And I always thought that could

Now at first it broke my heart,
For to cook is quite an art,
Which thought l had accomplished

But don't grieve any more
Laugh instead of getting "sore
When l hear cts not like mother

For l think I've won at last
In the future-not the past,

Grenada May Get Federal Court.

A telegraphic news item sent ont
from Washington City few days ago
conveyed the intelligence that bill had
been presented by Hon. T. U. Sisson in
Congress for the removal of the fed
eral court house from Oxford to Gren-
ada. Grenada has been interested in
this matter for long while: and only
about a week ago a special envoy in
the person of Attorney J. L. Barnard
vas sent to the national capital to pre-
sent petitions, maps, ETC., to the proper
committees. Mr.. Barnard was gone a
little over a week, and he states that
ae was highly gratified at the recep,
ton giver his proposition by the COM
tnittee which he appeared before, and
ne is very optimistic indeed over the
prospects of the proposed change. Mr..
5isson is assured of the cooperation Of
several members Of congress of thii
state, which will make the passage Of
the bill much more probable. OF course
it is to be expected that Congressman
Stephens of the Oxford district will
oppose the change This would b.
natural. There will be some Sigh
change in the original draft of the bill
as offered by Mr.. Sisson and he is go
ing to push the matter most vigor
ously. Mr.. Barnard is fulsome in wha
he has to say about the interest mani
Tested by Mr.. Sisson in the bill an

GOOD ROADS MEETING
U. Ward King. a National Character.
to be Here Feb. "a. Let Every.
body Who Can be on Hand.

The matter of good roads and how to
get them is being discussed throughout
the land. Good roads are realized as
one of the first necessities of present
DAY civilization. The public is now
considering how to "get there" by the
easiest and most direct route. Time is
being appreciated as being more and
more precious. There must be no loss.
Mankind has no time to waste or ener-
gy to lose. Good roads are more i'm
portant to the farmer than anyone
else. He must haul his produce tc
market and of necessity haul his gro.
ceries and many other commodities
from the market. The question, then
for the farmer, is, II want to haul the
most in the shortest time" When the
farmer can do that he saves his wagor
and his team and has more time to de-
vote to other matters.
D. Ward King, known as the "dra,
man, will be at the court house il

BOIL WEEVIL RALLY
Held at Court House February Sth.
J. ". Willis and Miss Susie Y.
Powell Make Talks.

The boil weevil rally which was ad-
vertised to be held at the court house
in Grenada on Feb. was somewhat
disappointing to County Agricultural
Commissioner Ira T. McLemore, when
the point of numbers is considered; but
due allowance should be made for the
weather and for the interest in mur-
der trial in progress at the court house,
which kept many away who were al
ready in town. The meeting was held
at the mayors Office and was called to
order by j. w. Willis, district agent
for the Farmers Cooperative demon
stration work for this sedtion.
Mr.. Willis made some very pertinent
remarks regarding the Importance of
the gathering and what it meant to the
farmers of this county. Mr.. j. F.
Mckay, of the farmers institute work,
talked on crop diversifcation and how
it made boil weevil-fightihg easy. He
emphasized the fact that a one-ides
farmer, or indeed anything else, woult
meet but meager success in this day
of energy and progress.
Miss Susie V. Powell talked on gen
eral improvement of rural schools ant
what good schools meant towards tn,
financial success of the farmer. Mr.
Bleaker gave very interesting talk OF
dairyng and its possibilities to the cot
ton farmer. Mr.. C. A. Cobb, who i
at the head of the state corn clul
movement, was very effective in wha
he had to say and delivered a most en-
couraging message.
There can be no doubt of the fac
that the boil weevil is reality, almos
upon the farmers of Grenada county
and they owe it to themselves tn &C
operate with Mr.. McLemore to fortif
against the pest. 1t is much easier
prevent an injury than to get relic
from it sometimes, after it comes
The meeting will no doubt do good
the county. The farmers are slow
adopt new ideas, but they have on the
thinking caps as never before.
