RESOLUTIONS.

Special to The NetCS.
Brooklyn, Miss, April 9.-At the
regular monthly meeting of Perry
lodge No. 366, the following resolu
tions upon the death of Geo. L. Gil
lis were read and adopted:
Whereas, On the night of the 9th
of March, 1910, it please Al
mighty God in His wise providence to
remove from the walks of this life
our honored brother, George l.. Gillis,
in the very bloom of young manhood. .
Therefore, 1t is fitting that this
his home lodge, should give some
expression of appreciation of his act
i've and faithful service as a free and
accepted Mason, which we do in the
following resolutions:
Resolved, First, that we greatly de-
plore the loss of so faithful and ener-
getic member. In the death of our be-
loved brother, Perry Lodge No. 1866,
has lost a worthy member The COM
munity an honored and law-abiding
citizen, the Methodist church a loyal
and consistent member, his home an
affectonate son and brother.
Second, That our sympathies and
prayers are extended to his mother
and sisters and brothers in this hour
of their great loss.
Third, That our sincere thanks and

A POOR EXCUSE.

Noting the fact that some of the
Republican insurgents who Joined in
the vote of confidence to Speaker
Cannon seek to justify their conduct
by the statement that they could not
expect to join with their Democratic
allies in assuming the responsibility
for legislation, the Chicago Herald,
Republican paper, says: What pend
ing legislation that is really progress
i've and popular are the Democrats
fighting? When and where has the
party line been drawn in recent years
to the injury of the people? Did not
the Democrats support the Roosevelt
measures when they were being
pushed through congress? Did they
vote against the railroad bill, the
income tax amendment? Are they
not prepared to vote for conserva-
tion, for additional commerce regula-
ton, for tariff revision downward

THE LOST ART OF SPELLING.

There was a time when the old
fashioned three RS constituted the
only elements of common school ed
ucation and he who COULD read, write
and cipher was regarded as possessing
enough knowledge for every day need
Spelling was part of the first r, and
good spoilers were not uncommon.
One of the most popular amusements
in the rural districts was the spelling
be, old and young Joined in it, and
the blue back speller was better known
and more popular than the up-to-date
novel is today. Then educators came
to the conclusion that man cannot
live on bread alone, nor can he be said
to be educated, if spelling is his chief
accomplishment; other branches were
added one by one to the curriculum,
geography, history, physiology, elem
ents of agriculture and other things
that require much time and apDlica-
| ton on the part of both teachers and
pupils, with the result that the educa
tors of the state and school trustees
after some years discovered that good
spelling, like Greek fire, was about to
become a lost art. High school grad
ilIs;es, proficient in geometrv or in
Latin Irose and verse, showed d woe
fri ignorance OF spelling. It is true,
English, spelling is fearfully and won
derfully made; the old saying that most
rules have exceptions does not hold
good IN English spelling, for 1t s. en-.
ito be all exceptions withou, any rnies.
Still, the fathers and mothnT; o. the
same graduates who could not sJ;.p
Virg.t were better spoilers Ian their
children The Mississippi State Teach
i ers' Association awoke to the fact
some years ago, and there is Il con
certed movement throughout the state
to improve this condition Of affairs
One of the features Of the annual
meeting of the Association is the spell.
ing match. between various spelling
teams selected throughout the state.

BUYING BY THE PACKAGE.

Now that nearly all food products
eold by the retail trade for direct use
of the consumer are put up in cans or
other special packages, the matter of
weight is ceasing to be of conse-
ouence. Formerly all such articles
were bought by the pound, but it is
coming to be custom that the deal
ers offer their goods in 10-cent, 15-cent
or 2O-cent packages, without regard
tc weight.
: This interesting and possibly seri-
o,,a change does not begin with the
grocer. but with the factories and
ljscking-houses. Many articles can
70 longer be bought by weight, but by
tie package. For instance, writer
in a recent Northern publication men,
tions that it is not the grocer, but the
baker. who is responsible for under
weight bread. Thus the recognized
price of a loaf of bread is cents, and
fhe loaf is supposed to weigh pound
That was a normal state of affairs In
1900. when wheat sold for about sc
cents a bushel and -four for $3.50
barrel Now when wheat is $1.3O a
bushel, and flour $540, it is hard fol
the baker to sell the same sized LOAF
for 5 cents, and cents is so indelibly
fixed in the public mind as the price
of loaf of bread that it cannot be
changed. Sc the weight is lowered
instead.
when he buys meat, the consumer
pays 10, Is or 20 per cent more than
formerly; when ne buys groceries he
4 gets 10, IS or 20 per cent less than
he used to get.
This condition is widespread. The
New York superintendent of weights
and measures says:

to warrant New Workers in uniting in

SEA SILENCE.

The sky is darkened with a mottled
shroud,
Girting the shadows of the dimpled
sea,
Solemn and mute beneath immensi-

And sombre where it meets the banks
of cloud,
AS if it's fierceness had been duled
and cowed,
The soundless world seems in a
reverie
OF mystic thoughts that stealthily
Upon the drowsy moments rush and
crowd.
The deeps of silence none may pene-
trate,
Strange in the mystery as the hui
man soul,
That writes it's wonders on times

The hush of darkness gathers soon

And none may peer beyond it's awful

Beyond the ages everlasting roll.

THE BELEAGUERED CITY.

/ have read in some old marvellous
tale
Some legend, strange and vague,
Tht a midnight host of spectres pale
Beleaguered the walls of Prague.
Beside the Moldau's rushing stream,
With the wan moon overhead,
There stood, as in an awful dream,
The army of the dead.
White as sea fog, landward bound,
The spectral camp was seen,
And with sorrowful, deep sound,
The river flowed between.
No other voice nor sound was there,
No drum, nor scntry's pace;
The mist-like banners clasped the air
AS clouds with clouds embrace.
But when the old cathedral bell
Proclaimed the morning prayer,
The white pavillions rose and fell
On the alarmed air.
Down the broad valley, fast and far
The troubled army fed;
Up rose the glorious morning star,
The CHASTITY host was dead.
| have read in the marvellous heart of
man,
That strange and mystic scroll,
That an army of phantoms, vast and
wan,
Beleaguer the human soul
Encamped beside Life's rushing
steeam,
In fancy's misty light,
Gigantic shapes and shadows CLEAN
Portentous thru the night.
Upon it's midnight battle ground
The spectral camp is seen,
And, with a sorrowful deep sound,
Flows the river of Life between.
No other voice nor sound is there.
In the army of the grave;
No other challenge breaks the air,
But the rushing of Life's wave.
And when the solemn and deep church
bell
Entreats the soul to pray, !
The midnight phantoms feel the spell,
The shadows sweep away.
Down the broad vale of tears afar
The spectral camp is fed;
Faith shineth as a morning star,
Our spectral fears are dead.
