Mitchell Robins.

1t is a sad duty that we have to per-
form in chroniciling the death of Mitch
ell Robins, son of Mr.. Paul Robins,
who was ~accidently killed by the dis
charge of a gun while standing in the
door of his neighbor, Mr.. Loftin's.
house. His going so suddenly all the
more grieves his loved ones andf'iends.
Mitchell Robins was born February
81, 1894 and died Oct. 81, 1909. He
was just budding into youth in the full
enjoyment of health and strength and
with a besuty of form and manliness
that made him attractive. The entire
neighborhood extend heartfelt sympa-
thy to his aged father who idolized his
only son left to his tender care in ear
ly childhood by the death of his mother.
To the father we would say "Your
boy was only a jewel leaned to your
keeping a little while. God in his wis
dom, called for it and in humble sub
mission bowed to his will"
A precious one from US is gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home
That never can be filled.

Tag Day Big Success.

Tag day in Tupelo last Saturday for
the benefit of Glenwood cemetery was
a success in every particular. This
undertaking was planned and chaper-
oned by some of the most highly es-
teemed ladies of the town, and the
pretty girls and young ladies were oui
in full force and everybody entered
into the spirit of the day. Quite I;
frolic and much merriment ensued
which resulted in the securing O.
$2OO.73.
The tageers were at their posts of
duty from early in the morning till late
in the afternoon, and every train en-
tering the town on that day was held
up until all the passengers had been
sufficiently tagged.
There were two general headquar-
tiers for the tasgers, the court house,
presided over by Mesdames Pledge
Robson, Julia Blair and W. L. Clayton,
and Hotel Monaghan, presided over by
Mesdames ]. D. Green, J. W. Hoyle and
| Miss Emma Edmunds. The taggers
were all started out from these head
quarters and reported at same when
closing their work. Quite a jubilee
was held at Hotel Monaghan when the
report from the days work was made.
The ladies of the Cemetery Associa-
ton wish to thank the public generally
for their contributions to this day, and
the girls and young ladies in particular
who worked so faithfully in their
cause. There is nothing more in tag
day than in asking the people to con-
tribute to any good cause, except that
fun and frolic is connected Herewith.
1t is a popular way of raising money in
most cities at present. The Home OF
the Incurables in Memphis is kept up
by contributions raised entirely in this
way. So after Tupelo had her houses
numbered the next step for her to take
was to have a Tag Day. and she had
her tag day last Saturday with ex
tremely satisfactory results.

Is Your Family Reading "Worth
While"

So much of current reading is mere
ly entertaining at best that the ques-
ton naturally arises. is it worth
while? Your sons and daughters are
bound to read something. They long
for stories that take them into the
other half of the world-the world of
adventure, of valor, of TO. tune-making.
The problem is to give them such read
ing without putting into their hands
the liter ature that is either silly or de-
moralizing. The editors of the Youths
Companion belieAe that a periodical
a be made entertaining and yet
worth while" and the Companion is
conducted OF that theory. And that is
one reason why more than half a mil
lion American families read it. The
paper is safe, but not dull. It's tales of
adventure illustrate the advantages of
fortitude and self reliance. Its stories
of character lay stress or the truth that
conduct Is never a mistake.
Every new subscriber will find it of
special advantage to send at once tt Q

only does he get the beautiful "Vene-
tian" Calendar for 1910 Autographed

Tupelo.
The parlors and hallway of this typ
ical ante bellum home were made beau
tiful by a display of some 200 of the
largest and choicest chrysanthemums
ever grown in this section Of the coun-
try. 1t was a treat, a genuine feast to
all lovers Of the beautiful to behold
such a collection of those lovely 1ow-
ers, Of every hue and variety.
This is Mrs. kincannon's second
year at chrysanthemum growing, and
by this exhibition she has proven her
self second to no one in this special
line of Horticulture.
From an alcove in the hallway the
guests were served with tea and waters

Winnie Clark and Vera Johnson, while
