as the figures have not been tabulat-

hundred thousands and may crowd
the million mark. Some individuals

MANY new PUPILS
At COOKING SCHOOL
Interest Increasing Rapidly And Miss
Cliff Receiving Much
Praise.

The efforts of The News and Miss
Edith l.. Gift to give the public of
Ilattiesburg a free cooking school, are
proving to be highly appreciated,
judging from the immense crowd
which attended again yesterday. Near
~ every seat was occupied and not a
movement or mixture made by that
clever instructress was missed by the
audience as she prepared the daintiest
rs well as the most substantial food
for the palates of her audience. The
most inexperienced as well as the
most accomplished housekeepers were
to be seen in the audience, and none
ere too experienced to learn.
