pleged themselves to present the
cause of the Orphans Home to
their people on the first Sunday In
February. They determined to
make a vigorous and united effort
to raise, within the next six weeks
the money necessary to meet the
conditions of DIR. Sexton's S donation
of $40, 600 to the Home. I take
this opportunity of requesting the
pastors of the North Mississippi and

Sabbath School Superintendent
of both conferences, and all friends
of the orphans to join in with Us
in making the FIRST Sunday In Feb

Beautiful Violin Recital.

On Monday night at the Indus
trial Institute and College a large
and appreciative audience was
given one of the musical feasts OF
the season. The occasion was the
first violin recital of the present
school year by the pupils of Miss
Wren Pearson, who now is at the
head of that department. Miss
Pearson was ably assisted by her
talented sister, Miss Eleanor Pear

concensus of opinion was that the
performance of the pupils proved
that Miss Pearson made excep-
tional progress with them and
proved her unquestioned ability as

only 2 cents to 215 cents for cattle,
live weight, while in the counties
where the ticks are stamped out
the price of cattle is, now and to-
day, from S cents to 611 cents, live
weight. The difference is fully Z
cents per pound, live weight. And
so the shrinkage is on a poor runt
of a steer, which will only weigh
500 pounds, horns, hoofs, hide and
tail and all is now at least SIS.
If it were a 1900 pound steer it
would be $45.
Now just add together all the
causes of loss stated above, and
others not mentioned, but which
exisr, and who can doubt that the
estimate of Mr., Secretary is true
and just estimate7
THE REMEDY
But now Is there any real and
sure remedy2 Yes, indeed. And
by the use of the approved remedy
the ticks have been utterly stamped
out on II, 900 square miles, an area
Of almost twice of the State of Mis-
sissippi, within the last two years.
This remedy can be stated in four
words, viz: GREASE AND LOCAL
QUARANTINE.
Yes, anything used, ordinarily
grease, whether crude petroleum,
cotton seed oil or cotton seed, will
quickly kill all and any ticks to
which it is really applied and made
to reach and to cover. 1t always
has, and it always will. And the
best and cheapest way to use only
grease is by way of an emulsion OF
crude petroleum, or black oil. For
this emulsion take one part of COM
mon lye soap. Dissolve this, or
in its place one pound of common
hard soap in two quarts of hot
water. Then mix with two gallons
of crude petroleum. This is the
emulsion. And then for the emul-
sion to use, take one pint of the
emulsion and one pint of water,
and apply this with a sponge, or
swab. Apply5It thoroughly SO as
to reach all ticks. Do this with EN-
ergy for three weeks, and at the
end of that time you will have a
crop of ticks, dead and Iifeless-
and clean cow brute.
And now Uncle Sam has taken
a hand, and Congress has voted a
sum of $3.50, 900 to assist the Peo-
pie to eradicate and stamp out the
cattle ticks during this year, and
will vote $4,000 for the purpose
of aiding in the eradication next
year. Mr.. Secretary Wilson will
direct and control the fund this
year, and so on in the years to
come. But Mississippi must do its
part. If Mississippi will do its
part with Jealous cooperation the
ticks will be soon eradicated. But
if the people, and the State and
County authorities are Indifferent,
and take no interest in their eradi-
cation, Mr.. Secretary will not
spend dollar What the people
want is full and frank and exact in
formation. This they especially
want. This letter has been ex-
pressly written for the readers OF
the Reveille. Print it for them,
Mr. Editor, and comment fully
