Good Exhibits.

An exhibit at the Tri-coui t.
fair last week that was deseI wing
of special mention was that OF
Mrs. RIM. Majors, of near Bald
wyn. The collection from the
farm was composed of 100 diff
IL rent articles and were arranged
most attractively. Mrs. Majors
got together the most complete
exhibit we ever saw in an agrl-
cultural fair and is entitled to
the highest praise for the inter-
e,t she took in bringing together
this magnificent collection. In
advertising her own home on the
farm, she at the same time adver-
tised the great possibilities of
this section.
Another collection entitled to
special mention was that of Mrs.
will Martin which composed
many of the articles found on the
farm. The collection was most
tastefully arranged and lent ad-
altional evidence if any were
necessary to establish the fact
,nat any one on a small farm can
supply themselves not only with
the necessaries Of life, but also
with the delicacieS.
The exhibit of Supt. Clayton
collected from Memphis was also
IN exhibition here and attracted
a great deal of attention and won
many commentators for our
worthy Superintendent.

The Attendance at
the Public Schools.

The report of the Superinten-
dent of the City schools for the
first Scholastic month was very
satisfactory except in the higher
grades. The average in these
grades was not what it should
have been by any means. 1t is
evident that a number of parents
are permitting their children to
remain away from school with
out adequate excuses. Five or
six pupils out of a grade four or
five days in a month creates dis
order and is hardship both up
on the teacher and the other
members of the grade. The
work that has been passed over
by the grade must be made up
by those who have been absent
or the absentee reaches the end
of the session without having
obtained sufficient knowledge OF
the work to pass the examina-
ton. To go back and give this
extra time and labor to the
absentee is unfair to the teacher
and the pupil who is regular and
masters the work as each day
comes and goes. Parents who
let their children remain from
school to sell papers. attend ball
games or other places of amuse-
ment, not only fail in their duty
TO their own child but also in
their duty to the other children
of the school. It's to be hoped
that the present month may
show a better attendance on the
part of the advanced pupils.
Should the attendance continue
TO fall below what is a fair aver
age it will be necessary for the
school authorities TO take some
steps to protect the child who is
regular in his attendance from
the hardships imposed by the
aySenteeS.

McFadden's Flats.

In presenting "McFadden's
Flats" this season the manage
ment offers an entirely new
show. This frolicsome hodge
podge of the stage, which has
weathered MANY seasons success
fully, will be the next attraction
at the Comus Theatre on Monday,
October 2lst.
It has been described as new
er and better than ever before,
which is "going some, to use
the vernacular, when it is con-,
sidered that this entertainment
has already reached the acme OF
perfection. A company OF real
funmakers, a concourse Of sing
ing and dancing girls, who en-
body the art OF terpsichore at its
best, ascenic equipment that can
compare favorably with the most
preten tious production before
the public and stage settings that
appeal both to the eye and heart,
are employed in this thoroughly
up to date offering. There is not
q dull moment apparently judg-
ing by the frequent applause, in
fectious laughter and continuous
merriment that attends the piece
from the rise to the fall of the
final curtain. 1t is a show for
the masses as well as the classes
and must be seen to be appreci-
ated. Adv.

Richard Clark kincannon.


Editor Journal:
Please allow me a short space
in your columns to say word in
reference to the life and tragic
death of Clark Kincannon. A
sadder event possibly never oc-
Cured in our state.
Richard Clark Kincannon, son
of the late Hugh A. Klncannon
and Mrs. Matte Clark Kincan-
non was born October IA. 1872,
and was killed by the southbound
passenger train in front OF his
home, the old Clark homestead
at Verona about 10 o'clock OF the
morning Of September 20, 1912.
On August 10, 1890, he was
married by the writer to Miss
Alma Thompson at Tupelo, Miss.
Clark grew into a handsome man
with great aptitude for business
and commanded good business
positions and his young life was
full of rromise. He was a devot-
ed and considerate son to his
widowed mother whose life
seemed centered in him. The
mutual devotion between him
and the wife of his youth was
romantic-pathetic. Words fail
to describe the pathetic grief Of
the stricken home from which he
was so suddenly taken. OF which
home he was the center and the
life.
Death is always dreadful, but
in none of its forms is death more
dreadful than when his hand is
laid upon a young man, a hus-
band and father in the prime OF
promising manhood. At such a
time men have no comfort to of
fer and those who love the fine
young man are smut up to weep
with those left in the broken
home and to point them to the
God of all comfort.
This life at best affords but a
limited field for the adequate use
of mans God given endowments
and there is need of another life
in which to use what God has be.
slowed upon US. Let us then
hope that in another life the rich
endowment of a gifted manhood
may find adequate expression and
abundant fruitage.
May God bless and comfort the
bereaved mother. the desolate
young wife and the orphaned
child OF our young friend.
Yours truly,
N. G. AUGUSTUS,
Durant, Miss, October 2, 1912.

Floyd Ledbetter.

Our town mas again Ueii
shocked and overshadowed with
sadness, caused by the death OF
Floyd Ledbetter in the early
hours of the morning of October
10, 1912, at the home of his aunt,
Mrs. Joe Caruth in Tupelo,
where he was tenderly cared for.
The skill Of physicians was OF
no avail; the hand of death could
not be stayed. Death loves a
shining mark, and the truth OF
this was never more forcibly felt
than when one so young and
! bright, and whose life promised
so much was taken. but there is
no death! Although we grieve
when beautiful. familiar forms
/ that we have learned to love are
torn from our embracing arms.
They are not dead! They have
but passed beyond the mists that
bind us here, into the new and
larger life of that serener spere. "
He has been taken by wise
and loving Father from this
world of sin ere he had tasted
life's woe and bitterness.
He was the third child of Mr..
and Mrs. j. R. Ledbetter. of We
roma, and was born June 2, 1896.
At the age of eleven years he
professed faith in Christ and
united with the Baptist church
at Tupelo. but after the family
moved to Verona, his member
ship was transferred to this
place. He was punctual IN bic
attendance at church and Sunday
School, and his vacant place will
be a source of sorrow.
In many ways he was an un-
usual boy. He had thought 90
| the certainty of death and the
uncertainty Of life with 2 serious
mess beyond his years, and ia the
last month Of his life had told his
mother that he had decided that
the sensible thing for every per-
son to do was to be ready for
death at any time, because life
is uncertain, and I want to be
ready at any minute. I"
From babyhood he was his
fathers companion, and had
grown to feel that he must bear
equally all the responsibilities
that came to his father. and
could, and did meet them with
the judgment of a man of matur-
er years, were it to, superintend
the farm or make a large cattle
deal, he was worthy Of the trust
imposed by his father. What
ever he did, he did it thoroughly.
He loved life and fun as all bows
do, and was loved by all of his
associates, yet he never shlrked
duty.
In school he was loved by all,
and his death is cause Of grief
to both teachers and pupils.
Here, as elsewhere, he was faith
fol to duty.
The last sad rites were observed
at the Baptist church on Thurs
day afternoon where many
friends of the family mingled
their tears of sympathy with the
bereaved. The remains were laid
to rest in our quiet city Of the
dead. -.
There were many beautiful
floral offerings from those who
loved him.
To the bereaved parents, sis
ters and little brother, we extend
our tenderasr sympathy and may
the God of all grace comfort the
fsad hearts in their grey desolate
day of sorrow. He is not gone
from you for long, for soon you
too will be called to that Better
Land" where there is no sick
mess and sorrow. and where pain
and death are felt and feared no
more.
A FRIEND.
