One Of Tupelo's Supreme Needs.

ture Club OF this city discussed
the above topic, each member
giving her opinion as to what is
the great need of our little city.
One of the members who had
not been a resident of Tupelo
many months said. when it came
her turn to speak, that insofar
as she had been able to Judge
TupeIo needed absolutely nothing
to make it an ideal residence
town.
Now that. statement contained
the quintessence of courtesy, and
a Whit of sincerity as we'll, but
there is an old proverb that reads
thus: Wise men change their
minds-fools never" and that
woman's mind has changed.
When we undertake to make
a city beautiful by personal
work, encouraging expressions,
and the expanding of our own
funds as well, we are not to be
supposed to do so in the spirit of
fault finding, for g%rumblers, like
the poor, we have with
US always" and from all
such good Lord deliver us, but
we want to be understood as do
ing so in the spirit Of a phiIan-
thropist, or public benefactor.
and not, that of a grumbler.
We've but o~.inform.ourselves in
order to know what Womens'
. Clubs are doing for the whole,
wide world.
When it comes to civic i'm
provement, medical examinations
for school children. rural school
improvement work, bureaus Of
information at railroad stations,
etc., we all know that women,
through their clubs, have brought
wonders to pass along all these
lines. Women play a big part
in all reforms. The men cannot
do all in any place, and it would
be a shame on the women if they
were expected to. | believe there
is not a man from the mayor
(who is a good one) down who
would resent the proffered as
sistance Of any woman, or body
of women, in Tupelo to make it
a better place to live in, and to
enforce the ordinances already
laid down in its statute books.
The writer is the wife of q
drummer, and being frequently
at the depot with him going out
and coming in, she has had op-
portunity to observed few things
at the station, and what we
started out to say is that there
is one supreme need down there.
This is a private place for women
and children, cut off entirely
from the general waiting room
and also from the ticket Offices.
A place where women travelling
with small children and infants
will not be molested by idlers or
others. A room we would say
with a little crib or nursery bed,
Or lounge, and a rocker or two,
where a tired mother can not
only rest herself but can be re-
lieved of holding her child on
her lap. Trains are often behind
time several hours and one who
has not experienced it can fully
appreciate the fatigue and wear
mess a woman endures under
such circumstances. If every
woman could see what is to be
seen nearly every day down
there what a transformation
would occur!
Some of the roads, most of
them | believe, are very much
concerned about the pretty little
green spot, with it's roses and
tropical plants growing therein
all summer, and many of them
with winter lawns. all of which
are good and refreshing to the
trayele.. But can we not.

WATER WORKS
New Settling Basin Being Erect.
ed About q Hundred Feet
Above Old One

As the Searchlight predicted some months
ago the settling basin of the Culbertson
Water Works system, which was built on
the edge of a clay bank near the river.
proved to be no good and recently the con-
tractors have begun the erection of a new
settling basin about hundred feet further
up the hill.
AT the time the Searchlight made the
kick on the old settling basin. it had settled
and the cement had huge cracks in the
bottom. An attempt was made by the
contractors to patch up this basin. but
when the water was pumped into it and 1t
began to fill. the old cracks began to open
and it was again useless
After long aud serious consideration and
several consultations with the Mayor and
members of the city council. in which the
contractors tried to get the town to assume
part of the expense of the new basins but
without avail. the contractors finally decid
ed to build the new settling basins as ad-
vised by the Searchlight last spring
The contractors will try to have the sys
tenn finished and tested out before the
ground freezes up this fall
