A Novel Shower,

A dozen girls who lived for years as neighborhood friends showered one of their number, who is to be a Decem- Der bride, in this unusual manner. The hostess asked them all to meet at her house informally at o'clock; the bride-elect was asked to come at 5. In this way the hostess explained her scheme, which was as follows. She had material for each one to make the following articles: A dusting cap, three dusters, a broom bag, ironing holder, laundry bag, kitchen apron, clothespin bag, roller towel and a case to wind linen doilies on. The entire cost was added and divided equally and then each article was wrapped in den throughout the rooms. When the honored guest arrived, they chatted awhile, then the hostess announced that a fairy godmother had confide6 to her that there were packages of value concealed within the portals of the room, to be discovered only by a bride-elect and to the tune of bridal music. Whereupon the hostess sat down to the piano and played we'd bride hunted the hidden treasures, guided by the loud or soft tones on the piano. All the packages being discovered. they were opened and the girls set to work on whichever piece they chose. They pronounced 1t utility shower" and it certainly was practical, for the guest of honor said her mind was so in the clouds that she had never even dreamed of the articles presented. Besides, it was a jolly afternoon. Refreshments were English toasted mullins, orange mar malade, preserved ginger and delic- ious tea, brewed by the hostess.

For the Christmas Tree.
e. L. HEINRICH.
Give Us Men.

1t is positively refreshing to
see and to know a man who
knows and cares.
A lawyer who does not spend
his time in special pleading and
Jury fixing, but learns the deep,
significance and the wide applica-
ton for great legal principles is a
great blessing to his country.
A merchant who carries goods
of honest value and sells them at
reasonable rates is useful to his
town and country.
A physician who does not con-
tent himself with a cursOry look
at his patients symptoms and
follows that with an opiate to
quiet pain, but who makes a
thorough investigation and close
study of the cause and applies in
diligently a remedy is beyond
price.
A county official who will at
tend to his office as a servant Of
the people and not their master is
the kind the people retain in of
fee.
A newspaper which tells the
truth and stands for purity and
righteousness is an important fac
tor in the social and political life
of the people.
A school teacher who win at
tempt to do a full days work by
twelve O'Clock, or two O'Clock at
outside, and who takes no author
ity, but permits wanton destruc-
tion of school property; who list
ems in a desultOry fashion to a so
called recitation, not caring if the
pupil knows nothing of the sub
ject is a farce and a fraud. But
one who puts a conscience into
his work and teaches, andIrequires
a pupil to understand the lesson
before he leaves it; and requires
obedience, and inclucates a sense
of honor, is the greatest blessing a
community can have.
The former takes money under
a false pretense. The latter is
worth many times more than the
salary he receives. Happy the
community who has such a one,
wise the community who recOgni-
yes him; despicable the communi-
ty who fails to sustain him. We
have seen both kinds. May the
former cease to exist, and that
speedily. May the latter contin-
ne to increase till there shall be
no other kind.

Teacher Association Meets.

There was only one thing that could
have added anything to the interest or
attractiveness of the last meeting of
that is a larger attendance. There
was an unlimited supply of enthusiasm
on hand Dec. 4th. If you were one of
the teachers who were absent, just jot
down on a conspicuous leaf the date of
the next meeting, January 9Th, and
come to Macon willing to identify your
self with the movement for better ru-
raj schools.
At the last meeting the papers of
Miss Annie Scott and Miss Carrie Ad-
ans were especially interesting, and it
is a matter of regret that every teach
er in the county did not hear both pa
pers
Mr.. Collins of Brooksville made some
well-placed remarks on the general
work of a teachers association, and
made the motto, which was carried
that a committee on constitution and
bylaws be appointed. Misses. Nc
Morries and Lanier and Mr.. Collins.
The feature of the meeting which
the rural teacher could least afford to
miss was the address of Prof. P. P.
Garner of the A. & M. College, on
''Corn Clubs" Our people," he
said, cas- a whole are poor because
they have continued to draw on the
great bank, the. soil, without -replen-
ishing the deposit, until it has almost
refused to honor our drafts" Diver
siied crops was the burden of his plea
to the farmers of Noxubee county
The surest and most reliable way to
reach any people is through the child,
and the best way to reach the child is
through the teacher, The teacher
therefore urged to be wide awke to
the needs Of the community, to inform
herself as to the problems that con-
front the farming mass of the south.
The most efficient way of doing and the
most productive of results is by
means of Corn Clubs. Let every.
teacher be present at the next meet
ing and take any active part in the or
%ganization of these clubs in the coun-
ty. Programs for the next meeting
will be sent to each teacher during this
week. Make your arrangements to be
present. You cannot afford not to

The Best of Its Kind.

Many pleasing, true and de-
lightfuI homilies have been writ
ten about the "dear old State, -
says the Clarion-Ledger, as well
as about the "dear old farm" but
it was left for the Advertiser, of
Lexington, to print the best ar
ticle yet given to the public about
"dear old Mississippi" which is
published below for two reasons,
it's beauty and truth, and is en-
titled to the prize in any compe-
titive competition.
Says the Advertiser:
Occasionally a good man grows
dissatisfied with Mississippi. The
milk is too yellow or the honey
too sweet, and he doesn't like
them to flow over his land any,
way. So he parts with his farm,
sells his live stock and 'Other
things too numerous to mention
and moves to Oklahoma. Then
ely takes his good Mississippi mon
he and buys a farm, which today
is and tomorrow is not, because
the wind has blown it away. Or
he tries Colorado and slushes
around in the mud irrigating a
sprip of bottom so marrow that a
COW can jump over it. Then he
hears of Texas and goes down to
hunt the bag of gold at the end of
the rainbow. In the daytime he
scratches sandburrs out of his
horses flesh and at night cent?
pedes trawl over his face. When
his money is all gone he begins to
feel like he did when he strayed
away from home. He yearns for
good old Mississippi, and the
yearn sticks in his throat and
chokes him until tears come to his
eyes. He would give a months
work to see the COWS standing at
the bars, on his old Mississippi
farm, and hear the horn blow for
dinner. Memory is q marvellous
painter, and paints the things
that we love best. 1t pictures to
the traveller the corn silking in
the field he once owned, the cotton
whitening in the harvest, the clio
yer stretching away in a carpet of
red and green richer than the
rugs of Persia. 1t shows him the
elms as they whisper to his chill
dren at play beneath their points
to the roses in the corners of the
old fences, and in infinite detail
points to a thousand things that
touch the heart and its whimsical
power. Happy is the man who
awaRes from sleep to find that he
has wandered from Mississippi in
his dreams only"

Soil Survey.

Messrs. Gieb, ,Spann and Goodwin OF
the u. S.. Department of Agriculture
are in town and are already engaged in
the preliminary work of making a sol
survey of the county. They are now
preparing a map of Noxubee showing
roads, warehouses; and topography.
Several hundred specimens of soil will
be taken up and several specimens of
each kind of soil will be sen to Wash
ington and there analysed. There is
supposed to be about 20 different sorts
of soil here, and about four specimens
of each will be analysed.
The soil will be taken up by a kind
of augur which will be inserted three
feet deep and will preserve the arrange
ment of the dirt just as it lay in its
former position. For instance if there
is q inches of sandy land, a foot of
clay, then gravel or limerick, ETC.,
the specimen taken out will show the
depth, thickness and position of each
component part.
Every portion of the county will be
visited and thoroughly examined. Nox-
ubee and Adams are the only counties
in Mississippi being thus surveyed.
