NEXT MONDAY
LEGAL HOLIDAY
FIRST MONDAY IN SEPTEMBER
LABOR DAY-GENERALLY OBJ
SERVED IN MANY PLACES.

Monday, September End. is Labor
Day, and being a national holiday all
postoffices close for the day. In
number of states it is made legal
holiday by legislative enactment. The
day is observed by organized labor
everywhere. 1t is a custom The News

no paper is issued. 1t is the custom
in many cities for all public offices as
well as all business houses to close,
giving the same holiday privileges to
employees as are given on the 4th OF
July and Christmas. Several cities
and towns in Mississippi make the
day an occasion for a general closing
and cessation from work.
Should a general movement for the
observation of next Monday by all
business houses and public offices be
decided on the matter will be given
publicity by The News. The banks
here have for several years observed
the day and they will do so this year

ATHENS OR BABYLON.

(From the Emporia, Kan. Gazette)
A man travelling through Emporia
was impressed by the beauty of the
town-its embroidered streets, its
flower garlanded parks, its paved
highways, its neat homes, its we'll
lighted thoroughfares. He wrote to
the Gazette:
'I think get some idea what EN-
poria stands for. You are not trying
to make a great city; you seem to
be trying to make place where peo-
pie get the most out of life. You are
not trying to assemble a vast number
of people in one place to live wretch
dely in what is called hive of in
dustry. You seem to be one OF the
few towns in the Emitted States that
are not striving to be cities at all.
You seem to be trying to make place
where people may live in comfort
and happiness. Your ideal is beauty
beauty of life, beauty Of environ
ment-not mere wealth and sensual
pleasure. Your ideal is Athens-not
Babylon"
That's about the size Of 1t. Every
town must choose between these
ideals-the ideals of spiritual growth
and prosperity or the ideals Of ma
terial growth and prosperity, EN-
porIa Is lined up with Athens.
