Port Gibson Female College
Opening.

The Port Gibson Female Col
lege opened its 7Ist session Fri
day morning, Sept. 10th, at eleven
o'clock, with impressive exercises.
The songs were sung by the Col
lege Choir, led by Miss Bell, the
vocal teacher.
The opening address was deliv-
cred by the Rev. R. L. Benn, pas
tor of the Presbyterian church of
this place. He spoke to the girls
in most scholarly manner in hap
by vein, be enjoined upon them
the conservation of time, saying
that it was as essential as the cul-
tivation of other talents,
Rev. G. H. Galloway, presiding
elder of the Vicksburg district and
president of the board of trustees,
gave an amusing as well as very
instructive address. Both of the
speakers dwelt with emphasis upon
the meaning and import of the
word Economy.
Mr.. Hawkins, president of the
College, supplemented these ad-
dresses with timely words of coun-
sci.
The opening was quite auspi-
cious, both because of the beauti'
full weather and the large number
of new students.
AT two in the afternoon, Miss
Blorine Levy, of the class of 1870,
addressed the students in the chap
ell, giving in the most charming
manner, a description of her recent
tour through Europe. Brilliantly
she narrated her visit to London
Paris, Munich and Oberammergau.
While listening to her glowing
words, you felt almost as if you
stood In Westminster Abbey a
mong the historic dead of all ths
ages; as If you sailed by the Rhine
beholding the CastIed, vine-clae
borders: at Versailles, you saw, il
fancy, the beautiful, ill-fated Marie
Antoinette; and at the Passion
Play, you were awed by the mys
terry Of Christ's death, crucihxior
and ascension.

Mr.. J. /. w. Ross sent the Rev
ellie, this week, sheath of as fine
specimen of rice as has ever been
on display here. There is no
question that much of our land rs
thoroughly adapted to rice culture,
as the above specimen shows. It
is questionable, however, if it
would pay for many of our people
to go into this crop as a marketa-
BILE product. But enough could be
raised to supply the needs of the
county.

Revs. I. L. Neill and M. M. Black
assisted the students in a religious
service in the College Chapel; and
at night Rev. R. L. Benn preached
good sermon to the study-body
at the Presbyterian church.
The attendance of boarding and
local students is much larger than

ulty of fifteen teachers and officers
is busy organizing and starting of
the work of the session.

The Cattle Shows at the state
Fair.

There is always great interest
felt in the Cattle Shows which are
a part of our State Fairs. The
Show this year will beat all previ-
Gus attempts, "out of sight," as
breeders of both beet and dairy
cattle are already seeking increased
space. The wonderful improve
ment in registered cattle, in this
state, has been on the increase all
over the state SINCE the opening OF
the State Fair, and the Fair will
have this year a "Show as is a
Show"
One has only to read over the
premium list to understand that
many a wise breeder will bring his
herds to contest for them. Pre-
miums are offered for Jerseys in
the amount of several hundred dol
lars, by the Fair Associations the
same for Holsteins and an equal
amount for Devons.
In the Beet class, premiums of
equal value are offered for Red
PoIIed. Hereford. and Black Alb.
erdeen Angus, aud Durhams, or
Short Horns.
The American Hereford Cattle
Breeders Association supplements
the prizes for Hereford literally.
The Red Polled Cattle Club of
America is even more generous in
special premiums for their breed.
The State Fair Association offers
a premium of one hundred dol
lars ($Ioo,) as Grand Champion
Sweepstakes in the beef cattle
class; and fifty dollar premium
as sweepstakes in Dairy cattle
class.
A splendid Special Prize is of
tered by w. J.. Davis of Jackson of
two hundred dollars, provided 9TH
er breeders will raise an equal a.
mount, all to be added to the
Grand Champion Sweepstakes.
This would put five hundred dol
lars into the purse of the winner of
Sweepstakes
Mr.. !. M. Mathis of Crystal
Springs also offers fifty dollars each
for the best bull, any age, any
classl and for the best COW, pro-
yided the same amount is raised
by other breeders.
These special prizes will bring
many a fine specimen to the Cattle
Show. Good awards are offered,
also, for the best Sheep and Goats,

Clean Up and BeautIiy Day.

The work of our schools is seri-
ously handicapped by bad physical
conditions in and around our school
houses. Dirty and uncomfortable
buildings, neglected yards, absence
of out-houses or neglect of same,
all tend to breed diseases and in
iure the weak child mentally, NOR
ally, and physically. Such condi-
tions are coming to be regarded as
shame and It is hoped that con-
certed effort will be made to i'm
prove these conditions. To this
end we have designated Saturday,
October 1st, as Clean Up and
Beautify Day.
Every teacher, pupil, patron and
friend of schools is respectfully
urged to join in this effort to bring
about ideal school conditions.
This meeting should open with
the organization of local School
Improvement Association, or short
business session of the same if one
has already been effected. Com
mittees should be appointed to see
that the work is planned and car
ried out along the lines most need
ed. The exercises should consist
of scrubbing windows, walls and
floors; clearing away weeds, logs,
stumps and debris; erecting flag
poles; putting up pictures; build
ing, cleaning, or scrubbing out
houses; trimming trees; sodding
yards; filling gullies; making
walks; planting shrubs and flow
ers; cleaning wells or springs;
putting up shelves for books, lunch
baskets, fuel, and water; or max
ing, any other improvement that
the school needs. If it is impos-
sible to celebrate this date as
s'Clean Up and Beautify Day." do
so on Friday, September goth, or
the nearest available date before
school opens.
1t is hoped that each community
will have its "Clean Up and Beau
tify Day" well written up in the

Large Grain Crop.

The first time since the civil
war, Claiborne county will make
more corn this year than its inhab-
itants can use. Other grain will
also be raised in abundance, and
the amount of hay housed will
probably double that OF any former
year in the history of the county.
OF course, the income from the old
money crop, cotton, will be missed,
but there isn't going to be any suf-
fering on that account.

Drink saps the vital energies
and dulls the brain. It, has
stripped the crown from the brow
of manhood and engirdled it with
crimson baud of shame; it has
plucked the flowers from the gar
den of success and in their place
has strewn the weeds of failure.
It has wrenched the sword of vic
tory from the hands of conquerors,
turned it into a scourge and driven
them from the arena of fame into
the darkness of obscurity; from
royal brows if has taken the i'm
perial crown and dashed them in
to fragments on the stone of defeat
and ignominy.
The men who made America
were, with some notable excep-
tions, of abstemious habits and
austere lives.
Probably the hardest men on
earth are the Russian peasants,
These men never taste intoxicants
and live practically on black bread
and leeks. They can work for
twenty hours day, and so strong
are they that one of them can fell

most of them reaching the century

In Norway the country people
never use fermented liquors and
are strong and long lived,
FAs strong as Turk" has be-
come proverb. The Turks live
chiefly on rice and figs and never
indulge in ardent spirits. Hindu
messengers cover sixty miles day,
keeping it up for days and weeks
and months at a time. They nev-
er taste liquors.
Not only the brain but the body
is much better for the abstinence.
In this age of hustle and mental
activity the brain worker can't af-

Liquor never adds, but always
subtracts. SO far from being
stimulant, it is a anaesthetic; it
deadens instead of quickens. Sci
ence has classed it as a soporific or
narcotic.
Instead of helping man up it
draws him down; instead of placing
him on the sun crowned heights of
success and honor it places him in
the gutter of failure and shame

Several communities are anxious
to consolidate, but the school
board thinks best to give the plan
a thorough test under our condi-
tions before going into it in an ex
tensive way.
Pamela, a negro school near
Karnac, was consolidated with In
gleside. No transportation will be
furnished, as the children can walk
without lnconvenience.

AS has doubtless been noted
from. the minutes of the school
board, two small white schools of
the county have been consolidated
with larger schools and the child
rem from the small schools will be
transferred at public expense,
Some money will be saved, but
such is not the main purpose of
the plan, as there are many other
advantages, all of which will be set
forth in these columns at later
date.

The board of supervisors has
cut one-half mill from the school
levy, but has signifed a willing
ness to make up any deficiency
that might occur at the close of
the schools by borrowing or trans
ferring from other funds. This
being true, we are certain to main
tain our eight months term.

be impossible to carry out the
above plan before the opening, it
is suggested that Saturday, Octo-
