Mcleod Finds Sentiment Favoring The
Centennial Celebration.

Editor Herald:-I have in the last
few days met good MANY our clti-
zens of the County. | find the senti-
ment for a celebration of Greene s
one hundredth anniversary very
strong. Have found only one man
who opposed it out right.
l attended the County Farmers
Union Convention last week. The
convention endorsed it to man. l
can't see any reason why the people
can't pull it off and have such a week
in Greene as was never had before;
one that will never be forgotten. and
will result in untold good to the pub
lie roads and the social feature also
will bring untold good to our people.
Let everybody become interested.

GREENE COUNTY SHOULD GET BUSY.

E. W. Gordon arrived Sunday from
Clara, in Wayne Co., where he has
lately been busy with saw and ham
mer helping erect the new $4,000 Ag-
ricultural High School building,
which he is extravagant in praise of
being a fine one. Wayne Co. has for
tunately secured splendid man to
the agricultural high
school in that county, and under his
vigorous leadership they are march
ing on to very great things. Raz
says this year they raised an I'M
mense amount of stuff to feed the car
penters and the school-lads and had
something to market. Would that
Greene could emulate our sister
county's example in this respect
without further DELAY.

MRS. ALETHA ROSELLER COWART.
The subject of this sketch, Mrs.
Aletha Roseller Dwarf, was born
near old Washington, Greene County,
Miss, December 23rd, 1887, was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Matthew
Moody She followed her Lord in
child dedication when an infant, was
converted and baptized with the Ho-
ly Spirit and united with the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, in ear
ly youth.
She was married to J. ]. Cowart
November 9th, 1858 who died and
left her May 4th, 1875 with ID chill
dren to rear and educate, all of which
she did. She taught them both by
precept and example to love the Lord,
whose blessed Spirit made her life so
pure and noble.
She died October 10Th, 1911 in her
home near Cross Roads church where
she had been domiciled for the II
years. We laid her remains to rest
in the Cross Roads cemetery October
10th, 1911. 1t was my pleasure to
be her Pastor for two years during
which time she convinced me of the
fact that she was child of God. In
the death of this good woman God S
Church on earth lost one of its best
members; the state one of its best
citizens, the family a precious

Doctor Cook was sold by Curator
Ditmars to a park in Lexington, Miss,

Trouble began when they endeavor-

The shades of night were falling fast

keeper insisted that the trial be made
Doctor Cook ate a few. Then a train
of the sweets was laid from one cage
to the other. Just as the Eskimos fol-
