Northern Citizens Celebrate 9TH.

OA4C VI LuO ulOSL conspicuous
and hopeful features of country
life of recent years in Noxubee
county has been the presence
here of many citizens who were
born under northern or western
skies. They are here too as
loyal citizens rooted to the soil
and not as mere sojourners. They
are important factors in the agrl-
cultural and business develop
ment of the county, bringing with
them not only the increase Of
their goods and chattels and the
wealth they produce from their
farms here, but bringing also
new ideas and new methods, and
teaching our old citizens new
things just as they learn from our
experience.
The social side of country life
has not been neglected, and the
cordial relations established be-
tween the newcomers and the
native born istypical Of the south.
Once a year, on the Fourth of
July, our friends from the north
and west meet at a big basket
dinner inviting many of their
friends here. Their annual en-
tertainment has become an estab-
lished custom and attracts much
attention and interest. This year
the dinner was at the hospitable
home of Mr., NJ. c.. Weyburn, at
the Scales place two miles north
of Macon. The handsome home
and grounds, which is an ideal
place for such an affair, were
plentiously decorated with
streamers Of bunting of the ma
tional colors. A bountiful din
ner was served and the atmos-
phere was filled with good cheer,
hospitality and cordiality. 1t

called with pleasure by those who
were present. Those present
