New Children's Books.

The "Childl ems Hour" has just been
added to the books at the library.
This series of ten volumes is edited
by Eva March Toppan and is col
lection of the best stories. poems, bits
of biography and nature study for
young readers. The set is an expen-
sive one and we are able to have it
through the help of Mrs. Rowell. 1t
is hoped that the children will use the
books, enjoy and treat them as good
books should be treated. The follow
ing good counsel is quoted from a
letter which one librarian in this
state pastes in the front of all the
children's books: Il am only q small
book. but am your true friend. and
wish to make you happy. and you will
certainly be made more happy, if |
keep clean and good looking until I am
worn out, than you will be to have
me get soiled and ragged; so will you
please help me little in this, by
never taking me up with dirty hands
never giving me to the baby to play
with; never making marks on me
with pen or pencil; never turning
down my leaves; never letting me fall
on the floor never leaving me out in
the rain !; and never throwing me at
the cat or the dog or anything else. "
There have been several other gifts
Of money, books and magazines for
the reading room, which all show the
general interest that is felt in the IL
brary. Many who share in it's bene-
fits are not able to give any thing in
return. but there is one way in which
we can all help out, by taking good
care of the books we already have.

Circuit Court In Session.

The November term OF the CIR
cult court convened Monday with
Judge Mitchell presiding. Hon.
Carl Bratton. district attorney,
representing the state and Rich
ard Bolton, the official stenogra-
pher, at his post of duty.
Sheriff G. w. Long, ably as
sisted by J. w. Hoyle. his office
deputy, with a full corps of rid
ing deputies. was ready for the
business before the court.
Circuit Clerk w. w. Thompson
had the books in good shape and
began his first court term under
favorable auspices.
The grand jury was organized
by the appointment OF Noah
Blackwell, of the First District,
as foreman. Judge Mitchell de-
livered a comprehensive and ex-
haustive charge to the jury, set
ting forth the responsibilities
resting upon them in their i'm
portant capacity.
Owing to the fact that there
has been no court in the county
during the year, the civil docket
is badly congested. The crimi-
nal docket was practically cleared
at the last November term and
there were no important crimi-
nal cases on that docket
The justices of the peace ap-
peared to have been very active
during the summer and MANY ap-
peal cases came up from their
courts. These cases sometimes
require considerable time in being
disposed of and the court will no
,loubt be prolonged by them.
In order to have ample time to
clear up the dockets Judge
Mitchell has issued an,order for
an extra term of court to begin
', hen the present term expires If
tie business demands it. The
rider has been made and juries
will be summoned for that court.

Claude Clayton Resigns.

lilo in the department Of justice
since the beginning of the pres

ted his resignation to Attorney
General Collins. Seen in regard
to the report, Mr.. Clayton con-
hrmed it, stating that he had
telephoned his resignation to Mr..
Collins, who had gone to Meridi-
an, and that it was irrevocable.
Giving as his reasons for this
step. Mr.. Clayton stated that it
was his desire. and has been for
some time, to return to Tupelo
and resume bis law practice,
which he has had to neglect ow-
ing to the incessant demands on
his time made by his official po-
sition.
This step is greatly regretted
! by officials generally. including
the justices of the supreme court.
the heads of various departments
to whom Mr.. Clayton had always
rendered faithful and prompt
service, and none will miss his
advice and counsel more keenly
than the members Of the railroad
commission, the commissioner Of
agriculture and the department
of education, whom he has al
ways advised and helped consid-
erably.
There are rum ,rs about the
capitol that Mr.. Clayton was not
in harmony with the policy OF
the department. in certain mat
ters which have. .heenshandled but
| these rumors of course lacked Of
fetal confirmation. On the sur
face it is simply a free American
citizen exercising his inalienabie
right to resign a public Office, if
the spirit so moves him.

for Tnpelo, where Mrs. Clayton
and the children had preceded
him. and where, as he states. ne
