The memorial services at the
Methodist Church last Sunday
night were we'll attended. DR..
J. S. Montgomery, Hon. W. W.
Magruder, DR.. J. c.. Hardy, pres
ident OF the A. & NJ. College,
spoke in the order named and
paid glowing and beautiful trib-
utes to the life and character of
the late lamented Bishop, Chas
B. Galloway, who was a distinct
loss not only to his church, but
to the state and nation. More
than a national loss for he was a
man of international fame and
his life and character will form
one Of the most beautiful and
lustrious chapters among the
great and good men in the his
tory of the world-one that Mis-
sissippians will ever feel proud
of regardless of sects or politics.

TAX PAYER.
Want the Board Of Supervisors TO Have
Proceedings Published In Some Paper
That Has General Circulation
Throughout the County.

Editor Starkville News:
I notice in recent issue of
your paper that you could not
give the proceedings of the
Board of Supervisors for the
fiscal year because the Board
bad divided the pay between
three papers IN the county. /
also see that the other town pa
per, the Times is IN the same
boat with you and declines to
publish the proceedings because
the division of the amount makes
the sum too small to recompence
the paper for the type setting,
and the only means of giving
this important information is
confined to a paper, published at
Maben in the extreme corner of
the county-a paper that has no
general circulation among the
tax payers of the county and is
published and circulates in a re-
mote section far from the county
seat. It looks to me like this
policy on the part of the Board
is what we might term pound
foolish and penny wise. The
Board should publish their pro
ceedings in at least one paper
published at the county site and
thus take the tax payers into
their confidence and let them
know what they are doing.

SELF CREEK ITEMS.
By Brown Eyes.

The farmer now is in despair,
About the rain So free:
He sits and frets about the crop,
And says, "what will become Of mer'
Encouraged by his comely wife,
Who speaks in strains so true:
He gathers mp his hoe again,
With cutting grass in view.
Mr.. Farmer is hoeing a few
minutes, when suddendly be-
coming discouraged, he throws
the hoe down in disgust. and
wends his way towards the house.
AS he enters the yard his wife
observes him, and asked the
cause of his quick return. He
answered this:
1.-The crop planted now is gone,
That once looked bright and fair,
The weeds and cookie burrs
Have got my corn, and made it thin
and bare.
The wide spreading stalks of grass /
see,
Which in vain did | persue,
But alas. before / undertook the same,
II had my cotton, too

The Baptist's Entertainment.

The entertainment by b e
members of the Baptist Church,
at the Church, IN honor of the
pastor, Rev. M. K. Thornton
Wednesday night was most
pleasant, enjoyable and brilliant
The roll call of the members and
devotional exercises were most
impressive and grand. Dain Gies
and refreshments were served
by the good ladies in the chapel
upon the church lot and the
grove illuminated by Chinese
lanters presented scenes most
picturesque. We doubt that
there was ever such Demon
stration of love ard esteem for a
minister of any church here on
the eve of taking his departure
for a new charge. All of this
the pastor appreciates, no doubt,
beyond expression, and will be
one of the happiest moments of
his life.
AS we stated several weeks
ago Mr.. Thornton will go to
Bessemer, Ala, and he takes
with him, not only the best wish
es of the members of the church,
but of the community where he
has resided for ten years.

GASOLINE CARS ON THE ERIE.

The experiments with gasoline motor
cars which the Erie Railroad has been
conducting for more than two years
bid fair 10 be successful The manage
ment realized some time ago the need
of frequent and economical passenger
service on branch lines where the traf-
fic WAS not large enough 70 justify or
binary steam trains and yet in volume
TO require service Of less expensive
character and entered upon q research
which took both time and money AMI
has In measure solved the problem
Tests were made with cars driven
by steam, electric and gasoline en-
gines but 50 far the gasoline car has
shown the best results in economy OF
operation and durability. Although the
question must still be regarded as
somewhat in the experimental stage,
the experience thus far gained indicates
that the gasoline motor will be tho
propelling power for districts where a.
frequent rather than a heavy service is
niece ssary.
The Erie has several branch lines and
divisions where even ordinary passenger
trains are Improbable that with a mo-
tor. efficient service can be given. max
ing the necessary daily trips, thereby
giving the public opportunities for jour
neys and at a lessened loss to the rail-
road.
Gasoline motors are In use on the
Wyoming division between Salamanca,
n. y. and Bradford, Pa, and between
Attica and Avon. n. Y on the Wyo-
ming division, the motor car is a hand
