Washington's Birthday was cele-
brated at the Hatley High School by
both patrons and pupils. An inter-
esting programme that had been care
fully prepared by the teachers was
successfully carried out 10 iot. The
life of the immortal Washington was
discussed from beginning to end. be-
ginning with the hatchet story and
following his noble deeds even TO the
grave. The most interesting feature
of the programme was a flag drill by
eleven girls whose very presence was
a true representation of 1.-The red.
white and blue AS they marched
into the school room with flags un-
furled and singing the Red, White
and Blue,'' it was noticed that tears
ran down the faces OF these present
who survived the conflict of the six
ties. Our worthy superintendent, f,
E. Cowley, then delivered an grafton
on the life of Washington, impressing
upon the young mind the great i'm
portance of taking the life of this great
man as a model for their own. The
afternoon was spent in beautifying
/ the school grounds by putting out
+ young trees and flowers.
/ The hail and wind storm that swept
over this section the 18th, is talked of
/ b. the older residents as having been
the most severe storm of hail
i experienced here in many years. Sew
eral buildings were blown from their
pillars, and timber and fences were
damaged to a great extent.
Quite a number of teachers from
this community attended the Teach
ers' Association at Aberdeen the 18th.

National Guard Inspection.

Col. John b. Mcfarland, Inspec-
tor General Of the Mississippi Ma
tional Guard, will start on his tour
of inspection of the State troops,
March 2nd. His first work will be
to review Company F, Jackson,
Miss, and will wind up with in
spection of Co. X, Canton. on
April End. The Aberdeen company
is scheduled for inspection, march
Goth.
Following Col. Mcfarland, the
State National Guard will undergo
inspection by an officer of the
United States Army, 1st Lieut.
Charles II. Danforth, who will start
with the Jackson Company. march
Is, and complete the tour with Co.
X, at Canton, April 10th. The
Aberdeen troops will be reviewed
April g. Both inspections will be
held at s p. m. of their respective
dates under instructions prescribed
by the Governor and Adjutant
General Fridge, within the limits
of U. s. War Department Militia
Regulations.
The improvement in the State
Militia service since the L. S. took
supervision of the State troops and
aided them by financial appropria-
ton is noticeable. 1t is also graft
flying to know that the State legis-
lature is providing better for the
militia, and to conjecture that sub
sequent sittings of that body will
still further foster and encourage
the troops.

The athletic meet between the
Hamilton High School and the
Caledonia High School on Feb. 20,
was quite a success. Fully five hun
dred people gathered that beautiful
morning to witness the contest.
The basketball game between the
girls was called at eleven O'Clock.
From the first It was shown that it
would be a very spirited game. In
size the teams were about equally
matched. Caledonia possibly being
a little larger. From the start, how
ever, the activeness of the Hamil-
ton players showed advantage over
their opponents.
In three minutes Hamilton scored
the first goal and in no longer
length of time Caledonia
scored. Hamilton winning almost
every toss up at center. and the
quickness Of the forwards and the
accurateness of the goal thrower soon
gave Hamilton a decided advantage
in score. At the close Of the first
half the score stood y to 1 in favor
Of Hamilton.
In the second half, Caledonia
made a very determined effort hat
availed nothing After Is minutes
more hard playing the game ended
10 to ). This is the first game of
its kind we have ever known in the
rural schools, however, we hope. that
others may profit by our experience
and success and see the great need
of more life in the country school
We hope to see in the near future a
basketball ground at every school
where the girls may spend their re-
cesses in profit as well as in pleas
ure.
The base ball game, although not
played by school boys altogether,
was fully as good as the basketball
At all times it seemed doubtful.
Both sides did excellent playing,
neither side showing advantage oveI
the other. Score 10 to 9 in
favor of Hamilton.
The day was excellent and every
thing went off in the most pleasing
manner. 1t will seon be the pleas
ure of Hamilton to report the day
at Caledonia. EMAUBA.

True WomanIy Beauty.

No woman can be truly beautiful
who has yellow complexion caused
by torpid liver. To be beautiful a
woman must have good health, and
this can be accomplished by ocea-
sionally using st. Joseph's Liver Reg
ulator (either liquid or powders, as
you like best.) 1t keeps the bowels
open, passing off the poisonous, effete
blood and assists in clearing the COM
plexion. All women should occasion

Too Honest for the Political
Zines

The speeches of Mr.. Bryan, deliv-
cred from rear-car platforms at Oko-
Iona and Other points during his re-
cent passing through this State, are
characteristic of the man. They were
optimistic, laudatory OF loyal democ-
racy, and hopeful of ultimate realiza-
tion OF governmental policies con-
ceived and advocated by himself. Nor
could he cast a horoscope for the par
ty OF mis- affections otherwise than
ultra favorable. Such men as Bryan,
earnest for integrity in government
and the uplift of the commonality.
are apt 10 be over-confident OF the
triumph of principles that would Sc
cure those ends. AS popular opinion
is swayed by coercion, bribery, power
and sectional antagonism. the political
prOgnOstications of honest men like
Bryan are made on false premises
and, therefore, strike wide of the
mark. II has been the fiat of fate
that few of the really great men of
tins nation have been elevated to the
Presidency. Calhoun, Clay and Web
ster were relegated for men of far
less ability. Horace Greeley, Tilden
and bryan have shared a like fate. 1t
was not because they were not great.
Could it have been that they were
too honest, impartial and humane for
the times2 1t is said that Mr. bryan
would become a candidate again for
the presidency. He is too much af-
fected TO improve the condition of
the masses to acquire the power OF
position in these times of money in
fuence and political corruption.

End OF the Shooting Season.

The season. for shooting quail closes
with this week. Pity these birds were
not protected throughout the year for
a period of at least three years. The
law gives boards of supervisors the
power to protect them for an indefi-
mite period, and in some counties the
boards have wisely done so. Hunts
men report quail as becoming very
scarce in this section. If something
is not done to give them time in
which to replenish the bird will be-
come extinct. The State statute pro-
tects quail for four months only. Dur
ing the other eight months the sports
man and the greedy pot hunter get in
extra work, so that the State law is
really of very little benefit, if not ex-
tended by county Legislators.
