AN ODE TO THE OLD
CITY DRAY

The Old Reliable City Dray
Came here some years ago to stay
It has stood the test as the years
went by
OF every trouble beneath the sky.
No matter how wintery
No matter how hot
They are always on duty
Whether wanted or not.
AS the rains would be falling
And the winds would be high
You would always see the
Old city dray passing by.
Sometimes our streets are crowded
with drays
For while in the Spring,
When there's money to be made
But soon as the times get quiet and
set
You couldn't get one of them then
on bet.
With regard to our prices
|. No one can compete
With the old city dray
Every day on the street.
Now who is deserving
Of this little trade
The man who has built up
And this business made
Or the man who comes in
For simple few weeks
When the money is flying
Like dust on the streets?
But soon as the dust
I And smoke clears away
You'll sure have to come
For the old city dray.
Now hard times will come
And winter set in
Now who is going to stick
Till the longed for next spring?
Who? Well, no one on earth
Is more liable to stay
Than the old red wagons
OF the city dray.

Editor Weekly:

LdltOl "
Permit me through your paper
to make some important announce
ments, to our people
The closing exercises of the pub
lie schools will begin on next Sun
day, 22nd inst, when the sermon
for the school will be preached by
Rev. John r. Countiss, at the
Methodist church. at II O'Clock
a. m. Everybody is invited to be
present. Examinations for the
graduating, class will be held We'd
desday, Thursday and Friday of
this week. Examinations for the
remainder of the school will be
held next week, beginning Monday
morning May 23rd, and continu-
ing throughout the week.
On FRIDAY evening, May 9th, at
$50 O'Clock. the graduating exer-
cises for the class of 1910 will be
held at the Opera House, this city.
The following are the names of
those who will likely receive their
Diplomas on that OCCASION:
Felix J Lam, President; Thomp-
son Crenshaw, Vice President; Gus
Taylor, Treas; and Miss Ruth Me-
Donald, Sec, together with n. w.
Hatch, Jr., Misses Cornelia JAR
man, Minnie Mae Plant, Patsy
Dulin, Mia Flynt, Harriette Stark
Josephine Clark, BERTHE Mae Shep-
herd, Elizabeth Godfrey. jamie
Young, Corinne Walker. Ruth
Vesey, and Florence Gilmore.
The above class is one of the
largest that has ever been sent out
from this famous institution. Its
personnel is most excellent. The
young men are handsome and
chivalrous; the young ladies art
pretty and queenly. They have
all made an excellent record.
Believing that self reliance, anC
the power of the institution should
be fostered and encouraged in al
school work, we recommended that
they, as a class, prepare their own
commencement programme. They
have cheerfully acted on our sug.
gestion, and we predict that every
one who may attend on the occas-
ion will be entertained and edited
There will be no admission fee.
The school is a democratic institu-
ton, a place where each student is
on level. Our school should be
the pride of our city, and is. The
student body should be loyal. and
the patrons and friends of the
school should lend their hearts, CO.
operation. They have done this.
Now as slight tribute of respect
to this class, to the teachers, and to
the friends of the school, let us at
tend.
Very truly yours,
J. III. WOODARD.

Up to a few days ago, weather
conditions have not been favorably
to crops. Little rainfall and low
tempature have retarded germina-
ton and checked growth. The injury
was not past reclamation. The
rainfall and warmer weather
of the last few days have consider
ably altered the outlook, and cast
a more hopeful prospect. The
fields are free of grass. and good
stands of corn and cotton are prac-
tically assured. The farmer is til
ling the soil, mixing intelligence
with his energy, and, of course, the
ground will laugh. and SO will the
farmer when he gathers the har-
vest. Taken all in all. the crop
outlook is propitious. The en-
couraging feature. however, is that
the world will take all that can be
raised at a good price.

Superintendent Of Education W.
III. Smith, of Holmes county, is one
of the officials of the State who de-
serves a great deal of credit. He
was the originator of the Corn Club
idea and has not only caused two
blades of grass to grow where there
was but one before, but he has caus-
ed 40 bushels o: corn to grow
where there were but 10 or 15 be-
fore. He has caused the boys of the
State of Mississippi to appreciate
the fact that their fathers have been
runnieg on a Cheap John scale here
tofore, and has made them under
stand that they can make several
times more per acre than has ever
been made before on a given acre
