shows the Number of Educated
Children Among the White, In

parisons.

State Superintendent of Education
J. N. Powers gives out some very
interesting data in regard to the re-
Gently compiled census of edacable
children of the state comparison
of that with the figures of 1906, etc.
The recapitulation shows that there
are 301, SAT white educable children,
401 900 negro children and 407 In
dian children Of educable age in the
state, making a total of 712,044
These will each receive from the
state appropriation for the common
school fund, s1,.77.551 against ST.
-8S.451 in 1906. BY way of explana-
tion it should be said that the three
last figures represent mere frac-
ton of a cent, and that for all prac-
tical purposes each child is appor-
toned simply $1,75. In 1906 there
were only eS,3O2 educaDle children
in the state.
The 407 Indian children enumerated
are all in Leake and Neshoba coun-
ties. Leake having GO and Neshoba
339.
A comparison of the number of

Gus counties, which go to make up
the total number Of children upon
which the distribution of the state

is based follows.

PRAYER IN BEHALF OF RAIL.
ROAD MEN.
RAIL

az OH duHudl ulCCIIIlS Ol COlQuCI-
ors and engineers, some time ago,
Rev. Geo. B. Stuart, one of the favor
ties of the railroad men of the south,
was asked to take part and open the
meeting with prayer, says an ex-
change. He was loudly applauded as
he entered the hall and stepped up
on the platform to offer prayer.
The railroad men with their wives
and daughters present, reverently
bowed their heads and George Stu
art, with trembling lips and deep
emotion, offered the following pray
er, and as he left the platform a
dozen men gripped his hand, and
brushed a tear from their eyes: ]:
'Oh, Lord, we meet as abody of
railroad men, with our wives and
daughters, to consult for our inter
est. We are reminded that life it.
self is a train, and the road to heaven
is railroad; Gods truth the rail; ;
Gods love the fire, and his promi-
ses the signal lights. Oh, Lord we
recognize thee as the General Mana
ger of our road; the Superintendent
OF our train, and our Chief Dis
patcher. Thou didst survey the
right of way, and Thy Son purchas-
ed it with His blood Thou didst
lay the track and ballast the road
Thou hast furnished the rolling
stock, and art the owner and con
troller of it all. We look to thee for
all our orders, and Thou must sign
the checks for our daily bread. BE
merciful in handling our human mis-.
takes and blunders, and do not dis.
charge thy unworthy servants.
We are grateful for the Bible
Thy Book of Rules and Instructions
be merciful in our examination and
look with charity upon our failures
Thy promises and warnings are oul
headlights and hand lanterns, helr
us to use them soas to save our traiT
| from wreck. Deliver us from broker
rails, blind switches, false sig
nails and mistake orders. Be with
Jus on every high bridge Of responsi
bility, on every sharp curve Of emer
gency, and in every dark tunnel O
trouble let the light OF Thy promises
shine bright. Grant us passes fol
our wives and children, and let them
go with u.s. When the storms OF
temptation and trials come, save us
from the fatal slide and washout that
have wrecked so many trains on the
road of life. Let our way be kept Sc
cure by thy guardian care, always
show the steel rail and rock ballast
and be solid and firm and free from
obstruction. Deliver US from the
SHARES of our enemies. May the head
light of thy truth shine bright on 9

of our train. May our emergency
brake of strong will save us.
"As we make our last run, head

thy promises burn bright to the lasi
dark tunnel of death, and as we rur
through it into the grand centra

Its
Up to
YOu....

Il Oueees
For a long time we
have had people come into
our store and ask for this
, that or the other thing in
the Hardware line, and
we have had to say I'VE
are sorry, but we don't
keep that usually we
have had the enquirer
turn with a very pro-
nounced showing of dis
gust, and say Its funny
that somebody in Bran
don don't keep a line of
these goods-now I've
got to make a trip to
Jackson just for a few
cents worth of Hardwarel
We want to tell you that
if you have to go any
where's else for hard
ware now, it is simply
because you would rather
go farther and pay more
for the simple satisfaction :
of not buying your Hard
ware wants from the
Blue Front Store.
We think and we have
had good hardware men
tell us, that we have got
right now one of if not
the most complete hare
ware stores between
jackson and Meridian we
intend to have the best
one in the state but we
are kinder feeling our
way, trying to find out if
the people of this section
really want a place where
they can always find
what they want in the
hardware line when they
want it.
We want you to come
here expecting to find a
more complete line of
plows than you will find
elsewhere, we want you
to come here expecting to
find more different kinds
of Hoes, Rakes, Spades,
Shovels Forks, Potato
Hooks, Axes, Hames,
Single Trees. Collars,
Saws, Hatchets, Ham
mers, AIDES, Planes,
Trowels, Pincers, Augegs
Braces and tools Of every
kind, Wire Fence, Barbed
Wire, Crockery, Tin
Ware, Glass Ware, En-
aneled Ware, in fact any
thing and everything that
a Hardware Store ought
to keep than you can find
anywhere else, and you
will not be disappointed.
We are running our
Hardware Department
entirely separate from
the dry goods and other
lines which We still carry
and every hardware sale
is registered in a seprate
drawer of our cash regis
ter, this will enable us to
tell whether an up-to-
date Hardware Store is
needed in Brandon.
We want your trade in
every line except grocer
les and we will see that
you get the best deal
straight through If you
give US the chance.

For charming. light musical treat, one should hear the DeChantal Twins at the Coliseum. Two voices that are deliciously sweet, the quality of which is not heard on the vaudeville stage often. Their dainty burlesque work is clever and entirely void of anything in the least offensive to the most re- fined. Two exceptionally attractive sisters. exactly alike, bewitching. who know how to please and are called back again and again every night. An act that can command it's price in any of the high class vaudeville houses in the west
