MONEY

LET me write song of a nation
and l care not who writes its
laws" So says the poet.
But, let me control the money
Of nation and I. will write the
laws of that nation. Money is
the usual measure of value and our
common medium of exchange.
Potatoes are . measure of value
but not q practical medium of
exchange.
The medium OF exchange is the
life blood of trade, commerce and
business. The control of the
medium Of exchange means the
absolute control Of business. The
money Of the country has become
centered in Wall Street and il
controlled by half a dozen men.
You remember the panic of 1907.
That panic was made by those in
control Of the large financial in
stitutions Of Wall Street in order
to depress prices and to get
property on their own terms. It
was q money panic. Wall Street
went on q strike. The money of
the nation was deposited there.
The money kings held It and
would not pay it out. The banks
Of the nation were made iusolvent
in a day. They could not pay.
There was no failure Of crops.
neither war, pestilence nor famine.
Wall Street went ON . strike.
Mills, mines. factories and banks
went down in the crash. The In
terests gathered them In. TIE
money was released and the world
wagged ON.
What mattered that some were
suicides. and some were made
paupers!
Do you eco the pointf

ED. VIDETTE: Been SO long
rince | wrote some of your read
ers may think l have passed in my

cold here. Been showing here
all day-April 24--aud the ground
seems as hard as any time during
the past winter. 1t certainly
looks strange to see the ground
white with snow at this season.
Fortunately the farmers have
nothing planted but wheat, though
there has been a great deal OF
blowing done. When the wealth
cr moderates there will be great
rush with the farmers.

The Body Found.

The body of Clarence Briggs
ic) who was drowned in Bear
Greek at Eastport ON the 10th of
April was recovered last Satur-
day, just one week from the time
of the drowning. The discovery
was made by Messrs D Medley
and w R Alexander. They were
crossing Bear Creek on their way
to Riverton when it occurred to
them to paddle below the crossing
and look for the body. the water
being still from backing up of the
river. Less than one hundred
yards below the place where he
was drowned the body of the boy
was found floating. Help was Sc
cured and the body recovered and
buried Sunday.

Only four persons left here Mon
day morning to go to- the Confed-
crate Reunion at Mobileto- wit:
Messrs Jack j. Moore, G. B.
Bostick, w. M. Gist and H. c.
Long. The cold snap prevented
others who would have gone.
Messrs Moore and Bostick, carried
a big supply of hickory walking
sticks aslusuals out of which they
will probably make much more
than their expenses. We hope all
parties will have a good time, We
are not expecting a big crowd of
people at the reunion this year.

A Soldier Drowned In Bear Creek

A short distance above where
the negro boy. Clarence Briggs
was drowned Confederate caval-
ry scout was drowned in the
creek under the following circum-
stances. He had crossed the creek
to look for the Yankees who oc-
cupied Riverton, was seen and
pursued by detachment of the
enemy. In crossing the creek his
horse stepped fin hole or was
mired in the quicksand and was
turned over by the fierce current.
The soldier encumbered by a
heavy cartridge box, was speedily
drowned. We do not know his
name or command. The above
incident was related to us by Mr..
c. A. Hill.

Field Meet At.Corinth.

The field day meet at Corinth
last Friday was grand success.
Iuka was well represented. Mr..
Paul Wells carried off the honors
for Iuka in the 100yd dash and
the broad jump. 1t is safe to say
that there is not better athlete
in North Mississippi than Paul
Wells. Iuka also won the base
ball prizes. 1t is to be hoped that
next year Iuka will have a good
basket ball and tennis team to
participate in the meet.
In the literary contests Miss
Addie Lou Morgan and Mr. Law
renee Goyer failed to win the
prizes, but they delivered their
pieces so well that they did credit
to themselves and their school.
They we're so close behind the
winner that it was uncomfortable
to them. This is the first year
that Iuka has had High School
course. They had to contest
against city schools where a 4
year High School course has been
established for years. Iuka won
more honors than any other school
capturing 4 prizes and winning
the championship in baseball.
Paul Wells won a $500 pair of
trousers in the broad jump, 50. SO
razor in the 100 yd dash, the ball
team won a $3.50 glove and a
pearl handle knife which they
gave to Prof Gooch for his inter
est in the games. 1t is largely due
to the untiring energy and enthu-
siasm of Prof Gooch that Iuka
was so we'll represented this year.

Hard On Potato Bugs.

Pm tell you what's so, said
an Iuka gardener; this weather
has been tough on potato bugs.
At my house they have been wait
ing two weeks for my potatoes to
come up. This morning I saw
some old bugs still waiting. They
were sitting Numbered up, with
frost or the back of t,ieir shells,
still waiting patiently for the po-
tatoes that never came"

The Agricultural High School

We fear that some of our own
citizens do not fully appreciate the
many advantages that will accrue
to Iuka from having the Agricul-
tural High School located here.
1t will revive the legend that Iuka
is a great educational center. In
fact it will make that legend fact
once more. This added to our
natural advantages will make Iuka
a most.desirable point for homes
for those who seek the education
of their children. But luka will
not get all the benefits. The
young sons of the farmers of Tish-
omingo county will get just such
instruction in agriculture as is
necessary to make farming a sue
cess. The time when people
could laugh at book farming"
as fad has passed forever. A
new era has dawned and he who
neglects to get in line with ad-
vanced systems will be left be-
hind. The Agricultural High
School will fill this long felt want.
At minimum of expense the
Tishoiningo farmer boy will be
put in touch with the most adj
vanced agricultural discoveries Of
the age.

of all our musicians and music
loving people. Brothers. sisters,
