A GOOD
SUGGESTION

Editor News:
Work ON the road being built from
Brandon depot to town. under the
supervision and control of a govern
ment engineer and government ex-
pert road-builder, has already stimu-
lated the people OF the entine coun-
ty in the direction of better roads
The very poor condition OF roads in
this county and the general desire
OF the people for better roads are SO
manifest that it is not necessary to
say more along that line. Tt seems
that the only road question open for
discussion is as to the best method
of improving roads. | believe thds
TO be the most opportune time to
take systematic and effective steps
toward the improvement of the roads
im this county. The people of Brian
dom by the display of good Judgment
and the outlay of al little money, can
materially improve the public roads
leading into town and greatly help
the town and also those who come TO
town Suppose we collect 500 or
more by private subscription to be
spent i'm the Improvement OF the
roads for q distance OF three miles

III win subscribe $25 OF the amomt
myself. Them organize road COM
mtttee to handle this money and lei
lit all be spent i'm actual work ON the

no doubt be perfectly willing to Lei
the roads Within three miles OF tne
towns be worked under the direction
of the board committee and also Ae1
all funds collected from road hands
be expended ON the road under the
direction of the road committee. A
strict account should be kept and
filled showing minutely all receipts
and expenditures. believe that
I'M this way there could De Sucn an
Improvement in our roads as WOULD
astonash us aal, and the increased
trade and business OF the town will
more than repay us for the money
spent This road matter once prop
eT1y begun will grow In interest to
the people and after 500 is spent,
the EesuN win be SO gratifying that
it will be no trouble to raise more.
If all the people of Rankin county
were to live one year where they
had good roads and Them return to
this county, they would fall over each
other trying to do something to dm-
prove the public roads.
If the people of the town manifest
amy interest in this matter, will
take the matter up and see what can
be done about it.

CHlLDRENS DAY-FLAG DAY
Mrs. Amanda L. XanderS Tells of lier
Experiences While Visiting in

M RS. AMANDA L XANDERs.
Last Saturday morning bright
and early about five hundred
children began the sale of tags
in all parts of the city. The
price paid per tag ranged from
five cents to twenty-five dollars,
The tags were made of heavy
light brown paper-the same as
is always used for express tags,
steamship tags etc, and read;

GERS we're so pleased with the re-
suit of the children's sales, which
amounted to nearly $500, that
they have practically decided to
name a day early in June, as
their annual tag day. The money
will be used to build a home oi
detention for homeless and
abused children, adjoining the
Y. w. c. A. The sales of the
children were but part of the
reverence for the day. The So
ciety received a number of large
contributions that will be made
annually towards its maiute-
nance. Many Of the stores pro-
vided special counters for the
sale of tags, the clerks were Sc
lected from the society volun-
teers, and did fine business all
day long. The children peue-
trated offices and stores and tag
ged employers and employees.
They tagged carriages, autos,
wagons, baby carriages, i'll fact
everything it wac possible to
tag, aud every thing and every
person wore their tag as though
it was a badge OF honor. I do
not know how or where the idea
originated, only that in Phila-
delphia last year the children
collected over $4,000.
Following Children's day on
the streets, was Children's day
in the churches. In all the
churches VIII ere special ser.
vices were held, there were
beautiful and in a number oi
churches, elaborate floral decora'
tions. The ministers delivered
special sermons to and about
children, which were instructive
to the old as we'll as TO the
young. In spite of the decided
ly inclement weather the atten
dance was large at all the ser
vices. The programs included
vocal and instrumental music
recitations and tableauX, alSt
specially prepared exercises
called 1.-The School Of tn

etc. 1t was a day of song ant
story and was of intense intcres
