A BIRTHDAY PARTY.

Mr.. L. E. and Miss Eunice Washburn
gave a dinner on Sunday, 29th, in honor
of mfrs. NJ. E. Timer, who that day
celebrated her S4th birthday. She has
lately recovered from a long illness and
her friends were only TOO glad TO well
ccme her back to their midst. Mrs. Ii
ner is one of the earliest residents of Bran
don now living. She knows in detail
the historical record of those early days,
and is full of "reminiscences of thrillinr
interest. She is the oldest member of
the M. E. church and as long as she was
able was regular attendant of the Sun
day school, carrying a number of children
with her.
The guests who had the privilege Of
being present on this auspecious occasion
were: Mrs. Emily Reeves, Mrs. L. A.
Runge, Mrs. ]. M. Shields, Mrs. Jennie
Coulson, Mrs. Sue Reeves Land, Mrs.
Rosa Reeves Devices, Mrs. Bette Lang
ford Wilson, Mrs. Ada Cottrel Mrs. I.
j. Owen, Mrs. F. Proctor McRae, Mrs
Agnes Worthington and Mrs. Julia Jayne
W Walker.
The dinner was one long to be remem-
bered for the good cheer which prevailed
at the banquetting board and for the su-
perior excellence of the viands and eIe-
quence with which they are served. The
menu consisted of twelve different courses
served in the following order:
Cream Consunlme,
Roasted turkey with jellies and iced
drinks,
Fried chicken,
Potato salad,
Pickles,
Veal loaf,
Asparagus,
Deviled eggs,

trell, Hugh and Carradine Washburn,
Mr.. w. G. Runge and little Misses Eu-
nice Worthington and Ruth ,Cottrell and
Masters Leonard Cottrell and Willie
Runge. Music and sparkling repartee
enlivened the hours following the feast.
The best toast given at the hospitable
board, quaffed of a sparkling beverage,
untinged by wine, was: To "Mother Ii
ner" and to those upon whom her dearest
affections are lavished; May she have
many happy returns of this day and may
those of her own who are present, live
to crown her days with loving allegiance
and tender service. Every guest present
joins in the sincere hope that there may
be yet many years in which to enjoy the
friendship Of "Mother Timer" and that,
at last, when life's long DAY is ended,
we may all meet her again in the beauti-
full Beyond, where there are no good
byes, but wnere all is light, life and love-

APPEARANCE OF
THE BOIL WEEV|L

This is the season of the year when
the boil weevil is normally expected to
emerge from winter quarters and appear
in the cotton fields. and the object of
this letter is to warn all cotton planters
against becoming panlc-stricken and plow-
ing up promising fields of cotton. This
has neen done in past seasons, and done
too often without any logical reason.
Among farmers in newly-infested wee
vii territory the impression is sometimes
current that the weevil should not ap-
pear before July or August, and earlier
appearance has been the signal for panic
and decentralization. Remember that it
is perfectly normal for the weevil to ap-
pear when warm weather comes, and its
appearance should occasion no alarm
On the other hand, all fields of cotton
should be closely watched, and a Wig
orous fight kept up to hold the weevils
in check. The methods essential have
been repeatedly published in the past,
that for the remainder of the season
and it will only be necessary here to state
that for the remainder\of the season these
must consist of rapid, shallow and clean
IullAN dtAOL1 lAlC OI
"a dust mulch, and the careful destruction,
by picking and burning, of all punc-
tured squares. A rigid adherence to these
methods has given good results even in
the worst of seasons, and while this
years crop is little late, the present
good weather will enable it to largely
regain this, and in general the outlook
Is fairly NoromiSino
In few years the farmers of southwest
Mississippi will be growing profitable
crops of cotton in spite of the weevil, and
will then wonder just why they became
so dsmoralized when it appeared.
We can make cotton under weevil con-
ditions, and every man owes it, not only
to himself, but to his community, to make
the strongest possible fight and demon
strate this fact to his own and to his
neighbors' satisfaction.
Very truly yours,

we have perhaps made a little progress
In some lines, but so small the casual OBJ
server fails to see it. Why is this so?
We are living in an age of progress;
fast age Why are we not keeping
abreast of the procession? 1t is certainly
not lack of talent; for Brandon and sur
rounding country have furnished many
whose names will adorn the pages of
history as shining lights, both in the
councils of state and nation. And where
under the canopy of heaven will you find
more favored country than this from
natural point of view? And yet we
don't succeed as other places do Where
are the raults? for they are many. We
shall not attempt to name them all, but
Just few: We need more homogen-
eous citizenship. We have very many
people living in our midst, and | am
sorry to say many of them native born,
who send TO Chicago for almost every
thing they buy, under the idea they ge5
it cheaper, which is not true If they con-
slider quality, freigh. charges, etc. And
yet they claim to be good loyal citizens,
when they are breaking down their home
and nome town to build up
a class who are growing rich off their
folly, and laughing at their ignorance
of business methods. This class of citi-
zcns WA never build up a town or coun-
try, and never is quite good while.
Again our teachers and school trustees
in procuring medals for pupils as prizes,
almost universally send off for them, in
stead of patronizing home jeweler how-
ever great and beautiful his display of
fine jewelry.
And again our wives and mothers
must needs keep up with the men, if they
can't vote. So they send to Chicago for
their table and glass ware. As evidence,
witness the hundreds of barrels of such
goods that come to our depot's annually.
This class of citizens as a rule, are the
loudest complainers of high prices, and
the injustice they receive from their home
people. But if that top piece they call
head could just weigh matters in a
just balance they would find they owe
them nothing. And now friends in con-
clusion, let US cne and all stop growing,
stay at home, raise our hog and hominy,
our cattle and mules, live at home and
patronize those who will help US in a
time of need; which may come to any
of us. And we will thereby build up
our own town and country. And while
we may not all be able to have autos, per-
haps we can have flying machines. And
when Brandon is fully grown, we can
fly away and help some other places to be

EDITOR CUNNINGHAM ENDORSED.

Ocean Springs News: The News is
pleased to note the strong personal en-
dorsement of Editor Cunningham of the
Newton Record by the citivens of his
town, growing out of the resolutions of
censure passed by the state legislature
when the celebrated bribery investiga-
tion was going on. While this paper
has never agreed with Brother Cunning
ham in his advocacy ,of Vardaman for
the senate we have all alone believed
in his sincerity and honesty of purpose
and from the seven years acquaintance
through reading his paper are thoroughly
convinced that he would not knowingly
misrepresent fact or injure any man.

GOLD CAMP
Plantation Increases at New
Bonanza-Other News
of District.

8. Johnson, who was in the city
.nis week from Newsome, reports
.be new camp in the vicinity of the
Harmon & Morrow strike is all ex-
o,,ament and hundreds of claims have
baen located in the past few weeks.
Mr. Johnson confirms the report that
the Harmon & Morrow property has
heen bonded recently. He is not
mite sure of the amount but thinks
about 100000 is involved. While at
present the population of the district
Is not conferred in any one locality
n il certain that the new townsite
which Messrs. Lapp and Surridge are
interested in, will soon become the
metropolis of the district This town
site is to be situated at the point
where Santian creek flows into the
river, and will probably be designat-
ed as Golden" There is an ideal
plat of ground, amply large for a lit
tie city there. At this writing the
locality is covered with shackS, tents
and buildings erected wherever suit
able and convenient spots could be
found.
The influx to the camp has been
steady and regular and mining men,
capitalists, representatives and pros
pectors, have Joined the throngs
there ever since the first strike was
reported. Mr.. Johnson believes that
there are many other properties in
the district as good as the one upon
which the original strike was made
and that the whole district will come
steadily to the front as one of the
principal mineral fields of the north
west.

HISTORY OF IDAHO

The history of the settlement of
Idaho by the white man is entertain
ingly told in book written by John
Haily, one of the early advance agent
of civilization in the northwest, and
one of the very first white men to
locate in Idaho. With the facts and
dates of incidents and events are
mingled humor, romance and tragedy,
all told in an impressive and inter
esting manner. The book is a valu
able addition to the literature of
Idaho and should be in every home.
To the pioneer, it will recall mem
cries of early days, and the present
and future generations will read its
stories of the Nez Perez and Ban
mock Indian wars and other pioneer
trials and dangers with thrilling in
tarest The book is an Idaho produc-
ton throughout.
