Rich Display of New Goods.
Downstairs in the dress goods de-
partment, the display is rich, the many
handsome fabrics, trimmings and
spring accessories, such as parasols to
match each frock, or color; belts, col
lars, etc., being decoration enough in
themselves. However, garlands OF
white and pink roses, with gay-colored
parasols along the walls, give an added
Spring-like effect
Surely the most exacting society bud
can shop here to her hearts content,
among the summer lawns and ging-
hams, the wash silks in flowers, the
marquisettes in every color, with an
obliging clerk to suggest, if necessary
handsome beaded trimming or these
new colored allover wash laces. Here
is marquisette robe, embroidered in
colors, then a rich corn-colored crepe
de chine spread over pink messaline
with the pearl sets, to trim it. What
more could one want?
Silk hose, from $1.O0 pair up, with
pocket-books to match your gown
hang temptingly everywhere. Dainty
slippers and shoes, substantial as well
are in the next department.
Taking it all in all, The Davidson Co
has exerted itself to please the fas
tidious fair ones of Hattiesburg ant
even the display windows tempt on'
to come in, with their apple blossoms
spring hats, clouds of tulle, Duchess
lace and pink blossoms and the new
embroidered frocks.
So they have justly been rewarded
by numbers of callers, until the bill
store has had a great general recep
ton all day.
This afternoon, from to 6, refresh
ments were served to all who called.
The opening will last for two day
longer.

BIackbird DAYS.

Jan. 80 and 81 and Feb. 1 are famous
at Constantinople. Brescia and along
the Danube and the Rhine as the
'blackbird days." A curious legend
says that originally all species of crack
les (blackbirds) were white and that
they became black because during one
year in the middle ages the three days
mentioned above were so cold that all
the birds In Europe took refuge in the
chimneys., At Brescia the three days
are celebrated with a feast called n
giornl della mer1d.S or the feast Of
the transformation of the bird.S

Says Elder Cunningham.


When pure healthy blood courses
through every vein and artery of the
body, the organs are in a healthy con-
dition, and a strenuous active life is
a pleasure to man or woman.
But. if the blood is impure and slug
gish, the appetite poor, digestion weak
and vitality not up to the standard,
life is burden; then you need Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron tonic,

Elder Cunningham's recovery was

tried on a crown of violets and tiny

By-the-way, many of the trimmings
are from the back, especially the
plumes, and white hemp shape, coy
cred with black lace, the edge falling
over the turned up brim in front, was
completed by two black and white
mixed plumes in the back.
A coral hat, with shaded coral
plumes, copied from an imported

School Board
Discusses
New Building.
MORE Room BADLY NEEDED.
WILL HAVE TO BE READY FOR
SEPT. TERN OF 1912.

That a New Building for the
Children of Independent School
District 2 will be the next public
movement there seems little que
stion. This years census roll
passed the 500 mark with nearly
all of that number in attendance
which not only marks our prog
ress i'll population but speaks
plainly that considerable roomi is
needed to care for SO many pupils
properly.
1t was the sense of the Board
that this matter be brought to
the attention of parents with the
aim of calling a mass meeting
after the public had been given
time to consider the proposition
that plans might be laid and the
kind of structure desired be out
lined that active work may be
started.
1t will take time to get specif-
cations and the matter OF Bond
ing settled before anything can
be done toward actual construct
ion.
1t has been suggested that One
Building be put up next year that
will supply ample room tor the
present, in connection with the
one we now have and later an
other be added that will care for
a school Of about 1000.
These are things that should
have the careful thought of all
parents and tax PAYERS so that
the matter can be clearly set
forth at a mass meeting when
called and preparations we'll
under way for work when spring
opens next year.
The present building is not
large enough but it is in good
shape and will care for 200 or
300 easily, If more room can be
had for about that many more
elsewhere.

Potato Growing.

Seed SelectiOn.-Seed selection
is the most important phase OF
profitable potato growing. The
quality and productivity of the
seed always determines the quail
Iity and productivity of your
succeeding crop. AS in stock
raising. SO in potato growing,
the selection of the individual
marks the degree of success of
the grower. When selecting pot
atoes for seed. select vigorous,
healthy hills that have the same
number of plants in the hill. Do
not select freak hills or hills that
have had an advantage. Exper-
fence alone will teach you how to
select those vigorous, healthy
plants that are good yielders OF
uniform marketable potatoes.
Select to a definite ideal and
true to type. The best market.
able types or sizes range between
a 5 and 10 ounce potato.
Different varieties have differ
ent number of eyes, but in any
event keep the number of eyes to
minimum and select for pota-
toes that have shollow eyes.
Deep-eyed potatoes have higher
percentage of waste and are not
as salable as the shollow-eyed
varieties. Be sure and have
smooth skinned potatoes that
are free from any sign of disease.
NEVER PLANT DISEASED
POTATOES.
Cutting for Seed. Cutting
potatoes tor seed by hand has
mus iar proven superior to cutt-
ing them with machinery. OIL
course where potatoes are plant
ed IN great areas, hand cutting
is almost out of the question.
But wherever it is possible to cut
them by hand it certainly proves
10 De most profitable. Seek to
have all the cuttings uniform in
size and with the same number
OF eyes. From one to two ewes |
TO a potato are ample, depending
upon soil conditions and how |
'loseiy the potatoes are to be
planted. To secure the best CON
iitlons for successful growth the
