FARMERS INSTITUTE LECTURER COMING.

Prof E. r. Lloyd of the A. & M.
College, Starksville, Miss, writes
Hon. E. W. Breland to announce
him to Lecture in Leakesvllle, Miss,
at Court house 4 P. NJ; Friday July
End 1909, to the Farmers of Greene
County. Lloyd has won quite bit
of renown over the state delivering
these Farmers Institute lectures, and
the farmers of this section will do
we'll to avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to hear him on Agricul-
tural themes. He is furnished fund
by State Appropriation to make these
lectures, so it will cost nobody di-
rectly cent. and you really lose If
YOU fail to come. We take the liber-
ty of inviting the farmers of adjacent
territory to be with us on that day
and enjoy this treatment, Fruitdale
and Burbank people especially coulo
derive benefit from it.

See Timetable of the G.. & S. I.R.
r. which we are commencing to in
5ert in this issue. This will prove of
4 great deal of convenience fer ref
9rence by those in Greene County
who have occasion to travel that way
and will doubtless influence by its
ready showing of connections that
IAN be made, to take this route those
ghOare wont to take others. It's mat
ter of common regret amongst the
people that more time tables are not
published for their direction in jour
neying In some states the Legisla-
lures have felt so strongly the i'm
pact of this sentiment, as to feel con-
strained to construct laws COMPEL
ing the publishing in at least one
paper in each county of the sched-
ules IF all lines operating in or con-
tigious to such territory. The rail
roads are really gamers by the ex-
pense for it induces more travel by
the ready presentations of the actu-
alities of time and connections, and
most travellers are saved money, be-
cause it points them to quicker con-
nections and faster transits. So far
DIS the newspaper is concerned, it OF
course means more business to 1t
provided same is to be had in cash
or equivalent of actual travel needed.
The Hepburn Bill as conserved by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion bars the payment of such work
by transportation for interstate
journeys, so On the whole publishers
are not to be widely benefited by
such work unless paid in currency
of the realm. Fortunately that act
does not apply to the G. q S. L. as
it lies wholly within Mississippi
boundaries and the editors can swap
work with that railway.

MADE FOR REPAIR BRIDGE.

At the adjourned session of the
Board of Supervisors held Saturday
June 10, contract was entered into
with Austin Bros, of Atlanta, Ga,
for repairing the Bridge over river
here, weakened and injured by the
food. That concern submitted two
proposals to the Board for the job;
one was to put the Bridge back in
good shape for the lump sum of
1876, the other to do all the work
thereon and furnish sworn to item
zed cash account with Is per cent
added for profit. The Board decided
to accept the latter The plan is to
rebuild the two wooden spans wash
ed away, and straighten up the iron
piers leaning on iron span, east side
)friver, by incasing those two piers
in piers hollow and large enough to
slip over the old ones and leave an
open space around to drive seven
piling down, and concrete up. This
is believed will stiffen up the sup
ports to desired resisting power to
the freshet waters, and the driven
piling in them will anchor securely
TO the bottom of river. II the cut
off is put through above across the
bend now, without further shenannec-
ging, this outlay of money will prob
lbly be well invested, otherwise flu
ture freshets may do more damage to
the bridge; suppose the Board has
mad this lesson sufficiently brought
nome to them. We pointed it out in

Little jeans parents were enthusiast
tic bridge-players and Jean was more
or less familiar with the sight OF
cards. At Sunday school one day the
teacher had been giving talk on
David. Finally she held up little col

me who this is?" Out of the silence
piped little jeans voice: Il think it's

SPRING FOOD.

Climate and season should
largely determine food selection.
A Cuban would not thrive on
an Eskimo's diet. Our summers
and winters diet should differ
materially. More fresh fruit
should be eaten in spring and
summer. The intake of starch
should be reduced as the spring
opens, and meat, if used at all,
should be eaten sparingly. Let
tuce, unlocked cabbage, celery,
and tomatoes, valued in the or
der named, can often be eaten
alone with advantage, when
there is little appetite for heavy
food, especially by the nervous
woman and the school girl.
Cucumbers, knocked and with
out vinegar, may also be eaten
as spring food medicine. The
best time to eat these Is IN the
morning when a heavy meal
should never be eaten In the
spring. Lemon juice may be
substituted for vinegar and olive
oil is ut specially Incompatible
with gr-en vegetables.

APPLES A NATURAL MEDl-
CINE.

Both as food and as natur-
al medicine the apple is entitled
to the position it occupies as
the queen of fruits.
"An apple a day will keep the
doctor away" But it should not
be eaten with foods that re-
quire long time for digestion in
the stomach. 1t is best eaten
aIone-in the morning by the
sedentary person who should
not eat a heavy meal, or in the
evening by those who eat a sub
stantial breakfast and a noon
meal, and need to eat lighter
supper on account of the neces-
sity of providing the best cor
ditions for sound sleep. If ap-
plies don't agree it shows the
real need of them. They al
ways agree with a healthy child.
Begin with a little and increase
gradually to four or more, If
normal and vigorous. And eat
it uncooked.
