Realizing the fact that many pa
rents are oAen puzzled as to the
course to parsue in training their
boys and girls, we have decided to
publish series of articles from
Prof. w. A. McKeever's "Home
Training Bulletins. The author
of the bulletins is Professor of
Philosophy in the Kansas Agricul-
tural College and has done consid-
erable research work along lines
relating to the training of boys and
girls. 1t is a pertinent fact, as,
commented upon by the author,
that our government spends mil
lions trying to work out plans to
obtain better crops of corn and
cotton and better breeds of cattle
and horses, BUT has done practical
ly nothing toward securing a "Bet-
ter Crop of Boys and Girls" The
first of the above mentioned series

hail with unalloyed delight the dis
covery of at least one farmer in the
country who is willing to greet
them with open arms.
T. B. Magruder, farmer of
Claiborne county, residing several
miles from Port Gibson, publishes
in the current issues of the Port
Gibson Reveille, the following
unique notice:
''To the Public:
"You are cordially invited to
hunt, fish, or otherwise indulge
yourselves on my land in innocent
pleasure as much as you please.
And when tired of sport, come to
the house to read and partake of
my humble hospitality. The poor
mans greatest pleasure is in CIV
ing pleasure to others. so don't
hesitate. You are more than well
come. No Yankee in me-"
Some Doubling Thomas may be
inclined to the opinion that there
is neither fish nor game on Mr..
Magruder's land, but this conclu.
sion would be erroneous, for it is
we'll stocked with both. Further
more, he don't extend the invita-
ton to the world because he is
lonely, for he has large family to
keep him company.-Special to

Fortune Lost on Peanuts.

Jackson dispatches say that
somebody has lost a lot of money
on peanuts there is no doubt.
There has been something like
3oo,oo bushels handled in Missis-
slppi upon the mistaken idea that
peanuts weighed 80 pounds to the
bushel.
They don't, that is, they don't
in Mississippi.
According to Chapter $50 of the
Code of 1906 the weight of "ground
peas" is fixed at "a pounds per
bushal. Therefore on the 300, 900
bushels somebody has paid for six
pounds bushel more than the law
allows for.
Ground peas, pindars, goobers,
ground nnts, peanuts or "Arachie
Hypogea" as its visiting and COM
pany name is-it is all the same,
and synonymous or something like
it. After all, it is the goober, and
the State of Mississippi says the
goober weighs 24 pounds to the
bushel. Who has got the differ
ence of six poundsa
On 900, 900 bushels difference
of six pounds per bushel amounts
to IS, 700 bushels. Eighteed thou
sand bushels at $r.25 per bushel
amounts to $4,000. Who got it1
Somebody. Somebody is in that
neat, nice little sum.
If you don't believe it, look at
Chapter $50 of the Code of Missis-
sippi and then figure what you
bought or sold at.

Lights on College HIN.

When the evening shades are falling
Ger the mountains gray,
When the thrush silver calling
Sweetly melts away;
When you dare not break the silence
That the valley dIls.
Then there shine athwart the shadows
Lights on College Hill.
When the moon in golden splendor
Liquid light pours down,
Bathing in a radiance tender,
River, field. and town;
When the stars draw back before her,
Silent, pale. and still,
Then there mingles with glory
Lights on College Hill.
When the skies their floods are pouring.
And the night is black;
When the angry winds are roaring
Till the stars shrink back;
When the black clouds gloom like monsters
Formless things of III.
Peaceful shine across the tumults
Lights on College Hill,
Still in days that lie before US
When the stars are bright,
Still when storm-clouds gather DER us
Darkening the night,
Shall the light of college friendships
All our mem ries fill.
Still shall shine across the valley
Lights on College Hill.

by him on his new factory which
he installed at his place across the

gets these brooms on the market,

Opinion q
Editor Reveille:

Editor Reveille:
read with interest in your last
issue an article headed, "Joke
Caused His DEATH" concerning
the death of Lieut.. Aaron Vertner,
of the Confederate army, and
signed F. H. F. AS l then lived
in Port Gibson and remember the
receipt of the news of his death, l
beg leave to add something like a
postscript 10 the article above re-
ferred to.
Shortly after the incident Gen.
Van Dorm wrote his sister, who
was also a relative of the Vertners,
and then resided here, a full ac-
count of the tragedy, which was
very complimentary to LIEUT.
Aaron Vertner.
When the lady first received and
read the letter she positively re-
fused to believe a word it con-
tanned; she told some of her lady
friends that she didn't believe
Aaron was dead, that the letter
sounded just like him and that she
believed Aaron had witten it to
her himself, just for joke. She
continued to doubt the genuine
ness of the letter until the report
of his death was confirmed.

vast numbers of boil weevil and

of Charles Tell and other Swedes
in this vicinity this week. He and
other Swedes have a large body of
land IN Yazoo county, Miss, which
they will cut up into 40 and 80
acre tracts and sell to Northern
farmers on easy terms and low in
terest. Mr.. Yarn says the tide of
Northers is towards the South,
where the land is cheap and there
is rain enough to secure crops, and
not to Texas, on account of the
there prevailing droughts since
1906. He thinks that Southern

know it is dangerous to correct my
friend, who we all know is up to
date in Confederate history, but
will do so on one item at the risk
of "Coffee and pistols for two. T"
Lieut.. Vertner was not on Gen.
Van Dorn's staff when killed. He
was on Gen. Hindman's staff. The
rest of his article l KNOW to be
correct. Lieut.. Vertner was on
Gen. Van Dorn's staff in Virginia.
The writer was then Gen. Van
Dorn's private secretary. It was
no "joke," as the ReveIlle had it
headed. Those who knew Lieut..
Vertner knew how fond he was of
dress and show. / heard him re-
peatedIy criticize the Confederate
Grey, with gold lace on it "that
could not be seen any distance
from the wearer." For that reason
he had his uniform made of blue
cloth, so the gold lace would show
to better advantage. l knew Lieut..
