PECULIAR GROWTH
KILLING MAGNOLI las

Jackson, Miss, May PA peculiar
fungus growth, somewhat resembling
the San Jose scale but of more viru-
lent character, is killing the magnolia
trees in Jackson.
Magnolia boughs showing how the
pest is committing it's ravages were
forwarded to the chief entomologist
Of the United States department Of
agriculture last night by Mr.. Alex Vir-
den, well-known citizen of Jackson,
with a request for diagnosis and sug-
gestion as to methods of treatment.
Two beautiful magnolia trees in Mr..
Virden's yard are slowly dying as a
result of this fungus, and inquiry
shows that trees in other parts of the
city are similarly afflicted. Ususally
the magnolia is a very hardy tree af-
ter II has attained ten years growth.
but this new disease is blighting the
old as well as young trees.

PREPARING FOR
BETTER SCHl0iS

New Augusta, Miss, May 29.-Thre2
rousing, harmonious and effect "
school meetings have been held he c
recently; with the already establish . !
certainty of a ten thousand dol II
building, besides a consolidation of = y
the weak schools adjacent, into car
village.
The last legislature enacted a ! "
empowering the patrons of seve al
schools to consolidate, and by a ma
jority petition to the County board to
levy local tax for maintaining tie
school,
BY this means It is the hope of the
community to have efficient and well
paid teachers, and to do away with
the semi-adventurous class who too Of
ten play the part of teacher without
single qualification, as to character
scholarship or industry.
The law providing for this CONSOLE
dation also provides for having the
pupils conveyed to and from school
at public cost, thus enabling children
to attend with convenience from a
distance which would, under the ole
methods, be impossible, or at least
impracticable.

Progressive Dinner Party

Among the various strictly so
cial novelties that have occurred
in W1nslow recently, it must be
conceded that the members of

for themselves enviable d1stinc-

despite the inclemency of the
weather, these fair young ladies
carried out a very elaborate
four-course dinner, the first
course being with Miss Winifred
Waite, the second with the
Misses Irene and Louise Dadey,
the third with Miss Pauline
Woods, and the fourth with Miss
Frances Parks, after which the
members and their invited guests
were mostpleasantly entertained
with singing, music and dancing
at the home of Mrs. c. J. Spell.
mire.
This Club has limited num-
ber of membership, and judging
from the past social doings of
the same, very bright social fu,
ture may be easily predicted.
The members were: Misses Irene
and Louise Dadey, Teresa Mon.
roe, Pauline Woods, Frances
Parks. Winifred Waite, Caroline
Eisman, Marcello Scanlon, Nora
Carmody and Teresa White. The
honored guests: Messrs Burl

1t is chagrin at being left out Of
such delightful parties as this, per-

sort is pending. In the very begin

observation-disclosures Of the mistress of
the White House to the numerous re-
quests for an extra card for house
guests to the state functions at the
executive mansion. OF late, however,
it has spread beyond official circles to
deplorable degree, until nowadays
the hostess who is planning any priv
ate entertainment of any sort must
exercise the utmost tact and dipli.

Mrs. Edward B. McLean's $4,000 Fete

A FUSILLADE of rapidly exploding
~ dynamite mines and the sudden
transformation of a miniature battle
field set with platoons of manikin SOL
diers into "a field of carnage" with a
fully equipped corps of Red Cross
nurses rushing to do service among the
wounded" was the browning feature
in a series Of surprises which made
the $4,000 fete Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Beale Mclean gave the other night
one of the most astonishing and spec
tacular affairs ever given in Washing
ton. Small fortresses dotted the gar
dens, and cavalry and cannon added
to the realism of the martial picture.
Red Cross ambulances and Red
Cross nurses arranged on wires
charged with electricity whirled rap
idly to the scenes of the several ex-
plosions, and within twenty minutes
after the firing of the first mine the
Italian gardens set with fifty bat
talions of soldiers In battle array look
ed like Red Cross hospital camp in
the full tide of a bloody fray.
The occasion marked the climax OF
a weeks entertaining planned in hon.
or of the delegates to the interna-
tional Red Cross conference.
Eight hundred guests, including not
ables from every country in the civil
lized world, attended the reception,
which was marked by the elegance OF
a court function.
