cop | ES FOR U M.
Ho, FOR THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
D. A. Mcleod Favors Spending A Week
Working The Roads.
And OFFERS His Teams and Service Free.

Editor Herald note what you
say in regard to the observance of
the Tooth birthday OF Greene Coun-
ty. Now the more | study this thing
over, the more | become interested
in it, ard for one don think there
could be a more appropriate way, and
one that would give more general
satisfaction, than in putting in FIVE
good days work on our roads. Here
is my plan to wit
lst, Make it a Holly-Joly week;
have something good to eat every day
End. Suspend the Public Schools,
and business of every kind.
Bird. Have every citizen take some
part, and do something; furnish
teams, tools, labor, money or help
plan, lay out and direct the work.
4th. Invite all non-r resident tax
payers and all old citizens who Lave
moved away, to take some part IN
the work.
9th. Have the towns take up this
work and work on their streets, for
they are in nearly as bad fix as the
county roads.
9th. The mingling Of our people to-
gether for u week in this work would
be good The work would put every
link of road in the County in fairly
good condition, and would create an
interest in road bulding among our
people, and would hasten good roads
in Greene.
Now to show the pubic how much
| favor ard am in love with this cele
bratlon will give one pair good mules
4 yoke of oxen, one two horse pillow,
3 shovels, 2 boys. lumber enough to
put in all culverts in on my link OF
road and myself 5 days work.
Now fellow citizens let us hear
from you, let US get busy, AID make
this celebration one of the biggest
things that ever occurred in Greene.
Let US make so much sign thus in
road building, that it will be plain to
see one hundred years from now.
Yours truly,

Turn Backward In New Rhyme Dress.

Sterling {Mo.) Journal
Backward, turn back ward, oh Time
in your flight, and give US a maiden
dressed proper and right, we are so
weary of switches and rats, Billy
Burke clusters and peach basket hats.
Wads of iute hair in horrible pile,
stacked on their heads to the height
of Il mile. Something is wrong with
the maidens we fear. Give us the
girls as they used to appear. Give us
the girlies we once knew OF yore,
whose curls didn t come from hair
dressing store. Maidens who dress
ed with sensible view, and just as
dame nature intended them TO. Give
us girl with figure her own, and
fashioned divinely by Nature alone
Feminine styles getting fiercer each
year-Oh give us the girls as they
used to appear.

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Virtue of Vegetables.

Many vegetables play a useful
part in helping us to solve our
food problems. Cabbage, for ex-
ample, is one of the best vege-
tables that can be selected for
this purpose Then we have on
ions. celery, radishes, carrots.
lettuce, spinach, tomatoes and
one of the most important of all
-horseradish Among the herbs
sorrel and rhubarb are perhaps
the most useful No food in the
spring is better than rhubarb.
while sorrel should be eaten ev.
cry day, either in combination
with other vegetables and herbs
as Il salad or as one of the herbs
that are used to flavor the soup.
To secure the best. effect from
the acid combining foods most
Of them should be eaten raw, or
at least they should be cooked as
slightly as possible. Too much
cooking destroys the organic
mineral salts, without which
these foods would fail to accom-
pliSh their purpose. That is why
we crave such things as raw cell
cry and radishes. Those who
have tried raw cabbage and raw
onions sliced and served as
salad seldom go for very long
time without repeating the ex-
pertinent.

ChiIdren'S RIGHTS.

In the home life never forget that
the children have social rights, and
the chief among these is the right t.
laugh when they are happy, to cry
when they are unhappy, and to make
a noise. A healthy child is always
active. 1t must jump and scream,
fall down, cry when it gets hurt, and
jullp up only to repeat the same
thing. But to keep it still means
unhappiness and nearly, If not quite
death. Let them be gay. This is
their element. We always class chill
dren, birds and flowers together.
And why? Because they should be
equally beautiful, innocent and hap

AWAkEs FROM SUMMER sN1OzE
Writes Up SmIth-Patten NuptiaIs.

Cheraw, Miss, Sept. 4, 1911.- Mr..
Edltor:-I herewith send you a few
dots from our little village if you
deem them worthy Of insertion in
your valuable paper.
On the evening of Thursday Aug.
3lst 1911, there was a quiet wedding
solemnized in this city at the home
of the brides parents. The con-
tracing parties were Mr.. Robert y.
Smitn and Miss Maggie Patten,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Patten. Rev. r. f. Bass was the
minister that pronounced the solemn
words that made two young hearts
beat as one.
Mr.. Smith is valuable employee
of the Enterprise Lumber Co, of
Plckwick, Miss, and formerly resid-
ed in McLain, Miss.
Your Correspondent herewith eX-
tends his congratulation to Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith, ard wish them a long,
happy and prosperous life, and sin
cerely hope that the roses Of domes-
tic tranquility viii be strewn under
their feet, and henceforth, their
pathway will be a fragrant shaded
bower of honey suckles and hya-
cinths.
Miss Virgie Session of Columbia,
Miss, was in attendance at the nup-
tials of the Smith Patten wedding,
and leaves in few days for her
old home in Alabama on a visit TO
relatives and friends and will return
about Oct. 1st.
Our little village was visited by
an electrical storm on Saturday eve
ming, and a tree standing near the
store of the Enterprise Lbr. Co., was
struck by the lightning, the current
passing to the corner of the Compa.
nys store, struck the telephone in
the Office, and put it out of business.
Mr.. b. e. Green the manager being
in the office at the time escaped with
only slight shock.
With best wishes to the Herald.
Yours truly,

Cultivate Love For Good Books Early.

Southern Farm Gazette, starksville
In his prescription for the making
of gentleman Oliver Wendell
Holmes says: Above all things, as
u child he should have tumbled about
in library. All men are afraid of
books that have not handled them in
their infancy There is truth in this,
and we believe it is true that the boy
or girl who is taught in the school
room to tackle and master hard tasks
and hard problems will bring to the
tasks and problems of life a mind
better trained to meet and conquer
the difficulties that it pays to take
plenty of time to prepare for ones
life work.

The influences of climate bear in
strong upon the disposition of man.
Righs at this present time we of this
part of the world are painting for a
surcease from this unusual hot waye
and will welcome those delightful
crisp cool mornings which better
grace September. Dwellers as we
are in the North Temperate Zone, we
are temperament tally adjusted to a
climate showing a splendid range of
weather and when any one kind Of
weather fingers beyond its proper
season we begin to long for the ar
rival of the kind next due. When We
editor was in the Tropics we began
to get oppressed before we got away,
with the thought: suppose we had TO
stay here all the year round, where
they never have a touch of wintry
weather. 1t made us want to hike
back to the Southern fringe of the
North Temperate zone where we
were raised, and known in the States
as the piney woods section, which
has the beau-ideal of climate.

EDITORIAL

The Herald doesn't intend to ever
let up on the Good Roads Question,
until highways deserving of that
name have been put up throughout
the metes and bounds of Old Greene.
We are not advocating the building
of cement or asphalt paved roads, but
practical roads from the native ma
terial at hand, which is the sensible
and economical way to erect improv
ed roadways ia every section. We
are studying the Good Roads move
ment along with our fellows of
Greene, and we trust that out of the
general Investigation and agitation
the old county will in short time
come to get such avenues of public
travel opened up as will be common
surate with the present needs and
rapid development during this and
coming decades.

The Herald has plenty OF assurance
and to spare of it's having a firm hold
upon the affections and patronage Of
"a large percent of the people of Old
Greene County for whose upbuilding
it has labored in season and out and
often at great sacrifices. The good
people of this county have us mighty
badly fooled if they are unapprecia-
tive of the hard ticks we have and
are continueing to put in for its bet
terment. The vamperings of Il few
would-be dictators whose feathers
our editorial policy has possibly ruff
fnd, is not giving us any uneasiness
as we have weathered several such
gales and know about how they blow
by. If let alone we are not usually
bel.igerent, but if driven to the defen
sive it is our aim ever to let those
who clash with us know they have
been in a fight.

Lxoaum Course At Sharon.

The Signor Cafarelli Concert Party,
to perform at Sharon next Monday
night, is an organization Of such un-
usual ability and versatility that they
delight their audiences everywhere.
Signor Cafarelli was born in Italy,
and received his early musical train
ing in the conservatories of that coun-
try, beginning his public career as
a harp solofst at the age of IL. After
a triumphant tour on the continent
and England, in which he appeared
in Rome. Paris, London and other
great art centers, he came to Amer
lea. for the past twenty years he has
been recognized as one of the leading
harpists. Like their father, Signorine
Carmela and Louise began their mu-
sical training while yet at tender ages;
the former on the harp at s, and the
latter on the violin at 7. Having ap-
peared before the public continuously
for more than a third of century.
Signor Cafarelli has not only mastered
the art of playing but the equally
important skill of blending a pro-
gramme of the classical and the pop
ular so that the tastes of all are
suited. An exceptionally fine musical
equipment, including most melodious
bells. thousand dollar harp and a
40 year old violin. materially aid
this family of artists to do the best
of which they are capable. Each
member of this gifted family is re-
fined, cultured and personally charm
ing. and possessing in addition the
rare Italian musical temperament
they have the genius to touch the
heartstrings of their auditors. An
evening with them fingers in the mem
Ory like a dream.
